  • Sit in the silence with Aila Coats
    Jul 13 2025

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    How often have you given yourself permission sit in silence and take stock?

    In the latest episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast with my guest, Aila Coats, we kept coming back to this idea.

    Aila is a colleague and teacher of mine from Mississauga the idyllic Tahoe National Forest in California. Aila is a professional coach who mainly works with teens and coaches looking to grow their businesses.

    I just love hosting this podcast. I get to hang out with, and learn from some wonderful people and this episode is no different. Aila and I discuss learning from the “course” of life: both the path it takes but also paying attention to the opportunity from the curriculum that is always unfolding around us.

    I’d love what you’ve taken time to explore what is possible for you by exploring the silence?

  • Moments in time with Greg Fisher
    Jun 29 2025

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    How often have you given yourself permission to notice moments in time?

    This was something that came up in the latest episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast with my guest, Greg Fisher.

    Greg is a good friend and colleague from Mississauga in Ontario, Canada. Hi is a Coach, “Chief Potential Officer” and the author of a couple of books (details in the show notes).

    During the episode my conversation with Greg ranges from adventures to forgiveness, from parenting to Star Wars and all wrapped up in a gratitude for the times we live in and the opportunities that allows us to create and share with others.

    What we have both noticed as we’ve looked more deeply into how to serve our clients, is the capacity that lies in every singe moment. We get to create in every moment. In fact, that is all we do in every moment… but most of us don’t realise that’s the case.

    I’d love what you’ve noticed when you’ve been able to explore the moment you are in and what you’ve created from that there?

  • Direction over detail with Vanessa Rubera
    Jun 15 2025

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Have you got lost in the details and lost sight of the direction you originally set off in?

    That is something my latest guest, Vanessa Rubera, and I regularly see with our clients and is the topic of the latest episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast.

    Vanessa isa good friend and mentor from Vermont in the USA. She is a Clarity Coach and the author of “Conversations with a Camel”.

    During the episode Vanessa and I touch on the power of coaching and that as coaches, our main ole is to hold space knowing that neither our clients or ourselves know the answer… the answer comes from us collectively slowing down and seeing what can be created from there.

    We all have the capacity to set a direction that feels right and be comfortable in the not knowing of how we get there. Unfortunately, what usually happens, we lose sight of the direction and become overly focused on the details. As General Dwight D Eisenhower is famously quoted as saying: “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.”

    I’d love to hear how looking at the bigger picture of the direction of travel has served you over getting lost in the details of how to get there?
