Was I really going to join Mark across the airwaves and do a training session to an international audience whilst stranded in the airport lounge in Jersey. Yep, of course I was, so with a bucket of determination and a wry smile i strode off to find a quiet corner.

Sitting in the middle of the airport cafe listening to all the usual clatter and booming announcements I reflected on the afternoons events. My plane delayed hour after after hour then cancelled. I soon realised even without stetching my numerical abities, that I was not going to make it back to Brighton to do the third session of our on line training Hypnosis Unwrapped.

After a long wait amongst some very cross folk, I managed to secure my self a seat on the last plane out at 8.10pm, the training was between 7.00 and 8.00; it was now 5.00 so I made a plan, a few phone calls and took the bus back to my mate Murray’s in St Aubins. Roger sent me me all the training material via Murrays email and then Murray deposited me back at the airport.

6.50 and in the airport cafe, Mark and I were acting as if we were familiar with this, I did explain to the students where I was and was thankful for their sense of humour! So the show went on and we delivered the joint lecture the last five minutes of which I gave as I was walking across the tarmac…………. and said my goodbyes as I entered the airplane…….what timing!

Sinking back into the plane seat, I became very grateful for several things. the kindness of friends and strangers, in our increasingly flat world the freedom that todays technology brings and our minds amazing ability to adapt, problem solve and enjoy the moment.
