How to Stay Calm and Centred During the Coronavirus Crisis
We are all on high alert right now, and this is understandable. But panic and negative thinking only add to our adrenaline output which lowers our immunity. South Africans are really good in a crisis, and really good at coming together to reach a common goal and to unite against a common energy. Now,...
20 Questions to Achieve a 20/20 Vision for 2020 on The Azania Mosaka Show
I chatted with Azania Mosaka on Radio 702 about planning for the new year and 20 questions you can ask yourself to achieve a 20/20 vision for 2020.
Great Things Happen When We Plan With Purpose
I’m the first person to admit that I know absolutely nothing about rugby (I irritate the people I’m watching with by saying things like, “why do they have to be so horrible to each other?” and, “is it really necessary to be so rough?”). I do, however understand things like passion, purpose,...
Follow Your Own GPS
Do you remember a time before the internet and smartphones? I do (because that’s how old I am). We had to be more mindful about how we were in the world. We had to plan our time better – no messaging a friend to tell them we were running late to meet them. We had to exercise our memories more...
Set Your Own Agenda for 2019
If you are anything like many of the people in my immediate orbit, you have found yourself limping towards the end of the year feeling more than a little dazed and confused. How did we get to the end of the year so quickly? And, at the same time, why did it take so long? Why do I feel so tired...
When the Coach is Ready, the Clients Appear
I coach, supervise and/or mentor many coaches. One of the recurring issues that comes up in sessions is bewilderment and frustration about erratic work. It’s a phenomenon I also experience, as I suspect most coaches do. Some weeks we are so busy we can barely draw breath and other weeks we have...
Eight Ways to Regain Control
Local and global events have been unsettling and even alarming of late. There is so much that is unpredictable, and out of our control. Rather than allowing that which we can’t change to destabilise us, now is the time to turn our attention to what we can influence and control; our own habits, choices...
Achieving Goals That Are TRUE
For years now I have worked with clients who come for coaching to achieve certain goals. They may want to lose weight, find love, leave a relationship, do better at work, leave a job, manage anxiety, recover from burnout….essentially, everyone who comes for coaching wants help in making changes that...
Trust the Process
One of my mantras is “Don’t panic. Trust the process. All will be well.” I say it to myself, and others, regularly. So often, in fact, that I have often thought that I should print a bunch of bumper stickers that say “Trust the Process.” I know it. I believe it. I try to live it. But...
D is for…
Do and Don't. We get Do and Don't messages all through our lives. 'Do be careful. Don't take chances. Do make plans. Don't get ahead of yourself.' Here - I hope - are some rather more constructive and liberating ones. Don’t: Talk yourself into things you don’t want to. Talk...
Allowing Myself to Allow…
Yesterday I was in the horns of a dilemma: to apply for a job I was asked to apply for, or to say "thanks but no thanks". After some agonizing I let it go and decided to trust the process- the right decision would come to me when I allowed it to. I had asked if the position could be a flexi- or part-time...
A Spoonful of My Own Medicine
I hate/love it when I get asked to apply for jobs that I’m not looking for. Just as I am settling into a great coaching/consulting/writing groove, along comes an email that asks me to apply for a post. This is the third time this year that it has happened to me. The first time it was a no-brainer...
Don’t Panic. Trust the Process. All Will be Well.
My mantra of ‘Don’t Panic. Trust the Process. All Will be Well' is one I repeat often – to my coaching clients and to my clients who are coaches. My coaching clients need to hear it because often the discomfort that they experience when they start to make changes in their lives (what I call...
