Last week I attended an interesting seminar on the topic of applying creativity in coaching and brainstorming. We did some hands-on workshops in the format of role-play. The results were astonishing. For example, for practice, I was asked to express my issue (role play) to my coach by my choice of a famous quote or […]

Today I attended an inspiring talk given by Kate Adie, one of the first female journalists in the U.K. known for her news coverage in countries in conflicts among many of her achievements. One excellent point she shared on the face of unfair treatment (she being the first high-profiled female journalist in a male-dominant field […]

In the coming year(s), I will be focusing more on my coaching work which is an extension of my keen interest in personal development. This very website will be enhanced with information on coaching and this blog will continue to be used for the sharing of my personal opinions on various topics (sometimes random – […]

Sometimes silence is gold. I can still recall clearly the first advice given to me by my editor friend Geoff right after my book publication. He advised me to take any feedback (in particular negative) with grace and not to start a debate/fight with anyone regarding his/her comments about the book. If I go down […]

Wearing different hats and playing different roles are useful skills to have in life. I need to put on a more “corporate” face in order to promote my book to strangers.
