Positive New Directions

Now there are lots of talented people in the world, no doubting that.  It’s all well and good living with all the privileges of a modern western lifestlye.  Living with a roof over your head and just having to deal with getting to work and back.  But some “still” complain about having no time to do their own stuff. One of the things that lights me up inside is when someone who quietly gets on and practices their favorite thing, their talent, over and over and then bam!!!!!! when you least...

So, you may have noticed that the Personal Development Practice club is no more!! Well it’s no more in its physical form, but it still exists as an idea in my head, which may work better in a different form i.e. more online (webinars, social media) than offline. What happened?  Well you may draw a likeness to what usually happens with a gym membership, with the idea being something that many individuals are pumped up about at the start of the New Year!!  You know what I mean,  phrases like “I’m...

It’s a challenge trying to get and keep people interested in a concept that essentially challenges the everyday expectations of the world and our local communities, that dares to inspire people to dream BIG, follow their heart and do something different, to push themselves that little bit.  But it’s a challenge I am prepared to take on and get friendly with.

This week I have been on an IT training course in the area of London called the “square mile”.  I was on a VMware training course with 12 other IT support people, some were system architects and some were managers of small IT teams of people.  The course was great and I learnt so much it was unreal.  I realised that I hadn’t received that much information in such a short space of time since I was at university (1993 – 1996).  I haven’t been on an IT training course...

Thanks to who attended the Personal Development Practise club Monday 27th February 2012, as attendees/participants you really make the club what it is. We always endeavour to make it a useful way of spending your evening, in a comfortable, relaxing environment, where you can learn new things, grow and develop.Here’s a quick summary of what went on.- it was interesting, getting an idea of “why” we set goals and do the things we do we explored what it feels like to not have completed...

We’re already nearing the end of Feb 2012 and almost 60 days of this year have already disappeared. Q – What had you planned to achieve by now that still hasn’t materialised? How much of this was to do with the fact that you went back to your old ways of doing things. Want to make some real changes, then change your approach, “do something different”.

Whenever preparing for something important and counting down the days to the big moment, do you find that some obstacle always pops up? draining away what little time you had, to prepare? Oh no, “even less time to prepare?” or “less time to fret?” Belief suggestion – you can do just as well if you had an hour or a week to prepare for something!!  You have less time to fret, less time to worry, you “have” to get on with the important bits.  You may even...

We’re fast approaching the next Personal development practise club event on Monday 27th February 2012. Some of you have already sent me your answers to the registration questions back, via email or Facebook. Some of you will have defined some goals to aim for and will no doubt have some feedback, helping you do more of the same or adjust your approach or strategy. Some will have decided that 2012 will be “your year”, but not set out any clear, compelling goals to work towards,...

Do you or anybody you know think like this about employment? I’ve been working here long enough, my employer owes me a chance to progress, I’m bored, I need a challenge, an opportunity, but I’m going to sit back and wait for my employer to present me with one, Hmmm!! This is the lazy mans/womans way of fooling themselves that they are in control of the opportunities that life presents them, so they can go back to being lazy, in my humble opinion obviously.  Being in control...

You’ve just had the highs of Christmas and the New year, there were parties for what seemed like the whole of December and it was a time when you were allowed to get drunk, dance wildly and in your own way, let your hair down for all the hard work you put in for the whole year.Then comes January and boy this can be a downer!!  I remember getting to January and feeling like “Right I have to go through a whole year again, just to get the highs of Christmas and the New Year again and then January...
