“The energy of presence can be developed, understood and enhanced... and can be destroyed by our learned habits. Presence is your natural state.”
Patsy Rodenburg

I love that there are special signs for coaches 😁👍🏼 My coaching journey began in 2001 when the book: The Celestine Prophecy raised my awareness that “coincidences are the signposts to your true path”.
As our beliefs are nothing more that thoughts that we choose to assign meaning to, I decided to accept this one and started to notice coincidences, synchronicities and anomolies and pay attention to what meaning lay there for me. It makes life interesting, fun and less predict...able than it would otherwise be 😉
Funnily enough, I did not follow this sign when I arrived in London last night. Instead I struggled to find my hotel using a combination of google maps and my navigation app - except the signal was so weak that the arrow on my maps didn’t change as I walked! When I came out of my hotel this morning, turning left to walk the 500 yards to the tube station (that I had totally missed last night as I wandered up and down many streets with my nose in my phone waiting for a sign to give me direction), I suddenly realised that the Coach Station (indicated on the sign below) was right next door to my hotel. Lesson learned!

So proud of our team today - we had a fabulous day at the Mindful Living Show in London and Alister blew us away with his inspiring and engaging talk.

Amazing talk by Alister Gray today at the Mindful Living Show, London. All about intelligence and insight and whether the two can coexist.

Guess where we are? Alister Gray is speaking at the Mindful Living Show today so Raymy Boyle, Ilaria and I are hosting a stand. Let the show begin 😁👍🏼

Looking forward to the Mindful Living Show 2019 in London this weekend with Ilaria Christina Nardini-Gray and Alister Gray and Raymy Boyle - if you’re coming along - remember to say hello 😀🙌🏼

Having prepared for a talk on Neuroleadership I'm doing in St Andrews University tomorrow, I decided to do a brief Google search to see how much the stats had changed since I last presented on this topic - I was tickled when my own interview with the ILM Edge Managazing popped up!!

Just 2 more days before Edinburgh gets a chance to hear the stories of how some amazing coaches experienced transformation - both their own and others’ - through their journeys into coaching.
Come along to the Eric Liddell Centre in Morningside on Tuesday evening to be inspired!!!

What an absolutely amazing morning!!!
Whoever said that we can’t have truly emotional engagement through the medium of online training should have attended a very genuine and heartfelt graduation ceremony this morning!
The Mindful Talent Academy have just completed working with another cohort of Trusted Coaches and on this mornings call, each of them shared openly and passionately about their own transformation and their vision for making a real difference in the world.
... What I love most about this final day of training is that I know they mean it and I know that our training programme has introduced each one of our coaches to a fantastic skillset, methodology, tool kit and coaching network to make it happen.
They have reached the edge and now it’s time to fly.

There is a great depth and discipline to the Acorn metaphor. It is an open heart approach to coaching if you use it well. Curiously it works well with the theory u stuff.
