Can You Kiss the Mirror Yet? (in Public)
Of all the things Bob Proctor taught in a 3-Day seminar I attended in London last summer, one that's stuck with me most is his attitude towards himself - he loves and accepts himself 100%. How cool is that? Paul Martinelli tells a story about traveling with Bob and walking through a section of an airport where there was a huge wall, all mirror. Bob walked right up to it and kissed his own reflection 'mua, mua, mua, I love you so much!' and not a bit embarrassed when everyone else stopped and stared. Read more...
3 Steps to Better Communication using just 3 Simple Colours
Fiona maintains that the problems many of us encounter in our dealings with others are often due to the style of communication - the way we say things - rather than what we are saying, and that style is down to our personality type. There are many personality and style type indicators available - the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, The Kolbe Index, and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter to name a few, but to keep this simple, Fiona groups people into three main communication style colours; Red, Green and Blue.

The Joy of Receiving
As is normal here, the whole event was wonderfully chaotic - as parents, we filed dutifully into a beautiful new classroom, where the chairs were laid out in neat, straight rows, inviting us to sit down in some sort of orderly fashion. There was a brief attempt at this by some of us, but when the children filed in to take their places on benches at the front, the overpowering need to digitally capture some special moments of the event took hold and we all took our places at the side of the room, jostling for our turns at the front of the pack clutching our various grades of cameras, videos and pdas.

Stop Making Sense… Suicide and Six Year Olds
Three weeks ago, I took a birthday cake into school to celebrate Hal’s birthday. Juan was a star – he’d made a birthday crown for Hal and his classmate, Yedra, who was also celebrating her birthday. We sang happy birthday in Spanish and English for both of them and they got to blow out candles –double cake all round! It was lovely. Juan ran the party in such a way that all the kids got cake, juice, party balloons and had fun in the class, then got to run it all off outside in the patio straight afterwards. As we were clearing up, he mentioned that in September Hal will be going up to the ‘primera’ – the first class in the big school, rather than infantil. I asked him what he would do then and he shrugged, smiled and said – be here, of course, teaching the little ones – it’s what I do! He seemed fine and to be genuinely enjoying himself. And when I picked Hal up from school later that day, Juan had collated all the birthday pictures the other kids had drawn for him into a little book. It was a wonderfully thoughtful memento to give a child of their key milestones in their childhood… Read more...
It’s Not Funny, Is It?
Hmmm – laughter in my book just happens – and a lot, all day, every day– it’s not something that I’ve ever analysed or questioned before. I’ve always assumed that the world is a much happier and brighter place with more laughter in it and I always thought that it was my role, as a born optimist, to contribute as much as possible with all the smiles and laughs I could – in the appropriate places if course. But what if I’m wrong? Read more...
How Many Snakes Can You Handle?
As the gap became wider, their attitudes towards playing changed dramatically - TheO realised he was way behind and started complaining that it wasn’t fair – he got cross and not surprisingly, started trying to cheat to catch up; while Hal, spurred on by his apparent success suddenly changed gear and really started playing to win.

The Magic of Thinking Big (or 3)
Of course, he gets himself into trouble quite a bit, but in general his spirit and energy make him a joy to be around. And, as his mother, who also happens to be a coach who spends most of her day helping adults get over their own limiting beliefs, if there's one thing I want to encourage and nurture and see truly flourish in him, it's this wonderful fearless attitude. David J. Schwartz, in the 1959 book of the same name, describes it as 'The Magic of Thinking Big' Read more...
