Taking time to reflect and celebrate

It's Sunday evening, and as I do most Sundays, I am taking some time to check out what's happening in the week ahead, and as I do so, I check back on what has been happening this month.

It's funny how we can get so caught up in what is coming next that we forget to recognise, let alone celebrate, what has happened.

I'm taking a few moments to recognise and celebrate what I've been up to the last few weeks and months. Not just because it's been a rich, full and adventurous time but because it's been almost two years since I embraced the world of the freelancers, and despite being away from the freelance world for over ten years and not really being sure what I was going to do, a lot has happened. The last few weeks and months reflect that which deserves recognition and celebration.

So what have I been up to?

Well, firstly, I am deep in planning for a fire event. This fire retreat will hold more than just walking the hot coals but dancing ourselves into a sexual trance and playing with our own inner magic with the amazing duo that is Todd Roache - PCC and Rebecca Lowrie . This will be a space to explore the spiritual work I have embarked upon over the last two years, including my recent learnings around the Akashic Records, with the brilliant Natasha Nicole Harris , but more on this later.

It's interesting that years ago, I would never have thought I would have found my way to hold all my work in harmony, it always felt like I had to choose, but now I have both my more spiritual side and my leadership side.

Recently I have become a lead facilitator with Ivy House London , and I love it. I get to spend my time supporting emerging leaders as we explore the wonderful world of Human Leadership with the Ivy House Program and Coaching. And with over 15 years of coaching experience and ten years of leadership positions, it feels like a match made in heaven.

And building on the coaching, I continue to learn and explore, spending time in Eindhoven on my coaching retreats with an amazing team of fellow students and a facility full of wisdom and love that is Intention Centrum voor Leiderschap en Coaching .

One of the things I love about learning is that I get to put it into action, it's not just theory, but I'm on the ground coaching with 64 Million Artists program, supporting academics and researchers on their next big idea.

I also get to play and plan new coaching workshops, which I've begun with Ruth Kudzi, MCC, MA, PGCERT and I can't wait to share our new creation with the world; it's gonna be so much fun and in-person right here in London in September.

But not only do I get to coach in my own private practice, Fan the Flames Coaching, and train coaches, but I also have the opportunity to supervise coaches as I work with the one and only Jenny Bird as an associate supervisor.

It seems almost like a dream to look back at the portfolio of work I have created over the last two years, and I can't leave out the great work I shared with More Happi and The Physical Intelligence Institute , plus the work yet to be delivered later this year with Elev-8 Performance .

As I read this back, I'm smiling, thinking, how on earth did I create all that, and how on earth do I have the time? Haha, well, I'm sure all of you can relate to the diary dancing that goes on; plus, I do actually take time out, days off, long lunches with friends and lots of coffee catch-ups too.

I feel blessed to have this richness of work, play and adventure in my life, and I hope you, too, take the time to recognise what you've achieved and, with that achievement, what is yet to come.
