Thank you Crete 🧘‍♂️😎❤️

Yoga studio nestled in the Olive groves, sea view from my balcony, a warm sea (no seaweed or sharks!), Greek salad you cannot get enough of and a bit of culture in Chania en route home.

A wonderful week and debut to the Greek Islands. Am hungry to discover them all, one by one 😊

Be a voice not an echo.

I found this quote on an old notebook from my coach training days. And it spurred me on to put finger tips to keyboard.

I've been a bit quiet on social media and the blog space the last couple of years. For several reasons. My creativity dried up and my confidence took a knock (redundancy). My energy was suddenly limited and got zapped into unexpected life events (moving an elderly parent into a home, kitchen renovation project which dragged on) and job hunting.

Sometimes we can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond.

I went into hibernation. Turned up the self care. And stood still.

Sometimes you have to press pause, if only to figure out where next to go.

A friend reminded me that when you press the pause button on a machine, it stops. But when you press the pause button on human beings, they start.

I'm ready to start again. ✅

I'm not sure what this looks like yet, but the wheels are turning. 😀

In the meantime, I'm focused on being my best self in 2024. I've taken some inspiration from this article in The Guardian - 100 tiny changes to transform your life (link in comments).

What tiny changes in this list inspire you?

Happy New Year!

Are you writing endless to do lists and running from one appointment to another? Do you feel bored when you have some spare time on your hands? Is your calendar so full you have no room for spontaneity? Then you might need to take a step back and reevaluate how you spend your time.

As Oprah Winfrey says on her super soul podcast, the most important thing you can give yourself is time. Time to be and think will never be regretted. And guess what, suddenly decisions - big and small - become easier to make.

Happy reading!

It's that time of year when the pressure is on to define goals, commit to New Year resolutions and make changes in your life.

In doing so, are we chasing success or happiness?

How about giving yourself a break instead! Take a step back, check in with yourself, and discover what success means for YOU.

In my blog, I invite you to consider that success can be internal, is not always measurable, and changes as you grow. I also share my own perspective on success and leave you with some questions to ponder. Finally, I offer simple tips to focus on feeling more successful rather than having success.

Happy reading!

We are blinded by what we see on social media, what we hear and read. We adopt beliefs and goals from our parents, and expectations from society and the culture we live in. It’s not surprising the success bar is based on external norms. Guess what? The secret to your success is about defining what

The best gifts don’t come with a bow.

If you want to give yourself a gift this festive season, I invite you to reflect on your year. There’s something symbolic about wrapping up a year by reviewing it holistically. I’m a big fan and always take time out to do it. Sometimes I just reflect and write freely. Other times, I follow some guided questions.

Why review your year?

It can help you be at peace with the things that didn’t happen; refocus on a long-term goal and reframe failures into learnings. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to celebrate achievements, however small. The end of the year is a great opportunity to close a chapter, create a Wow! list and pat yourself on the back.

I encourage you to have a go. My blog will guide you to ponder your year and hear what it has to say.

Let me know how you get on!

There’s a lot of pressure to measure our time in terms of achievements. The pressure comes from many – your employer, business targets, society, and last but not least, from ourselves. A holistic review of your year can prepare you for the one ahead There’s something symbolic about wrapping up

Do you know the value of YOUR values?

They are more important than you think!

Your core values provide the groundwork for your actions, decisions and behaviours.

Values are part of YOU. And should never be ignored. They highlight what you stand for and provide you with a personal code of conduct.

What happens when you don’t honour your values?

Your mental, emotional and physical health suffers 🤕

What happens when you listen to your values?

You experience greater fulfillment 😀

And when you’re in transition and you listen to your values, they can be your guiding star. They can help you make the right choices. And help you find work you love.

Guess what? You don’t choose your values. They are discovered.

Where to start?

Ask yourself two important questions:

- How do you spend your time? ⌚
- What do you spend your money on? 💳

I invite you to ponder on these questions today.

‘What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.’

This used to be part of my inner dialogue to help me cope with the daily struggles I faced living with hearing loss.

Today, I’m filled with gratitude for technology and proud to have a full library of audiobooks.

There are still struggles, but they are minor and invisible to others.

Maybe my journey can give hope and encouragement to others 🙃

I’m super excited to share I’ve been welcomed into the elite world of certified coaches by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). While I am already certified by my coaching programme taken with Barefoot Coaching in 2017, this achievement represents reaching the next level as a professional coach.

The badge below represents a lot. My commitment to high professional and ethical standards, to my own ongoing growth, and dedication to the continuous development of myself and my clients.

It’s been a long journey that started in 2009 when I discovered the world of NLP. Since then, my life has been enriched with coaching, being coached, essays (I have a Post Graduate Certificate in coaching too), online learning, a knowledge exam, and launching a business.

Other challenges came and went. I regained my hearing, transitioned from a corporate career, navigated a pandemic to name a few. I’ve had to take my own advice and not compare myself to others. And write a new story.

A big thank you to all my clients who invite me into their worlds and partner with me to rewrite their stories. And to the ICF for providing ongoing support, learning, and sharing opportunities on a global and local level.

Are you navigating a transition right now? Are you aware your current story is holding you back? Then consider reaching out for a FREE discovery call to see if partnering with me is right for you.

🎉Are you remembering to celebrate your small wins? 🎉

By spreading your cheer, you are also giving hope to others. 😀

Reaching goals, learning and growth are all about baby steps. And each one can be important on YOUR success list.

By focusing on what you haven’t got (yet) you are creating a scarcity mindset. When you focus on what you have achieved and at the same acknowledge the path ahead with encouraging self-talk, you are creating a positive story.

I’m celebrating 6 coaching clients whom I am honoured to partner with on their personal growth journey. A discovery call done today. And my joy and delight in knowing I am exactly where I am supposed to be. With all the frustrations!
What are you celebrating? And who will you share it with?

PS I’ve been known to help others discover their wins and anchor a positive story about their achievements. If you’re curious to hear how I could help you, drop me a line 😀

I've just been named one of the top #20 coaches in Copenhagen in 2021 by Influence Digest Media.
What an honour 😊😊😊
Choosing a coach is not an easy task. There are so many factors that contribute to finding the right fit. At the end of the day, it's about chemistry (as it is when choosing a doctor, entering into a similar professional healthcare partnership or relationship partner 💘).

Good news! I may be based in Copenhagen but I work globally!

More good news.

If we're not the right fit, there are nineteen fellow coaches to choose from.
