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”
Insert catchy title here
I recently read this article by James Clear. So if success is linked to grit then why do we spend all this time wanting to find our passion? Why not develop our grit? 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”
Questions
Some of us have seen this article before. Either way it is worth paying attention to again. What it illustrates is that we make assumptions all the time. We are wired that way. Our brain creates gaps in perception to free up space. We don’t notice the blanks because we fill them in. The problemContinue reading “Questions”
STFD
Unlike HTFU the above acronym does not have its own line of clothing, incorporated into The Rules or being throw about on your average coffee ride. You won’t even find it on Google. Meanwhile every magazine cover has their version of the “12 weeks to your best Ironman”. Completely unrealistic time lines and gradients toContinue reading “STFD”

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”
Wendy
You sat in the middle of the room. Surrounded by people. A guru to us all. Many considered you a dear friend. Wrapped in your blanket on this sunny day. There were too many. I stood outside. I felt something was wrong. Only got to touch your shoulder as you sat there princess like. AllContinue reading “Wendy”
Hohenhort 15km
I recognised the anxiety straight away The nervousness. The slight hurry in everybody’s step. The frantic darting looks for the loo. The anticipation. I was surprised to find them so strong, so overwhelming and I had not missed them in two years. Sunday morning I stood at the start of the Hohenhort 15km road race.Continue reading “Hohenhort 15km”
