I never…

… cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable

“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”

An empowered….

… organisation is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organisational success

– Stephen R. Covey 

A person…

…. who never made a mistake never tried anything new

– Albert Einstein

In times of…

…. change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
