Perfection seems like a good thing to aim for. Any message or movement should be of the highest quality. Unfortunately perfectionism is also killing progress. I remember when I went to university for the first time. I’d had my parents doing my care at home. Leaving home meant having strangers helping me in the most… Continue Reading
Keep on Storytelling
Whether on the newly launched Daily Sib, my World Changer Wednesday posts, through my podcast, via social media posts, the big keynote talks, or in community and client conversations; I’m always telling stories… Stories connect people. Stories carry messages. Stories are emotive. Stories are memorable. Stories can lead to change. On Disability Horizons we’re telling… Continue Reading
Values and Beliefs
I was in a session at Mindvalley University in Croatia. It was run by the founder Vishen Lakhiani. The topic was on the code of the extraordinary team. Building on Vishens principles from the code of the extraordinary mind. It was a much needed reminder on understanding our beliefs, values and essentially our culture. All… Continue Reading

A big reason for me wanting to learn about this subject, is to inform my disability activism today. “We have to understand the past to shape… Continue Reading
Small acts of kindness
On Monday I went to Arundel house hotel in Cambridge for a client meeting. What a place too! Unfortunately there was a small (but big enough) step to the conference rooms. A couple of builders were working on the door. As we surveyed the barrier, they must have caught wind of the problem. We headed… Continue Reading
Ann Hawkins – Networking for impact
Networking has been around forever. Early homo sapiens understood that together survival was more likely. Literally. A tribe could more easily defend itself from predators. A tribe could hunt more effectively. A tribe generally was better than going solo. Today we don’t struggle so much with predators or going hunting. Aside from a pub fight… Continue Reading
