When I recorded The Seven Secrets of Increasing Personal Energy as an online course perhaps the standout secret was physical energy. We all know that sleep, nutrition and exercise can influence how we perform in work and life but many of us lack a system that can improve our physical energy levels.
In this short video I share a very simple system developed by Brendon Burchard…
Burchard is the author of The Charge and The Motivation Manifesto so he knows a thing

Elite athletes know all about pushing themselves to extreme limits. But there is another mantra that they live their lives by which could serve us all. Not only do they train hard – but they also recover hard. Stretching yourself and increasing your personal energy is one thing but you also have to build in recovery time. Tied to the 5 energy sources this is better known as soul.
In this video I describe soul in more detail…
When you are in touch

The law of attraction is a well known concept but it is misunderstood. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (book and film) is a great starting point. But I need to stress that you do have to take action as well as visualising a desired result. Actually the law of attraction could be more accurately described as Quantum Entanglement. A quick look at this scientific theory not only gives credibility to this concept but also adds to precision to designing the

Over the years I have come across plenty of personality profiles. Many of which go into detail, this is often helpful when we first look at the reports but more often than not this information is not retained long term. Which is why I like to keep things simple and ask – which way does your energy flow?
This short video is a extract from from my most recent online course – The 7 Secrets of Increasing Personal Energy: Introduction.
Here we establish whether

We’ve been making the distinction between coaching and mentoring for some time. Rightly so, even if sometimes it feels like semantics. If we can drive a fine line between the two, a coach who questions, listens and observes. A mentor who does more of the same, but can offer his/her life stories as inspiration. They’ve been there, done it and bought the t-shirt, battle scars that might guide a mentee. In this short video I pose the question – is

Life’s lessons are all around us, many of which are present in the media as long as you are prepared to search for them. I was watching the film Fight Club (1999) the other day, if you are prepared to look beyond some quite gruesome scenes as well as stand out performances from Pitt and Norton then be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of authenticity. A quick recap of the plot reminds us that Norton (an insomniac office worker) is looking for a

What I am going to share with you sounds too good to be true. And of course if someone responds in this way they often ignore the sound advice, compelling as it might sound. Well ladies and gentlemen the science of flow and optimal performance does sound too good to be true. But watch and read on as I present to you 3 numbers which I think can totally change the way you approach your life.
Let’s start with the bad news.

I was listening to a podcast recently where I heard this question for the first time – how’s your soul? I admit it is an odd question, a head scratcher or if you’ll excuse the pun soul searching. But given that I work with soul as one of the 5 energy sources (the others are body, heart, mind and spirit) I was was willing to hold onto the question and reflect.
The answer? Pretty good, apart from one thing. I had

Have you ever made yourself a cup of tea or coffee at work only to blindly pick up the half empty vessel an hour later to be greeted by a cold cup!? If you reactions are fast your lips will quickly sense the danger at hand, a nano second slower and you’ll find yourself politely spitting your drink back into the cup or having to face up to your mistake and swallowing without a grimace. Where did the time go? What was

Seth Godin is a prolific writer and alternative thinker. His library of books are a sight to behold and when I heard about his new project I was hooked. What To Do When It’s Your Turn (and it’s always your turn) challenges the norm. It’s a full colour book in the form of a magazine, provoking and beautiful. And if that wasn’t enough Godin has encouraged us to consider buying multiple copies at a discounted price so that we can share
