The 'Well Wishing' Principle
“Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own." - Harold Coffin Living in London I get to travel on public transport A LOT, and for someone in my line of work that provides a fabulous opportunity to observe the quirkiness of human nature in action. It is never my intention to deliberately earwig on other people’s conversations, but sometimes when you’re on a packed tube (with a stray armpit in your face) it is pretty hard not to!

Radical Self-Honesty (and Unconscious Commitments)
"It is discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit." - Noel Coward The inspiration for this tip came after I had the great fortune to find out about the work of Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks. Together they run The Hendricks Institute, a hugely successful learning centre that teaches core skills for conscious living.

Peace of Mind for Exceptionally Busy People
"Do not confuse peace of mind with spaced-out insensitivity. A truly peaceful mind is very sensitive, very aware." - Tenzin Gyatso (14th Dalai Lama) The busier more and more chaotic our lives get the more likely we are to let our unconscious mind do all our thinking for us. This, in turn, increases the likelihood that we will experience an ‘outside-in’ version of the world, i.e. we mistakenly believe that it is what is happening to us on the outside that is responsible for how we feel on the inside.

The Beauty of Life
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucius They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is a notion that has always intrigued me greatly. We all have moments, every so often, in which we ponder deep philosophical questions, like, ‘What is the meaning of life?’ or ‘Does a falling tree make any sound if there is no one there to hear it?’ While we can go round and round in our heads never really getting to the bottom of these issues, it’s still interesting and fun just to investigate the riddle.

How To Get Yourself Motivated
There is one type request that I get more than any other and that is to provide strategies for generating and maintaining motivation, some people call this ‘self-discipline’. It’s actually not that common for people to ask me for step-by-step instructions on what they need do to get a task completed. You see, most often people already know what they need to do to achieve a particular goal.

How to Do Optimism
“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean When I was a kid I would imagine that I could make things happen just by thinking about them. For example, if my best friend was coming over to play I’d look out for him from my bedroom window and try to control the exact moment he would come cycling around the corner into my road (I was an odd child!). I would close my eyes, count to ten and then open them again, expecting to see him arriving right on cue.

The Ultimate Time Management Principle
"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” - Johann Wolfgang Goethe We all have the same 24 hours in everyday, and the difference that makes the difference for each of us is how we choose to fill them.

The Freedom Formula
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way" Victor Frankl One of the things I love most about coaching others is when they really get that creating more of what they want in their lives doesn’t have to be complicated.

Having Hindsight Ahead of Time
There seems to be an unwritten rule that states if you are going to be taken seriously in the field of personal development as a therapist, coach or trainer, then you have to have been completely screwed up at least once in your life! Well, I’m not convinced that this is absolutely necessary but, to be on the safe, you might be glad to know that, yes, life hasn’t always been as rosy for me as it is right now.

Writing Yourself Happy
“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” - E. L. Doctorow I have written and spoken many times about strategies for creating authentic happiness, and the recurring theme has always been “Happiness is not something you can pursue; it is who you are”.

The Art of Having a Bad Day
A lot of personal development teachers and motivational guru’s like to drill home that the key to success is ‘State Management’, i.e. your ability to manipulate your physical and emotional being so that you are constantly aligned with success producing thoughts and actions.

Improving Friendships - The Key To Strengthening Relationship Bonds
I’ve just arrived back from America where I was attending the wedding of a very good friend, and because I was the Best Man I had to give a speech. Now, I’m used to public speaking and facilitating large groups of people in my personal development workshops, so you might be thinking this was a doddle for me.
