The first question I have to ask is, is it really perfect? (By the way, the answer to that is always yes. Human nature.)
It’s hard not to take pride of authorship, and this somehow seems to get worse in the face of stress or insecurity, doesn’t it?
We have a word for this in coach-speak. It’s called “uncoachable.” This is the person who has to be right even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Finding Value in Unproductivity

I went to my friend’s lakehouse this weekend with several friends. My plan was to get some work done while the rest of the group were out fishing. (I fish, but not when it is cold and drizzly.) I didn’t even get out my work bag, and honestly, I was kind of bummed because I didn’t even have the inclination to something done.

Top 3 Tips for Choosing a Great Coach
Photo by Todd Lappin
Imagine…. I am standing high on my soapbox.
Last week, I got an invite to a teleseminar “How To Get Started As A Coach (Even Part-Time), Be Well-Paid
To Share What You Know And Help Lots of People” I should have known from the “part-time” that I wouldn’t like what was going to be said. This was a “get rich quick” type thing, and it’s misleading…. and infuriating as the “Coach in a Box” people are unleashed on the world.

Bet you can’t guess what it is…
Last week, we explored how active, real Listening is the key for creating great solutions out of conflict. Surprise, surprise, it is also the key to your getting what you want out of life. The second biggest secret to having what you want is to be in constant service to others. How can you be in service if you don’t know what people want and need? You could guess, or you could just ask a question and pay attention to the answer. Which sounds like a more direct route?
50% of the Workforce Cannot Form a Trusting Relationship: What now?
Last year, I read Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain by Sharon Begley and came across the concept of Attachment Theory and had a Vivid Epiphany about why larger workplaces can be so dysfunctional, about why mistrustful and judments abound once an organization reaches a certain size.
Since then, I have amassed materials from several universities. The concept is fascinating, and I believe it is pivotal to transforming organizations into thriving, profitable communities of creative thinking.

Top 3 Reasons Why Gift Giving is Good
Critter underneath the Christmas Tree
I’ll start this with an admission: we abdicated on the holiday season this year. There are no latkes, no tree, no gifts, with the exception of those to non-profits such as Best Friends and the Heifer Project.

Transform your Overloaded, Underperforming Brain into an Efficient, Overachieving Machine (Part 3)
