How do you explore new territory in work and life? In my latest blog, I share the Six Modes of Exploration from my forthcoming book ‘The Fifth Element’. From planned journeys to serendipitous discoveries, from community wisdom to sudden revelations – which mode serves you best? #Leadership #Coaching #PersonalDevelopment #ChiefExplorer
Creative Confidence: building authentic expression through coaching.
In my latest blog post, I explore how the Creative You programme helps individuals move from being “terrified” to “much more open” about sharing their creative work.
Drawing from recent client feedback, I’ve identified three key elements that unlock creative potential:
• Finding authentic alignment with your unique creative voice
• Embracing the power of conscious pausing in the creative process
• Building sustainable momentum through flexible, personalized support
As your coach, I provide both the permission and accountability to make creative pauses intentional rather than avoidant, helping you layer ideas and return to projects with fresh perspective.
This post complements last week’s exploration of my Wayfinder programme – together they represent two paths toward meaningful personal transformation.

Sometimes the best experiments evolve beyond our original design. My first “Come Inside” session was everything I hoped for – just not how I expected. Here’s the story.
The announcement reveals the publication of the author’s new book, “Precious Jewels: Small Experiments for Personal Growth.” It introduces the “Bridges to the New” concept, designed to assist individuals in navigating transitions through reflective prompts. The approach encourages personal development by exploring new perspectives and creating tailored questions.
There’s a curious disconnect in how we approach change. We often think of our deepest values as abstract concepts that live in one realm, while our daily actions and experiments exist in another. But what if these seemingly separate territories are actually intimately connected? In my work with coaching clients over the years, I’ve noticed … Read more
I’ve been reflecting on how my various coaching programmes and books connect into one coherent journey of exploration and transformation.
In my latest blog post, “The Explorer’s Journey: One Path, Many Adventures,” I share how values, insight, creativity, and practical tools form a natural progression through four layers of development.
Whether you’re interested in coaching, personal growth, or simply curious about how seemingly separate ideas can form a unified whole, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this framework.

In my decades of coaching leaders and teams, I’ve discovered that transformation rarely comes from a single approach. Just as ancient wisdom traditions speak of different guides for different journeys, I’ve developed three distinct coaching personas, each bringing unique gifts to the development process. These personas emerged naturally from my doctoral research in Jungian psychology … Read more
I am really excited to announce my forthcoming book, “Precious Jewels: A Small Book About Small Experiments.” As many of you know, I’ve long been fascinated by the power of incremental change and creative exploration.

In the last few blog posts and newsletters I mentioned a Poetry Reading at Start-Yard in Birkenhead. The Poetry Reading took place last week. I had set myself some basic goals or aspirations for this event. I’ve learnt over the years that setting really ambitious goals is unhelpful. It sets me up to be disappointed. … Read more
Many of you will be aware that I am a poet as well as a coach. My non-fiction writing is very much informed by my work as a poet. If you have read my last book “The Inner Fire” you will have ‘met’ a character in there called alice. And yes, it’s alice with a … Read more
