The sky’s the limit
This week I took an evening flight with my friend Nicola Godden in Beryl, her light aircraft named after Beryl Markham, the first woman to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic from east to west. Beryl was a British-born Kenyan aviator, adventurer, racehorse trainer and author who wrote about her adventures in her memoir, West with the Night. Like Beryl, Nicola is an inspiration to others, a talented sculptor, pilot, mother of four and an active member of our village community.
Several years ago I held a workshop over six weeks round my kitchen table for a group of young Mums. The workshop was about ‘How to get from where you are to where you want to be’ based on a book by Jack Canfield called The Success Principles. One evening we looked at the power of writing down positive affirmations – goals we wanted to achieve. Nicola wrote that she wanted to resurrect her sculpture business and gain a private pilot’s licence – up to that point she had a real fear of flying.
Fast forward 10 years, Nicola has a thriving sculpture business including being commissioned to create a piece sculpture for the London Olympics and has well and truly overcome her fear of flying!

The power of knowing what you want and having others believe in you and supporting you in your endeavours, can truly transform your life. Research shows that helping individuals gain clarity and a vision of what they would like to achieve from their career and life, in general, is a useful process. The good news is that having a vision, essential for leadership, is a capability that can be learned.
