Empowering stories
When I connect with myself and with Nature, I create a space that allows me to make sense of the stories in my head. Sitting on a bench in Tiergarten, listening to the birdsong under swaying branches and soft caressing breeze is so freeing – an ideal coaching environment and workplace to blog!
You can also check out my blog at Climate Change Cafe which aims to raise awareness and inspire action on climate change. We all have our own empowering stories to tell. Storytelling can also be a valuable tool in the coaching process – not only to process past and present experiences – but to imagine the future we would like to create for ourselves. So if you would like to contribute as a guest to either blog, then feel free to get in touch.

Communicating climate change to empower
The words we use matter. The way we talk to ourselves matters. Negative self-talk can undermine our confidence, our self-belief and affect our mood. It can even change how we behave and influence our actions. Positive self-talk, on the other hand, can empower us to...
