If you know my work, you’ll have realised I often talk about taking inspired action, as opposed to motivated action. Inspired action brings with it more ease, sense of purpose, joy and meaning.

Wow! I’ve just been watching an amazing video clip of a guy who speaks passionately about the world of the downward spiral vs the world of possibility. You may have heard of him – conductor Benjamin Zander. On this video there are several gems such as
a) what to do when you make a mistake (and it’s not saying ‘Oh how stupid!’)

‘What do I need a coach for? I’ve always managed perfectly well on my own’.
This is a cry I’ve often heard in response to someone suggesting they find a coach. And of course, some people do manage perfectly well on their own. Others go through traumatic, challenging times and have no problem seeking out help. And yet the majority of people tend to struggle on through life, vaguely feeling like they could do better, or thinking that something is missing, or wondering why life is passing them by.
