Do you let yourself get outside of your comfort zone often? When you do, what is it that pushes you out? Or perhaps pulls you out? And what makes you jump back in?
I know a lot of people that seem to live on the edge of comfort. They know what they want – and they know what it will take to get there, and from time to time they ‘stick their toe’ over the edge, but then retreat back into safety.
Let’s chat about safety for a minute. What does it mean to you? For a lot of people, they tell me safety means knowing what is coming up, or not tempting pain, or even not letting themselves or others down. Whatever your meaning of safety, I wonder if it works? (more…)

In the past 20 years that we’ve been training and coaching NLP we have met, helped, trained and shared with many thousands of people all over the world.

With no straight answers from Andrew, Emma paid her son’s teachers a visit.

A few weeks ago we met Emma. Her boss is Eric and he is sometimes challenging to work for. When he has life under control, he is actually a reasonable boss and friendly guy. For the past couple of months Eric’s boss has been on family leave and is expected back in about six weeks.

He often raises his voice to his employees at work and he knows that his wife and two children are getting the worst of him. When he gets home his temper flairs even more. To his way of thinking, he has been working hard all day, when he gets home he shouldn’t have to continue working. While he hasn’t been physically abusive toward his family, his words, attitude and overall demeanor toward them are damaging. (more…)
