This week, I'm sharing a short clip from one of my advanced programmes on something I see as hugely important: the hidden structure behind the words people say—and how that affects the way we listen, speak, and make an impact.
Every word you hear is pointing to something much deeper. And once that really lands, it opens up a whole new level of clarity and connection.

This week, I want to share with you a short clip from one of our recent sessions, and it's about something I really love exploring: trusting your inner guidance.
One of the things I often find is that when people first come across this understanding, they love the idea of wisdom—that quiet voice of guidance. But a common question is, "How do I tell the difference between that and just regular thinking?"
In this 5-minute clip, I sha...
There's a moment in nearly every breakthrough – one that's easy to miss if you don't know what to look for. It's often quiet, almost invisible… but it's where everything starts to shift.

– Why I asked the questions I did (including a few that mi...

Have you noticed how a coaching session can turn into a Netflix mini-series in about thirty seconds? Your client starts describing what happened, the cast of characters grows, sub-plots multiply… and before you know it, you're as tangled in the narrative as they are.
When we get lost in the story, it's hard to help them find the way out.
In this week's short clip I share the mindset shift that keeps me from being "hypnotised by th...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
