What we can all learn about Megxit – a Certified Coach’s perspective
I have found myself gripped by Megxit the last few days and as a Certified Coach and Communications Expert of 23 years, I believe this situation is one that offers a lot of learning for us in all areas of our life, especially in the workplace… This blog is dedicated to creating real-life conversations at work, however it can be used in any area of conflict that may be happening in your life right now… Here goes.
Are you with me? A blog about choosing to feel
It’s time to stop limiting my joy and wonder. It’s time to move into the present moment, fully. It’s time to feel and express what’s inside me. It’s time to shine all of my light out into the world… Are you with me?
Tuning into creativity, inclusivity and feminine leadership
What are you repairing, healing and creating in your life right now? What lenses are you currently looking at life through and what do you sense is required for you to make a change right now?
Breakdowns and breakthroughs are essential change makers
In my own personal feminine quest to live, lead and love as an empowered woman, I discovered I was scared of my own lovability* (see my definition of lovability at the end) and the softness and power of my own heart. Today human lovability is often referred to as vulnerability, we’ve covered the deeper meaning with another word, which explains why there is so much confusion in our interactions. How often do you say exactly what you mean in one day?
The danger of women v men and how we bring true balance into the workplace
The tide is turning in culture, the way we view ourselves and each other. Press for Progress, Me too and Time’s up campaigns fuelled by Oprah Winfrey’s speech at The Golden Globes are creating a growing global awareness around issues of sexual harassment and gender in equality, and putting increasing pressure on Business to change.
The witch is back and she’s practicing magic in a coven near you!
In a world that is obsessed with controlling time, I have an urge to escape to a place that is held together with a different thread. As women, we are natural harmonisers and our instincts when followed can lead us away from danger, as well as into resonance places – when we follow our longings and share our stories with others, the atmosphere pops. I, like many of my kindred sisters and brothers, have a longing for more of this and I am happy to report that there is a new form of uprising happening in pockets of our world that is bringing people together to celebrate the beauty of life.
Authentic love is all you need
I am a woman who has learned to love herself. I’ll be honest with you, this didn’t happen overnight because like many Generation X women I grew up believing that loving myself was arrogant, big headed and selfish.
You were born to feel
Healing the woman within – how I came back from the brink and turned grief into gratitude…
Listening to the wise voice of the crone
Deep within you is a wise and ancient voice; do you hear her speaking to you in times of need? Or perhaps you feel her energy during restful pauses?
What’s your dream?
I dream of a world where we are not persecuted by our gender, social status, colour, creed, sexual preferences and of course, where we remove our own self imposed restrictions too. I dream of a world where we take responsibility for our words, actions and power, where we keep showing up and creating more of the good stuff, together.
Women, will you take off your masks?
My life purpose is to help female leaders connect with their body wisdom so they can move from a place of inner intuitive knowing.
Did you come to this planet to get a bigger house or to expand and grow?
This is a blog about letting go of what is keeping you stuck and tuning into your own body wisdom, and the calling of your divinity.
Dare to say
What are you not saying at work? What is stopping you from taking a leap and expressing your opinion?
Don’t be afraid of your shadow
Don’t be afraid of the dark dear one, don’t be afraid. The path you are walking is one of light. Don’t be afraid of your shadow, it’s time to heal your pain.
What’s your Intention?
When you set an intention for the day, year or your life’s fundamental purpose you are saying, send me more of this. Mastery of anything takes practice, so consider that by setting your intention you are saying, challenge and grow me in this way…
Your emotions are the gateway to creativity
If you feel sad cry. If you feel happy smile or in my case, cry again. If you feel anger stamp your feet. Choose a physical expression that best expresses your emotions and you will feel the gateway to creativity open…
Why I no longer aspire to be Wonder Woman or any other pseudo-female
Who did you look up to when you were a child and what does this choice reveal to you? Who inspires you today and what’s the deeper meaning of those you follow? My childhood role model was Wonder Woman because I aspired to her beauty, intelligence and power. As an adult, I see a feminine warrior, fighting for justice from a place of compassion and heart, so it’s easy to understand why she had an impact on me. I also see the damage done by this outdated notion that women have to be and have it all, beautifully poised and groomed while fighting on the right side of the law.
She rises
For too long the true feminine voice has been suppressed, ignored, tied in chains in a metal container at the bottom of the sea. Bound, gagged and blind. But now she rises, strong, supple and soft in all the right places.
Are you in need of a soul detox?
Back at your desk and already struggling to maintain those New Year resolutions? This blog is about a trip that will support you to leave behind the old and make way for the new. We are calling all trailblazing women who want to live and love differently.
Embody the wisdom of your inner Goddess
Do you want to discover what it means to be a Goddess in today’s world and access a part of you that knows only love? Do you want to overcome the mindless chatter of your ego and navigate home to your true self, and power within a community of other women?
Think small, live big – the key to how is to take baby steps
I am tired of the notion of playing it big. I used to subscribe to this idea once upon a time, but life experience has taught me that the world of ‘big’ is the place where the ego resides.
Creating a new feminine collective consensus
I am committed to the creation of a new divine feminine collective consciousness and wanted to share what this means to me, why it’s important and how you can get involved.
Finding love in the eye of the storm!
Storm Doris has hit our shores and I’m sitting on a very late train, keeping people waiting on the other side and practicing what I preach!
Set your heart on fire and walk your path to love
From my work with hundreds of women around the world, I am learning that many of us have a limited perspective of our own self worth in relation to love.
Get off your bum
Who am I, how did I get here and what’s my true purpose? These three questions form the basis of our quest to understand the meaning of life.
Shhhhhhh, it’s time to listen with all your senses
When did you last really listen to others, to what was really being said, to the deeper meaning behind the words? When did you last observe their body language and hold the space for deeper connection?
Welcome
Whatever is present in your life, welcome it. Whatever you have, welcome it. Choose not to turn your face away, reject what has been given, no matter how harsh or unworthy you deem it or them to currently be.
Learning to dance in the storm
This is a blog about how feelings are healing, and how trauma was my gateway to unconditional love… It’s been one huge challenging year, full of ups, downs, twists and turns… I’d go as far as to say, it’s been one of my most challenging ones yet. 2018 will be remembered as the year that taught me to dig deeper than ever before and open my heart to unconditional love. In my work as a coach, it appears that I’m not alone in surviving the intensity of this year, and so I wanted to share some of my learnings and challenge you to reflect, and create new beginnings as we enter 2019.
Are you ready to shine as a leader today?
Who are you when you’re at your natural best, when you allow yourself to shine? What qualities break free in you and what’s your contribution? What conditions are required that allow you to step into your true essence? What lifts your lid and what closes you down? All important questions to sit with for a while that will help you to define how well do you know yourself as an individual and leader?
How being gentle inspires creativity in the workplace
As part of an exercise we were running recently that opened employees to the different positions of leadership, the CEO of a major multinational company said these words to his team, “be gentle.”
A Total eclipse of the moon
Today (31 January 2018) sees a total lunar eclipse occurring as a rare super blue blood moon appears in our skies. This occurance is like a spiritual microphone that will amplify any efforts already being made on our journey of spirit, so it’s an energetic shift that requires attention.
Space is friendly. And why you should burn your to-do lists!
I’m an extroverted introvert, so I constantly flirt between being at the heart of things or retreating to a quiet room.
The no plan, plan
All my life I’ve had a plan… A woman on a mission whose driving some place. Creation and purpose could be my middle names.
Look for the clues to find your true purpose
When my clients say to me, I don’t know what my true purpose is; I smile and say, “what have you always done for as long as you can remember that is so natural that it doesn’t feel significant?” What do other people say about you and what do you do that you don’t necessarily get paid for, yet?
Happy International Women’s Day!
What ever you are doing today, take some moments to reflect on your gifts and talents as a woman. Do you appreciate that you come from a long linage of women and that as a woman you have a thousand women in you?
The empowered female
Get in touch with your power and roam free.
Together we are stronger
My path to female communion and collaboration has been a long road; for many years I was unconsciously plugged into unhealthy beliefs that separated me from other women. I feared, resented and was jealous of them.
