A place for everything and everything in its place
"A place for everything and everything in it's place" is a phrase I first heard in the late 90s, I had been contracted to help an organisation design and develop a staff development programme for their workforce. The phrase was one they had adopted as a way of encouraging people to keep their workplace clean and tidy.

Do you know someone who thinks that any opportunity is generally never good enough for them? Are you constantly saying to yourself "I'm not doing that!" when confronted with a potential opportunity that could open up some doors for you?
Continue reading...Integrity
5 February 2010
Integrity is something, I'm always interested in talking about, writing about or discussing. So it came as no surprise to me when I felt the urge to write a blog about the subject. I've heard a number of people speak on the subject; more recently I've been asked questions about it from blog readers, what my thoughts were on integrity.

26 January 2010
Just how aware or self aware are you? How clear are you with what you are doing? How clear are you about what's going on around you? I don't mean the simple straightforward things that happen on a daily basis; such as now I'm having my breakfast, then I'll catch the bus to work. They're the easy things to be aware of.

6 January 2010
This is the second of two posts looking at self confidence and self esteem; you can read the first one, "self confidence and self esteem (part 1)".

Self confidence and self esteem are sometimes interchanged and confused into having the same meaning; however that's not the case as there are some subtle differences. It is possible to be self confident but have a low self esteem; you only need to study the make-up of one or two actors to see this situation in action.

26 December 2009
With the festive period now in full flow, the food, presents, drink, fun and games plus any other added extras you'll be just about ready for returning to your normal daily routine. How do you feel about all the added pressure; all the extra duties at this time of year? Do you take it all in your stride or does it ruffle your feathers and make you feel uneasy, irritable and bad tempered?

24 December 2009
When things don't quite go right for you do you ever say to yourself, "why me?" If so what are the thoughts you have? Throughout the each day you'll experience what are known as automatic thoughts; thoughts that appear in your processing systems, totally unaided, as though they have a right to be there.

10 December 2009
Self confidence is something we all seek and to have it in great abundance; some people are more successful than others and some manage it, seemingly without too much effort. So why the discrepancies when we are all basically come from the same mould.

15 November 2009
We all possess an abundance of yet untapped skills that are waiting to be exercised. These are skills we have learnt and developed over time without realising it and written them off, without so much as a second thought. Then we proclaim we are short of money; we can't afford this . . . and we can't afford that . . .

14 November 2009
As you go about your daily routines a number of different thoughts will pass through your mind; some will affect you more than others.

With much of the media hype focusing on our appearance and how we look on the outside we very often forget our own feelings and what really is happening on the inside. In the constant strive to achieve the 'ideal' physical shape and perfect body, messages from the media, are conveniently forgetting to remind us about our own inner self and the feelings we carry round with us on a daily basis.

8 November 2009

1 November 2009
The value you bring into your environment, the life you live and the people you meet each day is measured and assessed from two different perspectives; the first one being yours and the second being from the people you meet and come into contact with.
