Wise Wednesdays

Taking a leap is a matter of timing. Many of my clients stay within their careers, carving paths to create more freedom and impact in their current role or a new one. But for some, liberated success means stepping into an entirely new way of living and working—often launching their own coaching or consulting practice to address our pressing global challenges in health and climate change. For Ginger, the time had come.  After nearly 20 years in a Fortune 100 company, she was ready to step out of a relentless, high-pressure environment. So we worked together to release limiting beliefs, redefine success, and align with a new vision. Listen to our conversation to hear how she broke free of the success trap and chose a new path. You’ll hear her experience navigating the change including: Breaking free from the Success Trap  – Why she turned down big titles and big money to create a life on her own terms. Overcoming the fear of judgment  – How she stopped worrying about what o...

Are you feeling a little hazy about the future and what your career and life might look like? The recent Winter Revelations sessions confirmed a truth many are feeling: in today’s BANI world (Brittle, Anxiety-inducing, Non-linear, Incomprehensible), rigid goals, plans and strategies no longer serve us. Life and work today are more like a centerless circle than a linear path. It’s like solving a complex equation—unnerving but ultimately more satisfying. Your career, like an elegant geometry, aligns your unique gifts with a universal design, guided by a vision within and practical action. Here’s is my current career and business geometry and 12 questions to help you uncover yours. It’s based on the Buddhist Middle Way - avoiding extremes and discovering the path forward as it emerges. [Four dimensions]: You:  Do you remember who you are (beyond identity and titles) and revel in its quiet beauty? Your sphere of influence:  Are you clear on what’s within your control and what isn’...

The festive lights have come down, the Christmas jumpers are back in the cupboard, and the resolutions are written—or maybe not. It’s January, a time of fresh starts, but also of sluggish mornings and a faint longing for the cosy ease of the holidays. January has a rhythm of its own—a jangling mix of energies. On one hand, there’s the promise of a new year and the pull of big possibilities. On the other, there’s the reality of shorter days, winter’s chill, and the remnants of holiday indulgence still in our bones (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere). It’s the month of dissonance: we want to leap forward, but winter whispers, “Rest.” We’re ready to take off, but it still feels like hibernation season. This friction is the January Jangles —a noisy, unsettled space between where we’ve been and where we want to go. But maybe the January jangles aren’t something to fight, they’re something to notice with curiosity and awareness. In a world that often feels like it’s escalating into ...

 Wishing you a happy 2025,  - may it be filled with freedom, impact, and fulfilment in every way. As we transition into the new year, why not take 5 minutes for a simple ritual? Whether you’re reflecting alone or sharing with others, it’s a grounding way to mark the shift. Take a deep breath and relax. Then name: • One thing you’re proud of from 2024. • One thing you’re letting go of from 2024. • One thing you’re embracing in 2025. (Bonus: Use an object to represent each. For what you’re letting go of, choose something that can be destroyed or recycled—like a box or crumpled paper to symbolise self-doubt.) It's a simple but effective transition process we used this month at The Sanctuary - a space where we dance with change. Thank you for being part of my community—it means so much. I’m currently on a meditation retreat as the year begins (this message is scheduled), and I look forward to reconnecting for new career and life transformation journeys! Til' soon,  ...
