It is amazing to think there are so many stars in the sky and each one of those has at least one planet orbiting it. In her talk: The Search for Planets beyond our solar system, astronomer Sara Seager explains about these exoplanets, a planet which orbits a star outside of the solar system. This KumaraHub video article Stars and Orbiting Planets features Sara Seager as she introduces her favorite set of exoplanets and shows new technology that can help collect information about them — and even help us look for exoplanets with life.

A short TED video presentation which after watching may make you think twice when you look to the heavens and try to comprehend the number of stars and planets that you see in the night sky.

Chris Dudgeon

Executive Coaching & Workshop Presenter

Become a greater leader by living the best version of yourself.

Are you entering a new phase in your career where you are looking to take your leadership and performance to new, all-around levels of achievement?

Are there aspects of your ways of thinking and performing that you feel are holding you back from making this happen?

After 20 years in executive and leadership roles in global law and accountancy firms, I retrained as a psychotherapist. This enables me to work with my clients to help them understand themselves first, identify what they need to change, and successfully implement this in all parts of their lives.

My approach to coaching goes deeper than cognitive reframing. I support my clients through rigorous self-appraisal and follow this with sustainable, long-term strategies. This also involves skills training and support around empathetic leadership, focused on your ability to have a motivating impact on those around you.

If you are interested in bringing about a fundamental change in your leadership and performance, get in touch with me, Chris Dudgeon, to schedule an introductory session.

CPA (Australia) and Chartered Management Accountant (UK)

Master of Counselling, Monash University and Master of Narrative Therapy, University of Melbourne (ongoing)

Registered Psychotherapist in Hong Kong (HKPCA, PSHK), Australia (ACA, PACFA) and UK (NCS)
