Children are always the future to what is going on, and when ever societal changes are a foot, the children are always the intended targets, for that is where the future lies.

Questions are the mainstay of people who want to learn and aren’t reliant on simple dogma and rhetoric for their information. And when one starts looking at the Imagination, many questions and observations begin coming to the fore, because when one looks at the word imagination, it breaks down into 2 words, Image Nation, or…
New Ideas, new formats and new ways of thinking happen all the time, and now with the traditional gatekeepers to information being bypassed, more and more people are having access to information, which previously they didn’t have access to. For there is a new class of analysis arising, and it is people who have an…
Question of a simple nature can open up many doors and also change ones perception of things. And this is no more true that the story that’s been pushed onto people re the narrative on climate change. Through the question and research done, the only real conclusion is that the climate change narrative is mainly…
Valuable things are precious to people, and some things that are valuable to people, they don’t realise until they are gone. And two of the most valuable things that most neglect to appreciate are their imaginations and the asking of questions, mainly because they are taken away from people through the education process In all…
To 5G or to not 5G, that is the question? And the more that one learns about the technology that is 5G, the less inclined that one really wants to have it. Because 5G is being sold to us as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if the 5G technology is anything like today’s bread…
I’m always amazed how the simplest of questions can lead to the greatest of insights, and the story of quantum mechanics is one such area. And it was a simple question asked by Max Planck when he asked: What if light moved in small packages rather than being continuous? And as they say the rest…
Over all the years coaching, and all the information gathered and sorted through, the basis of all coaching appears to come down to 2 essential questions. There’s obviously still a lot of information and knowledge behind these essential questions, though anyone starting out on the coaching path, these 2 essential questions are a great place…
The more and more one looks at this reality, what starts to become even clearer is there are at least 2 things for us to do with our time whilst we are here. And the way that our reality has been hijacked and structured actively works against us from achieving those 2 things unless we…
One thing we do not do enough of is in talking rubbish, those times when the conversation goes off into left field, or an offhand comment that takes one into uncharted waters and territories. Because sometimes the most inane question or comment can lead to some of the most profound of insights, for example: Define…
Sometimes to get any questions answered, sometimes you have to provide the answers yourself. And so is the case in getting answers to the questions I posed re the addition of fluoride to the water supplies and the proposed changing of the decision-making process out of the local NZ council’s hands and into the hands…
If you’ve been around the coaching scene for a while and been to multiple coaching course, sooner or later just learning about the general skills, techniques and tactics is not enough, and eventually you get into the asking of some important coaching questions. These coaching questions develop over time because you begin to realise that…
When you first get your team together, all the Learners & Improvers, Needy People and Psychophic People will all be shuffled together like a well-used pack of cards. And as a coach, the first thing you must do, in cultivating curious minds, you must figurative sort out the pack of cards into the black colours,…
Six weeks ago I wrote 7 questions to my parliamentary representative concerning the adding of fluoride to the water supply and 5 weeks ago those questions were forwarded onto the ministry concerned to answer them and currently the fluoride questions remain unanswered. I know they are busy and will get lots of correspondence and they…
In the courses of doing these blogs and wanting to find answers, out of all the questions asked, there are 3 big ones that stand out. The first two I’ve got answer for and the third questions stems out of finding the answers for the first two. The 3 questions are: What do successful coaches…
There are two things a coach must do right from the outset if they are to have any traction or effect as a coach. And when I mention what they are, one’ll go that’s so obvious The two things that the coach must do from the outset are: Keep needy people and their behaviours in…
Bit of a philosophical theme today and it revolves around experiences and ones perceptions of them. Have you ever had experiences, that one the surface seemed bad, though in the long run turned out to be very beneficial to yourself. Or alternatively: Have you ever had an experience that on the surface seemed to be…
In the quest to become a better coach, there are two questions I asked and ultimately they both come to the same conclusion. The questions with the answers are as follows: Q: What do successful coaches work from that isn’t being taught? A: They keep the needy people in check And Q: What if my…
Some may be asking where do I get all the information from, most probably don’t even think about it at all. It’s like there’s this river of information (picture the internet) and there’s this stuff constantly going by and with asking questions one is constantly going to this river of information where the answers are…
