Every month I spend two days doing something that makes me a better coach and leader. In these two days I train leaders to become coaches. These leaders already have an established career, are at the top of their game, and have made significant impact in their industry. There are multiple...

In the last 7 days I have been in 4 different cities: London, Jeddah, Mecca, and Madinah; what have I learned?

They say you learn a lot about someone when you travel with them, it is true. The cities I have visited are full of travelers and those who live there for work purposes. At the end of...

I don't know about you but September is the month where I notice the change of season the most. From Summer into Autumn, regardless of how the weather is outside. It is the change from holiday season to work, from one phase of school or education for many families, from this to that. One of the...

This week I have been reflecting on time, what time is, the value of it, and how we treat it. 

Let me give you an example. I have 2 tasks of equal quality and quantity, They both require the same amount of effort and time from me... in theory! 

Now here is where it gets interesting: the...

Last Sunday I was getting ready to travel and I am going to be real with you – I said ‘yes’ to too many things so it was Wednesday by the time I was able to start writing The Space. In the end, I thought it was better to apologize to you now rather than write something rushed...

I saw an old friend and commented on how amazing she looked. She always looks great but this time something was different...

She said she went for some personal styling at John Lewis... I thought let me do the same.

Being a hijabi and seeing how flexible their clothing range has become have me...

"The idea behind our work is to help leaders to show up more fully in the workplace — and in every dimension of their lives — with their identity and integrity hand in hand."

— How do we show up with more of who we are?

—How do we belong in a world that wants us to...

In my work I talk a lot about goals, ambition, implementation, measurement, and achievement.

This may be a side of me that you know, but not in the way I am about to share with you...

Very few leadership advisors and coaches have a background in project management and delivery like I do. As...

Yesterday I spent a day at a conference where there was a lot of similarity between me and the other delegates and also a lot of difference.

One thing I noticed very clearly in myself was the emergence of a richer, deeper, more complete understanding of why I became a coach. In my previous...

(The pictures above are : 1 & 2 — me after a workout where I pulled 100kg back and forth several times; 3 & 4— a walk with a friend and her dog in Epping Forest; 5, 6 & 7 — nature on the journey from Kings Cross to my home. I love thistles :-) )

(The pictures above are from a celebration outing that a few of us had last week. We went to see The Moonwalkers: A journey with Tom Hanks, followed by (non-alcoholic) drinks and dinner. It was awesome!)

One of the most amazing things about the Wild Pilgrim adventure to Knoydart was the...

(The pictures above are a few from 1000+ images I took of my travels to Fort William, Inverie, Mallaig, and Knoydart Peninsula in Scotland)

24 hours late. I know. And also right on time. 

I landed back in the 'real world' two days ago, after a week of wild camping, no internet, and moving...
