So many conversations linger on the hindsight of missed opportunities. What if the opportunity isn’t missed if we do something about it now? This blog considers if missed opportunities are really a recurring pattern of missing opportunities and, if so, what is the underlying opportunity still available for us to seize?

How does a focus on answers and goals limit us? What if we focused more on questions and ideas?

This blog explores what our stories about our experiences say about how we see ourselves and the world and what they make possible or impossible for us. One story that is almost always possible to read into experiences is that ‘I am not good enough’. That is only one story.

What is behind what we want and how can we bring those qualities into our lives more regardless of the outcomes we are working towards? This blog explores what the qualities are behind the things we want and asks if there are ways we can create more of those qualities without them only being the bi-product of outcomes.

This blog explores how we may face the unknown. How can we reframe the ‘what ifs’ that stop us starting because we worry we may not be able to complete the thing we want to do. Sometimes the only way to learn to do it is to do it and then it is a matter of how we go about it.

A crouton is often not the intended outcome for a loaf of bread.

This blog asks what the impact of finding something to be deleted would be for us. What would we miss? What would we be grateful for? What would we be inspired to finish knowing it could be deleted? In exploring this it asks what do we want to choose to let go of, what do we want to appreciate more and what do we want to finish rather than see deleted?

What are the different roles we play and what does it look like to play them to our strengths? This blog, using the analogy of wearing multiple hats explores what hats we are wearing, what hats do we want to wear and what it looks like to wear those hats in a way that best suits us.

What is the gift we may not know until we share our work? Be that an idea, a thought or a project we’re working on, this blog explores how it may only be in the act of sharing it that we realise the gift it is, for us or for others. Therefore, this blog asks, if we knew that only in sharing our work may we realise the gift it is, what would we share?
