In the last six months I have received two distinguished awards for my own leadership. I was completely surprised both times and each time I was surprised by the impact they each had on me, emotionally but also energetically. I felt a deep sense of gratitude for myself the first time - Silver for Leader Of The Year from Women Changing The World - as if in one deep emotion that filled my heart sat all that I had done in my life in service to others, the energy I had given thes

Your thoughts are like a live-stream, you are criticising what you just thought, you are feeling off-balance and you are about to yell in frustration. Sound familiar? What do you want instead? A clear mind, a calm heart, a good decision, and an effective next action would probably be your choice, if you are anything like me or the many people I have coached. In this scenario, or any stressful moment, you are battling your three voices. What are they...? 1. The babbling voi

Listening to world women speakers at the Women Economic Forum last year it struck me that leadership is too general as a term.

How do you find your way into your wisdom amidst the noise of distracting, superficial thought and information? Why would you try...? Maybe we know we are missing out on something far more expansive, visionary and world-changing. Maybe the answers are simple - too simple for us to be interested. Maybe we could find not only truth but happiness as well. How would your world change if you knew that success is right in the palm of your hand when you stop right where you are an

Listening to world women speakers at the Women Economic Forum last year. Replace the word 'leadership' with 'influence' and you get to the real definition. So let's start talking about 'women in influencing roles' rather than leadership roles. Leadership is influence.... A common theme recently with leaders has been, 'How do I know it's not just my ego?' Their passion is pulled back and held at the edge of powerful release into full expression of true self as their purposef

Someone asked, 'What is "consciousness"?' The dictionary says quite simply 'awareness'. Plato says, 'Awareness of awareness.' When you are aware of being aware you are in touch with your pure authentic Self who is always the witness of your existence, physical and eternal. Practice being aware of when you are aware. What is your experience? How do you coach 'consciousness'? We want to live our best, using all the 'feminine' soft skills we have developed as expressions of ou
