It could be both fun & practical for this period. Fun: How would I react to this change when I declutter? Practical: C’mon, is it about time to break the pattern during this period of havoc?

Keep showing up

For more than 8 weeks in a row, I had 2 to 3 discovery calls every week. What a personal record! To many experienced coaches, the number is nothing to write home about. Making that comparison does not help me to grow, it only increases the self-doubt. …

A momentary inventory check on the precious things in life. Watching the sunset, pause then take a deep breath. Feel my feet and watch friends around the dinner chatting away. Enjoy an afternoon tea time with my mum, my sister and my 2 aunts. Given time & space to help…
