In conversation with Gill Donnell
I have real pleasure in introducing someone I’ve long admired and who has long been committed to empowering women in the workplace, much as I do with their health and well-being. Gill Donnell is the founder of the Successful Women In Business Network (otherwise known as the SWIB Tribe), and I’m fortunate enough to be a member in the Weymouth group.
We covered many topics during our conversation ranging from overcoming imposter syndrome, which seems to affect women more than men; right through to the unequal impact that coronavirus is having on women especially those who run their own business.
These women now f...

The art of listening 3 ways
I listened to a conversation that took place between Liz Scott and Dicken Bettinger last week about the art of listening deeply and it was truly insightful. Dicken spoke about the way most of us who have been trained in the ‘listening arts’ most of the time can ignore what the other person is saying as we tend to spend time listening for ‘cues’ or for what we’re going to say next.
And it reminded me of the deep listening I was introduced to when I trained to become a psychospiritual counsellor which involves listening heart to heart for the messages your co-conversationalist is sharing beyond ...

I listened to a conversation that took place between Liz Scott and Dicken Bettinger last week about the art of listening deeply and it was truly insightful. Dicken spoke about the way most of us who have been trained in the ‘listening arts’ being something that actually ignores the other person most of the time as we listen for ‘cues’ or for what we’re going to say.
And it reminded me of the deep listening I was introduced to when I trained to become a psychospiritual counsellor and it involves listening heart to heart for the message your co-conversationalist is having beyond the words.

In conversation with Martha Gabler
This week, I’m in conversation with Martha Gabler, who originally joined me on the Thursday Throng in October 2013 with her book about autism titled, Chaos to Calm: discovering solutions to the everyday problems of living with autism.
Martha’s son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 and as a result she spent many years trying to find a way of managing family life with a severely non-verbal child. She came across the TAG (teaching with acoustical guidance) teach methodology as a positive reinforcement way of dealing a child who has language and other behavioural challenges. It transformed her life, her son...

The coaster of thought
I’m guilty m’lud of taking the world around me for granted. I look at the wonders of creation and barely give them a second thought. Of course that tree is growing, my dog wants me to pat him, a friend says hello. All of these things feel commonplace, ordinary, unexceptional. But, when I stopped ‘looking’ and started ‘seeing’, I realised that they are none of these things.
Let me take a step back a moment and begin at the beginning where all the best stories start and ask you a question too. Do you really ‘see’ or think about the world around you and why things are the way th...

In conversation with Tom Evans
This week, I’m in conversation with someone who has been described as being as close to a real-life wizard as you can get, the author of 16 books, Tom Evans.
Tom first joined me on the Thursday Throng in 2013 with his book, This We Know. This book is very close to my heart as it asks two fundamental questions that have intrigued me for many decades: what do we know, and what don’t we know. In this interivew we talked about the assumptions people make about others and themselves.
This We Know was his first book where he wrote what he thought, rather than what other people think. Tom, like me, is fascinated by co...

Seeing through the illusion of illness
I realise the title of this post is likely to raise a few eyebrows at the very least, and perhaps it will even cause some to say ‘illness, an illusion? I think not!’ in some indignation so I’d ask you to hold off on a reaction while I put the statement into context.
A few posts ago I wrote about the first of the things I know to be true, that we are all walking miracles. In that post I shared how I’ve found that taking a little time out of my busy thinking allows me to settle into a space where I know what I need to do in order to be as healthy as I can be. My body is a walking miracle; it stitches,...
