Trusting my tooth

I am looking for a metaphysical link between my tooth which may need root canal work and the upcoming Boot&Soul Camp… maybe it is my way of stopping endless preparation and over-thinking by just having a brain-numbing pain in my head… either way I am reading tooth affirmations and trusting that it will settle in the next 24 hours… my dentist-to-the-stars swooped into the surgery, prodded and pushed and announced there is some bruising and within a day it will either settle down or blow up and if so I will be dispatched to the endontist before I leave on Thursday… I am summoning all my esoteric beliefs to help the tooth settle (and taking panadol)…

Mind your words

“THE WAY WE BEGIN TO TELL OUR LIFE STORY, IS THE WAY WE BEGIN TO LIVE OUR LIFE” … Maureen Murdock… a little gem for Boot&Soul Camp.

Which one to choose?

The stair or the shop window?

Predictors of Success

What a privilege … I was lucky enough to attend an event yesterday with Leslie Pratch, who was out from the US… What an astonishing presentation – extremely rare that you wish the presenter had spoken way longer… She runs a business that predicts performance of senior leaders by examining whether they have the psychological resources and strength of personality to succeed. She does this through a battery of tests she has created called “Active Coping Assessments” to really understand your coping skills… What was fascinating was taking the concept of personality and internal drivers and providing a non-emotional scientific argument… Check out her blog in the Harvard Business Review about why underpinning the success of senior women is the need for self confidence… the talk was a fascinating view of how the use of deep psychological examination in corporate life is really about behavioural due diligence… LOVED IT.

Boot&Soul here we come…

Mel and I just had our final session in preparation for Boot & Soul Camp… it is looking awesome… we’re both really excited and have a beautiful group of women attending… still place for a few more though… So delighted my prayer to the Universe is underway…

Our body’s language

It’s only recently that I have stopped being apologetic for talking about the importance of somatic awareness as a part of leadership… recognising where we hold our anxiety, fear, anger or any other emotion and how that in someway clouds us or diminishes us if we’re unconscious… These pre-verbal clues provide us with such clarity if we listen quietly…

FACE IT … LOVE IT

We hear a lot about how amazing Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, is… she is extraordinarily smart, is credited with the “adulting” of FB, presented with great clarity at Davos… and yet on the FB board not a single female… in fact this has so fired up a group of young people that there is now a campaign, FACE IT, demanding female representation on their board… In the succinct words of the campaign group “The reason is that Facebook has announced a $5 billion IPO—with a corporate board composed exclusively of white men. We believe that this board of white men should include women of all colors. Because Facebook should go public with a board that reflects its own mission—to make the world more open and connected.
Simple as that.” LOVE IT… and this is why I want to work with young women…
