Preferably well before you feel you need one. A great time to work with a coach is before the overwhelm hits, before the sudden feeling of upset, crisis, burn out or groundhog day.

"I'll say NO, but thank you for thinking of me." 2021 Mantra?

One of my pet coaching topics that I tend to bang on about when given just half a chance is saying NO more often than not! Why is this? Well…

Just in these last 2 weeks I have received an incredible dose of encouragement and good feels by watching 3 NZ documentaries. Each doco has showcased that being strong means being vulnerable too and that if you are just strong you may well buckle under the pressure that creates.

The words kind & compassion are used a great deal to describe “worthy” leaders & “good” people. I’m keen to add my penny.

Acting with kindness & compassion does not equal soft & gooey.

Ikigai : Roughly translated means “a reason for being” or “the happiness of always being busy”

Whilst studying Ikigai I have come across some info on how important close bonds, made by being part of a local community and the benefits from this community, are for our wellbeing and furthermore, our longevity.
