PhotoCoaching China Summit 2023

I had the pleasure of presenting the closing keynote speech at this virtual event. I worked with an excellent translator during the session who patiently took the time to convey my presentation to the Mandarin speaking audience. Hopefully next year I will be able to attend in person and run some workshops.

Photo a day…for 13 years!

A very interesting article in the Guardian in which a photographer draws to a close a project he started 13 years ago with an aim to take a photo a day for a year…and he kept going.

It is an interesting challenge to set yourself. You don’t need to do it for 13 years though! Start with a week, and then build to a month, then 2 months, then 6, and see if you can get to 1 year. Looking back on the images you capture will help you identify patterns in your life and can help asceetain what is important, what grounds you, and what motivates you.

Presenting in Hong Hong…virtually

Leave a reply

I’m going to be presenting the closing keynote speech at a conference in Hong Kong which focuses on using photography in coaching. I will be exploring the topic of therapeutic photography and how exercises can be shaped to achieve the intended outcomes of coaching, particularly around exploring the present, setting goals for the future, and identifying strengths. The conference is on the 16th December 2023…unfortunately I will be presenting virtually from Scotland so will not be able to attend in person.
