What You Pay Attention to Grows

24 July 2025 by Jen Waller

Quote reads: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” (Simone Weil). Behind the quote, a pair of glasses sits on a table. The background outside the glasses is blurred, but through the lenses, a vivid and colourful coastal town comes into sharp focus. The image highlights clarity through focused attention.

What if attention itself is a form of care? A reflection for International Self-Care Day.

When Thought Looks Like Truth

Image of a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds drifting across it. One cloud trail resembles a swirl of thought bubbles. Overlaid text reads: "Thought is a kind of opium; it can intoxicate us, while still broad awake." (Henri-Frédéric Amiel)

Thought can feel urgent and true even when it’s not. Here’s what happens when we stop taking it so seriously and look underneath.

Creativity That Doesn’t Need to Prove Itself

20 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A digitally illustrated image of a torn-paper-style nature collage. At the top is a brown-paper sky with the quote in black text: "Art is man's nature; nature is God's art." (Philip James Bailey) Below are torn layers of mountains, waves, and earth in various textures and colours: grey stone, turquoise water, white crests, brown rock, and snowy peaks.

What if, despite what we sometimes believe, there’s a naturalness to creativity?
Not just in paint and poetry, but in the way we can approach solving problems, connect with others, or see the world differently.
What if art isn’t something separate from us, but something we’re already part of?

>Nature doesn’t try to impress. It just expresses.
And maybe, so can we, when we’re not caught up in trying too hard.

When Silence Says More Than Words

19 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A softly lit, minimal image of a single bare tree reflected in still water on a misty beige-toned background. The quote reads: “Learn the art of Silence; the wise Man that holds his Tongue, says more than the Fool who speaks.” (Thomas Fuller)

Some silences feel uncomfortable.
Others feel full.

In coaching and in life, silence isn’t always empty.
It can hold clarity. Insight. Presence.
It allows space for wisdom to rise, rather than being crowded out by noise or habit.

Sometimes the most powerful part of a conversation is the bit where no one is speaking.
And sometimes, it’s not even about pausing but sensing the silence underneath the words.
The quiet presence that’s already there, beneath it all.

Silence isn’t just something we offer others.
It’s also something we can offer ourselves.
A pause. A breath.
A chance to hear what we hadn’t yet noticed.

The quiet power of listening

18 July 2025 by Jen Waller

The word “Listen” is written in beautiful cursive script in smooth sand. Above it, a quote by Charlotte Brontë reads: “The eagerness of a listener quickens the tongue of a narrator.” (Charlotte Brontë)

Today is #ListeningDay. At the heart of coaching is listening—not to fix, guide, or even understand… but simply to be there.
When someone is truly listened to, something shifts.
They might speak more freely, think more clearly, even surprise themselves. Read more »
