It's always a weird experience for me, watching myself on a recording.  It can also be a rewarding experience, which this one most definitely is. I mentioned that I spoke at the Spirit of Coaching recently and I found the experience great.

This was one of my most honest and frank interviews, where I share some of my life challenges.

Well they recorded the session and I am very pleased to say that I can share it with you now. After the introduction I am the first speaker to talk, however do watch the whole of the recording as there is  a great question and answer session at the end.

Nina and Geoff are also great speakers with very interesting stories. Enjoy!

I had to do a talk this week on spiritually at a 'Spirit Of Coaching' event, which was held at Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University in London.

It was a wonderful experience.  I got great feedback from the audience with regards to my talk, "Thank you for giving your time so generously to the Spirit of Coaching event last Sunday. People really enjoyed your very honest, direct, practical approach based on many years of helping other people as well as your wisdom and ability to put things across so clearly and concisely. We all loved your distinction between self development and shelf development!" John McConnel, however I felt I got as much out of the event as the audience.

One of the most profound times of the day was on the hour every hour some relaxing music came on over the audio system and everyone had to stop what he or she were doing and reflect for one minute.  They call it 'Traffic Stopping'.  I thought this was wonderful as it allowed me to take a minute out, pause and reflect.

The pace of life can sometimes take you over and reflective minutes like that can be very useful in bringing you back inline with yourself.  A great experience for me, one I would most certainly do again.
