We Could All Use A Few More Celebrations

One of the modules in the standard approach I use in coaching my clients is in urging them to be a little more deliberate in celebrating their accomplishments. I invite my clients to give their accomplishments the same fervor and consideration that they would their birthday. The idea is we have many more occasions toContinue reading “We Could All Use A Few More Celebrations”

What is your ‘what?’

What is your ‘what’? One of the best and easiest way I’ve discovered to set goals is to determine what is my ‘what’? Your what is your passion, your intense likes or perhaps your dislikes. To use a very familiar example to drive this point home, let’s take a page from a very familial comicContinue reading “What is your ‘what?’”

The Elephant in the room: coaching fees.

So, let’s address the Elephant in the room. Never mind how he got there or who let him in. The fact remains, he’s here and on our watch. So, let’s not pretend. Let’s stop trying to make small talk and change the topic. Let’s address this head on! I’m talking about the Life coaching fees. Continue reading “The Elephant in the room: coaching fees.”

Pathways

This will be the first post-the first collection of thoughts that I have had in days that will not have a science reference attached to it in any kind of way. Or, at least I believe that to be the case from the onset. Facilitating maturity should always be one of the goals, spoken orContinue reading “Pathways”

Escape Velocity

According to Wikipedia “in physics (specifically, celestial mechanics), escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body, that is, to achieve an infinite distance from it.” In plain English, a smaller object has to travel at a particular speed in order to break free of aContinue reading “Escape Velocity”

The Life Coach As a Momentum Specialist

Boiled down, momentum can be understood as the force that propels an object to have an impact on another object. To a keen life coach this concept can be golden and can serve as a model of sorts for the coaching process as it relates to goal pursuit and attainment. The force is life coachingContinue reading “The Life Coach As a Momentum Specialist”

Why Daybreak?

For many of us as for the symbolism, nighttime represents sadness, sorrow, turmoil, a wrestling, an intense conflict of sorts, for some, nighttime is synonymous with fear and vulnerability, helplessness and hopelessness, cold, isolation, loneliness, hate, and abandonment. In stark contrast, daybreak represents the opposite of each of the previously mentioned conditions. Day break isContinue reading “Why Daybreak?”

The Life Coach as Change Agent

And here I go again with yet another science reference. This one is chemistry based. A life time ago we learned about the states of matter. We learned that water as an example, can be found as solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (as steam). Further, we learned that heat plays the largestContinue reading “The Life Coach as Change Agent”

Life Coaching? Say what?

Life coaching? Sure, I had heard the phrase, but I can’t say I had a full clue what it meant. Nor did I see the personal value in it enough to investigate let alone solicit the help of one. It was only after being exposed to a very small portion of the life coaching world,Continue reading “Life Coaching? Say what?”
