How kindness will make you more confident May 3, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Spirituality

I can’t believe it’s May already! This month we’re going to be exploring kindness; the fifth topic in our year-long series about the qualities and principles that make up true, genuine confidence. What is kindness? The dictionary comes up with definitions that focus on how our kindness affects others, for example, “kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate,” and, “kindness is a behaviour marked by ethical characteristics, a pleasant disposition, and concern…

What it takes to have a successful relationship April 25, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Relationships

As part of my month of looking at love and our relationships with others, I’m excited to share with you a guest blog from my dear friend and fellow coach, Ané Auret, on making love work in intimate relationships. As a dating and relationship coach I work with people every day on helping them overcome what is holding back from finding the person they want to spend their life with. The things that drive the…

Do you think GET-DO-BE? April 18, 2016 – Posted in: Advice, Confidence, Personal Development, Relationships, Spirituality

Over the years I’ve often seen quotes suggesting that in order to attract true love into your life you have to ‘be’ true love in your life. And this used to really confuse me. But, I think I understand it a bit better now. As a culture we’re programmed to think that we will ‘be’ a certain person once we ‘get’ a certain thing.

When self-love seems impossible… March 30, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Personal Development

As we come to the end of self-love month I wanted to tell you about something that happened to me just yesterday. Because sometimes (oftentimes) we need the love and guidance of another person in order to recapture our sense of self-love.

Self love starts with acceptance… March 21, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Personal Development

Are you someone who is always waiting to get to that magical place called ‘there’? You know the place I mean… “When I’m promoted (‘there’), I’ll be confident.” “When I marry my soulmate (‘there’), I’ll be happy.” “When I’ve paid off the mortgage (‘there’), I’ll feel settled.” “When I’ve had a baby (‘there’), I’ll be contented.” “When I’m perfect (‘there’), I’ll start loving myself…”

Forgiving other people is an act of pure SELF love March 14, 2016 – Posted in: Advice, Confidence, Relationships

I’ve been doing a lot of work away from home recently and last week I got chatting to a couple of guys over our hotel breakfasts. I love meeting new people and these guys were fascinating. Both were in their early forties, both had been married and gone through similarly painful divorces over a decade ago, both were dads and both worked hard travelling the UK with their jobs.

What has self-love got to do with confidence? March 9, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Relationships

Somebody asked me last week why I was writing about self-love when I’m a confidence coach. They couldn’t see the link, and for many years I don’t think I could see the link either. I can now.

How to start loving yourself March 3, 2016 – Posted in: Advice, Confidence, Personal Development

If you read Tuesday’s post about the benefits of self-love, you’ll know that I promised to start giving you tips on how you might start the life-long process of learning to be good to yourself today. I’ll be exploring this topic in depth throughout March, and today we’ll make a start together…

The truth about fear February 24, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Personal Development

One of the things I do as a coach is help people to manage their fear in healthier ways. This is something I continue to learn how to do myself, because we can all get lost in fear. Today, I know how to get out (should I choose to). Here’s an excerpt from my soon-to-be-published book, Flying for Beginners…

Are you telling yourself the truth? February 15, 2016 – Posted in: Confidence, Personal Development

One of the most exciting aspects of my job is helping people to be truthful with themselves… It’s fascinating just how many lies we tell ourselves and how these lies disempower us.
