Lifting certain objects out of the darkness. Out of the noise, into existence. I imagine my light sweeping through zig-zags. Dawn. Environment streams in, jostling. At first gentle, growing in power. Does it distract or inform? Do you let it? I need constant reminder that I have the power. To filter. So if I payContinue reading ““listening is the light of the universe” somebody said.”

talk
The exact number escapes me. Some clever people claim that 95% of communication is non verbal. A look (even if it is masked now) A gesture A nod Volumes. So why do we so easily resort to the lowest common denominator of communication? In its lowest form. Text. Is it a search for truth? AllContinue reading “talk”
Another day
It was not a midweek getaway. It was not a summit either. We went out to get some fresh air. To feel some sun and hope. It seems to me all posts now are strong. Opinionated. The new truth. And above all defensible in the arena of populism. Today was nuance. The same views butContinue reading “Another day”
February
The year is under way and we hit the month of relationships. I used to dread February because it had THAT day in the middle with all the hype and red roses. At school I had no idea about this relationship thing. In fact I only had a real relationship until well after I finishedContinue reading “February “
Why is my first coaching session free?
The other day I had to go and see a doctor, not something that I do regularly at all. However I had to do it. In fact this was a specialist whom I had never met so understandably I was a bit apprehensive. I asked the secretary if I could speak to the Doc. DespiteContinue reading “Why is my first coaching session free?”

However come mid January every year these aspirations have often been long forgotten. Deemed unattainable. What is going on? SomeContinue reading “2018: goals, visions, dreams and dissapointments”

I help people realise their potential. I facilitate growth by helping people achieve their goals and dreams. We all have goals and dreams right? But how many of us have the tools and skills to achieve these? That is where I come in. We might even have things in our past that are holding usContinue reading “Life Coaching 101”
Broken
I remember it well. I was told I was no longer required. That she did not love me anymore. After many years. Years of being one. Now we were broken.The news hit hard. I was angry. Just like that, after years together I was cast out. I packed my bags and walked out. I sworeContinue reading “Broken”
In a garden as in life
I walked in my garden yesterday. I noticed some early spring buds pushing through. A tree grows a millimetre at a time. A leaf unfolds little by little. A great gardener trims a little here, a little there. All relative to what is in front of him. He deals with reality. Takes an action thenContinue reading “In a garden as in life”
Swimming – A case for Life Coaching
Six years ago I could not swim. Well actually I thought I could swim. To my best knowledge I could do it. ‘I certainly was not as good as those pros but I can swim’ I kept telling myself. I had learnt from my dad who had learnt in the Namibian desert. Go figure. HeContinue reading “Swimming – A case for Life Coaching”
