From the mouths of babes

Over the course of three days this week, I had the pleasure of delivering a series of leadership seminars to over one hundred children, aged 11 and 12, across Australia. It was an awesome opportunity that I thoroughly enjoyed. The focus of my discussion was to introduce ways to manage extreme emotions, especially nerves. At the start of one my workshops, we were getting to know each other a little more and I asked what time everyone had woken up that day. One sweet little 11 year old from Victoria volunteered that she woke up early, as she normally gets up at around 5:30am. Willingly! I was so surprised and curious, I asked her what wakes her up so early. She said no-one wakes her up and she doesn’t have any musical instruments to practise or any sports to play so early. She just does it because she likes to “reflect” at that time.

Consistently Inconsistent

Our successes in our lives, from the seemingly simple to the more elaborate successes, can all be attributed to what we do consistently. Noticing our inconsistencies in behaviour and thinking, can give us the insights needed to explore the opposing behaviour and thinking too. Figuring this out can offer us great clarity to change things for the better.

Building Quality Relationships - Part 3

The third step is Communication. Communication ties the first two steps together nicely. It determines the type of connection we form with another person. It represents the moment to moment invitations we give to the other person for a particular level of trusting connection.

The one thing sabotaging your relationships!

The common thread to disharmony is most often due to the misuse of ones’ voice. Our voices are powerful instruments. We can use to communicate authentically. We use it to support and nurture our loved ones. Conversely, when used incorrectly, we can alienate ourselves from our basic goodness. Through it’s misuse, it can dismantle and sabotage every level of relationship we have in our lives.

I love a good ol' drama!

Every good story, movie or novel has these characters - a victim, a villain and a hero. What a boring story it would be without them!

Once in a while, we all indulge in a bit of this drama as an audience member. However, have you noticed when you actually take on these leading roles in your day to day lives?

How to create emotional balance, simply

Is your emotional balance thrown way off where your children are concerned? Can the words kids and peace of mind even fall into the same sentence let alone exist in the same space of time?

It's so hard to separate our children’s emotions and their experience from ours. It almost makes us feel guilty to not share the same emotions - how can we have a good day when our child hasn't?

Help children through difficult times

Parental stress impacts children deeply.

Regardless of our environmental circumstances, this is true. And right now, we are ALL stressed to varying degrees. We are ALL panicking at various levels. So, just imagine our children.
