I did dry January this year, and in fact I’m carrying on through February and March in the run up to the Brighton marathon at the beginning of April. Not drinking alcohol has helped my training enormously. I’ve been sleeping better and it has made me lighter which makes it much easier …
I went to Copenhagen last weekend. I attended a leadership course and got to experience a little taste of the Danish way of life. Although it was dark when I had time to explore, I still saw an abundance of beautifully designed furniture, cosy cafes and bars, clean and natural spaces in …
I hope you are well and have started the new year feeling energised and positive. If, like me, you have started the year with some new strategies you’d like to implement it can be super helpful to create some accountability around making those changes by using an accountability buddy.

We don’t often sit and be with ‘what’s here now.’ ‘What’s here now’ is a stock Co-Active coaching question, and it allows you to slow down and look at what’s really happening externally and internally in this …
I really hope you are feeling good on this blowy October Thursday. Sometimes I become consumed by the minutia of life. I worry about the small stuff, I get absorbed in things I have no control over. I find myself forgetting that there is a big wide world out there with billions …
