A Coaching Invite To Be Kinder Than Is Necessary

by
This image has a dreamlike golden glow about it. A tranquil stream runs throw the middle and out into the distance. On each side is lush grass with flowers mixed in.

by
A grey background where a lightbulb is drawn in the centre of the image. It is the old-fashioned filament style lightbulb with a screw in design fastening at the bottom. Around the outside of the lightbulb are splodges of blues, yellows, reds and greens all merging into each other - just like ink had been dropped into water creating a marbling effect. Drawn on top of these colours are little random diagrams and doodles which do not seem to be anything specifically recognisable. The text reads: "Your current thinking got you here. Only new thinking will get you out." (Robert G. Allen)

by
This image is in a watercolour style. There is a green landscape at the bottom where a human figure is stood with their back to us with both their arms raised upwards. Tiny flecks of a golden yellow seem to be radiating out from this individual into the sky. The sky is oranges and reds blending into purple with some clouds. A rainbow is forming and goes out of sight at the top of the image.
