For some reason, I’ve held a belief for years that I am responsible for other peoples emotions. I have been called a ‘charmer’ in the past because I have developed an ability to decipher where someone is at emotionally, and then respond and react in ways that help them to relax and …
I live in a building with 11 flats, and we have a lovely man named Sean who maintains the garden. I just walked past him on my way out to the coffee shop to write the blog and we had a little chat about the grass, and how the tree blocks out …
I hope the sun is shining for you today. I can feel it warming my legs as I write. When we coach clients we will sometimes invite them to recall a time in their life when they felt a certain way. We encourage them to summon up the image of that time …
