Life coaching to find your happy
For about the last year I have been writing a book, and I’m loving it. It helps that I am writing with my best friend Kay Woodburn, Managing Director of Gritty People.

I’m so excited, I can hardly wait to share this with you!
If you’ve read my blog, “What is coaching”, you’ll already know that coaching is about answering questions. As a coach, I ask you questions that will help you gain new insight into whatever is going on for you.

We’ve all heard of the comfort zone and experienced the discomfort of stepping out of it.
Why is it important to keep on stepping out? Let’s start by exploring the zones.
Are you putting things off, waiting for motivation to strike?
Where does motivation come from and why does it wear off?
I was once told that motivation is a door that is locked from the inside. In other words, only you can unlock it. No-one else can motivate you. All that other people can do is help create an environment where you can motivate yourself. So how can you find the key?
