First chance I have had to visit the blog this week – I woke at 4.30am this morning and, after trying to close the imaginary air-lock door of my thoughts, I gave up, got up and have been tidying my UK apartment as we have a potential purchaser round to view later today and I

Yesterday I was congratulating a coach client on the success he has enjoyed in practice development since launching his first ezine just 6 months ago. “26 weeks and 26 issues” he said and then went on to describe how the ezine had opened doors for him even where he didn’t know there were doors! His

Back from a week’s vacation and I run through my usual routine: 1. walk in the door 2. check the mail (no nasties) 3. check emails (no nasties) 4. breath a sigh of relief 5. unpack toiletries into bathroom (I’m so neat and tidy) 6. unpack laundry and load washing machine 7. unpack large pile

My flight from Toronto to Schipol was six and half hours – and KLM did a great job of making me feel comfortable. Sadly, my stop over in Schipol is longer than the transatlantic flight – a total of over seven hours. However, I must say how impressed I am with the facilities here at

So yesterday (Thursday) morning I woke at 4.00am in Toronto, continuing my theme of the week (jet-lag) – and did 4 hours work in my hotel room before going downstairs to present day 2 of a 3-day workshop to 19 clients. Before I left the room I reminded myself that I had to break off

After a restful holiday weekend I rise at 4.00am and drive 3 hours from Manchester to Bristol Airport, my intention to catch a connecting flight from Bristol to Amsterdam and then on to Toronto. Why?
