These articles, essays and letters are designed to help point the reader toward Possibility (and away from impossibility).
Each piece helps flesh out how you and I can live from a fresh view of life, freedom and creativity. They are equally relevant for practitioners, mums and dads, businesspeople and those working in the public sector.

TRUE LISTENING OCCURS BEYOND THE KNOWN In this piece, we will look at whether we are open to seeing beyond our habitual and invisible thinking – to seeing what is. Seeing through our hidden beliefs – you know, those ingrained beliefs we have kept on file forever. Our beliefs… Read More
Lost: Amid the myriad faces of impossibility Within the thicket of my thoughts, Drowning in a sea of certainty And imprisoned by mesmerising memories. Lost: In the blindness of beliefs The opiate of… Read More
The spark for this article occurred in a recent workshop with a business group (in 2022). In vivid detail, Bob explained how one of his children’s less-attractive behaviours escalated out of control. In animated fashion, he told the group how his other child leapt into the fray. And finally,… Read More
I share with you the view that humankind’s greenhouse gas emissions are, by far, the greatest existential threat to humanity’s survival – with one overarching exception. That exception is detailed a little further down (where it will become clear why I present it in that order). But… Read More
Seeing beyond our frozen fears and imagined needs lies another realm, a realm unrivalled. Seeing beyond our beliefs, opinions and judgements, of being right and making others wrong, is another state – a state of wisdom and common sense. Seeing… Read More
