Goals versus Vision

I must say I have a bit of an issue with goals. I feel that goals, as soon that they are set, become things to strive for. They are there, you are here and you need to push yourself in order to achieve them. Something about goals feels a bit “cold”. It is as if [...]

Re-framing

Consider how powerful a coach you will be when you can improve a client’s life. Not by changing all their circumstances – which they are busily trying to do – but by reframing their perspective. Re-framing isn’t about changing someone’s mind. Instead, it is about creating a shift in consciousness to help the client see things [...]

Action or Creation?

Most [new] coaches are obsessed with results. “I need to get my client into action!” is the popular belief. We strive to have our clients set themselves SMART goals, make action plans and committ to act. We give them field work, we hold them accountable and we enthuse them into moving forward. Is that process [...]

Act, Do Not Re-Act

There are many differences between acting and reacting. So many in fact that we could say they are totally different things. In fact, they also come from completely different places. For one acting and reacting come from different parts of the brain. Reacting was meant for us to be able to protect ourselves in situations [...]

And looking at the state of our world and relationships nowadays, it is easy to conclude that indeed we are animals. Not very good ones even, since animals tend [...]

Quantum Physicists say that the mere act of observing an event interferes with it. Experiments that took place to determine the nature of light (wave or [...]

Is Accountability a negative word?

Few people like accountants. But does accountability only refer to accountants and their annoying habits of accounting for everything? The good news is that no. Accountability in the coaching world refers only to you. Accountability is all about responsibility. So beware next time you declare that you cannot stand accountability since you will be indirectly [...]

I want to acknowledge you for getting out of bed today…

Ever felt like building an acknowledging machine? A machine that would understand you and validate each and everyone of your moves, at least those that were not devoid of good intentions? A machine that would “appreciate” you, just that? A machine that would look for the good in you instead of trying to find fault [...]

Structures and you, provided you are “coachable” of course…

What? Isn’t everybody “coachable”? In theory, yes… but wait a minute… What if I think that life is something that happens to me? That it was all meant to be and that all I can do about my present circumstances is suffer and whine? Or that in fact if it were left to me I [...]
