The Daffodil Principle revisited
I first introduced this video to celebrate our 200th issue.
Spring in the UK is at least a month behind, but at last we are seeing the daffodils that normally signify St David's Day (1 March). So I thought it would be appropriate to revisit the Daffodil Principle.
After viewing this inspiring video, someone challenged me "When are you going to start planting daffodils?"
I did not understand the question. After all, everything I do is planting daffodils and has been as long as I can remember.
Perhaps I am kidding myself. And perhaps it is only an attitude of mind.
I often like to quote a conversation between Aldous Huxley and Albert Einstein. One asked the other: "What is the most important question in the world? Reply: "Whether the Universe is friendly."
For me, the Universe is friendly.
Perhaps the second most important question is whether we plant daffodils in our life, just admire daffodils, or are oblivious to their beauty?
If you are wondering what I am talking about, check it out now. It is a PowerPoint story: The Daffodil Principle and will inspire your day.
Trip to Asia
After months of preparation, I am off to Asia on Friday.
On Monday I am speaking at the Singapore Leadership Development Congress and the following week I am introducing coaching to the India Semiconductor Association and on the Friday I launch the Indian School of Executive Coaching Coach Certification Program.
The first two-day module, "Mentor", doubles as an introduction to coaching for managers and leads into the 14 day programme for professional executive coaches. Our programmes incorporate international best practice, including the competencies defined by both the International Coach Federation and International Association of Coaches.
If you are in Singapore next week or Bangalore the following week and would like to meet, please contact me.
