He said (and I have to paraphrase here as I can&#8217;t find the interview to listen [...]]]></description>

However, I see with my own eyes that [...]]]></description>

Despite the fact that intuition is not valued in our society, we are told that really successful people all have it. Have you noticed that? It is true, of course. So what the hell is it? This is my take….
What it isn’t
First, I want to get a popular confusion out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For years I struggled with the concept of meditation. I never did get past the first principle of emptying the mind. Then, when I was training as a coach, I suddenly got it. It&#8217;s not nearly as difficult as I thought and you don&#8217;t have to sit cross-legged in a silent room.
For anyone who has the [...]]]></description>

After a few interviews, I realised that the most interesting and useful question I asked was &#8216;What is your advice to anyone in this situation?&#8217; I saw that, as people&#8217;s experiences and how they dealt with it were [...]]]></description>

I never fail to be surprised when I&#8217;m offered the first piece of advice that enters the head of the person I&#8217;m talking to. If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been feeling very uneasy about my bald comment (on the About Melanie page) that I hated boarding school. Not because it&#8217;s untrue, but because it&#8217;s heavy-handed and unsubtle. Yes, I did hate it. Being there &#8211; at any of the schools - and dreading being back there dominated and oppressed my childhood. Why?
I wasn&#8217;t bullied, I wasn&#8217;t any more [...]]]></description>
