A few years ago, my daughter’s school was looking for donations of professional services for a school raffle, I offered some speaker coaching. I didn’t know anything about the winners other than Dad had a successful business and mum was about to launch her own. What I didn’t know was just how successful the family…
In my old garden, the soil was clay, and I’d have to put all my weight into the garden fork to crack the surface it was an effortful and frankly demoralising task. In my new garden, the soil is really soft and loamy – it is easy to dig and turn over – it takes…
We swim in an ocean of feedback – I love this quote from Thanks for the Feedback. Our watches are even telling us if we have not moved enough, drunk enough water or slept long enough! Feedback and advice are inescapable and often conflicting. How do we manage it? Tara Mohr’s advice, from her 10…

Now that we have spent some time imagining what our awesome voice sounds like – we need to take action, but not little baby steps. We need to take a bloody great running jump! We need to scare our own pants off. The thing is we are so much more capable than we give ourselves…
Tidying up my daughter’s desk I noticed her well used rubber. When we write in pencil we can simply rub out what we don’t like. We can let our perfectionism run riot across the page. Preferring neat and tidy as an end product. Not so easy when you are speaking. We have no way to…
We are looking at Tara Mohr’s 3rd Rule for Brilliant Women.
