The importance of community

One of the things I recently experienced on my Columbia trip was the value to me of Community. It’s something that’s been unravelling for me on my development journey over the last decade.

It’s time to spring forward

For the animal kingdom (of which we are part), winter is a time for hibernating for going inside. And spring is a time for re-emerging.

Confidence

Our Leadership Community’s topic for this month is Confidence. Here’s three slightly different angles on this topic: the myth of confidence; confidence with others and super-charged confidence.

Are you selling your soul?

Perhaps you're caught in the trap - the materialistic capitalist trap. "I have a wife and a family. The kids are in private school, and I need to earn a lot of money. I need to provide for my family"

So you work hard, so very hard that you're not around much, and often tired and grumpy.

You think you're 'providing' for them. You might be providing materially. But I'm suggesting to you you've got it all wrong.

Fundraising is a mind game.

The key, I believe, is to not get caught up in the noise of the mind, but to stay rooted deeply in what you believe in. Stay deeply rooted in why are you doing this business? Stay deeply rooted in your passion and what difference it can make in the world.

I’m in search of a deeper truth about life

I’m off to the Columbian Andes to learn about ancient ways of living. Indigenous tribes have a deep spiritual connection. From that, they have an understanding about life & the cosmos that keeps them rooted to living in a way that respects and cares for our planet.

Is your team dynamic?

In this post, I want to specifically explore the dynamic that occurs in team interactions. The dynamic is ultimately about how the team is working together. A good dynamic means there’s ease and flow. The machine is oiled moving smoothly and easily in and out of gears, not rusty or restricted by friction.

Taking a stand.

This post has two purposes.

Firstly to inspire you to reflect on what you’re doing about the climate crisis.

Secondly to have you reflect on taking stands in your life.

Be here now. A poem to inspire you to follow your path

Supposing you were exactly where you’re supposed to be. Everything that is in your life right now is part of your path - all the good and all the challenging. It’s your path. There’s nowhere else to be, other than here now, with everything as it is

Vikesh on the limitless magic within us

In this video, Vikesh - who has been through our Quality of Mind Programme - and Martin Palethorpe, explore God, but not as you might know him. Quality of Mind enabled Vikesh to have deep and profound realisations, including:

The Man in the Arena - are you living your life to the full?

Listen to one of my favourite quotes, an excerpt from a Theodore Roosevelt speech that he gave in Sorbonne Paris.

This quote has inspired me for many years. It first resonated deeply when I failed to get to win a race to the magnetic North Pole. I was racing with a team 350 miles across the Arctic and I had a blister and I ended up with Septicemia and I had to pull out.

The mind works better with space

When the mind is quiet, when the mind has space - it works better. It reflects better. It comes up with more and better ideas. It enables you to be considered in all that you're doing, to be more conscious in the choices you're making.
