The No.1 Secret to a Successful Month End

The No.1 Secret to a Successful Month End

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!”, I hear you ask.

It is the last day of the month!

The last day of the month comes as a relief for some and a stress point for other people. Salaried employees experience the relief of payday while bookkeepers fight the overwhelm of deadlines for close-off. For those who have not achieved what they set out to, there may be disappointment. If it…

How My Husband Lost His Mind and Why I Am So Happy He Did

How My Husband Lost His Mind and Why I Am So Happy He Did

It is a year ago this week since my (now) husband broke.

Without fanfare he was stopped in his tracks; unable to get out of bed, unable to eat, unable to think, unable to feel, unable to keep abusing his mind and soul. All he could do was sleep and occasionally weep. Even sitting upright took too much energy.

At the time he was a successful insurance broker. He was highly acknowledged in his…

Too many people make this RISKY mistake, don't let it be you!

Too many people make this RISKY mistake, don’t let it be you!

Today I am going controversial. There is a lot of noise in the coaching world right now about whether coaches should be required to go through formal coach training before they hit the market with their services.

I will say straight out, that I stand firmly on the side of the qualification advocates. It is my contention that hiring a ‘coach’ with no formal coaching training is a very risky…

I was fired for being pregnant and it was one of the best things that happened to me

I was fired for being pregnant and it was one of the best things that happened to me

People often ask how I got into coaching. The truth is I’ve never really done things the way other people would do them which has often meant that I have taken a longer route to get to my destination. It’s probably a good thing since coaching didn’t even exist when I was studying.

When I started University, I thought that I could become a lawyer, have my own practice and a family while I worked…

Personal Growth - The 3 Biggest Barriers

Personal Growth – The 3 Biggest Barriers

What’s the deal with all this personal growth and self-development business? Why bother in the first place? Charles Atlas who earned himself the title as the ‘the world’s most perfectly developed man’ had this to say: ‘Truest SUCCESS is but the development of self.’

It’s so easy to treat personal development as ‘optional’ and so few people ever take the time to actively improve themselves.…

Which comes first, shadow or light?

Which comes first, shadow or light?

Yippee! It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s a good day in a good week after some tough weeks

Frustrated and angry, I complained to a fellow coach that it feels as though the past few years (not just weeks) have consisted of me lurching from crisis to crisis, never really getting sustainable consistent momentum. I was fed up, and right about it!

Mea Cupla, Mea Culpa

How to know you have found your passion.

How to know you have found your passion.

Yippee! It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. Because I am living into my passion!

My passion is working 1:1 with clients. When I am coaching the world outside falls away and all that exists is me and the client. All my own troubles evaporate and I am completely emmersed in the session. Sometimes when I leave a session it feels as though I am waking up as my reality creeps…

Why today is more important than you think!

Why today is more important than you think!

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. Because there are no other days!  

Recently I wrote about my favourite day being a choice, a choice to embrace the new day with eager anticipation regardless of what circumstances await. This is true, it is a choice. It goes a bit deeper than that though; the real truth is that there is only today, so it must be my favourite.

Proven benefits of meditation that will amaze you

Proven benefits of meditation that will amaze you

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s group meditation day!

I love how I feel after a meditation; I remember my connection to life, to the oneness. Colours shine and my world becomes manageable again. I have used meditation practices for decades and following Dylan’s breakdown he was encouraged to use mindfulness meditation as part of his recovery. Dylan & I…

The surprising thing I discovered as part of a group

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s volunteer day today!

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about being part of the Port Alfred parkrun volunteer crew. Over the months I have come to genuinely look forward to my time on the side of the Kowie River with my fellow volunteers and the intrepid park runners. My pleasure at being part of this volunteer body is…

Friday is a IMPOSTER!

Friday is a IMPOSTER!

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s Friday, dah!

What is it about Fridays that makes them so cool? Friday is a work day, just like Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Often there are deadlines piled up against the back end of Friday afternoon hanging over our heads. It isn’t even the weekend yet. Still, there is something magical about Friday that makes…

The secret ingredient inside every successful family

The secret ingredient inside every successful family

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s Thursday Surprise Day!

When I was growing up my Dad was paid weekly. In those days an “EFT” took 4 days! His wages were paid in on Friday and only reflected in his account on Tuesday morning. So Tuesday was shopping day for Mom. She always bought us a sweet in the weekly shop and that became known as the Tuesday Surprise!…

It’s the Beginning of the End (or is it?)

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. It’s a double header today- 2 favourites in one day!!!

I have a client concluding their coaching journey today. After 3 months of working alongside a client, we have become collaborators. As the coach, it has been my duty over the months to be mindful of our objectives and keep my client on track. Even so, the client’s level…

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?

Yippee!  It’s TODAY, my favourite day!! “What, why?!” I hear you ask. I have a confession to make ….

I didn’t wake up this morning feeling like today was my favourite day. I woke up this morning feeling sad and anxious. I’d had a brilliant day yesterday, full of positive energy and hope; waking up so blue made no sense at all. When I think about it now, suspect I know what triggered it; I am the…
