 Last week we looked at shifting perspective. |
 |  |
This week's coaching resource is about shifting perspective.
I needed one of these last week. I woke up and brought my coffee and alarm clock (my cell phone) downstairs to start my day. I had three steps to go, hands full, puppy and cat following me down. Then, thwap! My cozy puffy socks slid one way and I went the other. Coffee everywhere! Landed very painfully on my arm, foot and bottom.
It was so humbling.
Life has those pesky surprises and what matters most is how we handle them.
I heard of a man that suffered from Alzheimer's. His perspective was so moving.
Anytime someone came through his door he handed them a note that read, "Hi, I may not remember who you are to me, or what your name is, but, please come in and remember how much I care. I look forward to spending time with you today."
He didn't get angry. He chose the most empowering perspective in his circumstances.
Enjoy your week!

Last week we focused on coaching the whole brain. This week we are looking at what to do when the brain is stuck in rumination and circling.
The ICF featured Lisa Rogoff as she discusses steps to take with a client that is stuck in a ruminating pattern. Ending the Rumination Game for Our Clients
Enjoy your week!

There is much confusion around coaching! Yet, the days of being asked "what sport?" are coming to an end! In this video I reveal the distinctions between the top three modalities that cause the most confusion.
Coaching has branched out beyond philosophy, mentoring and advising and is its own distinct discipline with professional ethics and standards clearly defined.
Unfortunately, some people use the title "coach" as a blanket term for "I help people with... therefore I'm a coach" without knowing about the distinct and professional boundaries, processes and modalities that professional coaches are trained in and adhere to.
We invite you to be in the know!

Did you know that giving someone advice lights up only the logical side of the brain?
Did you know that when people are inspired from within and come up with their own answers this lights up the emotional side of the brain?
Guess where follow-through and positive action comes from? The emotional side.
The emotional side of the brain has gotten a bad rap for being subjective or unreliable. YET, this is also the birthplace of inspiration, vision and positive action! When harnessed, emotional inspiration is a powerful tool!
This is the power of coaching. We ask our clients to dig deeper within themselves to find their answers. As they do so, they become: Self-aware, Self-generating and Sustain long-term success.
"Give a man a fish, he is fed for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he is fed for a lifetime."
Today's resource is an article from the International Coach Federation on just how powerful coaching is because it engages the whole brain.
To help the whole person, engage the whole brain!
