Hey Jools....just read your message, however I think I'm going to have to get back to you tomorrow as it's the wee hours right now....and I'm falling asleep!
Take care...more later,
Lee
Sorry for the delay in responding - family crisis.
Loving your bio - I agree with you on so many things. I especially agree that our young people aren't brought up expecting to have great lives, which is tragic. My daughter wants to be the first woman on the moon and my son a world-renowned comic actor - and because I know that they're capable of achieving anything (in my daughter's case, against all the odds), I encourage them to believe in and follow their dreams and I give them as many tools as I can to do just that. My son (16) says that every kid should have a Life Coach and even that schools ought to invest in employing coaches! My daughter (20) says that I help her to move forward with her dreams by asking the right questions and stimulating her thinking in the right way. I feel privileged to be a mum who can pass this big thinking on to my children.
I've been a Coach for a year now and am in the process of re-branding what I do, to specialise in life purpose/large life coaching. I spoke about it at a women's group last week and the response was amazing - from hostile (just one lady, who made her feelings quite vocal (under her breath!), whilst I was speaking, to complete resonance from women who feel lost in their lives and sense there's something more for them out there, if only they could find it - and that's where I come in.
Been learning a lot about e-marketing, so also in the process of implemeting the learning.
How about you? You don't say what you do. I'm intrigued to know what organisation you work for - sounds amazing.

Hello Lee,
I am half way through my second reading. I loved it the first time through but sometimes when I am really into a book I go too fast so am going through it again. I am finding it is one of the more motivating books I have read. I am already going through my day saying to myself "am I thinking big or am I thinking small". So that is a pretty good step so far.
Thanks Lee, Really good to be tuned in. I am just getting ready to start building my signs which are excerpts from the "TB Manifesto". I believe that this may help with my "Thinking Big" growth. -tk
Thank you, it's good to know another person living life on purpose and seeking growth in all areas to contribute to the greater good. I look forward to knowing you.
Thanks for connecting with me - it's great to meet another Big Thinker in the UK!
Who are you and what do you do? I can't saeem to find any info on you from the Think Big page.
Jools.

What do you want to think bigger about?
Thinking big is something that I've always done subconsciously, however in recent months it has become something of personal philosophy.
Wow, what do I want to think big about?......everything! From the direction that my life is taking personally, to how I can help others to also think bigger, to how my big thinking can help to change the world.
I have major issues with the needless suffering and poverty that exists in this world. With the key word there being 'needless.' It simply does not need to be there. We could end it. We simply have to think big, and rise up....together.
As a Brit, I also have huge concerns with the overiding level of thinking in this country today. Some of the greatest thinkers of our time came from these Isle's, and yet today, the thinking of the everyman on the street is incredibly small (when compared with the U.S. for example). Everyone is happy (or unhappy) to just make do, struggle along and complain about how dire things are. The average young person out there has so little aspiration, so little desire to strive and reach for the sky....mainly because they are not being shown how to do so. Hmmm.....pause for thought huh???
So, I'm interested in hearing from anyone out there who has a passion for making a difference in this world.......bring on the revolution!!!
What other big thinkers do you find influential?
Anyone who challenges or has challenged the status quo. Giants like Gandhi, Martin Luther King & Nelson Mandela go without saying. Then there's Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and James Allen.....ahead of their time.
I also have much respect for the humanitarian work of the likes of Bono, Bob Geldof, Midge Ure & Annie Lennox etc....much respect.
I am also blessed to be part of an organisation that places big thinking at the forefront of it's operation, and everyone involved has an incredibly positive, uplifting outlook on just how great life can be.
How has the The Think Big Manifesto influenced you?
Love it! Michael, you're a giant amongst men!
I came across it at an airport book store.....isn't that where we find all the great reads??? I then preceeded to read it cover to cover whilst above the Atlantic....couldn't put it down......didn't sleep a wink despite it being a night flight!
As soon as I started reading I knew that it was going to have a huge impact on my life......and so far I've not been proved wrong. Ready to take it to the next level......
