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

Not Hitting Your Target ? Why You Need to Manage Your Focus
Yes, it is about being good at what you do. But what happens when you have the skill set but you are still not getting where you want ? How do you pull it all together and create your ultimate goal ? That was the big question I found myself asking back in 2000 after yet another year of getting nowhere diving. I was stuck at 121 meters and nothing I did really seemed to make a difference. I knew how to dive. I had practiced the skills over and over until they were unconscious reactions, yet somehow I could [...]
How to NOT be Frustrated – A Beginners Guide

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 [...]
Creating Choice – Disconnecting From Thoughts
written March 11 2009If you read the blog for long enough you will find that I am fascinated with the concept of thoughts and emotions. In particular how trapped we are by them - they seem to run our lives and I don’t know about you, but I sure did [...]
