The River

The River

We are delighted that you can now pre-order my new book Simplifying Coaching from the independent retailer Bookshop.org. Comes out 7th December.

For this lockdown, we have formed a household with my brother.  He knows this area well.  We are simply beginning to explore.

Every day last week he told me how to get to the river.  Everything felt so unfamiliar that his instructions were overwhelming...until we broke them down into bite sized pieces.  The first day I found the park. Then each day, I would ask him one additional step.   Sure enough by the end of the week I had done the whole walk down to the river - and beyond.  And can remember the way and make my own walks  - because I learned the route my way. 

Too many actions from one conversation can be too much. Sometimes knowing the next step is enough.

Love this line Claire: ‘Too many actions from one conversation can be too much. Sometimes knowing the next step is enough.’ Simple and profound!

    Malvern is a wonderful place to live. And it’s 30 floors on a Fitbit to walk to town! That’s about 300 feet.
