Is your head in the sand?

Posted on 27. Jan, 2012 by Susan Wright.

Yesterday I came across two articles about work-life and the continual demands on time, energy, and effort. What I found somewhat discouraging, yet not surprising, is the 40 per cent that don’t employ strategies to manage their life and work.  I wanted to reach in and grab those 40 per cent and say: “I get [...]

A pain in the neck!

Literally I was in the midst of stretching and yawning at the same time while warming up a cup of coffee and snap – the pain in my neck came back with a vengeance! Over the years, I’ve suffered from the occasional muscle-skeletal flare up from my active lifestyle pursuits and as the familiar story [...]

What’s your position of influence?

We find ourselves in increasingly complex and chaotic times, and I have no doubt this is all part of our evolutionary path. The presence of global issues are like moving story boards, playing out daily; and yet, I find myself passively viewing and at the same time consciously desiring to make a difference. This can [...]

Conscious mindset for positive action

Over dinner with a client last night I was sharing my story of the past few weeks and realized the “reactionary” state we’ve been living in. After having a flood in our basement and a bunch of other unexpected events, we’ve been thrust into making decisions and taking action on items that typically would have [...]

What’s the meaning in this mess?

I so want to avoid the question, “What’s the meaning in this mess?” and really haven’t been in the mood to look at the past few weeks in a state of reflective appraisal. The plumber who’s been working at our house continues to say, “buy a lotto ticket” and I wonder if the simple act [...]

Choice is a Way to Change

This week marked the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day and this brought to mind an article I wrote a year ago for an ebook Authentic Success, Inspired Action celebrating the stories, inspiration and passion of women. It was this time last year that I participated in a movement to bring together women across the [...]

Let’s transform intention into a plan!

I couldn’t have said it any better! Just the other day, I invited a past coaching client to a workshop about ecology and cultural diversity and some of our correspondence contained these words: “explore, waiting to hear back, commitment, mark on my calendar, let me know…”  Then our next exchange was very different, we both [...]

Fall like you’re three!

I have boys so I know all about rough and tumble play, plus the art of getting up after a fall with a smile on the face and ready for more action! Oh to be three, there is no such thing as loathing about in failure and when they do, it’s really just a moment [...]

Belonging – our place

I’m a non-fiction reader and suppose that comes to no surprise given the focus of my interest and work. Recently, my husband pulled a familiar line to our son, “Why don’t you read something?” – gosh I heard that before, when I was young (his age) I wasn’t really an avid reader. My world existed [...]

Living local

I was inspired by a presentation at the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) today when the notion of discovering our place among a global world brought to mind the significance of local connection. As our connectivity broadens and disperses; it seems just as necessary to find roots in our own community. Over the past few [...]
