It certainly appears so. There definitely seems to be some magic in the air with this guy's 5th consecutive win at Wimbledon. And yup, I stayed up past 3:30am Aussie time to watch him do it. It was totally worth it. He's in tune with the \"secret\", law of attraction, and here's how he does ...
It's not about ballet! \ Though the technique is as simple and elegant as a turn on pointes. \ Pivoting is the practise of shifting focus so you are aligned with your intentions, rather than with what you don't want. \ How does it work? Here's an example. \ Last week I was grumbling about not ...
What are you hanging on to? For years my Dad told this story about his neighbour who stole his toy lawnmower and got away with it! Forty years later he was still indignant about the unfairness of it, how cheated he felt, the resentment he had about his mother who did not believe him and clipped him about the ears for b
I've been listening to the Abraham-Hicks's 'Money and the Law of Attraction' CDs. One of the significant threads of advice is 'start telling a new story'. \ We create our lives from the stories we tell about past, future, and present events. The stories evoke emotion – a vibrational beacon – that draws the es
“I feel like giving up. Throwing in the towel. This business thing is really, really hard.” \ Large pregnant pause. You could feel the silence building like the prelude to a hurricane. \ My coach said, “If you treated your husband like you treat your business – always pulling the rug out, throwing you
Do you want more from yourself? Do you want more from your life? And are you ready for it? Chances are you do want more.

Up in the hills after a long day of walking, my feet hurt. A lot. Not the usual blister hurt, but a throbbing soreness that pressed against the balls of both my feet. Were my boots wrong?

Ever got stuck mulling a problem over and over and over? And then tarted thinking about it again only to get stuck all over again? \ Yup - been there, done that! \ It's not that there is no solution, but you need to change the way you are thinking, how you are focusing.

Many of my clients share their deepest dreams that they have shelved and buried deep. \ I always ask, "hmmm..why?" \ The answers is inevitably, "because..." \ Because the kids need new shoes and and braces. \ Because my mortgage is still over $200,000. \ Because I need to provide a home and
I've been immersed in the Sedona method's "Keep It Simple Sweetheart" Process for the last few weeks. I was asked to review the product. I get asked to review a lot of products and say 'no' a lot too. But Steve Seretan persisted and so I agreed to take a look. I'm glad I did.
What I find at first with clients is that they are often living by default -reacting to events, rather than responding to them. It's no wonder that they feel so helpless - buffeted by a torrent of emotions. \ It's so easy to get sucked in by a tide of feelings. Your girlfriend rings you up for a ...
The question addresses two things: Should women lead differently to what they are currently doing? And, do women do leadership differently to men? \ Let's start with the gender one as it's a nice, juicy topic. Do women do leadership differently to men? \ Instinctively women operate differently ...
That's what is written on my new Holosync meditation CDs. How cool is that? What a terrific positive affirming message. I felt all warm and googly inside. \ But what the heck does that actually mean? \ What's wrong with the old me? \ Actually, nothing. \ The old me worked just fine. It got me alive

When my client asked me what I see as mistakes that people make in leadership roles, one example jumped to the fore - 'Sally'. Observing Sally is like watching a train smash in slow motion.

I had the privilege of having dinner with Tim Kirk, owner of Clonakilla wines. \ For those who have tasted it, you know that there is something incredibly magic about his wine. My first sip was like drinking silk. It's no wonder that his wines are such a massive success. Who would believe it - a little winery jus
Getting what you want involves being deliberate and focused with your intentions. You get clear, you get excited, you take inspired action, and things manifest. \ And then sometimes life whacks you with a wet fish that knocks you flat. \ Like how I was busy and enthralled with my work at Inner Compass, the A
I am a huge fan of Tudor England. Who knew a bunch of stinky, violent, and paranoid 500 year old wanna-be royals could be so compelling? And yet they hold a secret for manifestation and leadership. \ It's in the rawness of the stories we find some fundamental truths. \ King Henry VIII divorced his first wife
I confess - I am no good at receiving compliments. I've trained myself to say 'thanks' instead of 'it's nothing' but I'm still usually in shock. Love my article?

My colleague Agi asked me recently, "so what have you learned from cancer?" \ I replied, "I always thought it was about stress - cancer was a lesson on how to avoid stress."

Ghandhi said, 'be the change you want to see in the world'. Ok Ghandhi, sounds good. But what the heck do you really mean? And am I really up to it, on a Friday, at the end of a long week, with the weekend and holiday season inching close? Do we all have it in us to be Ghandhi? To care selflessly for our
When they called Roger Federer to the podium to receive his runner's up trophy, he broke down in tears and was unable to complete his speech. Even when he had a second attempt, the tears just kept flowing. \ So why is it that one of tennis' great champions - perhaps the best ever in this era - ...

Have you got a to-do list? Or maybe five of them? (one for work, one for home, one for projects, that pile of mail, all those emails...) \ As leaders we can get very bogged down in crap that sucks our energy and time, before we ever do anything meaningful. So here is my quick list for you to create (and follow) p
In Bruce Lipton's The Biology of Belief, he explains the importance of environments in personal growth - both on a cellular level, and on a whole-being level. \ Lipton's research shows that it is the cell's membrane that is actually responsible for decisions in a cell's life, not the nucleus.

How do I get what I REALLY want? This process works for any situation - whether you are leading a team, going for a promotion, want some more cash in your pocket or want to find a man (that's how I found Rob!) Step 1. Decide. It's a 'burn all bridges' kind of decision. This means you are taking action as you ar
Leading can be difficult and painful – hence the notion of 'crucible' experiences: an event that was challenging or even harrowing acts as a transformational experience, much like a crucible provides a container for huge temperatures that initiate a re-structure of its contents. \ Leaders too can act as crucibl
I have a neighbour who is building a garden which is a monument to bad taste on the public nature strip. \ Every time I see it, I cringe. \ However, as I reflected on my own strong and harsh judgments of this man's project (and obvious heart-felt passion and hobby), I thought about how we judge ...
\"I'm too fat. My thighs jiggle. My belly wobbles. My butt's enormous.\" Too fat, too thin, too short, too tall, boobs too big, boobs not big enough. \ Sound familiar?

Worried about your kids? Work? Health? Money? \ Worried about worrying? \ We all know that you get what you think and feel about the most, so if you're worrying, you're creating all sorts of havoc with your feel-good intentions. \ And if you're leading a team, a family, an organisation, or a committee,
My friend and colleague Sharon Tierman, aka Madame Marketing, has a favourite expression, "The higher you go on the ladder, the more your butt hangs out." \ Though it's not the best visual picture, it's a pretty apt way of looking at what happens when you put yourself out on the line - when you stand up for you
If only he'd completed his training and learned how to manage his emotions better! Make sure you learn the real secret and stay away from the Dark Side. \ I admit it, I'm a self-confessed Star Wars geek/fan.

1. Identify your desires. Most of us know already what it is we don't want. We don't want to be poor, sick, or unhappy. Unfortunately many people cannot identify what it is they truly desire. As a result, they tend to get more of what they don't want because this is where their energy and ...

Fighting cancer is not the best way to heal. Think about it: if you've got a broken ankle do you try to force it to mend? If you've got a cold, do you fight it into submission? If you've got diarrhea to you challenge it to a duel? Healing occurs in a restful, peaceful state. 'Fighting' isn't so peaceful.
As an instructor at Outward Bound, I belayed people backwards over cliff edges so they could abseil down a rock face. The usual response of participants is fear, ranging from mild excitement to shaking terror. \ The hardest part of the experience is right on the edge when you have to hang your ...
I read in the Good Vibe University recently that when you pray for courage, what the Universe gives you is a situation where you get the opportunity to be courageous.

Here's the thing: we're all way too attached to manifesting stuff. \ We get tripped up all the time! We think it's the lover, the car, the job, the money, the hot sexy bod that is going to give us that feeling of joy and excitement. \ It's not any of those things.

I'm never short of an opinion. My colleague remarked that I was unusually forthright in board meetings, disagreeing with the chair openly on several occasions.

"It's what I am here to do!" she blurted and tears gushed forth. \ This was 'Sarah', a client sharing a moment of acknowledgment that she finally knew what she wanted to do with her life.
