I have very few actual “coaching” dates in my schedule for the rest of this month. Yes, the client’s weekly email reports will be answered promptly and we have a couple of telephone call-in days – but the rest of the month will be primarily dedicated to planning. Planning the next 3-months, our 2006 marketing

You know how sometimes you start a day’s work and just cannot get “into it”? There is stuff on your mind that gets in the way. You are too tired or too pre-occupied with “other stuff” to be able to give your best? It happened to me yesterday. After about three hours sat at my

We finished our meetings with “influencers” for this week, enjoying a delightful lunch in Leeds with John Tiernan of Dental Protection. John has “been around” in the UK profession for over 20 years and has achieved success in practice as well as becoming a leading commentator from his perspective within the medico-legal environment.

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

Cardiff workshop completed yesterday – and we will never darken the doorstep of the Moat House Hotel again! Once more, the delegates created a lively atmosphere, even though the hotel air-conditioning broke down and we all sweltered in the afternoon. The tour is over and today I am working in my Cheshire apartment before closing
