My Goal Setting Online Workshop is now for sale in my Wisdom Store for those who wanted to attend but missed it. It's now February and most New Year's resolutions are starting to wane. Find out how you can set realistic goals and turn this powerful life habit into an exciting way of life.

A goal is what turns a general sense of purpose into a specific achievement. Goals restore a strong sense of hope, power and progress in our lives. They forge a way for us to get the reins of our life, to really get a life, and to row rather than drift. But to do this demands that we get into the ha...

Ready to learn more about healthy assertiveness?
I invite you to join me on November 18th at 7 pm (Brisbane time). If you want responses in the moment and dignified appropriate reactions, this workshop is for you.
The format will be one hour of teaching and 45 minutes of Q&A.

In any relationship, having a healthy balance of power is key. But how do you maintain that balance, especially when dealing with challenging or overbearing people? Assertiveness is the skill that helps you protect your boundaries without needing to resort to anger or shutting down. This workshop wi...

We all have hundreds of 'fusions' or 'welds' in our mind so what are they? A 'fusion' or 'weld' is when two different concepts have been 'fused' together through an experience or our perception of the experience. Basically, this means that the brain can't tell the difference between two different concepts. For example, many people feel guilty when they are relaxing, or when they are taking care of themselves. Their mind is having trouble telling the difference between selfishness and self-care. We can 'weld' a particular town or place to bad times or we confuse correction with rejection and so on.
When it comes to healthy assertiveness there are some common fusions that will block us from our goal of being honest - kindly. We need to teach the mind to tell the difference between the two concepts. Once they are separated we can move forward in our assertiveness journey.

For success in life, love and all relationships, you need these 3 vital life skills. In my 20+ years of counselling, I have discovered how few people can do these well. When I discovered Living Wisdom 24 years ago, I was one of those people and the dysfunction in my life and relationships showed my lack of understanding. These skills greatly decrease the chances of hurt and breakdown while amazingly, quite naturally, producing a healthy balance of power and a life without resentment. Sound good? Journey with me over the next several weeks to grow and learn about life skill #3. HEALTHY ASSERTIVENESS. You can purchase teachings about all three of these subjects in my website shop, using the link in my page details.

I would love you to join me this October for a powerful look at healthy assertiveness. What is it, exactly? What isn't it? What if I hate conflict? Maybe you think you have tried to be assertive and it didn't work. We will explore these concepts and more.

A big thanks to Matt Stott (Soul Tour) for producing this stylish, easy-to-pick-up magazine containing 152 wisdom quotes by David Riddell (Living Wisdom Dean, NZ). This is more than a nice magazine for your coffee table, toilet or waiting room. When a 'truth coach' hits a deeply subconscious lie it has the potential to bring profound and sustainable change.
Here is one of the insights to go with our theme for October.
"My willpower is only as strong as the insight and wisdom that it feeds on. The more reasons I can find to do the right thing, the stronger my self-control will be."

Believing they are ‘Dumb’ is a very crippling misbelief for children. You can help your kids overcome this lie by helping them replace it with truth:
⭐There is nothing wrong with my brain. EVERYONE has the ability to learn.
⭐I am only as dumb as I believe. If I believe I can learn – I can!
⭐I am not stupid and with help... I can learn ways to learn that work for me.

Our Dumb Lie Truth Cards for children will help you teach this truth to the children in your care and set them up for successful learning. You can find out more by visiting the Dumb Lie Truth Card product pages in my website shop, using the link in my page details.

Hi, I'm back in the lucky country. It is time to move my mind and body from holiday to work. That isn't difficult because I love my job. I am now available again for counselling and you are welcome to go onto my appointment calendar (link below) and book a time and day that works for you. At this stage, I am not offering face-to-face appointments as I am still nomadic and unsure each week where I will be. This will be the case until the new year. I am taking on new clients and connecting with previous ones. I am here to help, inspire, challenge, encourage and equip. Lots of love to you all and thank you for your support over the years. It is hard to believe I have been counselling for just over 22 years now!
