I’m one of those people who just chugs along through life: Not one to go searching for a deep and meaningful purpose, or constantly questioning my values. But that doesn’t mean I don’t pay attention to what’s going on around me, and being alert to the subtle messages that come my way. I think it’s...
Deckhive allows you to use a wide range of virtual card decks to explore topics and facilitate group sessions on line. Different decks serve different purposes and can be very useful for one-to-one coaching session as well as the more traditional training workshop. A great way to start discussions, explore feelings or just provide a...
I admit it. I was late to the Line of Duty party – but better late than never! We devoured 6 series in 6 weeks and now we’re having to adjust to life without Steve, Kate and Ted. It was an intelligent and engaging programme, but there were times when I felt a little lost....
Recently, we enjoyed watch the BBCs version of Around the World in 80 days starring David Tennant. We watched it on iplayer and started a couple of weeks after it had started on TV. But we almost didn’t, because of some of the really negative reviews. But I’m rather a fan of David Tennant, so...
My son is a keen badminton player and he works hard at it. Here he is practicing the same shot 100 times, so that when he needs to make that shot in a match, it will be instinctive and he’s more likely to get it right. It’s not that others who HAVEN’T practiced that shot...
NOT the kind you might expect as we increasingly work cross-culturally, but within our native tongue! I confess, I’m on a rather steep learning path right now. I’m part-way through a course (though I use the term loosely) to learn a lot more about marketing, conversions, data, analytics and automation. It’s something I need to...
At the moment, I'm watching the Beatles documentary/film "Get Back". I fell in love with the Beatles in the 80s when I was about 15 - and they are probably the reason I ended up married to my husband! But the most fascinating thing is seeing the birth of so many iconic songs, and the...
Yesterday I played hookey (in the morning anyway!). Despite having a massive to-do list at the busiest time of the year, I went off for a ski lesson at the Chill Factore in Manchester. I almost cancelled it but I didn't. And I'm glad. Having to concentrate on ski-ing for 2 hours (having not been...
Did you know that there are 2 D's in Training Design? If you ever find that your training isn't consistent, or you spend way too long prepping. or other facilitators don't run it the way you intended, or you struggle to translate it from face to face to virtual (or vice versa), you have probably...
We all recognise the importance of staying fit and healthy. Many people engage personal trainers to help them to do this – ESPECIALLY if they have a specific goal to aim for: running a half-marathon, completing a triathlon, losing a certain amount of weight. Working one-to-one with someone helps to keep you motivated, makes you...
