12. Loving Every Phenomenal Part of You By Deborah Shipley
    Have you ever wished yourself away? I am not referring to leaving your precious life on this Earth; but rather, just wished you weren’t a certain way or did not have some particular qualities and mannerisms that were so apparent to you. I know I have.In the past, I’ve had a very difficult time when others would point out my weaknesses to me, either constructively or not-so tactfully.

13. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: How Do You Change the World? By Dorene Lehavi

He clearly has a social conscience and his depictions of the pain and misery of disenfranchised and minority people are so vivid and real you can't help but feel the pain in viewing the paintings.The artist is a warm, friendly, humble man whom I approached with a question, "does he ever paint another side of life?" He seemed interested in engaging in a conversation about it and frankly I was surprised at myself for even appr…



14. The Great Marketing Reframe By Andrea J. Lee
    From grimaces to stomach knots, talking about marketing seems to take on the sound of Charlie Brown's teacher, with so many syllables of "wah WAaah, wah WAah, wah." What does this mean? For starters, I find it terrifying ironic that, when it boils down to it, truly - marketing and coaching are actually ONE. Yes that's right. I may be in the minority, but it’s served me very well to see marketing and coaching with an equals sign between them.  As in they are equivalent. At heart, coaching i…

    Personal or business coaching has helped thousands change their lives and achieve their goals. Yet, for the sceptics it still is a fuzzy concept with little recognition for its benefits.

20. Throw a 'No-Heat' Party for the Planet By Andrea J. Lee
    Is it really possible to have loads of fun, and help the planet at the same time? I remember the first No-heat party I went to. It was on the coldest night of winter that year, according to the Farmer's Almanac. I know, because the hosts actually bragged about it to us... You see, even though It was a @#$% cold minus 40 degrees outside, that party had the windows of the house completely fogged up from our body heat, all night long. The hosts were thrilled, because they'd managed to turn D…



21. Introduction to Performance Coaching By Richard L Williams

Today, much has changed. Sailors have rights, workers have unions, and students are asked for input in the educational process.The person in charge used to have unquestioned authority and ability to command and compel. Strict obedience was bel…



22. It's Not What You Think By Judith Richardson
    My work in organizations involves dropping habitual ways of perceiving in order to contact a fresh and subtle perceiving “under the surface” of what is going on. That deeper sense of perceiving allows the emergence of what I call the Engaging Leader, or the genuine expression of myself and the collective.If we want to develop a deeper, subtler, way of perceiving situations, we need to be relaxed, open, confident, not expecting or demanding anything in particular. And we need to make friends wi…

Researchers in Positive Psychology find that people actually get more done if they take time out to SAVOR their day.

24. What Do You Have To Give? By Deirdre McEachern
    "Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It's a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have.
