So here, m’dears, for your delectation is a little bit of fun from your coaching fairy godmother, who has manifested some familiar panto favourites for you to identify and empathise with. Which one do you know or will you be this year?

Snow White – Clearing up after others, the people-pleasing pal for whom nothing is too big a favour she whistles while she works and groans when alone -“where’s my share?”   With a song in her heart and a sigh in her chest she puts others needs before her own. One day her prince might come but then again she might be too busy picking up her mates from the airport to see him.

Sleeping Beauty – Our heroine has just realized she has “drifted” or sleepwalked through another job/relationship/missed opportunity. “Why aren’t I having fun yet?” she yawns while her friends dash out to salsa clubs, get promotions or find their knight in shining Armani. When will she wake up, boys and girls?

Jack and the Beanstalk – Always chasing the golden goose our hero puts in the hours but seems to be invisible. He’s not getting the breaks, the corporate beanstalk seems to be getting longer and higher and the Golden Goose has flown the coop. Look behind you Jack!

Aladdin – Keeps on rubbing that lamp and hoping a genie will come and help get him fit, create his dream job, give him the confidence to speak up in meetings and present him the gift of a meaningful and purposeful life. And still he waits. Is that a callous we see on his hand? Keep on rubbing, Lad.

Wishy Washy – Shall I? Shan't I? The master of procrastination with a degree in avoidance. Who will grant the well-meaning and full-of-dreams Wishy Washy the gift of responsibility and commitment? Oh yes I will, Oh no I wont!

Robinson Crusoe – The desert island dreamer, the nomad for whom life is one big travel adventure. But it’s hard to put down roots when you return to “real” life, rain and redundancies. And besides, a wicked fairy has cast a spell that makes him think the grass is always greener.

Fret not, each and every one of you shall go to the ball.
