The profound importance of listening cannot be overstated. It may seem like a simple topic, but the reality is that quality listening is a rare skill in today's fast-paced and distracted world. To truly listen, you must be fully present, free from the distractions of the voice in your head.

In a world that constantly demands our attention and energy, it is easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of activities without pausing to consider the consequences of our choices. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you are truly living life sustainably?

Take a moment to reflect on your own team: How safe do you feel expressing yourself? Do you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, even if they differ from the majority?

Consciously choosing the words that define who you want to be holds immense value. Sometimes, you may find yourself not fully embodying the qualities you desire, only realising it in retrospect.

That's why, before such crucial moments, it's beneficial to deliberately decide who you aspire to be.

These situations are prompting me to ask many questions about High Performance and Maximising results…

I’m starting to ask myself… how can I carry on in my cosy little life, when there are so many bigger problems around me. I find myself now being called to take stands, stands for what I am passionate about in this life, and in this world, a stand that is about being of service and making a different way beyond myself.

I am currently the team coach for a regional group of activists. They are passionate about holding the government to account to make legislation changes in support of our climate and ecology.

It has been some of my most rewarding work ever.

What’s going on in your life and your work right now? How are you doing? There are times in life where you benefit from some support or some development.

Here's the primary three reasons why you might get a coach:

The ego wants to feel safe. It is trying to protect you. And in order to protect you, it likes things to be known and unchanging. Or at least if they are changing, it likes the change to be predictable, not sudden or surprising.
