Tomorrow

Hello again

I got a brilliant quote in my inbox today:

Yesterday is not ours to recover but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
Lyndon Johnson

It's a reminder that what's done is done and there's nothing you can do to change it.

As long as you learn from every experience, you are sure to develop and grow in a positve way.

Wishing you all lots of learning and some fabulous tomorrows.

Take care.

Success Practitioner

I've just spent 7 days delivering our Success Practitioner programme (run by our sister company Design Your Future). It was an amazingly empowering experience for all. Seeing our delegates transform before our very eyes made it all so worthwhile and fulfilling.
We got great feedback...
"The start of something remarkable"
"This event has been a breakout session. I broke out of myself and became me"
Check out the website if it tickles your fance http://www.designyourfuture.co.uk
Hope to see you at one of our programmes soon.
Take care.

Hello there!

Well I'm back from my very hot (though extremely windy) holiday in Lanzarote, feeling all refreshed and raring to get going.

This year has gone sooooooo fast so I have decided to make some changes, we are here to enjoy life, enjoy the people that we love and to make the best of things, whatever life throws at you. Now - for those of you who know me you may think that this would be an impossible task - though you would be wrong. Change is a choice and I have made that choice - with a little help ;o)

One way I have found to help me along is to listen to Tony Robbins - the guru of positive thinking - you just can't help to feel inspired. I've also been given a sneak preview of an amazing CD set called Dynamic Personal Breakthrough - and this has really helped me focus on ways to change specific areas in my life. They are out soon, though feel free to contact me if you can't wait to get your set!!

So my message to you this week is go out and find something that inspires you - then go out and enjoy life to the full - you deserve it!

Bye for now

DO SOMETHING DAY

Hope you all had a fab Bank Holiday!

Maria is still sunning herself in Lanzarote...lucky thing...and we're all hard at work making things happen. It may be cloudy outside but it's all action in here!!!

Wanted to share a quote with you that was emailed to me today:

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Theadore Roosevelt

He was a smart guy, don't you think?

So today is 'DO SOMETHING DAY' no matter how small an action...just do something....anything that will get you closer to what you really want in life...go on...you know you want to...so do it NOW!!!!!

Wishing you lots of what you want.

Fuck it!!!!

Thought that might grab your attention!!!
I've just had the most amazing holiday in Italy at a holistic retreat called The Hill that Breathes. Spent a week going Tai Chi and Chi Gung and quite frankly...have never been so chilled out in all my life.
Getting in touch with my chi (energy) has been a truly uplifting experience.
It was my very first holiday on my own - there were 24 other people there so I wasn't technically alone and many of them had travelled on their own too. I met some lovely people and know that some long term friendships have been made.
If you fancy a complete get away from it all experience, the fuck it week at the hill that breathes, really fits the bill.
Must dash....need to have my lunchtime nap ;-)

Glastonbury 2008

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!
I had the best time and whilst we did have one day of rain the rest of the time was sunny.
Yes, it was sunny...yeehah...at last.
I knew my dedication to the festival would pay off sooner or later.
Saw some great bands, danced to some excellent DJ's and saw a drum playing robot....had so much fun.
Must dash....have been really busy since I got back.
Take care.

summer solstice

Hello there
It's the longest day tomorrow so make the most of every second of daylight...cos there's going to be a bit less each day from then on....sorry!!!
On a more positive note...midsummers day always reminds me of stonehenge...which always reminds me of my journey to the Glastonbury Festival.
I'm making my pilgrimage again this year and have been praying for sunshine for the last month. The last two have been very wet and muddy and I think we deserve a dry sunny one for our courage in braving natures elements once again.
I'll let you know how it went when I get back.
Enjoy the sunshine and remember to have lots of FUN!!!!!

it's been a while

Hello there
Apologies for neglecting my blog update duties....I've been so busy working on a new project.
I've set up an additional company called Design Your Future...created to help people change their lives and get more of what they want.
I'm so excited - NLP has been a passion of mine for many years and I've used these tools to transform my business, my relationships, my health, my sports performance....in fact all areas of my life.
Our first Dynamic Personal Breakthrough weekend earlier this month had delegates changing their thinking about the problems in their lives and focusing on what they want.
We have already got bookings for our Practitioner and Master Practitioner programmes in the summer.
If you want to learn more about how you can get rid of the problems in your life and get more of what you really want go to www.designyourfuture.co.uk
The clocks go forward tonight and that means summer is on the way so enjoy those warmer days, those longer evenings and being able to have fun outdoors!!
Take care.

Barcelona

Hello there
Hope you've all enjoyed the summer...yes, I know the weather hasn't been as good as it could have been but hey...those lovely long evenings...those warmer temperatures...fun times with friends and family...talking of which, I've just had a fab weekend in Barcelona with a couple of friends.
What a great place - there's amazing architecture, a fab range of restaurants, bars of all descriptions and plenty of party atmosphere in the nite clubs.
For those of you that like a bit of retail therapy, there are stacks of shops and a brilliant food market that is not to be missed...it was quite an experience!
If you want a city break that has everything - it's got to be Barcelona.
Keep smiling.

Glastonbury 2007

WOW...WOW...WOW!!!!!
Yes it was wet...yes it was muddy...BUT...it was absolutely brilliant.
What a fantastic experience.
No matter how many times I go - I still find it awesome.
My highlights were...Kaiser Chiefs, Killers, Kasabian, Paul Weller and The Who...and the thrill of being with my friends in such a chilled out atmosphere.
Glasto is the kind of experience everyone should have at least once in their lives - so if you want an amazing adventure with lot's of fun with like minded people then Glasto is for you.
Don't just think about it next year...get yourself tickets and go.
It really is worth the effort.
I hear the headline bands are already booked...and I can't wait.
Until next time.

Manifesting Change

Hello again
I went to a great seminar this week - it was all about the law of attraction...we could all do with a bit of that!!!!!
In a nutshell it's about visualising the impact of receiving all the things you want in your life...and I mean ALL.
So visualise the impact of getting whatever you really, really want and it arrives. It's that easy!
The seminar was called Manifesting Change and was delivered by a guy called Mike Dooley. You might want to check out his website www.tut.com where you can sign up for daily notes from the universe. They're a great boost for the day...I love them.
Have been doing a bit of visualising myself lately and it works for me ;-)
Take care and have a great Bank Holiday weekend.

Glastonbury 2007

Hello there
Just wanted to let you all know that I was successful in my mission to get tickets to the festival for myself and 4 of my friends...I'm so excited and can't wait to be there.
It was a bit hairy as I wasn't able to get the final ticket till last Thursday. It took me an hour to calm down so that I could get on with some work after getting the ticket...I was like a dog with two tails.
I've been a few times now and it's become a bit of a pilgrimage for me.
Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't rain!!!!
Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine.
Much love (getting back to my hippy roots ;-P)

After a few days in Devon walking over the cliffs and on the sandy beach, it was hard to come back to work, especially after those large teas with thick clotted cream and bright red jam. However, the lure of the river at West India Key and more sunshine prevailed and here I am back at my desk.

I've had conversations with lovely people in the process of checking the contact details on our database. The saying 'you get back what you give' comes to mind and I know it's true. So keep smiling and we'll talk soon.

More Sunshine

The weather here is phenomenal. Sunny and warm. And it's so quiet today as lots of people are on holiday. Perhaps they are skiing in the French Alps. Look what they are missing at West India Quay.

I was a bit perturbed at the weekend when my friend told me a lot of the 11-year-olds round Stratford, East London carry knives. Her son is scared to go out. It reminds me that good communication, and understanding where someone else is coming from, is so important, not only in sales, but in life too. I doubt any of our clients would threaten us with knives, though!!

Keep talking and listening!

New directions

Dear all

I'm knocked out by the glorious sunshine today and the sense of calm outside our office. What a contrast to the hustle and bustle of Canary Wharf shopping centre where people brush past each other in a rush.

Every day I walk from the station, I feel uplifted by the river, the seagulls circling over head, the boats moored there and the little suspension bridge over from our peaceful haven to the other side. Isn't Leigh clever to have rented this place.

I've discovered the delights of Docklands diner where coffee is served with a laugh and you can get a real breakfast for less than four quid. Hey who needs those bars for all the city slickers. And Danny in the management office who has lived round here for years. I feel at home amongst true Londoners like myself.

I'm Alison. I've just started in the office, taking over parts of Maria's job while she is on adoption leave. She had so much to do before she left, never mind psyching herself into being a new parent. Leigh and Maria gave me a great induction, and I already feel part of the family. Learning the dynamics is all part of the job.

I've already learned so much from watching and listening to Leigh about how to approach people on the phone, getting feedback, setting goals, never mind all the other stuff. What's lovely is that they focus on what's really important - the customer. And they are always so upbeat which lifts my spirits.

So please do get in touch and tell me about your business. I'm always up for a chat and I really hope we can work together.

changes are acoming!

Hello

It's been a long time since I last posted any thing here! Sorry!

Well - my life is just about to change forever - I am just about to adopt 2 beautiful little girls and I can't wait!

It has taken about two years to get to this stage and it really has been a journey. Both me and my husband, Rene, have learnt so much about ourselves and others. And we have met some great people on the way too!! Always a bonus to be around people who understand what you are going through.

I'll keep you updated as things go on......

muse concert

Went to see Muse at Wembley Arena recently and they were absolutely brilliant. They had the audience eating out of their hands by playing songs that everyone knew and could sing along to.
What an amazing band they are...so musically talented and innovative in their approach.
Just heard that they are playing at Wembley Stadium next June and wanted to say to all you music fans out there...GET TICKETS NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!
You won't be sorry.
All the best to you.

PS Forgot to mention that I've moved to a flat that overlooks Epping Forest...it's fab!
