Yikes! What a gooey title but here I am back bashing the typewriter keys thanks to this electronic marvel, Q10 - see last Friday’s personal productivity post.
Yes, folks, it’s personal productivity again - or rather the lack of it, that is the subject of this week’s post.
Now before you get all hot and bothered over [...]
UK-based readers might recognize the influence of Shakin’ Stevens in the title of this post.
I was never a fan but remember watching Top Of The Pops (now extinct) and complaining how I couldn’t get his catchy little ditty out of my head (it was the hormones, no doubt!).
Well, 20 plus years later the hormone flow [...]
Occasionally my coaching clients have a problem with staying on task.
Oh, they have goals, plans and even the best of intentions but alas, there’s always some crazy, unexpected interruption that derails their progress.
And, naturally enough, they want me to help.
(Well, if truth be told, I too have similar problems from time to time - and [...]
Just yesterday China’s top hope for an Olympic Gold Track medal, Xiang LIU, unfortunately had to withdraw from his 110 meters Hurdles race because of injury.
It’s always sad when an athlete is unable to perform because of something beyond their control.
Especially so when there is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do so at [...]
Just for a change - and partly influenced by the Beijing Olympics - I’m presenting 3 medal winning posts from bloggers in my Career Change BlogRoll (see right hand column of home page).

Depends on what I discover on my surfing travels.
There’s [...]

A few years ago my daughter (maybe 9 at the time) asked me to go ride the coaster in a Japanese theme park.
And, brave dad that I wanted to be, I agreed to [...]
How valuable has education been to your career success?
Kind of a loaded question, eh?!
Reminds me of what Tony Robbins (the personal development guru) is reputed to have said when queried on his lack of formal qualifications:
“I have a Ph.D. - a Ph.D. in Results.” lol!
How disarming! ‘love it!
Anyway, I happened to come across UK-based [...]
This is the third of 3 posts on goal setting excuses. (Here are the first and second posts in the series.)
Setting BIG goals, without some reference to a higher vision or purpose can be less than inspiring.
In fact, downright dull.
Words I often hear from people who say they detest setting BIG goals are: “It’s sooo [...]
I haven’t been this moved by a film (and all I’ve seen so far is the YouTube trailer!!) - since the final 30 minutes of The Shawshank Redemption.
“Man on Wire” tells the incredible, true story of Philippe Petit’s 7th August 1974 highwire artistry on a 3/4 inch steel cable suspended between the two World Trade [...]
