Oh, the irony! My lovely publishers, Capstone, have just sent me a massive chocolate box from the prestigious chocolatier, Hotel Chocolat, as an early (and incredibly luxurious) Christmas gift. Tragically, I managed to quit sugar a month ago and have managing to steer clear of the deliciously addictive stuff one day at a time. And then this arrives! It's like sending a kilo of pure Bolivian marching powder to a reformed crackhead. And it got me thinking… What if we were to auction this enormous Hotel Chocolat gift to the highest bidder, and give the proceeds to two of my favourite children's charities?
In fact, what if we were to sweeten the (already extremely sweet) pot further, by including a 2-hour 1:1 Clarity Coaching session with me, Jamie Smart, author of the International #1 bestselling book, CLARITY: Clear Mind, Better Performance, Bigger Results…
So here's what's happening. We're auctioning off a package, including…
1) the enormous Hotel Chocolat box of chocolates
2) plus a 2-hour Clarity Coaching session with me, Jamie Smart (either by phone, or at a London location of your choice)
3) plus an autographed copy of my book, #1 bestselling book, CLARITY: Clear Mind, Better Performance, Bigger Results This really is one of the most powerful gifts you could give to yourself or someone you care about to ensure that 2014 is your most inspiring, successful and fulfilling year so far!

Plus, when you're the bidder who wins this life-changing & yummy package, you're going to be supporting the kids who need it most. Here's a bit about the charities that will be sharing 100% of the proceeds between them (a 50/50 split), Kids Company &; Bamboozle Theatre Company:
Bamboozle Theatre Company Ltd
Bamboozle was founded by Christopher Davies and Sue Pyecroft in 1994. Bamboozle is a charity that uses the power of theatre to transform the lives of children with learning disabilities. Bamboozle’s aim is to offer children the opportunity to interact meaningfully with the world, and to confound expectations of what disabled children can achieve. Bamboozle takes high quality, interactive and immersive performances into theatres and special schools in order to reach, engage and entertain all children – whatever their ability. They provide creative and innovative learning experiences for children with special needs and share their pioneering methodology with teachers and educators through training and research projects. They produce captivating multi-sensory experiences for profoundly disabled children and their whole families – and finds ways to engage those that can seem hardest to reach. (Registered Charity Number: 1136157)
Here’s what people say about their work:
“Amazing!! My student gets very little pleasure from most day to day activities as he is very sensitive, is totally blind, not usually happy with physical stimulation and spends a lot of his day self-harming. He wears a boxing helmet to protect his face from the harm and is usually covered in blankets for comfort. Today he sat through the whole Bamboozle experience with minimum blankets, his helmet off and his head held high. He laughed and rocked and vocalised to the show. He welcomed the sensory touch and quite obviously enjoyed every bit of the show – some staff were practically brought to tears to see his interaction. Total credit to the Bamboozle team, words cannot express what they bring to students at Hollybank. Thank you so much!!” Hollybank Trust
