This weekend I assisted at a coaching workshop. The participants of the group came from all over the globe, bringing a variety of ideas, cultures, languages and experiences into one room for three days. And the result was incredible. The group connected on such a profound level, all seeing each other as …
I’ve been thinking about the ways we are judged in today’s society and have come to realise we are judged by things that trap us; money, status, whether we have power over other people, whether we are good at stuff, whether we have a big house, a fast car, or whether we …
