24th April 2017 One of my nieces uses the term “Adulting” on her Facebook posts. I like the term. Even at my grand old age of 50 I comment on how grown up some of my friends have become – e.g., “your home is so grown up” (i.e., clean, dangerously light-coloured furniture, belongings that look […]
20th April 2017 “Adminalation” – that’s a cross between Admin and Annihilation. Megan went back to the UK last night. Julia’s been gone on an exotic holiday for a few days. So it’s just Ben and me now for a bit. Having had some pretty unstructured days recently, I thought I’d put a bit of […]
17th April 2017 My first post in over 18 months, following the deaths of my sweet friend Don on 11th September 2015, my youngest brother Edward, on 10th January 2016, and my husband Mike, on 8th April 2017. This is going to be raw. It’s purely personal, not much to do with my core work, except that […]
6th October 2015 Long before Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook made popular the term with the title of her excellent book, “Lean In”, I had a different experience of the phrase. My encounters with the term stem from the Therapeutic/Coaching/Counselling world where “Lean into the discomfort” sets the challenge to those in my field to remain […]
6th March 2015 Part two then is a small personal act of courage. One of those “daily acts of courage” I referenced in part one. Nothing wild or dramatic.

16th February 2015 Some time ago I wrote a couple of blog posts on Hope. One reader’s response was a request that I write about Courage some time. So here we are, at last. Part One is about my changing reflections as to what courage is. Part Two is one small personal act of “ordinary […]
7th June 2014 This post has little – perhaps even nothing – to do with my professional work. Other than the fact that it explains something of who I am, some of my passions and interests outside the work I do. Which I would argue has A LOT to do with my professional work. I have always […]
28th April 2014 The second story that came to my mind about hope is that of “Pandora’s Box”. One of my children has recently been reading about some of the Greek Myths and Legends for school, and since I wasn’t entirely sure I knew the story of Pandora’s Box anyway, I did some research. Based […]
21st April 2014 I was with a prospective coaching client recently. We were finishing up our first face-to-face meeting, designed to have me better understand her challenges, and for both of us to determine whether or not we thought we could work well together. I asked a question I often ask at the end of […]
