One of the joys of speaking is knowing that your message has landed well, that you communicated what you wanted to, and that your message was heard. Knowing you’ve made a difference is a great reward. Regardless of your words, you generally want them to have the intended impact. And they do. Words are powerful. May our intended…
I stacked my bike this morning. Would have been hilarious to see. Then the insights started coming. My first thought after “tree!” and my face full of branches (thank God for helmets and caps with a decent shade on the front) was that this was a great example of why it’s great to look where…
Do you realise what you accomplished in 2013? Do you know how amazing you are?

Ooops. Anyone else done that? I love challenging (or having challenged) my assumptions – once I’ve become aware…
Reflecting on our 18th Wedding Anniversary resulted in many insights – and my waking one this morning was that we’re still 50 years off my Grandparents current achievement of 68 years! I also thought of this video that we filmed a couple of weeks ago and is in the Cheering You On file. When you…
