What is the Hummingbird Wisdom 30-day Challenge?

As soon as you sign up, you start the challenge.

Every day for 30 days you'll receive an email.

You'll also have the option to listen to each message on audio if that's what you prefer.

It'll contain insight, tools to help you become more focused, and a practical challenge task for you to tackle. Sometimes the challenge task needs you to take 10-15 minutes reflecting and writing. Sometimes you can do it as you go about your normal day.

At the end of each module there's an online questionnaire to help you reflect on how you're doing. 

Why insight and tools?

If you understand theory, but don't have tools, nothing will change.

If you have tools but no insight, you won't understand. You'll just be following instructions.

Understanding + Practical Applications = Empowerment.

The 30-day Challenge contains 4 modules:

The Big Picture: Understand how to unleash the power of your body and mind: (6 emails)

Core Tools: Dig into tools you were born with, but which we often forget to use: (5 emails)

Mental discipline: Tame and focus your mind, so it serves, not dominates you. (12 emails)

Real-World Application: Use your new skills in different areas of life: including self-knowledge, confidence, relationships and others (6 emails).

"I bought your Hummingbird wisdom course and am enjoying it very much."

'The course has already made an impact on my morning …
for the better… I’ve been able to maintain attention and do one thing at a time'
Azariah - UK

I’d always been fascinated by both individual and collective excellence. I was fascinated by amazing groups as much as by star individuals. I love a brilliant individual - but collective brilliance needs individual brilliance AND MORE. The mystery and magic of ensemble was the subject of my first book: ‘Encountering Ensemble’ (Bloomsbury 2013)

I realised early on the heart of excellent performance is presence. Without presence, we don’t connect. Unless we connect, we don’t communicate. 

That was the subject of my next two books ('Climbing The Mountain' (2016), 'Presence' (2019)).

After burnout and the pandemic, knowing I didn't want to travel much anymore (why would I? I moved to remote Ireland and it’s beautiful), I’ve spent a lot of time considering how ‘what actors know’ can serve everyone - whatever stage of life we’re at, whatever choices we’ve made.

Hummingbird Wisdom emerged from these years of reflection and re-focusing.

We know the mental and physical damage this distracted, frantic world is doing to us, our families and communities. The insights and tools developed over 30 years of training performers to be fearlessly focused and boldly creative, are tools we can all use and benefit from.

Now my mission is to share what I know, and do what I can to help us live more healthily, sustainably and joyously.
