What PPE are you wearing

Aren't words powerful? Do you know your WHY - Your Purpose - WHY you are here? Do you have a feeling that there needs to be something else to this life? It's bigger than you, it's not actually achievable, but you want to do it anyway? Martin Luther King said "I Have a Dream" - what is your dream? Life is not about the end goal, it's about the experience as we transcend from one season to another. At the moment it may be winter and things may be tough, but it's just a season as you wait for the frost to thaw. The aim is to have a purpose, not for stuff but for Peace , Love and Freedom Not outwardly but within. When we love ourselves, when we love the spirit of who we are, warts and all we will find flow, happiness, it's called being present because it's a gift. God, Spirit the universe pick your creator they are just names, words. Those same people who you believe have the answers because they have position, author...

Wellbeing in the Work Place - Is it Working?

Image
   This blog is extremely personal because as a leader I don't think we have really got a grasp on what wellbeing is, so I think I am best starting by saying what it isn't. I have observed over the passed few months how "Wellbeing" in the public sector especially, has become a new fashionable phrase but in reality when you dig beneath the surface of most organisations you have the following ingredients: A department, normally HR or Occupational Health, charged with delivering well-being programs driven by a higher authority, normally central government to tick a box because ill health and mental health are getting worse due to socio-economc environments. So this normally consists of cake and coffee stands to talk about "Wellbeing" whatever that is and posters on the notice boards, most of this is a marketing exercise to sign post people to organisations like Mind, Samaritans, Mindfulness apps and websites etc. Now these a...

The Victim Hero Quest - Which are you?

Image
Are You Sure Who Your Quest is Serving? This blog is a really important one, because sometimes we don't know that our quest is more about proving others are wrong, rather than understanding our personal quest to live our passion. Let me explain by saying this. If you are fighting to be heard and it is getting you frustrated or angry or your always telling your boss, someone you work with, maybe a parent, teacher or friend, because you are passionately sure you are right. STOP!!!!!!! You are on your quest and you believe you  are being heroic in trying to change the world, by saying "I AM RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG"  well sorry your a victim not a hero and the hero wants to save the day but your quest will end faster than it's begun. You see the mind YOUR MIND is different to everyone else and yes you may find people with the same quest as you but you may also find people trying to achieve the same quest in a different way, or you may find yo...

What Operating System are You Running?

You upgrade your computer OS, why not your minds OS “U pgrade your programming to run the applications which will give you the abundant life you deserve” "Many people struggle with life and sometimes feel helpless and need to gain more clarity about why their life is not fulfilled" In my struggle to live an abundant life, I managed reach crisis point, had a breakdown, I got sectioned and entered the mental health system. As a police officer my job was to help people like me, but after the breakdown, I just became another mental health statistic. I decided the way forward was not pills and talking about my problems, no one understood what I was going through, how could they? I started on a mission to find another way, a better way, I found Rapid Transformational Therapy by world famous therapist Marisa Peer and from that point forward my life changed in such an extraordinary way. the MIDDLE I lived in the ‘The Middle’, the place where 95% of pe...

The Hate Crime that is Peoples attitude to Mental Health

Image
You Know You Have Done Wrong, Stop Making Excuses Behind the Mask of Pain If you look hard enough and actually really open your eyes and your ears, the masks that people wear to hide their insecurities can easily be seen, they can reveal themselves and this simple change in attitude will stop the hate crime that is poor mental health.  But that means YOU need to recognise that people are different and difference can be hidden. So what do I mean by that?  Wellbeing isn't a process, it isn't a webpage, an app, it's not a service you go to when you are in crisis.  It is an attitude towards something that is not tangible. It is everything we are and everything we do, it is not an outcome. I will explain based on my own experience and prejudice towards me. If I said to someone: "You know you did wrong being gay, stop making excuses" "Yes he is laid back, his family come from the Caribbean, that's how he is, what can you d...
