Celtic Irish Sense of Time

2023-11-08T08:56:31+01:00

Reading time: 2 minutes The Irish culture of our ancestors had a very different relationship with time. There really was a sense of when God made time he made plenty of it, typified in the quote attributed to a whole series of Irish luminaries including poet Patrick Kavanagh: “There are over [...]

What Might be Possible If We Believed It Were Possible?

Questions have a strange power. They can release us from what we believe to be true by offering us glimpses of something different. Indeed, there are times in that brief moment after a question is asked when it feels like anything is possible.

How then can be capture more such moments and infuse them into our decision-making? The science of decision-making is in truth an art we spend our lives practicing. The same goes for curiosity and innovative thinking.

We make decisions all day every day. Some echo for minutes, others for months whilst a few echo throughout our lives. How do we distinguish and decide accordingly?

That is why I am a big advocate of nurturing curiosity and innovative thinking at all ages. If you are a leader, you will no doubt already know that continually nurturing curiosity in leadership is absolutely key. In many ways, leadership begins with self-leadership, which is in turn built on a deep sense of curiosity about who you are as a person and as a leader and at its core about how you make decisions. In fact, how did you decide to read this? And, what will you decide to do next?

We make decisions all day every day. Some echo for minutes, others for months whilst a few echo throughout our lives. How do we distinguish and decide accordingly?

That is why I am a big advocate of nurturing curiosity and innovative thinking at all ages, starting right from how we think about time. If you are a leader, you will no doubt already know that having a thinking partner with whom to continually nurture curiosity in leadership is absolutely key.

In many ways, leadership begins with self-leadership, which is in turn built on a deep sense of curiosity about who you are as a person and as a leader and at its core about how you make decisions. In fact, how did you decide to read this? And, what will you decide to do next?

Tom’s innate ability to listen and empathise enabled me to relax and really explore the issues that were causing me some anxiety. Our sessions provided me with an enhanced sense of self-awareness and a considered plan of action. The benefits in terms of relationships and self-confidence this process has given me are invaluable, in both work and life in general!
Testimonial from Sean
I went for coaching with Tom, without knowing what I wanted but knowing that I needed some help after having a number of setbacks with interviews. By the end of the first session, I was beginning to realise my problems. By the end of the second session, I was beginning to realise what I wanted. In our final two sessions, Tom helped me to identify a strategy for achieving my goals.

I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. Tom listened without judgement, guided without being opinionated and ultimately helped me to help myself. You can’t ask more from a coach.

Testimonial from Paul

I didn’t think I had a specific need for a coach, however, having met Tom outside of our professional roles we decided to set up a coaching programme. I’m delighted we did. Tom’s approach is based on taking it slow, listening first and asking questions you won’t have thought of second. The latter always result in positive actions to take away and implement immediately. Now, I’m really looking forward to continuing our working relationship.

Testimonial from James Crothall, Account Director at AMO DIGITAL

I’ve been catching up with Tom for now, over three years. It is a moment where I’m able to create space away from the noise and the busyness of my life to really tackle whatever is top of my mind. This can be on the professional side and can be on my personal side. My conversations with Tom are really conversations we have dialogues that we have, and a walk away from these meetings with clarity around ideas of how to convey pragmatically and practically tackle some of the challenges and the issues which I wanted to discuss with Tom. But I think more importantly, with a greater degree of confidence in my ability to solve for these topics. I’ve been really enjoying my catch up with Tom I hope to continue to do so in the future and I highly recommend anybody to give it a go.
