Last spring, I had a great conversation with Jørgen Rasmussen, a pioneer in the domain of 1:1 work, and author of the book Provocative Hypnosis. We released a recording of the conversation and the feedback was terrific. Many people have told me over the past year that this conversation sparked a major shift in their understanding of the principles behind clarity. Read More →
People often ask me what the difference is between thoughts, thinking and the *principle* of Thought. A few months ago, I was answering a question from one of my Coach Training clients and came up with a metaphor to describe the principles behind clarity, and how they create our perception. You can listen to that audio below…
“Yeah, I say if it feels good, do it.”

One of the biggest areas of confusion I see when people start exploring principles-based coaching is the area of feelings. They’ve often been told that they should “find a good feeling”, that “deeper feelings will let you know what to do”, or that they should “wait until you have the right feeling”. As a result of this well-meaning but ambiguous advice, they sometimes get paralysed while they wait for “the right feeling” to come. Or they dive into analysis of their feelings, trying to discern what their feelings are telling them to do so they can use them as a basis for decision-making. In the worst cases, it can end up boiling down to a kind of “If it feels good, do it – if it feels bad, don’t” philosophy which can lead to passivity and victimhood. In this article, you’re going to discover a discriminator that will help you clear up this misunderstanding. In the process, it’s going to take a lot off your mind, and have you taking action where you may have been stuck until now.
