 May 10th, 2011(1274 words – approx 7-11 mins to read) We spoke last time about being open enough and brave enough to entertain the idea of worlds different to our own, so I thought I’d tell you a story that I wrote a while back for a client that seemed to be appropriate…  Steve Wooding |  choice, metaphor, personal power, taking action, therapeutic tales |  A Slice of Lemon |  Leave a comment February 4th, 2011IN SHORT: NEED is not enough, you have to WANT it.

Although you can’t change the facts of your past, you CAN change what you do with it, how you let it make you feel, and where you go forwards from it – you get to choose which dots you use!
(792 words, approx 5-8 mins to read) (This month’s ‘slice’ sort of follows on from last month’s ‘Making Meaning’ article, and here we’re focusing more on what we do with strings of experiences rather than just individual ones.)

(1315 words – approx 7-12 minutes to read. It’s a long one this time!) Last time we talked about the perils of running on empty and how important it is to take responsibility for refuelling before we hit the ‘red zone’ on our personal fuel gauge. I promised this time we’d talk about the games people play – that’s not just other people though, it includes you – in order to try to get other people to meet their needs instead of taking responsibility for themselves and sorting out how to meet their own. …read the rest… » Steve Wooding | emotional intelligence, personal power, relationships | A Slice of Lemon | 2 comments June 1st, 2010

March 15th, 2010 Liverpool Event Flyer It’s happening..! I’ve teamed up with Regus Liverpool to put on a ‘Taste of Hypnosis’ event in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care. It’s on Wednesday April 14th, from 12:30 – 1:30pm – a lunchtime, so you needn’t take time away from work. We’re holding it at the Regus Liverpool Centre, Horton House, Exchange Flags, Liverpool L2 3PF. In return for some fantastic insights into how your mind works and some simple demonstrations of how hypnosis can help you personally and professionally, all we’re asking is that you bring a £5 donation to Marie Curie Cancer Care with you. We’ve had enquiries about this event even before we announced the details, so we know it’s going to be popular. However, there are only 20 places to be had which means you MUST pre-book, either by emailing booking@iceandlemon.com or calling 07730 651648 immediately! Click here for a flyer and more information.
