  2. Finding a Mentor in the 21st Century By Cathy Goodwin
    Traditionally, mentors volunteer the wisdom of their experiences to help others who wanted to follow in their footsteps. These days, many people have learned to appreciate the value of a good mentor.Therefore, we see messages on discussion boards asking, "Would someone be willing to mentor me?" Total strangers call, asking, "Will you be my mentor?"You may get lucky. You begin a series of one-to-one conversations with someone you respect. Soon, the relationship has evolved into full-scale, help…


  3. Do You Make Less Money Than Your Taller Peers? By C.S. Deam
    A recent study at the University of Florida found that over the span of their careers short people earn less money than their taller counterparts. In terms of cold hard cash, each extra inch in height equals roughly $800 difference in annual pay. So, essentially a person standing at 5 ft 8 inches tall will make about $9600 less annually than someone standing at 6 ft 8 inches tall.It's surprise that in this post-modern era our incomes are influenced so strongly by our physical statures. The fig…


  4. Let Go of Your Past By Garrett Coan
    People have a difficult time letting go of the past because they are held back by unfinished business. They may regret choices they have made or feel guilty about past actions. As long as guilt and regret are not resolved, it is difficult to move forward.The Regret EpidemicRegret is an emotion that feels similar to depression or sadness. It also feels like guilt, but it isn’t the same thing. Sometimes a wave of regret seems to come out of nowhere. You might become aware of it when you lose som…


  5. The Long Way By Wayne Mitchell
    I wrote you about four years ago, when my eight year marriage was ending in divorce. At that time you gave me some great advice about beginning again. After reading the recent letter from Linda and how she "settled" for the wrong man, I felt I had to write an update letter.I can look back now and realize in too many ways, I "settled" in my first marriage. I reaped the results eight years later with a broken heart. After that marriage ended, I chose to live my life to the fullest, to take e…


  6. Your Responsibility By Kenia Morales
    The other day I decided to skip cooking dinner and ordered fast food, and I ended up finding an insect on it. My husband and I were shocked, grossed out, disappointed, and I do not know what else.The insect was not the only gift included; I also found the longest hair ever! After thinking about it, we concluded that it fell on the floor, and they decide to deliver the food anyways.I can easily put myself in their position and imagine; how effortless it is for them not to care because they are…


  7. What's Up With All These Coaches? By Tony Davies
    If you are anything like me, you may have noticed a tremendous increase in the number of coaches that have appeared recently. Traditionally, coaches existed primarily in the world of sports, but you could also find voice, acting and singing coaches.Today however, this has all changed. Lifestyle, relationship, personal development, business, soul, life, leadership, executive, career and countless other types of coaching are now widely available. So what can these coaches do for us?The dictionar…


  8. Mentors and Coaches: How to Be a Great Mentee or Learner By Neen James

You will learn from and avoid the mistakes that they may have made, learn about your industry, meet great people, form valuable relationships and be able to mentor someone in your future.

  9. How Do You Discover and Live Your Passion? By Craig Nathanson
    This is a question we all want to answer……especially in mid-life where everything is suddenly up for questioning. Especially after age 40, when you get this nagging feeling that what you do isn’t really fulfilling and meaningful anymore. Especially when your support structure continues to be more concerned with the mundane aspects of life than with happiness and fulfillment.How do you discover your passion in your work?Another tough question. For me, it was in the middle of teaching a workshop…


  10. Receiving Thanks and Praise - The View from the Other Side By Martin Haworth
    We demand more from those who provide to us and because we are frequently in roles which deliver goods and services ourselves, we are on the receiving end too - of complaints, frustrations and generally poor behaviour.Why is it that when we are on the receiving end, we miss the fact that we ourselves, when we hang up our service-provider-hat at the end of our shift, often end up as 'customers behaving badly' too?Why do we take our own frustrations out on others, the way it has been taken out o…


  11. Mailey’s Introspections [Monday, December 6th 2005] By Mailey Rohner
    As I work with clients as their introspective Inner Peace/Relationship coach, an issue that has come to my awareness is the tendency we have as human beings to stray away from the present moment. Some people tend to live mostly in the past, some live in the future, while still others ricochet from future to past and back to the future again.One man shared recently that he has noticed how he cheats himself out of joy on a daily basis. He spends a lot of time during work feeling guilty about thi…


  12. Voice Care for Coaches By Catherine Franz
    Coaches rely heavily on their voice to service clients. If you also give teleclasses or workshops, voice maintenance needs to be one of their top self-care priorities. This information also applies to singers, speakers, or sales professionals.During flu and cold season, vocal cords become highly sensitized and need as much care as a valuable instrument. Think of your voice, and we should, as an expensive, rare violin. If you were going to play the violin the next day -- same relation as hav…


  13. The Death of the OD Practitioner By Michael Beitler
    In my recent book, “Strategic Organizational Learning,” I made some controversial remarks about the continuing decline in the field of OD. Let me be blunt here: “OD is dead.”My comments and the comments of others, such as those of Jerry Harvey, have enflamed the passions of the few remaining adherents to the faith known as OD. David Bradford and Warner Burke have published a new book, entitled “Reinventing Organization Development,” which appears to be a last stand to defend the faith. (I rece…


  14. How to Deal Effectively with Anxiety By Garrett Coan
    Every human feels anxiety on occasion; it is a part of life. All of us know what it is like to feel worry, nervousness, fear, and concern. We feel nervous when we have to give a speech, go for a job interview, or walk into our boss’s office for the annual performance appraisal. We know it’s normal to feel a surge of fear when we unexpectedly see a photo of a snake or look down from the top of a tall building. Most of us manage these kinds of anxious feelings fairly well and are able to carry o…


  15. Every Obstacle Always Presents an Opportunity By Garret Belisle
    In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone…


  16. Executive Coaching By Chris Stowell
    The higher you climb the ladder in this organization, the less chance you have of getting feedback about your performance. The working rule of thumb is “the farther up you go, the stranger things get,” especially in the way you are reviewed and rewarded. We seem to have time for everything else, but not time to give our top people the kind of reviews they need to help them develop. -Executive level controller Why We Need Executive CoachingToday, executives by the nature of their work (unstr…


  17. Working With Choices By Tony Marven
    Despite our skills, experience or expertise we can still make a meal out of making a choice!Here are some common reasons why people struggle to make choices, and some tips for making them easier.1. Too few options (double bind)Many people fall into the trap of believing that a choice of two represents a real choice when, in fact, it often presents a dilemma. If you are offered the choice of an Indian meal or a Chinese meal, when you actually don't like either, then this isn't much of a choic…

  20. Get Out What You Put In! By Kimberly Stevens
    During a recent coaching session with Mark, I was briefly reminded of how it feels to give your all to your business and have it spit in your face.“I just don’t get it! I’m putting all my time and energy into this business, and I’m still scraping by. I’m so tired of fighting to ‘just to make it’ but this is what I really want to do.”“Tell me about what’s happening in your life,” I inquired.“My wife says I’m spending too much time working, and I know she’s right. But I also know that I’m the on…


  21. Courage and the Agony of Coaching Employees By Chris Stowell
    Coaching employees on sensitive and personal topics like performance or contribution to the organization can be as difficult and agonizing as telling a young son or daughter about sex for the first time. You end up playing the same mental games in your head over and over again: “What should they be told? How much do they already know? (Or how much do they want me to think they know?) How much detail should I go into?” If you are unable to answer any of these penetrating questions, you ten…


  22. You Have A Choice By Michael Lipp
    I’m a relationship coach and, unlike most, I deal with those ‘other’ relationships. Of course, I make love happen without wings and an arrow, but I really make a difference with business relationships, family relationships, community relationships, old and stale relationships and all the rest that we take for granted, lost or forgotten.I’m also an activist for ending hunger and for creating jobs for the homeless. These activities make me think politically. For example, I just found out that…


  23. Do you know WHAT MAKES ME MAD?? It makes me SO MAD I just want to... By David Thomas
    Sound familiar? If you want to manage anger, the only way of doing so is to listen to your self-talk. This doesn’t mean listening to yourself talk. It means listening to your SELF-TALK.It’s quite true that anger is created from within. No matter how much you say—“She made me mad!” “It makes me so mad when…”—the anger comes from YOU, not it or she.Our thoughts about “it” or “she” is actually where the anger comes from. And by changing our thinking we can change the way we feel (for example,…

  25. Miscommunication - Root Cause of Problems? By Michael Lee
    People of two opposing ideas can stir up arguments and fights. It's that situation when one thinks he has the right concept while the other one also believes he has the proper notion. Both of them would try to outsmart each other until one claims victory.Here's an actual example.My girlfriend Riza would sometimes buy me signature clothing. When my Mom founds out how much it costs, she would advise us to budget our money and just buy the affordable ones.A problem occurs when Riza thinks t…

1. Curse of Competence: How Being Good gets in the way of Becoming Great By Jeff Simon
Just before the storms hit last winter, my father-in-law and I replaced 26 feet of fence on my property. I must say, for a couple of non-handyman-sorts like the two of us, it is a very well done fence.The fence posts are appropriately spaced and perfectly vertical. Four nails are equally distributed on the fence boards to allow for shrinking and expanding. The boards are evenly spaced and level across the top and bottom.The whole job took less than five hours from start to finish and several o…

I know what you’re thinking… “Here I am, completely stressed out and overworked, and here’s Barbara telling me that I can change the world by having a conversation! Really…the heat must have fried her brain…”You’re absolutely right. (About the world-changing conversations, not about the fried brain.)

3. Successful Implementation of Company Wide Coaching Programmes By Allan Mackintosh
Ten years ago I was fortunate enough to be heavily involved in the implementation of a company wide coaching programme, both as an employee who was to receive coaching but also as a manager and coach who was expected to regular coach my reports and my peers to enable them to achieve their objectives. I say, fortunate enough, because I found that when I was coached effectively I became really motivated and focused, and when I finally became a proficient coach, I again found it motivational in…

Certainly while your getting your coffee or tea at the coffee house you do.“I want to lose weight.””I want a better job.”“I want to make more money.”Maybe for you it’s travel, education, meeting someone or improving a current relationship.
