Never Stop Asking Questions
I attended a career meeting at my daughter’s senior school, which was organised so they could explain her options when it comes to choosing courses and sitting exams and how the school would work together with her. There must have been over 400 parents attending, and I was sat right at the front. Because of […]
Life is easier when you’ve lost everything
I got an email the other day from a gentleman in his early 40s. He’d been working for the same firm fitting double glazing since leaving college at 18. While at college he studied an introductory course in architecture, which was something he really enjoyed. During his 20s he took several part-time courses which included […]
Change Your Language, Change Your World.
I think it is quite well known that thinking a certain way leads to becoming a certain type of person. This is essentially true for both positive and negative thinkers. We tend to attract very like-minded people or we subtly change to end up like the people we spend most time with. So we know […]

The Radical Permission to Create Rubbish
There’s an intoxicating allure to the notion of genius — this idea that a great writer wakes up, rolls out of bed, and effortlessly composes a masterpiece. It’s a myth many of us buy into, and it’s utterly paralysing. But what if the secret sauce to creativity isn’t genius but permission? Permission, not just to […]
How to Solve Tomorrow’s Problems
Very inspiring video, it reminds me of the old quote “if you give a man a fish you will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry”. Although there are many variations of this saying the essence is very true, too many people think giving today will solve […]
Imagine a World of Peace – Alternate Headlines
It shows headlines of people that made a difference while they were alive and arguably even more of a difference after their deaths. Imagine what more they could have achieved if they weren’t taken so soon. The headlines are alternative ones, the kind that might have happened. Martin Luther King Jr. aged 84, Champions Immigration […]
