The Oprah show was a stalwart of my tv watching schedule. But fear not. While her show may be off air since 2011, you can still catch her live on, well, facebook live.
Over the years, in my practice of private coaching, I have seen how the mind can trick us out of our dreams.
We have all heard that inside voice: ‘If it’s not perfect I can’t do it’… ‘I only meet some of the competencies, so I can’t apply’.
Within all of us, I believe is a purpose. It doesn’t have to be professionally based it can be social, creative or family-focused.
Either way, I’m always blown away by the power of having a purpose. A purpose is a source of inner conviction. Our inner purpose, helps us show up for what we think is important to us, imperfections and all.

Shonda Rhimes is a legend screenwriter. She is responsible for How To Get Away With Murder, Greys Anatomy, Catch, Private Practice and Scandal. These are just to name a few. She has achieved phenomenal success where she owns Thursday nights. This is called Shonda land- when three of her programs play back to back in the US. This alone is enough to explain why I would be supporting Shonda Rimes’ masterclass.
But her personal success isn’t my actual reason. Her phenomenal success is how I know about her. I support her because she is a woman of purpose and she claims that in her work.I’ve heard a couple of interviews where she talks about her need to represent the diverse faces that she sees in her everey day life in her TV shows. What a phenomenal game changer she has been. First prime time tv show to have a black female lead in 40 years (Scandal). Having a purpose I think is the reason behind her success. Check out what she says about having purpose here.
If you interested in finding how to develop your own purpose you can access your invitation to my FREE webinar here.
This is an am amazing talk from Caroline on the power of bravery in girls. She was the 15th woman in fire station of 1,500 men.
Caroline talks about the importance of risky play in young girls as is encouraged in boys.
She notices girls are often taught to be timid and afraid of risk. This can play out in later life as women who don’t speak out, use defrance to be liked and lack of self confidence.
Risky play on the other hand is good for all kids. This develops valuable life skills of hazard assessment, delayed gratification , resilience, confidence trust in your decisions.

So, i’m just back from Manhattan, and came back for one of the great dates of the British calendar, London Fashion week. I had a great time. The stand out moment was meeting the lovely Irish designer Chupi. I picked up a lovely delicate piece that was shaped as an arrow. Its part of a collection called follow your dreams. Thats us grinning from ear to ear. You can check out her pieces yourself here: www.chupi
That day got me thinking about the importance of following your dreams, and how that’s easier said then done. If you have big dreams and are looking for some inspiration to kick start you on your way, then you are invited to this free webinar here. I am hosting it on the 8th of October at 11am GMT.
After queuing for over an hour, we finally got in. While very busy, the portraits were stunning. Above are a couple of shots. If the exhibition comes to a city near you, do try and see them. You will get a chance to see photos from one of the most iconic photographer of our age.
The exhibition kicked off in London and will be shown in Tokyo, San Francisco, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Istanbul, Frankfurt, New York and Zurich.
I was quite taken by what to me seemed to me to be a study of women’s leadership. The photos showed women who lead at the grass roots, in the social sciences, politics, business, science, arts and philanthropy. Really powerful stuff.
