- WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE? How About Doing a Fun Coaching Process?
Remember the old song with the lyrics, “What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?”? Although that song has nothing to do with coaching it comes to mind when thinking of a great coaching process that is especially effective when done on New Year’s Eve. Of course, it can be done any day of [...]

- FEAR OF CHANGE - Part Two
In Part One we suggested that if you were considering making a significant change in your life you should invest a good deal of time in imagining what the change you want would look like.
There is a physiological reason for focusing on the ‘what’ in this way. We are building up a new neurological pathway [...]

- DEALING WITH THOUGHTLESSNESS…….”My baby doesn’t have severe problems like your baby”
Most of us when younger were told to think before you speak which is, no doubt, good advice. What we were not told is specifically what we are to think about and what else might we do to help us communicate effectively. Many of us may only stop to think if what we are ready [...]

- CLUELESS ON RADIO
A few weeks ago we were interviewed for the first time for a radio program (we’ve since had two more radio interviews). We’ve been reflecting on how differently we approached the prospect of doing radio interviews compared to how we might have—“might”?—no, we’re “sure” of how we would have dealt with the prospect of being [...]

- STAYING POSITIVE WHEN LIFE’S HARD
Yes, it’s pretty easy to stay positive when things are going well and life is hunky-dory. You know, the times when you feel really well, full of vigor; the times relationships are easy and fulfilling; the time you feel valued, seen, respected; when you are engaged in activity that brings you joy. In other words, [...]

- ENERGY AND AUTHENTICITY
We talk a lot about energy - someone’s ‘energy’ and how they come over to another person. We are great at sensing when this is authentic energy or when it is being created from an ego point of view. Generally speaking we learn how not to be beguiled by someone’s energy when it is not [...]

- WHAT IS SELF CONFIDENCE?
No matter where we go we meet people who say to us, “If only I had more self-confidence I’d be just fine”. There does not appear to be an age limit, a gender, affluence or comfort boundary either. Even people we coach who are at the top in their business constantly express their perceived need [...]

- CREATING A BUCKET LIST
Last week was a strange week. I went to visit a friend who is suffering secondary tumours from her breast cancer over 7 years ago – she’s not yet 64. She’s a remarkable woman, remaining positive in spirit and mind though she would be the first to admit that her body is letting her down [...]

- FOUR WAYS TO CREATE SPACE FOR YOU IN YOUR LIFE
When Donna came on the phone for her coaching call she was clearly overwhelmed. Her day had been the usual run of meeting after meeting with no time to do the tasks she had set herself for the day. In addition, she had just learned that one of her staff had had a [...]

- YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE
The human desire to search for our life’s purpose has a long history. We want to know at a conscious level the reason we are here on earth so that we can take responsibility for our lives and start living authentically. Are you seeking your life’s purpose? Do you take responsibility for your life? Are [...]
