A Tale of Two Sydneys (Paperback or Softback)

A TALE OF TWO SYDNEYS is a no-messing, straight-talking, manga-inspired, self-improvement story. It's a light-hearted means to revealing some life-changing advice around a fist full of learnings that, should you choose to adopt them, seriously threaten to change your life experiences for the better.

Sidney and Cyd, folks much like you and I, unexpectedly meet one, most unlikely guru, who shows them five learnings, transforming and ordinary day into an extraordinary field trip that changes both their lives.

During their weird field-trip, Sidney and Cyd are whisked away via a vortex (what else?!) to visit a number of characters who exemplar key attitudes and dispositions that their guru is tasked with revealing to them. Sidney is resistant. He is far more concerned with avoiding the humiliation of everyone finding out that there's something he doesn't understand. Cyd is perplexed. She's convinced that her 'jug of potential' doesn't take that much to fill. Both have much to discover.

Hil is a successful Master Practitioner and Coach in NLP, with a Degree in Psychology & Education, and Masters Degree in Leadership. "A Tale of Two Sydneys" (2Sids) fermented in Hil's psyche over many years of teaching & coaching both youngsters & adults. The common thread that acted as a catalyst for this story spewing forth in the dead of night, was that of people not daring to shine or celebrating their successes through a, sometimes overwhelming, fear of failure and lack of self-empowerment. "2Syds" serves to open the dialogue around reclaiming our empowerment and daring to shine.
