Silencing the Monkey Mind’s Nocturnal Swirls

A colleague just mentioned his sleepless night writing emails and pitch copy in his dreams. Can you relate to his turmoil? How often do nocturnal mental dances dominate your wee hours?

What’s safer, your Ego or your Intuition?

What will you do next? Try simply focusing on the next right thing…

Atop my dusty attic shelf stands a well-leafed, well-loved storybook about a teddy bear separated from his owner working out how to stop being and feeling so lost. His little, furry self is overwhelmed by the magnitude of the world and its apparent lack of signposting. But then eureka! He spots a path then knows what to do next, to…

The Sober Decision. There isn’t sunshine at the bottom of that glass after all.

Why alcohol makes life so much harder and the book that changed my attitude to it forever. I’ve always been sober curious. So many in our industry are. Are you? I’ve devoured tomes on the topic of booze from biographies of famous sober idols (Rob Lowe my most indulgent guilty pleasure), to graphic and shocking analyses of high functioning alcoholics,…

Shame on you Google! Firing a top performer on the grounds of process is lamentable.

Process has its place but not when it inhibits progress. Sivan Hermon had more awards than years of service under her belt at Google. A decade of consistently rising stardom, endless recognition from above, below and across the industry, her impact was awarded publicly time and time again followed by resplendent Googler career progression.
