I teach. That's what I am trained to do. But is that all there is? Is that all teachers do, impart knowledge? Well, no it isn't. We do so much more, but we are simply paid to teach. I'm not going to wax lyrical about the horrors of the profession. Others have done so … Continue reading Psycho-Social Education – Forget Numbers

Busy Lives
It's been a long time since I've put fingertip to keyboard for the whole blog thing. (WordPress just told me it's been 126 days.. Yikes. Ed.) I keep meaning to, but I've been way too busy. Well not really. When I coach people who tell me they are way too busy to make a positive … Continue reading Busy Lives
The Power of Power
My favourite comic when I was younger (ahem, a couple of years ago... Ed) was Spider-Man. I was, and still am, a big fan of his. The reason I liked him so much was he reminded me a lot of myself. I was a cocky little bastard growing up and often bit off more than … Continue reading The Power of Power

Wings of Change
Change can be very traumatic. It can be a grieving process, where we mourn the loss of an old way of life, for which we know of no other alternative. Even when we are excited about something changing in our lives, marriage, children or buying a house, that excitment is tinged with apprehension and anxiety. … Continue reading Wings of Change
The Yellow Brick Road
Since I recently wrote about limiting beliefs and the Wizard of Oz, I thought it appropriate to extend the metaphor a tad and talk about why the Yellow Brick Road is so important. Not that I've ever seen or walked on a road that is literally yellow myself, or believe there is a likelihood that you … Continue reading The Yellow Brick Road
The Edge of Being
Many of us wear lead boots. We drag our feet through life and every step is a burden. As we look around, when we can lift our eyes from our heavy steps, we often wonder, ‘How did I get here?’. At these points we may begin to realise that this is an endless, unforgiving road … Continue reading The Edge of Being
