Write It Out - Together

Judging from the response to the articles I have been writing about my Grammar school teacher Miss Bonely and my inner judge-tormentor-cockroach, I can tell there’s a lot of people who’d like to do the same. They'd like to get a firm handle on their dementors (to borrow a Harry Potter phrase).

So let's Write It Out. It’s time to make life inhospitable for our inner persecutors.

Join a group of the sick-and-tired-of-feeling-criticised that wants to flip the script and rewire those nasty neural pathways.

We were born with the creative ability to know We are OK the way we are (to quote Dr. Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence).

Why spend time with me?

1. I am a holder of an Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Journalism, if you are impressed by such trophies. A Murrow is the highest honour given to a journalist in the United States - not bad for a Canadian born in Northern Ireland.
2. I write every day, for pay and for myself.
3. I am a professional communicator with over thirty years as a TV broadcaster at CTV news and almost ten as a certified coach. (I hold a PCC credential from International Coach Federation, and a CPQC credential from Positive Intelligence.)
4. I am a contributor to Leonard Cohen:Untold Stories at Simon and Schuster.
5. There's more, but I am British, therefore modest (mostly).

I’d like to welcome you to join me to Write It Out. On Wednesday at 7pm EDT we will write together, because there’s safety in numbers, especially a gang determined to reclaim our inner wisdom. We will keep in mind that we are OK the way we are and be kind and loving to ourselves.

Price $35, but on Wednesday you are invited - at no charge. My compliments :)
