04th December - Have you ever felt like a fraud? Do you feel like you have been “winging it” for most of your life?  Imposter syndrome can affect us in our relationships and at work.

We conclude we are not as good as everyone else. We often feel as if we are a fraud. We doubt our own abilities and assume others have life figured out more than we do. We live in fear that our inadequacies might be found out.  We reach for perfection, but as perfection doesn’t exist, we often feel dissatisfied with life.

In truth, every human being has feelings of imposter syndrome. So where does it come from and what can we do about it?

02nd October - Why is it so hard setting bounderies ? At home and at work.

4th September - Are You a Workaholic?

Can too much work be bad for you?!  If so, when does working hard become an addiction? What if our job requires long hours or getting promoted is dependent upon hard work? Does it make a difference if we enjoy working hard?

Given most of us can’t afford to stop working, what’s the cure for being a workaholic? Early retirement?!

10th July - What is Emotional Intelligence?

What is emotional intelligence? Are women more emotionally intelligent than men? Can emotional intelligence be learned or is it innate? What are the signs that your spouse might lack emotional intelligence?! And why does it seem that today’s leaders seem to have so little emotional intelligence?

5th June - Fear of Success?

We’ve all heard about the fear of failure. Is it possible to be afraid of success? According to therapist and business coach Gavin Sharpe, the fear of success is real. It affects us all – from top athletes to business people and everyone in between. Sometimes we hold ourselves back from achieving our true potential and living a fulfilling life because we fear the consequences of success. So how can be become aware of our fears and ensure we get to live a full and meaningful life?
