Here’s the first in an occasional series of relatively short posts written from a mentoring perspective.
In other words, this is knowledge I gained from others and have found useful in my life and career.
1- “The Method Of Polite Conversation”
This technique is really simple and can work well when talking to someone else or in small […]
Since Google is well known for being a great place to work and following on from Tuesday’s post on Google TechTalks Coaching , below is my current list of questions about coaching and mentoring within the Big ‘G’.
To get the creative juices flowing I used my trusty copy of MindGenius and generated a simple outline […]
There’s an old, somewhat worn out personal development / goal setting exercise that usually goes something like this:
“Imagine you’ve just six months to live.
What would you do?
Where would you go?
Who would you spend time with?”
I (and some of my coaching clients) invariably have trouble imagining our own future demise - it’s been no easy […]

Topic: “Successful Career Change Using Goals, Coaching and Mentoring”
Rules: One question per reader please.
Ask your question as a comment to this post and I will […]
Would you move half a world away in your early 40s and start over?

His story inspired me to seek him out and we have talked on the
phone every couple of weeks for several […]
