I don’t know about you, but I’ve been working hard lately. I mean, really hard. Since the sun came out during lockdown, I’ve had the tantalising taste of summer in my mouth (gin cocktails anyone?) and a to-do list as long as my arm. Covid-19 brought some big changes here at Rising Vibe and I…
Most of us have read, or at least heard of the book that delves into the fundamental psychological differences between the sexes. So why, when it comes to corporate development programmes, is there a ‘one size fits all’ approach? It’s a universal truth that men and woman function differently. We process emotions differently and we…
You go to work every day and do your job. To your colleagues, you appear motivated. Calm. Driven. All the things that are actively encouraged in business. But the reality is different. Underneath it all you’re anxious. Stressed. Worried about what others think. You have no work/life balance. You’re losing sleep. And with a mounting…
We all know a ‘really great guy.’ A father, brother, uncle, friend or work colleague, we’re instantly attracted to their noble heart. They’re kind. Respectful. Assertive yet tender and protecting.

This Summer I decided to sponsor a cricket team, partly because my Brother plays for them but mostly because, as the classic reggae song states, I don’t like cricket, I love it!

Don’t get me wrong, I love tradition. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the turkey, trimmings, family rows and cold weather. Christmas abroad you say? Oh dear God no! But there is something about tradition that can lead to shame. It can push us into doing things that don’t sit right with us. We’re strong armed…
Have you seen the film Inside Out? It’s the story of 11-year old Riley and her emotions – Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust. When Riley moves with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, her emotions are thrown into chaos. She struggles settling into her new home away from her friends and her hockey league…
Goal setting is a big part of January but so many of us are back on the booze/cigs/meat/sugar/wheat/dairy and sat on the sofa in our shiny, unused trainers by the end of the month. So let me ask you this. WHAT exactly is your goal? Write it down. Look at it. On a scale of…
Good question. It’s one I’ve been asked quite a lot by both friends and colleagues. The meaning is very significant and resonates deeply with me. So let me explain. Rising Vibe is ultimately, about FEELING GOOD. We all want to feel good, but quite often we don’t. Why is this? How can we start to…
