Sitting one evening in O’Neill’s pub in Kings Cross, London. O’Neill’s… ME? This is your brunch in Fortnum & Mason’s kinda girl… Live the life you want, I say. Not a sticky tabled, cacophonous roaring den of wi-fi paradise burger and chips laced with lager glasses. Plus, when I was a young woman, no respectable woman would be seen dead at night in Kings Cross! Read more…
Here I am, sitting at my laptop… no iPad for me as I love the sensual taptaptap of the keys in response to my fingers. And as I digress, I remind myself that we all need to digress on purpose sometimes.
No, it’s not a bad thing however much you were told to ‘PAY ATTENTION!’ or ‘STOP DREAMING!’
You and I need digression to keep our Passion juicily nourished. And, incidentally, help the little grey cells to keep firing on target.
I’m talking about cross-fertilisation here…
A cross fertilisation of ideas, perceptions and attitudes which sometimes might challenge you but will always help you to stay fresh to learning and the worlds inside and outside of you..
So, if you’re a Conservative read something from the socialist press. If you’re a gym bunny give track running a go. If you’re into child rearing, go listen to some classical music after the latest bout of ‘I want, I want…’ and hear what it tells you. If you’re into personal development studies… like me… go read a swash buckling novel or a sci-fi fantasy and check out the new message it has to inform your work.
To paraphrase the amazing Mae West, “A bit of digression can be wonderful!”
Your Passion demands of you curiosity, creativity and playfulness…
We are a Master Mind Group of women. We meet on Skype. We catch up with news… delighting in our collective ‘wins’ and supporting our collective challenges. We share our knowledge, our contacts and our experiences… generously. We laugh, cry and embrace collectively too.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) emphasises the need for rapport in relationships. Throughout history major philosophies and psychologies made the same point. The Greeks talked about it… and Neanderthal Man probably grunted about it too.
But you can’t create rapport by mechanically carrying out some physical gestures matching or mirroring the other. Or by similar devices with their use of language.
You have to feel rapport with your Passion for real rapport to happen… Read more…
If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing at work… or anywhere else for that matter… you’re in trouble!
The bottom line of fulfilling work is that it contains an expression of your passion… Your mission on earth, your beam-me-up-Scottie! And that comes from your Passion, your vital life energy geyser; the pulsating life energy which flows through your arteries and veins. Read more…
Have a core team of colleagues, and personal friends, who have the qualities of a rich, supportive and solid inner circle. And I do mean solid… None of those flaky or emotional vampire or what’s-in-it-for-me meanies! Read more…
Explosive. Me… catching myself spinning somewhere out in the Universe so maxed up with energy the entire world Coca Cola stocks wouldn’t have been enough to get me there.
Alive… sooo alive, sexy and full of Passion… Read more…
