February is the month of love, and many of us start focusing on our romantic relationships and how satisfied we are at this time. So how we can have deeper more meaningful connections? Whether you are newly in a relationship, have been with your partner or married for some time, or even if you have yet to find that special person, speaking with a coach can be an enlightening process as you delve deeper into what you want from your relationship and what it's currently providing. It is likely...

It’s hard to deny: we’re all (well, most of us) a bit overly attached to our phones. Can you remember the last time you went somewhere without yours? I can’t. On average, we each check our phones more than 85 times across the day (with some studies putting that number as high as 150 times across the day for us millennials).

Have you ever stopped to consider why you’re constantly checking your phone? Is it for work, to keep up with friends and family? Maybe it’s just boredom or the fear...

Before exploring different aspects of personal values, let’s have a deeper look at what personal values really are. Often times when we think about personal values, our mind might make up a meaning such as 'My values are equal with how much I’m worth as a person'. Since the world in which we are living is mainly material, we might even come up with a specific measuring unit such as money to attach to our worth. Values have very little to do with money or any other obvious...

Recently I had the opportunity to speak at a networking event for consultants on the subject of planning and achieving your goals. It made me appreciate how closely linked these two things are. “If you have a vision but no plan, then you have a pipe dream” – Brian P Moran, The 12 Week Year 6 simple steps to plan and achieve your goals 1. Complete a Wheel of Life When I start my planning, I always being with completing a 'Wheel of Life' (you can easily find samples on...

We are all aware of how stress can impact our health and our bodies, leading to heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. But I think sometimes we forget how much it also impacts our daily lives and moods. I recently did a survey asking what the impact of stress and tension was on people's lives and here’s what I heard back: 

‘Headaches, fatigue, low mood’ ‘Anxious thoughts, disturbed sleep, eating too much!’ ‘Makes me ratty towards...

How long did your New Year's resolutions last? You took a break to spend time with family and friends over the winter holiday. You were away from work with time to spare and made some big plans for the coming year. Then January came crashing in with dark days and cold weather, and it's a struggle just to get to work, let alone make grand life changes. It's no surprise that many of us have given up on New Years Resolutions by mid-February, but don’t write those plans off yet....

It’s hard to deny; for those of us working a typical nine to five or freelancing full-time, we spend an extortionate part of our day sitting at our desks. An astonishing 81% of us spend up to nine hours each day at our desks, with 64% of us admitting our office environment has had a negative impact on our health.

With the average British working week lasting anywhere between 37 to 42 hours, we spend a lot of time at our desks throughout our working lives. While some researchers have...

Do you find yourself snapping, barking and in general, reacting aggressively over small little things? Are you the person in the office or at home that everyone is tip-toeing around? What's driving this irritability? Many common things can upset our mood. Maybe it's the cold winter weather, maybe you're 'hangry' (Yes, that's a real thing!) or maybe you've just had too many espressos today.  But the number one reason by far is lack of sleep. Sleep is one of the most essential things to...

It’s well and truly the season of goal setting. As many of us are focused on having our best year yet, the internet is full of advice on how to get really connected to your goals and achieve them. A popular technique is to visualise the end result of your goal. We hear of athletes visualising themselves crossing the finish line of the event they are training for. We also hear a lot about successful entrepreneurs who visualised themselves in their future mansion and built their way...
