Where does it come from?
What you see, hear, taste.
Who you listen to, read, talk to.

Just Do ItIf you can dream it, you can do itThe Do LecturesDon’t think, just doPlan, Do, Review How can a two letter word be so powerful? There’s no anxiety, no hesitation, no apprehension.It’s filled with energy, positivity and action.All contained in such a small word.

It’s probably the most frequently asked question that I’ve been asked in my 45 years on this planet.Having a 13 year old daughter means this has been a regular topic of conversation for the last 12-18 months.

It’s a pretty daunting thought for some.It’s a really exciting thought for others. One of my guilty pleasures each morning is listening to the Chris Evans Breakfast Radio Show.I like his positivity, enthusiasm and the great insights that he shares.But I know for some people he’s not their cup of tea. Until now he’s resisted the call of social media and even refuses to own a smartphone.This...

I’d asked the question to Pete the IT Manager who was running the weekly IT meeting. “No sorry that one’s taken” he said. “Ah okay, I’ll grab another” I replied. The meeting started and finished with the chair still empty.After the meeting Pete got my attention and said he wanted a quick chat. “I just wanted to explain...
Tsundoku is the Japanese term for a reading pile. When I went to bed I noticed something had changed.The books I’m reading had been formed into a neat pile.As individual books, scattered around a room, it didn’t create a problem.But when stacked one on top of another, the problem became clear.Too many books and not enough time and focus to finish them.
