Why Stop Bitching When it is Therapeutic?
I was facilitating a team-building session when an interestingly hostile participant threw this spanner: “My leader is obliged to hear me bitch about things at work! It is therapeutic and allows me to work better!” Being the hard-headed fool that I am, I nodded my head in acknowledgement of her comment. Effectively attracting the spanner to fly [...]

The year is coming to a close. While it has been a a year where not much has been acheived, win some lose some they say…. It has neverthelessly been a year of many spiritual and emotional lessons and growth for me. I have gone on a hiatus in search of my own voice and identity [...]

Tuesday, April 18, 2006
Last night I slept and I dreamt. It’s a wonderful dream: I am victorious and claiming the Treasure after vanquishing the Evil One. I would love to stay in that dream. Who wouldn’t? I was jerked back into Reality when someone dropped this on Me and was rendered unconscious. It documents what I am to expect for the journey [...]

Thursday, April 13, 2006
I am taking a tentative step out of the Ordinary World in response to the Call to Adventure. I am aware and it has become painful enough…even to realise that it’s going to be too painful to do anything. BUT… Where the fuck is my Wise Mentor like they say there will be? No fairy-god-mother-look-alike, wand-waving, sagely [...]

Wednesday, April 12, 2006
I stare out in the Ordinary World. Watching it as it passes me by, not even being aware of what’s happening around me. I have been conditioned to be numb, to think small, to do only the required and sometimes even falling short of it. I am defender of the status quo, basking in the security [...]

Friday, January 13, 2006
When was the last time you decide that you have to change something about or around you? How did you decide to change? There were something that you decided at a certain point that you want to do more of, to have less of, to move away from, to go towards to…you decided that you deserve [...]

Saturday, January 7, 2006
Without being politically correct (it’s not one of my forte anyway), and to be totally honest, I don’t think there is such a thing as positive feedback. To cover both side of the coin, there is no such thing as negative feedback. Feedbacks are just observations, given at the end of significant actions or events. For [...]

Sunday, December 11, 2005
In some LGAT (Large Group Awareness Training) and indeed in many coaching methodology, the word TRY is somewhat like a banned word. Many like to quote the green guru of 800 years old of the Star Wars fame: “Do, or do not. There is no TRY!” Yoda said it right. The argument is that TRY presupposes the possibility [...]

Tuesday, November 29, 2005
I wanted to write about Procrastination. You know, the big P word that people have blamed for everything and anything. So many people have written about it…the personal effectiveness people, the Getting-Things-Done camp, the procrastination busters and it makes me wonder if I can offer anything different. So I joined the union. The Procrastinator United couldn’t [...]

Tuesday, November 22, 2005
Looks like the NGR series, (actually it’s meant to be part of the Attitude Adjustments (AA) series that I plan to write,) has taken off on it’s own spin in it’s own axis so I’m sort of rolling with the punches here. NGR has taken to mean a lot of different things to many people. For [...]
