I was faced with a challenge recently and was procrastinating regards making a swift choice. Too often we try to think a problem through, when our original response is probably the right one. So I started weighing up the pros and cons, the upside of a good outcome and compared it with the downside […]

I recently read a book, How To Get Rich by Felix Dennis, which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is seriously keen to make a personal fortune. I like to read biographies, and though this book is not him telling his life story, it is the story of how he became one of the […]

My godson Charlie is 9 years of age, and in the past year I have noticed some remarkable changes in him. He has developed firm opinions of his own, which I am pretty sure I didn’t have until much later in life, in fact I think there are still a few issues where I sit […]

During my summer vacation. I went to a farmhouse in the north west of Scotland near a place called Loch Carron, you can look it up in Google Earth – very remote. A picnic was organised up in the mountains by a loch (which is a Scottish word for lake).

She wanted to pose a question to the delegates, which was […]

I spoke at a dinner recently, which is unusual for me, as after dinner presentations are where once upon a time how I got into speaking in public. I was a comedy writer for radio and tv, and was often asked to speak after dinner to 'do the funny stuff'.
I left television and […]

I decided over the Easter Weekend to go to Spain to get some coaching from the current world champion skydivers, who are based in a small town called Empuriabrava. I also took some work, (a new book that has to be finished by the end of April) and looked forward to a relaxing […]

Last weekend the first retreat I have shared with others took place in Buckinghamshire in the UK, and ten people attended. It was a most enjoyable experience, though towards the end I was a little concerned about losing my voice.
It is good to take time to step out of our normal everyday routine, and spend […]
