- Parts that Make the Whole… or Not By Michaela Scherr
There are many parts that make up you.There’s the Musical You, the Friendly You, the Amazing You, the Genius You, the Calm You, the Peaceful You, and many more parts that make up who you are – much like an identity check list:All round good guy/gal part — check
Uniquely amazing you part — check
Witty and intelligent part — check
Lovable and charming part — check
Moody and indecisive part — who me??? Never?
Selfish and greedy part — not me! Never?
Self opinionated — Nope, not me! Never?We a…
- Coaching vs. Directing - How Does Improv Theater Suggest You Should Lead Your Team By Henrik Kiessler
An age old battle in improv that I believe resonates well with challenges we experience in the business world is the question of whether a team should have a coach or a director (in which case it should be called an ensemble). In addition there’s the third option of the self coached team, which I will call committee from here on forward.Role
- Director: - “Mold” to vision.
- Coach: - “Catalyst”, bring out what is there.
- Committee: Rotation, everybody takes turn coaching the team.Pro’s
- Dire…
- How to Make $100,000 as a Personal Trainer By Greg Ryan
In the movie, “The Gladiator,” Emperor Commodus’ rose to power early on because
he realized what was most important to the people of Rome. Most would believe
influence would be gained by the accumulation of wealth and fame. In Rome it was
neither. The greatness of Rome was found in the “sands of the coliseum.” Rome was
built on the idea of being great. And everyday that was shown in the battles in the
arena.In the day, Rome was not a normal city. Like any progressive city, it had many of …
- How to Slow Your Spinning Mind By David Wood
Have you ever laid in bed trying to fall asleep, but your mind keeps spinning with all the things you need to do? Your thoughts just keep ticking?We wind ourselves up like a motor when we pile on more things than can possibly get done in the time frame have. When we rush to appointments, speed in the car, load up on coffee, smoke on our breaks and make it to places "just in time", it's no wonder some of us can have a hard settling in for the night. Or settling in for the day!So how can we keep…
- How to Adopt a Losing Attitude By Jackie Stanley
We have all heard the expression, “Where your heart is?, your treasure will be also.” Allow me to modify this tried and true wisdom, to create an equally valid point: “Where your thoughts are, your hips will be also.” What do I mean by this? Try this experiment: Take a few seconds to write the first the five words that pop into your head in response to this question: How do I describe myself?For example, you have responded with words like these, “fat,” “old,” or “ugly”. When you’ve fini…
- Dare To Be Inconsistent, Lopsided, And Totally Courageous By Tama Kieves
I was talking to one of my coaching clients and she was talking about not being able to stay with a meditation practice, so she gave up meditating altogether. "I’m either gung ho all the way or I don’t show up at all," she said in disgust. We were talking on an evening when she "hadn’t shown up at all." She had washed dishes instead. You would have thought she had mutilated small children. And gauging the self-attack that followed, I don’t think that meditation would have helped. The Dalai La…
- Executive Coaching and the American President By Stephanie Tuia
Perhaps no one better than a former U.S. president has the right to advise executives:
"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it." -Theodore RooseveltAs a former president, President Theodore Roosevelt might have been reflecting upon his own experiences as the executive presiding over many members of government. His executive coaching reminds leaders that choosing wi…
- Forget Resolutions - Craft A Life Theme That Works By Lisa Martin
How many people do you know who, in January, enthusiastically name their resolution for the year yet somehow neglect to follow through with it a few weeks or months later? Forget making New Year's resolutions. They rarely work because they are often based on "shoulds" versus the bigger picture of your life. What I've found does work is creating a life theme for the year ahead.
Your life theme will be your overriding intention or "big picture" focus for the upcoming months. It has an expiratio…
- The Land Of Purposeful Paradoxes - The Birthplace Of Your Divinely Inspired Life Purpose By Brad Swift
"I have heard it said that heroism can be redefined for our age as the ability to tolerate paradox, to embrace seemingly opposing forces without rejecting one or the other just for the sheer relief of it, and to understand that life is the game played between two paradoxical goalposts: winning is good and so is losing; freedom is good and so is authority, having and giving; action and passivity; sex and celibacy; income and outgo; courage and fear. One doesn't cancel out the other. Both are tr…
- Growing On G.R.O.W – A More Specific Coaching Model For Busy Managers By Allan Mackintosh
The effective coaching of employees by their line managers is fast becoming an expectation from both senior management and from the employees themselves. Many managers are now being taught how best to coach their employees by employing the standard coaching model called G.R.O.W, where G equates to the Goal to be achieved, R to the Reality of the present situation, O for Options available and W for the Way Forward and Will.G.R.O.W, constructed by Graham Alexander and championed by Sir John Whit…
- Helping Relationships: Understanding the Helpee By Saundra L. Washington
One of the most distressing observations I have made among my social work colleagues, is the overwhelming proclivity on the part of many of us so-called helpers, to lack understanding and sensitivity to the position helpees are in when they agree to accept intervention.Many of us take “professionalism” out of context and become more of a burden to families than a helping resource. All to often, we believe we are “experts” (a term used rather loosely these days), and therefore know more about w…
- Our Perception Determines Our Experience By Greg S. Reid
Not long ago, I traveled back east to Ohio and Chicago. While I was there, I was amazed that the friends I made along my journey seemed to have completely different observations of the state in which they lived.For example, when I asked what the winters were like in their town, I got completely opposite answers from people, depending on where they originally lived. When I asked the question of a former Californian, she talked as if she’d landed in Siberia, recounting the snowfall and treachero…
- Personal Core Values: Your Key to Success and Happiness By Douglas Woods
Each of us has our own set of personal values; these are the things which we believe are important, which motivate us and to which we give priority. If I asked you what your personal values are, the chances are that you would struggle to find the answer. You would not be alone; in fact the majority of people would find it hard to answer this question satisfactorily.The reality is that most of us are not fully aware of our own personal values. This is the same as saying that most people are not…
- Strategic Checklists By Robert F. Abbott
I've been through a couple of checklists in the past few days, and it's reaffirmed my faith in their effectiveness as a communication tool.Now, there are at least a couple of ways we can look at checklists in a communication context. First, in the strategic sense, and second in the tactical sense. You'll probably recognize the tactical advantages of using checklists: a clear and logical, as well as economical, way to write.But, let's start with the strategic perspective today, and explore chec…
- What a Difference a Coach Makes By Ken Donaldson
In being a resident of the Tampa Bay area since 1979 I have had front line exposure to the highs and (mostly) lows of our local professional football team, the Buccaneers. However, in 2003, for the first time in team history, the Bucs went to the Super Bowl. This was also the first year that the team had John Gruden as their coach.Coincidence? Probably not.All you sports fans will remember that it wasn’t until Phil Jackson came to coach the Chicago Bulls that Michael Jordan was part of a champ…
- Two Leadership Strategies: Don’t Lose Your Mind & Be a Coach By Teresa Proudlove
Are you feeling overwhelmed, a lack of confidence or under a ton of pressure? Are you trying too hard to make something work and focusing too much on trying to fulfill other people’s needs and expectations? You may have “lost your mind!”My small still voice often speaks to me in cryptic one-liners. I’ll never forget the first time I heard the quiet whisper, “You’ve lost your mind.” And no, I had not lost my mind through hearing strange voices! Rather, this cryptic one-liner was reminding me I …
- Walt Disney, the Inspiration to Form a Better Life? By Neil Millar
You, like many others, may have come to this article because you want more from life. In this sense, you and I may be alike because we’re searching for greater happiness and a stronger sense of fulfillment.If you are someone in your thirties or older, and perhaps western, then you, like me, may have read enough adventure stories or seen enough Walt Disney to have been heartened by the stories of ugly guys, like the beast in Beauty and the Beast, winning the beauty, Belle. I don’t know a…
- Greasing the Path to Success: Finding the Confidence to Step Up to Key Moments By Nina Ham
Whether it’s making a prospecting call to a promising business contact, giving an informal “elevator speech” to a networking group, or attempting to close a transaction, there are certain key moments when putting your best-dressed foot forward really matters. Some of life’s fortunate people seem to be naturally at their best finding confidence under pressure. The rest of us have to learn.Confidence matters.Few would argue that developing confidence is a good investment. You’ll be more comf…
- How To Increase Your Coaching Record By At Least 25% By Matt Zavadil
"How can I become a better and more effective coach?" We
hear this question frequently and there's obviously more
than one answer. Today, let's explore one aspect of better
coaching.You need to identify one or two players on your team you
think can develop into leaders. You see, mediocre coaches
just have a bunch of followers. Superior coaches take the
time to develop leaders that in turn aid the coach in
leading the team to a winning tradition.In his book, "Developing the Leaders Aroun…
- Creating Supportive Environments By Alicia Forest
I’m writing this on my laptop in a Cosi café in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. The reason I am here has nothing to do with me or my business, but the reason I can continue to be successful in my work is because I have set myself up to do so. How? By creating supportive environments. In this case, the laptop, the appropriate software, and the ability to connect to the Internet, as well as the support of my husband, all contribute positively to my accomplishment of the task: writing and submi…
- Three Great Ways to Deal with Negative People By Peter Murphy
1. Do not believe everything you hear!With close friends and family it is not unusual to think that you ought to take onboard everything you hear. However do not confuse caring with knowing.Just because someone is concerned for your welfare does not mean that their advice or input has value. For example, I know a lot about peak performance. I do not know much about car maintenance.If I ever offer you advice on rebuilding a car engine run as fast as you can! My input would have little or no val…
- Your Mindset Determines Your Success in Life By Sopan Greene
To keep at the top of your game you have to keep a clear head. You can't afford to fill up on news and negativity. The world's overflowin' with it and the only way to be a winner is to be in control of your thoughts.Your thoughts become words, your words become actions and your actions become your destiny. Someone else came up with that, but I've always remembered it because it's true. Our actions show who we truly are and how shallow or deep our character is.Where you are today is a direct re…
- "What's Next" Syndrome By Paul Shearstone
Terms like Postpartum, Post Traumatic and Post Gulf War are all well-known Syndromes - mysteries no longer to the medical community or even those of us who count ourselves among the great unwashed. We hear and read everyday about the negative outcomes from life-threatening trauma. The 9/11 attacks in New York City demonstrate all too clearly the psychological devastation left behind long after upsetting occurrences.Depression [for some, chronic] is often the most obvious symptom that denotes …

- My Life As A Life On Purpose Coach By Brad Swift
Have you ever reflected back over your life and the people who have made significant contributions to where you are today? When I do, one person who comes immediately to mind is Judy Billman, my first coach. I hired Judy back in the mid 80's when no one knew what a 'business coach' was, so Judy called herself a business consultant. Lucky for me, she was really a coach. Most of our work together was having me look within myself and seeing 'who I was being that was keeping my foot nailed to the …

As a young consultant I really thought I had it all together. I was getting great ratings, great raises, and wonderful accolades from clients. Because I (in my own mind) thought I was such hot stuff, I was not active in seeking out advice from more experienced colleagues. After all, what could they teach me?As I matured from an inexperienced hot-shot to an experienced manager, I developed a much stronger appreciation for the wisdom my more experienced colleagues could impart.

2. Coaching Celebrities By Mary Gardner
I’ve kept the same cell phone number for the past 7-8 years. I’ve lived in NYC, NC and now Florida and in all that time, I’ve never changed phone numbers. Nor will I. Sure, it’s inconvenient for my mom who lives across town to have to dial a NYC phone to get me and I’m only a few miles away, but for me it’s worth it.I have clients that still call me periodically for coaching that used this cell phone years ago. They like knowing that I’m just a call away if they need me. Several of these clie…
3. Curbing the Public Nuisance (Part 1) By David Leonhardt
He's been around since the dawn of humanity. His profession is even older than the world's oldest profession. He's been loathed and reviled by politicians, bureaucrats and hot dog vendors.I am speaking, of course, of the public nuisance.He was that slithery dude in the Garden of Eden, taunting folks to shoplift. "Go on. Take a bite of the apple. The grocer will never know it's misssssing."Even in caveman days, the public nuisance was the one who would always have a practical joke to play o…
