When we think about finding our way, of having the right directions we may think of Sat Nav or Google maps. If we’re old school we might be drawn to maps and atlases. Hopefully we’ll have a bit of a sense of direction and a little bit of luck too. Yet there’s something deeper and...

‘If I can dream…of a better land…’ so sang Elvis Presley in his 1968 Comeback Special. A gospel song that contains a powerful call for beauty, harmony, sisterhood and brotherhood. It calls for belief that we do deserve something better than we are creating now. More than that, it invokes that better world. We often...
Influencing for the greater good can seem a lofty, distant aspiration for most of us. It may seem a far country that’s the province of those with great power or fame, and/or with seemingly god given talents, or perhaps those who’ve discovered their purpose, live it with a passion for, and dedication to, making things...
Whilst discussions about Purpose are far more in evidence these days, the true understanding of one’s own Purpose and an organisation’s Purpose is rarely arrived at through intellectual or rational discourse.

Optimism in the face of the many challenges we see in the world around us can be in short supply. Even the more minor inconveniences we encounter in our daily lives can add to the sense of overwhelm. So, we must look beyond the deluge of negative headlines and the distressing behaviours, practices and happenings...
Radiance is often a word we associate with young people or brides…that sense of the light shining in the eyes and the whole face alive as if there is no way to contain the inner power and vitality flowing through that person. We experience their magnetism and it’s almost contagious. There are other times though...
