How to Build Confidence

Do you ‘have’ confidence, or not? It is possible to be so clear cut? In my mind, having confidence, or being confident, can depend on the context or situation, who you’re surrounded by, how much trust you have in yourself, and whether or not your mind monkeys are chucking a whole load of fear your way. There is no doubt that when you lack confidence life can be debilitating. It can stop you from doing things, prevent you going out, keep you cocooned in your safe environment and stop you visiting new places. But if you’re willing to have some…

Boundaries

Boundaries are an invisible line which we put in place to protect us in some way. Without boundaries we can be manipulated, coerced, experience time-suck, be unfocused and ultimately be living a life that isn’t genuine. Boundaries are something that separates, be that physical space, time, your needs or your feelings.

I’m being taken out for lunch today, but I also have another milestone I’m celebrating which I wanted to share with you. And that is, I’ve been alcohol free for 500 days.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a conversation where you are learning about yourself, where you are being helped to explore and develop, and where you are stepping up courageously to take bold action, safe in the knowledge that I’ll be there to look after you. Being coached can lead to magical and positive transformations in how you think about your life, how you behave around other people and what you believe to be true.
