They Just Don’t Work They just don’t work If you’ve not thought about ‘New Year Resolutions’ yet – Don’t bother Because New Year Resolutions don’t work You can make as many as you want but they never happen because a ‘resolution’ has no dynamic property. It’s just a static statement sometimes provoking the comment “OK, so what?” What you and I need is a New Year Revolution. A Revolution is a dynamic activity which we set to start on 1st January (never mind public holidays) and continue for as long as it takes. On Tuesday December 2nd at 09:45 I’m…

Resistance Is Useless! Resistance is Useless! Shouted the Vogon guards in ‘Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ and in the circumstances, they were quite right; but it’s often true in many other situations, not all, but most. You and I can and will resist ‘what is going on’ in the world or in local society when we think it adversely affects us personally in some way or other, but this isn’t what concerns me now. The other day I had the privilege of listening in a workshop to Glen McCoy and during his talk I had one of those ‘light…

Solving the Problem How You Can Help! Solving the plastic waste ‘problem’ I’ve joined a revolution, nothing to do with politics, but a revolution to rid the planet of waste plastic. The thing is, to get this off the ground you don’t have to do much right now – just register (no fee) HERE and I’ll get back to you to explain how it all works. We – the planet – have a problem. Plastic waste has been building up since about 1960, and we are all responsible – not intentionally but because we’d no idea what to do with…

Are You Getting Enough? Register for our Masterclass on Guidance on September 30th at 10am Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. How much Guidance do you need?  It’s probably more than you think I’ve been reading the book written by my friend Jim Fairbairn OBE – ‘Beyond Peak Performance’ (available from Amazon via the Freedom Academy). It’s been inspiring but at the same time somewhat ‘worrying’. Jim is extraordinary but I won’t tell you the story. It’s in the book, only 100 or so pages so it won’t take up too much lifespan. But this is…

Plastic Waste – What’s in it For You? Look Out for our next Masterclass in September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. Plastic Waste – What’s in it for you? Every individual on the planet is personally responsible for around 1Kg of waste plastic every week – that’s 50Kg a year. It starts at age 0 and babies are often responsible, though their parents, for more than 1Kg a week! The situation with plastic waste started around 1960 so if you were born before than you’re responsible for slightly less per year. Responsibility comes through usage,…

What’s In The Box? Look Out for our next Masterclass in September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. What is the FREEDOM ACADEMY? Why become a member? What’s in the box? I created the Freedom Academy to provide a coherent ‘place’ to help you discover and realise (turn into reality) your own vision of personal freedom. I’m not going to attempt to ‘sell you’ on the idea of becoming a coach or therapist and using my ‘system’ or provide a channel for selling other peoples’ courses or provide a ‘speaking platform’. Also, it isn’t just ‘me’…

I am NOT a Coach Look Out for our next Masterclass in September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. I am Not a Coach An odd thing to say after several years of promoting myself as ‘The Freedom Coach’ – but I’m NOT a ‘Coach’ For a start I don’t have any wheels, and I don’t have any seats, I’m not pulled by horses, don’t run on a railway track and don’t have an engine or a driver. So called ‘coaches’ were originally tutors to mid European students helping them get through their studies and exams…

What is ‘Plastic Neutral’? Why it’s important and how to achieve it Look Out for our next Masterclass in early September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. Did you know in the last seven days you consumed the equivalent of a credit card in the form of microplastics? The video explains how this happens and where it came from The good news is there IS a solution – and it’s simple. It’s not about stopping using plastic, that’s not going to happen unless we come up with something to replace it – it about recycling. But…

“It’s a ‘Deal’ Deal” A key line from ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ Look Out for our next Masterclass in early September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. I Could be Making a Mistake – and maybe losing income – BUT Membership of the Freedom Academy is FREE until 30th September 2025 AND On 1st October 2025 all members will be upgraded (free) to Bronze level (normally £27 per month) for no further charge. What does this mean? As a Bronze member you get one free £47 self-study course per month alongside the monthly live masterclass. That’s a total…

“So Little Time, So Much To Do” Look Out for our next Masterclass in early September Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. “I’ve No Time for This” Do you have ‘too much to do’, do you have ‘no time for anything else’? The trouble with being a coach with the mission to help people in this sort of quandary is the ‘problem’ the client (or potential client) is experiencing. It’s nothing to do with funding the resolution, it’s all about the paradigm itself. I learned a few years ago on one of Bob Proctor’s last amazing…

Business or Busyness? Look Out for our next Masterclass – August 12th 9:40 am Plastic Fantastic –  A Solution to the Plastic Waste problem and how You can become Plastic Neutral Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. Business or Busyness?  Why there is no such thing as ‘Life-Work Balance’ Originally, in Old English before the 12th century, ‘business’  meant ‘a state of being occupied or concerned’ with or about something, but by the 18th century it had come to mean more specifically a ‘commercial enterprise’ and had become a separate entity beyond its earlier 15th century…

What’s it Worth? Look Out for our next Masterclass – August 12th 9:40 am Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. What’s it Worth? – and What’s it NOT Worth?  Dan Ariely in his book ‘Predictably Irrational’ makes some brilliant points, in particular the difference between ‘market value’ and ‘social value’. It’s a longish book, 329 pages, but if you’re interested, I recommend you give it a read. When we look at the ‘value’ of what we do alongside who we are, we discover a few interesting parameters. Looking at ‘value’ is fascinating – what do we mean…

War of the Systems Look Out for our next Masterclass – coming soon Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. Every day you and I have conversations with ‘robots’. You can tell, it’s the way they speak on the phone without ‘deviation, repetition or hesitation’ (if you know the Radio Show ‘Just a Minute’). It’s just not like we speak as humans, even if we’re reading a script, we do pauses, occasional coughs and so on and of course ‘filler words’. So why employ a human to answer your phone when you can get ‘AI’ to do…

Your Multiverse Look Out for our next Masterclass – coming soon Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. Have you ever noticed some people seem to be ‘on another planet’? Have you wondered if they’re even in the same ‘universe? Consider this – you’re sat around a table with a group of people. Who is there around the table you can’t see? Who is it around the table each of the others cannot see? Assuming you’re not sharing a table with ‘the invisible man’, the one you can’t see is yourself. Indeed, you only ever see yourself…

Smoke and Mirrors Look Out for our next Masterclass – coming soon Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. We live in a world, or at least an environment of ‘Smoke and Mirrors’. In this world of mass ‘Tower of Babel’ communication, fake news, misinformation and the ‘alternative reality’ so easily created by ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI), how are we supposed to differentiate fact – what is really going on – from fiction – what others would like you to believe even though it’s a complete fabrication invented either to persuade you and I in favour or against…

Being in the Moment JOIN US for the  Masterclass on Mind over Meaning on Thursday July 10th Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. I’ve just read something in two or three sources including ‘A Course in Miracles’ and ‘Four Thousand Weeks’ and at least one other before those. They are all about ‘living in the moment’. Now you need to concentrate – read this slowly! For me they ‘were’ – they are now in my past. For them they exist but as inanimate items it’s all they can do. For you they (if they’re not already…

Changing my Mind JOIN US for the  Masterclass on Mind over Meaning on Thursday July 10th Join the Academy (free) and we’ll send you the details. You could call it a ‘crisis’, some people do but it’s also a reaction. Margaret Thatcher famously was said to say “The lady’s not for turning” but there were occasions when even she ‘ changed her mind’ and it seems to increasingly the norm for political leaders, with one or two notable and courageous exceptions, to ‘change their minds’, even presenting this as a deliberate element of their policy. But I’m not a politician…
