William Murtha asked me if I’d write 100 words for this book. And now it seems they sit alongside words from Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Goodall, Alice Walker & 196 others.

Here they are. In voice and written word. 121 words actually.

Perhaps follow the written word alongside the audio.

‘AS THE LIGHT MAKES ITS WAY’

A man had lived in his imagination.

Ever since he was a boy.

For it was full of wonder and adventure
when set against the outer world
that housed his everyday life.

His imagination surrounded him in light.
The outer world, in a darker shade.

But as he waited for this outer world
to catch the light,
he realised that it might not.

And so he stepped out into the world,
hand in hand with his imagination.

Knowing that together they would
bring light to the darkest of corners.

—

And he is you. And me.

And together, the imagination of
our collective soul
has already begun its inevitable work.

As the light makes its way
towards the experience of the world.

’100 WORDS BOOK’ FROM WILLIAM

COMMISSIONED FILM | ‘FULL BANDWIDTH’ | KIMBERLEY HARE

Perhaps one of the most significant skills that any leader might cultivate is to enable their people to work (and live) at full bandwidth. The mind, the body, the emotions, the spirit. Perhaps this exists as the fundamental element in the transformation of any organisation’s cultural fabric.

‘How much of your (or your organisation’s) bandwidth remains unused?’, and of course ‘What are you going to DO about it?’, Really WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO about it?

COMMISSIONED FILM | ‘ONTPLOOIING’ | RICHARD MADDOCKS

‘might you have underestimated the commercial value of happiness?’

Ontplooiing was made as a commission. A film made to capture the essence of an organisation’s work in the world. If you’re a coach or a trainer you MUST see this. If you are neither a coach, nor a trainer you MUST see this … because positive energy is positive energy, and always has been. No matter the subject matter.

Do allow yourself to imagine how you might appear authentically on film, and how that might serve your work in the world. Perhaps it’s time for you to CONTACT NIC, and find out more.
There are MANY MANY MORE COACH FILMS playing HERE.

NB/ might ONPLOOIING become the one word coaches have been looking for? Perhaps it will enter the coaches common lexicon, alongside its obvious range of mispronunciations / [RICHARD'S WEBSITE]

COMMISSIONED FILM | ‘AMO LA VIDA’ | JULIO OLALLA

‘Gratitude in so many ways is so dramatically missing in the world today. Without gratitude nothing is enough.’ I’m not sure gratitude is something one can do but it is something one can exhibit.
And it’s exhibition is perhaps more important than we might imagine. JULIO’S NEWFIELD SITE [CLICK]

COMMISSIONED FILM | ‘IT’ | MADDOCK DOUGLAS

Portraying the intangible ‘can’t quite put your finger on‘ element that makes global
innovations agency Maddock Douglas, a leader in its field.

‘ … sense of wonder isn’t on a job description, and you don’t see it living in companies.‘

After shooting this film and before its release, global innovation agency Maddock Douglas experienced a 25% rise in sales.

This is what Mike Maddock, their founding partner had to say;

‘… I met Nic at an MIT, global entrepreneurship program. Nic’s message, technique, passion and results immediately captured my imagination. So much so that we hired him to take a closer look at our company. Within a month, Nic had helped us to rediscover a part of our company that our clients cherished but we could no longer see. We’ve taken his valuable insight seriously and it has made our work better and our people happier. Most importantly, it has lead to clarity of vision which makes decisions about our future easier and more powerful.’
