I had a meeting with IKEA once for a leadership training contract. At the time I was living in Devon, in an unhappy, deeply difficult marriage, getting myself into an increasingly difficult financial situation. I had lost my spark. I had lost that elusive...thing that made me...me. So it was hardly surprising when I didn't win the contract. I remember being...so disappointed. (I actually filmed a video for my Instagram and cried on it. You can watch that here if you fancy something from the archives). 

About a year ago my nephew learnt to put things in the bin.Every time he did it, my whole family would lose their literal minds, cheering and clapping like he'd f*cking...solved the hard problem of consciousness. (He's working on it, I'm sure).

I noticed a few days ago that it has been two years exactly since I registered the domain www.confidencelive.com - I really did have no idea what was about to happen.

I have 4 brothers but growing up *whispers* Kieran and I were closest. Kieran would play me symphonies from his "Best of Classical 1750-1800" CD and teach me to identify an oboe.

Last night I went to immersive theatre in London. It's a 30 second walk from where I live and everyone in the world ever has been talking about how amazing this show is.

It's not often in my training that I get someone who just super isn't into it. But, when you do as much training as I do, it's going to happen sometimes. MATHS.
