Dreams Worth Dreaming - Visions and Values
When your imagination is engaged, energy is released, ideas flood in
and action becomes compelling - you become a vehicle for the manifestation
of a Vision. So how do you find a compelling Vision? Releasing your
imagination to roam free over the possibilities and potentials of something
that captures your attention is often where Visions begin. A single
individual ‘see’s’ how
something could be better, different, more uplifting, more fun. It might arrive
in your consciousness in a moment staring out a window, or in the face of an
overwhelming problem, as an answer to a question arising inside of you, as a
flash of inspiration - a seed. If that seed has ‘legs’ - if it’s
potent with life force, it will germinate and grow and you will find
yourself with all sorts of support invisible before that moment. This
is the magic of synchronicity, serendipity, meaningful co-incidence,
purpose, passion and commitment.

The Relationship with Your Physical State
In this article I want to move from the psychological to the physiological,
from the thinking to the being. In all parts of the world there
are continuing discussions about conservation of ecological systems,
and sustainability of the natural environment, and our responsibility
of protection and care of the planet earth. Read

come home, herewith a very few little ‘seeds’ for your ‘consciousness
garden’ going forward. Read

Leader as Facilitator, Coach, and Servant
Listening to conference speaker Matt Church, an Australian “Thought
Leader” (see www.thoughtleaders.com.au)
a few weeks ago, he made it very clear that Leadership and Innovation
are currently the key topics organisations are convinced are the most
valuable lever points for flourishing in our rapidly evolving environment. This
is not a matter of legislating ‘thou shalt now step up and be more
creative’. Read

The Very Real Value of Self Awareness
Self awareness has been said to be a profoundly important key to personal
and organisational success. Daniel Goleman is a leading authority
on this subject and he found from research done in 1995 that emotional
intelligence is twice as important as
IQ and technical skills, and what’s more, the higher up an organisation’s
hierarchy the more important our ‘EQ’ seems to be. Read

Challenging
our ‘Sacred
Cows’
‘Sacred cows’ are thoughts or people or customs that are
usually unreasonably immune from criticism. They
are the ‘no go’ zones in families and organisations and cultures. They
are the things that can make us cringe when an ‘innocent’ questions
or challenges or even raises them as a topic of discussion. Read full article >>
USING JUDGEMENT TO ACCELERATE GROWTH
To experience oneself as a ‘conscious evolutionary' or co-creator of
a lifetime is incredibly exciting because it puts us in the drivers seat
and aware we are in the drivers seat, centre stage, the architect
of our own life - a very different experience to that of passenger, audience
or slave! Read

THE ESSENCE OF RESILIENCE (and don't we need it now - in spades!)
Resilience seems to be a 'buzz word' at present. That sought after ability
to access a deep inner strength in the face of adversity, to have the resources
to 'bounce back' from set backs, these seem to be more and more important as
we face multiple challenges as individuals and as a species. Read

Composting
The Past So It Fertilises Your Future…
In talking about ‘conscious evolution’ - moving from unconscious
to conscious choice - I mentioned the idea of ‘composting the
past’
so it can fertilise rather than inhibit our future. Read

An Introduction
to Conscious Evolution
We all know what happens when you drop a pebble in a pond…there
are ripples. Imagine what happens when a larger than life avalanche leaps
into an ocean….seas rise and there are much bigger consequences.
