Embodied coaching workshop for managing Destabilising Scenarios
16/03/2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorised /by adminThis workshop will develop practice around the coach in a facilitator role when helping manage communication and self-awareness problems caused by a destabilising scenario.

An embodied approach to states of destabilisation
05/12/2018 /0 Comments/in Business and leadership, Coaching, Frontpage Article, Workshops /by adminThank you to all who came to the embodied workshop at YorkStJohn and I greatly enjoyed it! Sadly, though, with any short workshop there wasn’t the time needed to show how the protocols work in a coaching environment based n real situations and embodied principles. I plan to give a half-day demonstration in the York […]

The perceptions and scaffolds of emotional intelligence
16/08/2018 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Business and leadership, Coaching, New Articles, News, True Stories, Uncategorised /by adminIt’s interesting to consider if we can separate words and communicating them, from feelings and experiences and their environment. At a recent coaching session at The Hawkhills, outside Easingwold, I considered with my client how emotional intelligence is related to our perceptions and the distance we take from them. It can be good to step […]
Managing Destabilisation – or an “embodied” approach to Chao-dynamics
15/05/2018 /0 Comments/in Actors, Business and leadership, Coaching, culture, Frontpage Article, New Articles /by adminHow does the process of Destabilisation work and how can we better manage it? PART ONE It’s important at definitive moments to feel that we can say what needs, or has, to be said, and, where possible, in harmony with the pervading culture or established context. The emperor with no clothes Playing the Devil’s advocate is the antidote […]
What state are we in?
12/05/2018 /0 Comments/in Business and leadership, Coaching, culture, Frontpage Article, News, True Stories, Uncategorised /by adminWhat state are you in? Do you feel that everything is “normal” and steady – “business as usual”, or in a constant state of flux and uncertainty, giving you an uneasy even scary feeling in the pit of your stomach? Coaching in York is in a great state! After a great week at the International […]

Being Here – or There?
11/02/2018 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Business and leadership, Coaching, Frontpage Article, New Articles /by adminOur words and actions – even the smallest ones – affect our state of mind. A research paper recently published, conducting a textual analysis of 63 Internet forums (over 6,400 members) used linguistic inquiry and word count software to examine “absolutism” at the linguistic level. Its results provide clinical evidence of how several features reflect […]

11/11/2017 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Coaching, culture, Festive, New Articles, News, True Stories, Uncategorised /by adminAs Performance in English heads north to Yorkshire and to facilities being hired at the impressive Hawkhills conference centre, and close to the beautiful historic cities of York, Ripon, and the world-famous Spa town of Harrogate, our thoughts turn to food and the great culinary traditions – so little appreciated outside these small islands – of […]
Manage your words well
16/07/2017 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Business and leadership, Coaching, culture, Frontpage Article, New Articles, News, True Stories /by adminUsing English well in an international context is as important for native speakers of the language as it is for non-native students and other international users of English. Whether this is because English happens to be the lingua franca of the organisation, company, corporation or community, or because those involved in any meeting have chosen […]
U or non-U
06/03/2017 /0 Comments/in culture, Festive, True Stories /by adminEnglish as spoken in Britain is a confusing thing at times. U and non-U English usage (the “U” standing for “upper class”, and “non-U” representing the aspiring middle classes) was a curious debate that began in the 1950s. During this debate, it was shown that the upper classes in Britain tended at times to use words that […]
Let’s get physical
21/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Actors, Business and leadership, Coaching, True Stories /by adminThe environment matters It’s important to get a sense of real involvement and hands-on connection in what we do. People begin by accessing the questions of time and space relating to when they do things and where they do them. At P.i.E. we use many techniques, some of them borrowed from voice training and from coaching acting […]
What should I do?
21/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Business and leadership, Coaching, culture, Uncategorised /by adminDon’t tell me what to do! – help me find it. We sometimes feel we know what the other person means to say, or is trying to get across, and so advise them consciously or unconsciously towards solutions that we think work for us, and therefore would like to work for them. When we don’t […]
Confidence in English
16/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Business and leadership, Coaching, Frontpage Article, True Stories /by adminOne of my clients not long ago was the kind of person you’d look at and immediately think they were totally in control and confident. The Financial Director of a multi national company is usually bursting with inner confidence, yet, after finding out that he had to start using English for his board-level presentations, he had […]

16/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Coaching, Frontpage Article, New Articles /by adminHow to be a Brit The Hungarian journalist and BBC reporter, George (György) Mikes – pronounced / ɱ ‘i: ke ʃ / – commented wryly in his book “How To Be An Alien“ (1946), a classic of “British humour”, when – as a foreigner in England – he realised the importance of having a “suitable” […]
Walk the talk
11/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Business and leadership, Coaching, Uncategorised /by admin“You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?” Introducing “embodied language skills“ As far back as we can trace, notions of proper conduct have been shaped by individuals, rather than by committees. Their starting point has been behaviour – often at mealtimes or during the public “stroll” – which has been seen […]
You never listen!
10/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Coaching, Frontpage Article, Uncategorised /by admin“You never listen!” How often a frustrated teenager might say that, and, in business too, how often people might be thinking this, but they do not say it – and barriers are building up, unseen? How do we “get” people to listen? Are we “really listening“? A child might have listened a hundred times to […]
How do you resolve your “issue”?
07/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Actors, Business and leadership, Coaching, Frontpage Article /by adminSo you’re a top actor and suddenly you’ve got stage fright and it’s becoming an issue. You know you need to address it but you feel you should try to just get on with it. But it becomes more of an issue. Or you’re a business leader who suddenly seizes up in a presentation and […]
How do we measure success?
07/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Additions to PIE, Business and leadership, Coaching, Frontpage Article, New Articles, True Stories /by adminWhat is success? Certainly, from a coaching perspective, it is reaching one’s goals. The famous holder of the world land speed record (and on water too), Malcolm Campbell, famously said: “When you have reached your goal, set yourself another“. His son, Donald, continued the proud tradition of tempting fate and taking speed to the limit. […]
What are you thinking about?

Painting offers an opportunity to reflect on life and to decide how we derive pleasure from the many things we see, do and experience. The whole process of thinking opens up doors that […]
What makes a good blog about “confidence”?
07/02/2017 /0 Comments/in Coaching, Frontpage Article, News, True Stories /by adminJulia, our expert in voice coaching and performance skills in acting, says: “I guess the basic thing for attracting people to a blog is – if someone has a lack of confidence – they’ll be looking, not a t blogs which talk about “acupuncture”, but at blogs that talk about “confidence“!! “Talking about methods is useless without a ‘hook’ of […]
