		<title>Silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“It’s the silence between the notes that makes the music.” (Zen proverb) There’s the old question that soft skills trainers have often been heard to ask, “What is the opposite of talking?” I’ve been known to ask groups this myself as an introduction into a topic and there is always a proportion who answer that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Authentically communicating your skills and qualities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the games I sometimes play in trainings is to pick some of the largest companies with well-known brand names and as a group answer questions such as: If Brand x was a person: (a) What would they wear? (b) How would they spend their spare time? (c) What would be their favourite food? [...]]]></description>

		<title>When to start charging?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a question that I’ve seen many new coaches and other change workers ask themselves and others. I certainly remember asking myself the question about when to start charging and several people had an opinion and different approaches. I’m not going to tell you what you should do but let me share the following [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moments in Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This piece I wrote back in 2008 and was initially published on the blog Your Changing Direction. For a couple of reasons this week I have been thinking about time, or to be more precise, how time can effect our perception of a situation we’re in. The bits of history that have always fascinated me concern [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coaching circles and practice groups invitation</title>

		<title>Time to Think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I wanted to write about another resource. I have shelves full of personal development and coaching related books, many that are superb. So picking the one to write about first is a challenge but one I have happily undertaken. Time to Think by Nancy Kline , in my opinion, is a must read for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coaching Beliefs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve done any kind of reading around the topic of coaching, or even attending a training or two you’ve probably come across the mention of beliefs.

		<title>False Eyelashes and Confidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love completely random facts, there doesn’t have to be any obvious practical application for the information I’ve found/been given to provoke me to give a genuine “Really? That’s interesting” response. One of my favourite completely random pieces of information is that false eyelashes were invented in 1916 by a silent movie director who wanted [...]]]></description>
