Imagine opening your diary and seeing spacious time, portions helpfully allocated to connecting, doing and reflecting? We think we might have cracked it?!

What if your time was punctuated by thinking space, rather than endless meetings slotted in in gaps?

In Japan urban planners leave parks without walkways for a few months, later adding landscaped paths that follow the natural tracks made by people.

Here is a 3 step plan to creating your own desire paths at work, that help you create meaningful and replenishing work.

3 lessons from my week of trying out the 7 types of rest and what I would do differently next time

I’ve been having hypnosis for the last few weeks for pain management, I’ve also had a medical procedure in hospital. But its not the headline experience that really makes a difference, it’s the build up, how things unfold and the follow up that matter.

A glimpse into a micro coaching practice. She showed me what ‘dropped’ beneath me, the deep roots I have that allow me to feel secure.

Then it was time for the rise.

Ive been untangling my thinking around scarcity, plenty, expectation and growthI have been invited to join Design Thinking Academy London as a coach and my May retreat launches next week. As my business surges forward, I have been deepening its roots and doing some mental work to ground success and support my own learning.
