We have the English author Horace Walpole to thank for the word serendipity, which he coined in one of the 3,000 or more letters on which his literary reputation primarily rests. In a letter of January 28, 1754, Walpole says that “this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word.”

Walpole formed the word on an old name for Sri Lanka, Serendip. He explained that this name was part of the title of “a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of….”

This week I will be speaking at a CTT conference in Brighton called ‘The Leader Within’. It is indeed serendipitous that this is where my story began (with CTT) and where the initial spark of inspiration came from.

In early 2005 Phil Clothier (CTT CEO) showed me a film he had made called ‘Heartland’. The film showed eight year old school children talking about how they saw their world and their inner hopes and fears for the future of the planet. To say that I was profoundly moved would be an understatement!

The whole film was set to the music of Tim Wheater’s Heartland which is about the powerful story of the warrior’s journey to learn to live in peace and love. Listening and watching these children speak woke my ‘Leader Within.’ Something inside me needed to re-discover that inner eight year old and so started the long journey to realising and fulfilling my own purpose and vision.

Reflecting on the conference I’ve had many thoughts on what I should talk about and how to deliver the message I felt the need to convey. In fact: I even commissioned a writer and director to help create the show but interestingly nothing materialised and as the event drew nearer it became clearer to me that it was now indeed the right time to share my own personal story to my own vision.

So this web-site is the result of that journey. The ‘home’ of my very own vision and purpose. I want to help you find your ‘inner leader’, the real you. I want to give you the love, support and guidance that you need to express every aspect of your unique presence and to find your authentic voice.
