Coaching Change In Others and Yourself
Jobs are lost every day for one reason. Relationships end every day for the same reason. Organizations fail every day for the same reason. People die every day for the same reason. The reason – change is hard.
Self Improvement
Time to Make a Change?
What would you change if you had the time, money, self-control, courage, ability, or whatever resources were required? Or think about it this way, what annoyance or issue might you be complaining about that you would like to eliminate?
Gratefulness and Joy – From Abundance or Adversity?
If abundance potentially inhibits gratefulness and happiness, should prosperous people sell all their possessions and give away all their conveniences so they can become grateful and happy?
What’s More Engaging – Humility or Pride?
If you’re like many people, your first reaction might be to impress by talking about yourself. You might think a little name dropping, references to your achievements, anecdotal mention of your capabilities, or use of a sophisticated vocabulary would be the way to go. You wouldn’t think self-deprecation and humility would be most appropriate if you were hoping to impress someone.
Patience – A Virtue or Liability?
There are few other attributes that are so dependent on context. Many attributes, like honesty, courage, passion, and having a can-do attitude, are not as dependent on context. With few exceptions, they are considered a virtue. Patience, however, can be a liability or an asset depending on the circumstances.
