I blog, randomly about the things I observe and the things I learn.

There is a blog around my new learning adventure on my yacht, called Wright Away, or find a category and explore.

When Someone Else’s Emotions are Your Limits

This idea that emotions have a power of their own is one that fascinates me. I meet very few people who are able to focus on what they want regardless of what they are feeling – and when I do they tend to be me, which really gets me interested. This post isn’t about mastering my emotions, it is about how I let the emotions of other people master me, which is a not so obvious twist to a familiar topic. It starts with how aware you are of how other people affect you ? Have you noticed how hard [...]

Yes, you do have a super power, can you name it ?

Imagine a cv, that had only one thing on it, your super power! The difference you make every day at work! Most of us can’t because we don’t think of ourselves like that, we don’t see ourselves as a brand or as something we can sum up into one or three words.

Mastering Emotions with Meditation

I don’t know about you, but the ability to stay calm, cool and collected at work (amongst other places) is quite high on my list of things to perfect. It is even more frustrating to be stuck on this and know that who I am is something that can change – my [...]

Habits of Dream Making – Knowledge vs Habit

It struck me the other day how easy it is these days to accumulate knowledge. Powerful and successful leaders have all written books outlining how they made it to the top. The shelves of bookshops are filled with books on leadership, team building and how to be a success. Which [...]

Never Failing Is Possible!

  It occurred to me that there is an art to never failing and it is wrapped up the context you create for yourself when you undertake a task. For most of us engaging in the world is not a conscious exercise. We get up. We go to work. We [...]

The Difference Between Helping & Coaching

It always astonishes me what lessons there are to be learnt in coaching, this weeks is how entrenched the concept of being helped is in our society. Here is the thing, in coaching you are not given answers. You are not helped. If there is one fundamental philosophy in coaching [...]
