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.

Why not spend time developing our staying power? Well maybe because we believe the short cuts we are sold. If only weContinue reading “Insert catchy title here”
Mentors
Thanks Rosemary for posting this on twitter. And thanks Linda for posting. Running is a great leveler. We are stripped down to our takkies and running shorts and we are all equal. We start at the start line of a race and we are all one. Even after the gun goes off we are equal.Continue reading “Mentors”

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”
