I really didn’t want to have a clichè in the heading. But, I thought as we go into the weekend, which is generally a time to relax and reflect – try looking at your ability (or lack of) to show and practice patience. We are living in incredibly stressful times, everyone is more on the … Read morePatience is a …
We all want to be leaders. Most of you that are reading this probably are. In fact – all of you are – you see a leader is not a title or a position. It is a privilege! A mother leads her chlidern, a CEO leads a company, a Teacher leads a classroom. You get … Read moreFollow the leader
Part of human nature is that we are designed to identify, seek out and look for the negative. We can’t help it, it’s just part of our genetic code. I want to challenge you to try and look for the positive things that you’re seeing in your day. Let me give you an example. I’m … Read moreMy 4 P’s
Most people don’t see their true potential. In fact quite the opposite most people don’t see any potential.

I’m sure there’s been a few instances where over-concerned parents have had to jump … Read moreSwim or sink
You can’t push a button that’s not there to be pushed. Cliché that we hear all the time is “You really know how to push my button”! Remove the button!
