The Purpose Of Doom And Gloom

I’ve had a curious experience this week that I wanted to share. It was all the more surprising as I’d just spent some deeply happy days unplugging and enjoying the successes of the first half of the year. And back at work, I’d confidently set my second half year targets: run 3 Worklife Makeover workshops;…

A Month of Birthdays

Believe it or not, this blog is a year old this month. And it was my birthday yesterday. As you read this, I’m easing back for a few days, basking in my gratitude for this last amazing year. Join me in a slice of virtual birthday cake and indulge me as I share with you…

The Worklife Makeover Review

I ran my first The Worklife Makeover workshop last Friday. Sure, I’ve run workshops before, but it was the first time I’d done so under A Different Kind of Work’s banner. I loved every minute of it, which at a level would have been success enough. But, as it happens, the workshop was successful on…

The Opportunity In The Silence

Photo credit: Steven Durbin Photography If there’s one word I’ve heard clients use a lot recently, it’s the word reality. It has come up as they’ve talked about what’s happening in their businesses right now. Because some of them are once more finding their pipelines to be a little short on flow. After a few…

Who Else Wants A Free Worklife Makeover?

If you’re feeling now would be a good time to take a few hours off of the hamster wheel and review how work and life are stacking up, you’ve landed on just the right blog page today. On the 18th of June in Central London I’m doing a pilot of The Worklife Makeover, ahead of…

Don’t Change Your Job – Change Your Mind

My friend – let’s call him Frank – was looking pretty despondent when I met him for coffee late last week. Slouched in his chair and completely absorbed by his BlackBerry, he was a shadow of the shit hot Business Consultant I knew him to be. He’d told me that he didn’t have long, so…

Here’s how not to differentiate yourself as a coach

As someone who has been coaching for around fifteen years, I often peer-coach, supervise or mentor other coaches. It’s a role that allows me a small part in shaping good practice in what is an exciting, fast-growing profession. I love supporting people who are hungry to learn about themselves as practitioners and to watch them…

The Birth of a New Work Pioneer

I was asked earlier this week about what it was I actually did, and who I did it for. Not being a natural marketer, I don’t have off-pat answers for these questions. So, in an attempt to articulate them for myself, I began to write a story. Only half way through drafting, did it hit…

10+1 steps to make coaching work for you

I spent some time this weekend revamping my coaching page. It made me think that it’s all very well for me to write about what coaching is from my perspective. But if you’re someone who’s forking out for coaching, how do you make sure that it does what it says on the tin? Make sure…

Work detox: 5 coaching questions that’ll change your life

I was running on Wimbledon Common this morning and noticed that the personal trainers were out in force. It’s amazing how many people, realising that their beachwear is going to look better without the bodily overhang that’s developed during the winter, embark on a bikini programme round about now. Whether or not this is true…
