Using inspiration to refresh your mindset

Part of what I do is about inspiring you to see what you are really capable of. Underpinning my coaching is my belief that capability lies within us. It's always there just waiting to be turned on by an act of will or circumstances that force us to embrace our hiden talents and abilities. What a joy then for me to be so inspired by the work of John Hegarty, a master of his craft of advertising. His book Hegarty on Advertsing: Turning Intelligence into Magic is chock full of inspiration and insights. For me it's a must read for any pitch professional who wants to connect more strongly to what communication and creativity are really about.
