452. How Appetizing Is Your Feedback? (How to Motivate with Positive Communication) By Ed Sykes
     Recently, I was watching a rerun of the successful television show, The Cosby Show. The patriarch of this professional family (He is a doctor and his wife is a lawyer.) played by Bill Cosby, was just told by his college-bound daughter that the boyfriend she brought home to meet him was really her fiancé. He was disappointed with the news. Disappointed not in the young man or what he did (he was a “maintenance engineer”), but in the way he was told about this engagement.Mr. Cosby said that t…

454. The Value of Coaching to Support Your Business and Your Life By Joe Rubino
     In our daily lives as well as in our businesses, we typically operate from the perspective of doing the best we know how to do in dealing with life’s challenges and opportunities. If we knew what it would take to be more effective in our relationships, more productive in our activities or more successful in reaching our goals, we would surely alter our behavior to correspond with these insights. The only access we ordinarily have to impact our lives comes from the areas of “what we know” and “…

456. Different New-Year's Resolution - Pass-It-Forward By Nisandeh Neta
     Every 12 months, as the New-Year rolls around, we all brag about our New-Year's Resolutions. With inflated chests and with all the authority we can muster, we announce to any and every available ear, that we're going to lose weight, stop drinking and smoking so much, as well as spend more time with our family, in addition to investing more time down at the gym.Mostly our vision extends no further than our own noses. To add insult to injury, we usually don't follow through on our "Me Orientate…



457. Among the Purpose & Personality By Nilesh Gore
     I have one magical thought, lets see it more closely. Every one has purpose of life. Some holds good for self, family, a society, state, nation, religion, world, etc.Personalities are engaged to realize the purpose by executing definite plans & process.It is an interesting, amazing accepted norm of society that on several occasions, we neglect & forget the “P R O C E SS ” & the “P U R P O S E”.We only remember the personalities and spend time & energy on discussing personalities and how to ch…



458. Why a Coach is NOT a Consultant By Ally Moll
     Often while talking to people about my coaching practice I get asked what the difference is between a coach and a consultant. Many people believe they are either the same thing or very similar. This is untrue. There are many distinct differences between someone who coaches and someone who consults.First lets start with a definition of both.Coaching is an interactive relationship with an individual or team that inspires people to identify and accomplish their personal and professional goals …

462. Becoming An Information Filter And A Knowledge Sponge By John Di Lemme
     As the title states, "Become an Information Filter and a Knowledge Sponge." On your daily journey to achieve your WHY, you will travel through many different avenues and sometimes you will ask yourself, "Why do I need to meet this person or experience this situation?"

I always say that you were born with 4 inputs (2 eyes, 2 ears) and 1 output (mouth).W…



463. 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…

     The other day I was late for something. Not very late. In fact, I was actually on time but an angry voice berated me anyway, saying, "You are late! There will be no seats left. You wouldn't run late if you were more organized!" It was a terrible feeling, especially because the voice was partially right.Who was this voice yelling at me? It was my nemesis – the Shrew who lives in my head.We all get annoyed at ourselves from time to time; it is only natural. But for some of us, it can become an u…



465. Reduce Anxiety About Decison Making By Kathy Gates
     What’s the alternative to making decisions?Allowing someone else, or circumstances, to make them for you.And that is giving up control of your life. That’s giving up all power to your life to other people or circumstance.

Unacceptable!So when faced with decision anxiety, is the alter…



466. What I Would Include In A Coaching Book By Stephanie Tuia
     A coach is an essential figure in providing direction and leadership to his/her team. In sports, coaches are sometimes evaluated on the number of wins they can produce.

From an athletic standp…

472. Searching For Your Calling – Quest or Curse? By Nina Ham
     Judging by the extraordinarily positive reader response to Po Bronson’s What Should I Do With My Life?, people are aching for a sympathetic outlook on their stories of career dissatisfaction. They tend to be their own harshest critics, often riddled with self-doubt and embarrassment about not getting this “career thing” right. Maintaining a constructive attitude is challenging.

474. It's Not What You Think Coach, It's What You Do By Chris Stowell
     If you are like the leader or employees in the research we have conducted, you would have little difficulty describing the elements in an effective coaching session. Even ineffective leaders could correctly define what should occur. The difference was that the ineffective leader was inhibited or could not apply or enact the desired behaviors when asked to do so in a real-time coaching session. The effective leaders, on the other hand, were able to apply the desired behaviors.What causes the…



475. Don't Be Jealous - Be Inspired By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee
     When we see people do things we cannot do, or have things we don't have, it might be tempting to be a little jealous. But, jealousy doesn't lead to anything except resentment, and that isn't going to help you. Instead of being jealous of others, focus on being inspired. Let the success of others move you forward toward your own success. After all, people who are doing things you want to do or have things you want are examples of what is possible for you.When I see people doing things I wan…
