Tonight my guest on my monthly BlogTalkRadio show, “Five Coaching Questions about…” will be Lillian Ogbogoh. Any of you have have followed the show from the beginning know that Lillian honored me by being my guest host on the very first night!
Lillian has her own show on BlogTalkRadio every Wednesday called Waking Passions, which includes transformational conversations with amazing people to awaken you to your own unlimited potential to achieve and live at your true purpose.
Lillian is also a Directional Coach whose journey to this point in her life has been anything but straightforward. Graduating from London Guildhall in 2002 with a degree in International Relations and combined studies, Lillian decided that the political arena was not where her true talents lie. She is much more interested in “what made people think” and the “why we did what we did as people”.
Join Lillian and I tonight as we talk about the transformational power of fear.

…I traded in my corner office for a room with a view.
In 2005 I left my job as Head of Human Resources Development in a major ad agency to establish my own training and coaching company - Creating Tomorrow: The Leadership Consultancy.
“Creating Tomorrow” - the name itself reflects the enormous Leap of Faith this step represents in my life!
As you can imagine, the road has often been rocky - filled with its fair share of both joy and frustration. To commemorate the challenges I’ve faced on my journey thus far, today - 1 June 2010 - I am launching a project that is very near and dear to my heart: Uncaged Birds™.
