I’d like to ask for your help if I may. Books need readers, for said books to have a ripple effect out into the world. That ripple effect comes from people making changes to the way they act as a result of what they have read. And the more people who read a book and
Writing
Why am I writing this book?
This post is an extract from my Autumn release book about Coachability (title still TBD). It will give you a hint of what awaits you! I’m driven to innovate, to think afresh, to be a bit edgy and provocative. You might experience that provocation as you read this book. At the same time, I have
Lessons from three book launches
I had never been to a book launch before I went to my own. So I didn’t really know what went on. Therefore I didn’t know how to run one! I’ve just looked up best practices on the internet now – not sure why I didn’t do that before. But frankly, there isn’t anything particularly

You’ll know by now that I have a new book coming out in September, The Transformational Coach: free your thinking and break through to coaching mastery [insert link]. The title of a book has so much resting on it, not least of which is to grab the potential buyers’ attention and convince them that they
My writing journey
Given my recent award for a series of articles in Coaching at Work (links at the bottom of this post), I thought you might be interested in how I got here. How I got to being an award-winning writer. Gosh, that sounds grand. I need and want to own that – I am an award-winning
