Have the confidence to walk through any negativity

No matter what you do in life, personal or professional, there will be people who have negative thoughts or actions towards you. Most of the time it is not even something conscious by them, but rather something that just stems from their personality or situation they are in at the time. The confidence you have in yourself will be half the battle, your actions in putting your plan into action, will do the rest. Self doubt is one of the main reasons for failure in life. There a

A step in the right direction

Sometimes life can be intimidating. We can stand on the edge of opportunity and procrastinate about the possibilities knowing that one step forward could achieve every dream we ever desired, yet we also think of failure, and that is what holds us back. In times like this you must be brave, you must believe in yourself and you must never, never be afraid to fail. Because even if you fail you will learn something about yourself, you will learn something about your reactions in

Positive output, leads to a positive response

We could sit and wait for positive people and things to come our way. We sometimes have a tendency to expect others to be kind before we let down our protective walls. We sometimes expect life to bring us all the things we deserve. But unfortunately, life just doesn’t work that way. If positive events or changes in your life is what you desire, then you need to start being a more positive person. What we sow we will reap, is the old saying that still today holds many truths.

Success comes from leaving fear in the shadows in your mind

What is it in life that you wish to achieve? Some dreams seem to be so far out of our reach that often put them down as unachievable, but why? Why do we close the doors on the things that obviously mean a great deal to us before we even give them a chance. Fear is one of the most debilitating emotions that spreads like cancer throughout our entire psyche. An emotion that not only stops the things we really want but gradually eats away at our self confidence, for once you allo

We are what we believe

In recent years we have heard much about visualization and the law of attraction. Whether you believe it or not, there has to be something in the statement, ‘we are what we believe.’ If there is something that you feel you missed early on in life, did not understand certain things or feel that you are just not destined to achieve anything, then simply the truth is, you will not. We see throughout history the people who have succeeded in life. We glorify their achievements as

Trouble in Bahrain led to a quick exit

The trip to Bahrain went very well. Had trouble getting back to the airport as more protests started just before I was supposed to leave the office. It was all pretty quiet really until the GM came in looking a little pale saying, ‘I think you better leave!’ It’s amazing the thoughts that go though your mind, not just what kind but the amount in literally a fraction of a second. I cannot tell you how many different scenarios were racing through my mind as I sat and looked at

OREO TV Commercial, take two!

The first TV Commercial you see above was something I did for Kraft Oreo a few years ago. Oreo was a brand I worked on for a few years and really enjoyed it. None more so than when shooting this TV commercial. We always worked closely with the global team in New York and London due to the account being a global account of FCB. The reason I chose this of the many commercials we made is because we were lucky to have the Global Creative Director on the Oreo brand. His name is Bo

The only thing we can predict, is that life will be unpredictable.

There are many moments in the journey we make where life takes a sharp turn for the surreal and we find ourselves standing in the shadows of uncertainty. These moments will one day be the days that define the person we are, when we are able to look back on them with clarity. For it is in these moments when we are scared, lost or unsure that our true character comes rushing to the surface. Our initial response is always to retreat into that child like state and hope someone re

Comic Sans walks into a bar and the barman says, “We don’t serve your type here.”

This made me chuckle and I often think laughter can be just as powerful as an inspirational quote. In todays collection I am in love with the painting (fourth row on the left) I think it is because within all the chaos and power that each strikes obviously provides this piece of art but there is serenity in the face of the girl which makes for a captivating contrast. The minimal color palette is also something that appeals to me. I really do like this painting! The Harvey Nic

A wonderful presentation from Steven johnson on where we get ideas. To be honest I had to watch this twice as I enjoyed the illustrations and humor as much as the thought behind the topic.
