90s time in Ireland.

Posted on 2 Sep 20202 Sep 2020 by KiyoCiara

It's well known that the Irish have a "way" of doing things but few know of the hilarity of growing up in Ireland and the totally cringeworthy habits that are formed as a result. Like the time when I was in a friends house having just moved to London. We were watching a film and … Continue reading 90s time in Ireland. →

It’s such a VUCA world now…

Posted on 15 Aug 202015 Aug 2020 by KiyoCiara

I had a day off yesterday and decided to use some of the time to think about the last few months and the way in which lockdown has taken its toll on me, my life and my training. March seems so long ago now. The first few weeks were surreal and in a way underpinned … Continue reading It’s such a VUCA world now… →

A time to stop and think…

Posted on 13 Apr 202013 Apr 2020 by KiyoCiara

This is not going to be directly about Coronavirus... I've bloody well gone and done something stupid to my back. Yup I'm injured. This wasn't an immediate injury... it kind of started as a stiffness and then 2 days ago I started to make moaning noises when I bent over. Not good. I'm not sure … Continue reading A time to stop and think… →

Finding new habits.

Posted on 4 Apr 20204 Apr 2020 by KiyoCiara

When all this started the first few days were basically a novelty. Because I spend most of my time with people I rarely get to work from home but when I do it's bliss. I mean I generally make it to the couch and that's me for the day, laptop on my knees, duvet and … Continue reading Finding new habits. →

Sysiphean times

Posted on 28 Mar 202028 Mar 2020 by KiyoCiara

If one more person starts a conversation with the words "challenging" or "interesting" times I'm likely to spontaneously combust. I get it. Life is changing and so are the rules. So this won't be an article that talks about the dreaded zoonotic disease that fills every website and email subject. Instead I want to talk … Continue reading Sysiphean times →

Fear of failure

Posted on 27 Jan 202030 Jan 2020 by KiyoCiara

So I've been spending a lot of time recently helping various people with their career decisions, in fact with their decision making process in general. It's hard to be critical without thinking about ones own way of doing things and I've been spending a lot of time recently looking at the things that have gone … Continue reading Fear of failure →

Time to grow…

Posted on 10 Dec 201910 Dec 2019 by KiyoCiara

I’ve experienced my greatest advancements as a result of living through  times of significant pain.  To be honest, most of the time I didn’t actually ask for this growth, I knew I needed it, but for the most part I was kinda happy for things to just “happen”, at least when I was younger.  Underneath … Continue reading Time to grow… →

Finding focus…again and again…

Posted on 24 Nov 201924 Nov 2019 by KiyoCiara

To do... It's taken me a while to get to the point where I have space to write. To be fair, I've made a few notes about stories I want to write but that's about it. I was also incredibly industrious and put a training plan together and that is where it ended up... in … Continue reading Finding focus…again and again… →

No training weekend…

Posted on 20 Oct 201920 Oct 2019 by KiyoCiara

It's no secret that I have a full on life, I've pushed myself in as many aspects as I can... career, sport, learning and development since I was very young. I've no idea why, I've just always wanted to do something more with my life than what I was seeing in the lives of some … Continue reading No training weekend… →

Going home… sort of

Posted on 7 Jul 20197 Jul 2019 by KiyoCiara

I don't know how many messages I've had in the last few weeks and months about this years Gishiki! I'm still getting used to calling it that and not Budosai by the way... I think it was in Denmark that people started saying "see you in Okinawa" and it all started to become real. So … Continue reading Going home… sort of →
