What is a vision board? It is a visual anchor for your goals.
I'm never short of an opinion. My colleague remarked that I was unusually forthright in board meetings, disagreeing with the chair openly on several occasions. I've never been one to balk or pander to others because of rank; I believe whole-heartedly that every individual has something to offer debate, regardless of ex
What do you most regret and feel guilty for? If you said 'nothing' then you are a rare human indeed. Go clone yourself - the world needs you. \ Many of my clients are racked by the shenanigans of past woes - real and imagined. It keeps them miserable and self-flagellating. And here's the crazy thing: they
You can sense Roslyn from out in the carpark. She is a tornado of stress and drama. Her energy whips up a frenzy around her and the more intense the chaos, the more focused she becomes in the eye of the storm. And when she leaves, there is an eerie stillness. \ Roslyn's vibrational signature is reckless and violen
How do I get what I REALLY want? This process works for any situation - whether you are leading a team, going for a promotion, want some more cash in your pocket or want to find a man (that's how I found Rob!) Step 1. Decide. It's a 'burn all bridges' kind of decision. This means you are taking action as you ar
For the last few weeks I've been reading various blogs where folks are baring it all - speaking the deep truth about who they are, and what they really think. Even if it upsets a few people. \ This kind of authenticity and courage is rare, attractive, and compelling. \ When someone stands in the truth of who
Ever wonder how some people seem to always get their own way? They seem to glide easily through life, gathering supporters and fans as they go. \ Their secret? \ Influence. Whether you want to make an impact on your family or on your organisation, influence is critical. \ Here are five strategies you
Getting what you want involves being deliberate and focused with your intentions. You get clear, you get excited, you take inspired action, and things manifest. \ And then sometimes life whacks you with a wet fish that knocks you flat. \ Like how I was busy and enthralled with my work at Inner Compass, the A
"It is not enough to sit around and believe. Demonstrate trust by listening to your inner guidance and taking action on it." \ How's that for a spiritual butt kicking? Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer in their book, "Creating Mo.ney - Attracting Abundance" outline a crucial component of the manifestation process
Ghandhi said, 'be the change you want to see in the world'. Ok Ghandhi, sounds good. But what the heck do you really mean? And am I really up to it, on a Friday, at the end of a long week, with the weekend and holiday season inching close? Do we all have it in us to be Ghandhi? To care selflessly for our
I've been listening to the Abraham-Hicks's 'Money and the Law of Attraction' CDs. One of the significant threads of advice is 'start telling a new story'. \ We create our lives from the stories we tell about past, future, and present events. The stories evoke emotion – a vibrational beacon – that draws the es
There is really only one way to answer this question: of course you do. \ If you did not answer the question this way, then this is a clue you are not programmed for wealth. \ Did you think wealth was a result of circumstances or luck? Do you feel like it is something constantly out of reach? Do ...
This is what happened: When I was at Outward Bound, \"Jonas\" was an off-the-wall instructor who had a good heart, bad habits, and (in my opinion) a skewed view of the world. He was caught smoking (a big no-no on a non-smoking property), he enjoyed a bit of pot - ok, a lot of pot, and the unforgivable - was dominant an
Ever get close to your goal, and then find yourself four steps behind? Like you just about reach your financial target and then whammo! The car needs fixing. Or your training is finally on track and poof! You get an injury. Or you meet the nicest guy and kabam! Turns out he's got another girl somewhere. The pro
Sick of all the Law of Attraction hype? Me too. Here's something much, much better. \ It's official. I am finally sick of all the Law of Attraction hype. I have checked out various sites and products promising delivery of your heart's desire with ease and swift response. Law of Attraction ...
Leading can be difficult and painful – hence the notion of 'crucible' experiences: an event that was challenging or even harrowing acts as a transformational experience, much like a crucible provides a container for huge temperatures that initiate a re-structure of its contents. \ Leaders too can act as crucibl
Watching those awful stacks as riders come flying off their bikes sets my knees quivering. Ouch! Cycling up and down mountains is seriously risky stuff. Stuart O’Grady is in hospital with fractured limbs and a punctured lung; Robbie McEwen pulled out after he dislocated his collarbone on a ...
What are you most stuck on? You know - the thing that lingers like a bad biting smell... And no matter what you do to shift it, it still stinks. \ Chances are it's your personal demon with its barbed tail firmly wrapped around your brain, spewing out hellfire and misery whenever you want to achieve something diff
What are you hanging on to? For years my Dad told this story about his neighbour who stole his toy lawnmower and got away with it! Forty years later he was still indignant about the unfairness of it, how cheated he felt, the resentment he had about his mother who did not believe him and clipped him about the ears for b
Here's what happened: for a while now I've been watching a project develop that I secretly think is a waste of time and doomed to fail. \ I've kept my head in the sand and just ignored it, pretending it's someone else's business. (Not great leadership here, I can assure you!) But here's the thing: if the

This message takes listening to a deeper, more magnetic level that creates deep, authentic connection. The first person you sh
It started off badly. I took a phone call from a sales rep who talked really quickly and wanted me to sign up on the spot for the unbelievably-amazing-super-duper-offer. My spider senses were tingling, and I backed off and used the great pause button, \"I must talk with my husband.\" Not taking 'no' for an answ
I read in the Good Vibe University recently that when you pray for courage, what the Universe gives you is a situation where you get the opportunity to be courageous. Likewise if you pray for strength, you'll be thrust into situations that require strength. It's better to skip all that and go for the good stuff
Fighting cancer is not the best way to heal. Think about it: if you've got a broken ankle do you try to force it to mend? If you've got a cold, do you fight it into submission? If you've got diarrhea to you challenge it to a duel? Healing occurs in a restful, peaceful state. 'Fighting' isn't so peaceful.
Life sometimes really, really sucks. These are the days when you think you might barely be able to make it through without floundering in tub of your own tears or strangling yourself with the force of angst. And yet by some miracle, you emerge through this chaos.This is what Martha Beck calls in her book, Steering by S
Do you have a very strong locus of control? You know - you feel absolutely in control of your own destiny, know how to influence, make decisions, take risks, create results... \ I'm a bit like that. \ OK, a lot like that. \ I've been an independent little tot since I was able to walk. Mum had to keep me

Every single one of my coaching clients hires me because they want something to be different. Whether that's an improved relationship, a better way to handle stress, greater self-knowledge, enhanced well-being, a new job, a new mindset - it all comes down to making changes. Changes that last. \ Real, long-lasting,
I couldn't believe my eyes - the email read - \"I'm feeling so disheartened lately. I have not hit any of my goals. I missed my personal best by 25 seconds. My list of contacts has not been growing at the same rate. I haven't reached my revenue targets.\" Can you relate? Have you got goals you are just missing?
When I think 'resistance' what comes to mind is the French Resistance: a bunch of intrepid and dedicated underground rebels fighting for the freedom of their country - all with a certain 'je ne sais quoi' and irresistible French accents... \ But that's only good in the movies. Dealing with oppression and tyranny i
When we talk about 'making a difference', one of two things happens: \ 1. Pangs of guilt for not doing enough for charity or \ 2. Smug disdain for such a well-worn weasel word over-used by spin doctors. Personally, if I read one more job ad that encourages you to join the firm and 'make a diff
Every time a client sits across from me I can see their Inner Rock Star. Clear as a bell. I see their passion, their vigour, their purpose, and the most awesome version of who they are. Present tense.
My colleague Agi asked me recently, "so what have you learned from cancer?" \ I replied, "I always thought it was about stress - cancer was a lesson on how to avoid stress." But it's become more than that. Cancer has taught me many things. Some I always know and act on. Others I need a kick up the but
This was a question asked by a client about how to 'make the best of a bad situation'. Great question. The short answer is - you don't. Dog pooh is dog pooh. You don't want it. You don't like it. And you certainly don't want to eat it. 'But hang on', I hear you say, deliberate creator's shackles up
If only he'd completed his training and learned how to manage his emotions better! Make sure you learn the real secret and stay away from the Dark Side. \ I admit it, I'm a self-confessed Star Wars geek/fan.

Ever got stuck mulling a problem over and over and over? And then tarted thinking about it again only to get stuck all over again? \ Yup - been there, done that! \ It's not that there is no solution, but you need to change the way you are thinking, how you are focusing.
Here's the thing: we're all way too attached to manifesting stuff. \ We get tripped up all the time! We think it's the lover, the car, the job, the money, the hot sexy bod that is going to give us that feeling of joy and excitement. \ It's not any of those things. The #1 Manifestation Success Tip: Ma
Olivia Bartlett-Marques is a remarkable woman. She hasn't let any social norms affect a passionate vision of her life. She started in the fitness industry at seventeen, and became the Managing Director and partner in the burgeoning business, TEAM Fitness, at just 21. At 24 she took out the novice and general awards for
When my client asked me what I see as mistakes that people make in leadership roles, one example jumped to the fore - 'Sally'. Observing Sally is like watching a train smash in slow motion. She demonstrates the first two top leadership mistakes. The remaining one comes from examples closer to home. Mistake 1: I
It took me awhile to figure this out. Abundance is a reflection of the love you flow in your life. The more love you feel, the more abundant riches of all kinds manifest. It's a beautiful relationship - you flow love, and abundance flows back to you. \ Before you think I'm going all hippie on you, let's get to the
Does anyone else wonder what will happen to Apple now that Steve-The-Genius Jobs has passed on? If there is ever to be a test of his leadership, it's now; what survives when the leader doesn't?

Worried about your kids? Work? Health? Money? \ Worried about worrying? \ We all know that you get what you think and feel about the most, so if you're worrying, you're creating all sorts of havoc with your feel-good intentions. \ And if you're leading a team, a family, an organisation, or a committee,
Whether you're leading an organisation or leading a family, or just trying to get by, inspiration is integral to an easier life. It's way easier than motivation. Motivation is what my trainer does when he promises ' just five more' and then threatens me with three minutes on the rowing machine if I don't do it.
"It's what I am here to do!" she blurted and tears gushed forth. \ This was 'Sarah', a client sharing a moment of acknowledgment that she finally knew what she wanted to do with her life.

You've seen them - buttoned up and squeezed into that blue suit uniform - men and women at networking functions, business lunches, board rooms, and the ubiquitous blue suit conference. \ It's a sea of uniformity, stoic observation of tradition and formality, toeing the party line, maintaining status quo. \ I
When it comes to defining 'success', there are three crucial mistakes you may be making, and it's keeping you from experiencing the abundant success you deserve.

What does the Dalai lama say when he's got just half an hour? He speaks from the heart. Here is what he said (and I hung on every word): 1. Money is important but it is not the absolute source of happiness. Love, compassion, and forgiveness give you the emotional strength and freedom to be happy. My thoughts: a
What is the price you are prepared to pay for your dream to come true? \ I'll tell you what I'm NOT prepared to sacrifice: my health, my marriage, my values, my integrity. \ Everything else is up for grabs.

I am a huge fan of Tudor England. Who knew a bunch of stinky, violent, and paranoid 500 year old wanna-be royals could be so compelling? And yet they hold a secret for manifestation and leadership. \ It's in the rawness of the stories we find some fundamental truths. \ King Henry VIII divorced his first wife
