"As I approached the large dark oak double doors, my heart raced with anticipation. I knew that once I entered, I would be transported into a world of research and deep thinking. I pushed the doors open, and they closed behind me with a resounding thud"

This is the opening paragraph, of version 1, from the first part of my personal metaphor related to learning. It continues. >> https://bit.ly/45On1eB

Autobiography or Biography ❓ There is so much chatter out there about the importance of "storytelling" and yet so many people who have the desire to share, never get started.

This is not unusual.

Do you want someone else to write your story for you? 👇

If this is not you then I can certainly help. 👇

Firstly, you will benefit greatly by listening to your own story and learning from it. And I can assure you that I have a great way to help you to explore the unexplored.

🧐 Curious?

Please message me to find out how insightful exploring your personal metaphors can be in understanding more about your story.

It never fails to surprise me how being curious can lead to deep learning. I have struck gold.

With much of my research and coaching practice being centred around learning, motivation, life satisfaction, positive psychology and psychological well-being, I am continually reminded that approaching things with curiosity will tend to be a very positive experience and will almost always lead to new paths of enquiry and exciting new ways of doing things and my recent exploration of the power of metaphor is a tremendous example of the rewards of such open-mindedness.

❓ What is truly fascinating about exploring metaphor? 👇

For me, metaphors represent the stories that connect our current real-life experiences with experiences from the past. Metaphors help us to make sense of what is happening now and can support us in moving forwards into the, as yet, unknown of future. In time, I might argue, that this is a form of time travel.

One of the many great things about accessing, and working with, our personal metaphors is that our stories can be updated and augmented as our experiences are broadened, thus updating our narratives to the most current version possible. We are not necessarily attached to our metaphors, so potentially they are the most fluid part of our identity. And because they are so flexible, they have great power when we are looking to make a change in our life, they transport us from where we are now to where and who we want to be in the future.

Humans are meaning makers and metaphors are, in my opinion, the medium by which we can travel through time and make sense of where we have been and where we are going whilst connecting us firmly in the present. Personal metaphors enable us to glimpse into the future and even take the first step.

My own recent personal experience has been profound and I want to share it with you.

Curious to learn more and spend some quality time working with your metaphors? I would love to work with you to uncover this hidden treasure. Please message me to find out more.

The application of Conscientiousness, Positive Relations with Others and Motivation leading to the achievement of Aspirational Outcomes

The Focused Formula for Success© and what we believe represents the three key ingredients for living a life with meaning and purpose reflects the findings of the research into what connections there might be between psychological wellbeing, personality traits and satisfaction with life (Fisher, 2020)

Motivation - Authenticity is the foundation of what keeps you true to living the life you strive for. It is the deep and meaningful measure that keeps you accountable and proves to you that you are on the right track. When it works for you in this way it has a very powerful impact. Authenticity is the fuel that drives motivation.

​In his historical paper, A Theory of Human Motivation, A. H. Maslow identifies “5 basic needs” (psychological, safety, belongingness & love, esteem and self-actualisation), each building on top of one another. Once the first two have been satisfied then we can begin to build a life for ourselves and in our own focussed formula for success, we see these as achieving a sense of belonging and love through improving personal relations with others, achieving esteem through conscientiousness, and self-actualisation through the achievement of aspirational outcomes. Motivation is what drives us forwards.

​When reflecting on what motivates you, we invite you to think about your values, beliefs and strengths.
