Beauty and the Beast is probably my favourite Disney movie of all time. The story of how love and doing the right thing can overcome any adversary is a timeless story. The end of the story where Belle and the now human-again Prince are dancing in front of their friends and family is the classic… Continue reading What Ever Happened To Belle & The Beast?

Sometimes To Make A Difference You Just Need To Ask “Are You OK?”
A friend once told me a story about a flight she was on. She works as part of the cabin crew for an airline. There was a guy she saw on the plane who was acting strange. Sweating, slightly pale, looking blankly into the seat in front of him. It didn't seem that he was… Continue reading Sometimes To Make A Difference You Just Need To Ask “Are You OK?”
Fear, Tension, Resistance & Your Best Work
"We got taught for 12 or 16 years at school, that our job was to get an "A", that if we are defective we fail - we were reprocessed, sent back a grade and had to do it again. This idea that we better be right, that we better be perfect, that we better get… Continue reading Fear, Tension, Resistance & Your Best Work
You Are Not A Red Zebra
Isn't it strange how zebra's stand out so much? Shouldn't they have evolved to be a sort of brown colour? Like the lion, so that they would blend in with their environment and not get eaten? Interestingly enough when scientists were studying zebra's, they found it awfully hard to keep track of which zebra was… Continue reading You Are Not A Red Zebra
Still Or Sparkling?
When you're asked at a restaurant if you would like "still or sparkling water?", what do you say? Often we do things in a certain way without asking why. It starts off innocently enough in school. We get shown how to tie our shoes the tried and tested way, so that we don't have to… Continue reading Still Or Sparkling?
“Mind The Gap”
"Please mind the gap". It's a phrase that is announced over and over again on the London Underground. When I was a child I would avoid "the gap" at all costs. It was a terrifying idea; falling into "the gap" would surely result in immediate death...or worse...having to come face to face with some kind… Continue reading “Mind The Gap”
Michelin Star Chef Goes Out Of Business!
He spread himself too thin, gave away all his cooking secrets in his TV shows and cookbooks and was too generous with his criticism to improve food in the UK. As a result he had nothing left to say, no more new recipes to cook and disappeared into obscurity. Of course none of this is… Continue reading Michelin Star Chef Goes Out Of Business!
Have You Ever Found Yourself Driving Down A One-Way Road?
Most of the time when you turn in to a one-way road, you know it's one-way as soon as you turn in. The worst kind of one-way roads are those that look like normal roads for a long time. These roads always take you to a place where you don't want to be. Hiring too… Continue reading Have You Ever Found Yourself Driving Down A One-Way Road?
Life By A Thousand Cuts
Creating something authentic is always such a surprisingly painful experience. Why is it that so many creators, from Vincent van Gogh to Kurt Cobain, suffered with such severe depression? They experienced so much pain that they ultimately took their own lives. Perhaps there is a disconnect between how creators see the world and how most… Continue reading Life By A Thousand Cuts
Are You Stupid, Mature Or Brave?
The only thing between where you are now and where you want to be are a series of hurdles. Few people overcome these hurdles to reach the goal. Few people push through to become the person they want to become. Stupid people start something while full well knowing, from the very beginning, that they're never… Continue reading Are You Stupid, Mature Or Brave?
