Stumbling into the Future.

Share When I walk into a room to do a presentation I regularly ask a few questions before we get under way: “Who wants to live an amazing life?” (every hand goes up) “Who wants to have an amazing career?” (every hand goes up again) “Who wants incredible relationships?” (every hand) “Who wants more.” (every [...]

Lessons in Pain

Share Some of our best lessons come out of painful experiences.

Excess

Perhaps we don’t actually need a ‘better’ computer with more ram, mega-thingies, or gigga-wotsits.Maybe we don’t need a phone that makes [...]
