Reflections on Haiti

A few months ago, after an entire day of time wasting, I was about to delete my Facebook account. Twitter had been binned already, and as I searched for the ‘delete account’ tab, the status of a female friend caught my attention: “Thinking of Haiti tonight and grateful for simple pleasures in beautiful Vancouver.” Haiti?

Juggling Hand Grenades

I recently spent a week in Pembrokshire, West Wales, in a cottage that was accessed by a two-mile dirt track and had no electricity or phone service. The inhabitants consisted of myself, an assistant who was breaking a rather long and heavy dependency upon Marijuana use, and a very good friend who had been distant [...]

Welcome to my site!

Things are changing as fast in our organization as they are in the rest of the world.

I've coached people in one shape or form now for over ten years; starting with climbing and moving in the latter half to Neuro Linguistic Programming and performance coaching with individuals and businesses from across the globe.

And now, due to my current work load and commitment to working in Haiti, I am taking on very few new personal clients.

Much of my future work will be focused on training businesses and running certification courses in NLP, whilst also spending as many months as possible in Haiti, working on the ground with those who need it most.

My blog will also reflect this new shift in direction and I hope it continues to offer insights to as many people as it previously has this last year.

Be aware of the fresh winds out there... you never know when a gust might blow you on to an entirely new course.

Change is ever here, ever constant. Is it time to for you to embrace it?

Saying it like it is

I rarely look up to people (I’m not being literal here, though I’m 6ft 5) in the way that i do with Jamie Oliver. It seems to me that below the laddish, cockney veneer lays a man who cares passionately enough about his subject to put his neck on the line and to say it [...]

Life is a dance or nothing at all.

Never fall in love with safety!

There’s snow excuse!

If you live here in the UK, you will know just how bad the weather has been for the last week. Snow, blizzards, icy roads, we’ve had it all, and as I write this, the weather-man is saying that the worse is yet to come. It’s just as well we don’t shoot the messengers any [...]

Thankfully it’s all over!

Thankfully it’s all over! Christmas and New Year that is. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it. Like my friend Sophie says, “ what is there not to enjoy? You get to eat what you want, watch movies, drink unacceptable amounts of alcohol and share presents. All from the sofa!”
