It's a heart thing

Many people spend their whole life trying to find their ‘thing’. We can turn to parents, friends and our careers advisor for ideas and suggestions, they can help and guide us but they can not make the decision for us. There is only one place we will find the answer, and it is written on our heart. We dream from an early age but we get side-tracked, as various opportunities parade for our attention like proud peacocks. We can dream so many dreams we can confuse those concoct

Weakness to strength

School was far from a doddle for me. My end of year reports were never a surprise to my Mum, ‘if Sharron would concentrate in class and not distract the other students she would do much better’.

Courage to begin again

In 2012 I left a job I loved to pursue my crazy dream of starting a business to help people and organisations realise, chase and achieve their dreams. Driven by my passion & belief, my mission was simple; to bridge the gap between where people are to where they dream of being. My method was not. The result? I fell flat on my face. Splat! If I could wind back the clock to 2012 would I do the same thing again? Yes! Why? Because although defeat is painful & has a very bitt
