Status quo

An interesting conversation this week led me to think about the fact that we're always more protective of the status quo than of what we could have, which is odd as we always moan about the status quo!
You see things and say, why? But I dream of things that
never were and say, why not? George Bernard Shaw
So ask why not, what have you go to lose?

Fear and courage

Spring starts to unfold as Easter disappears behind us, it's a time of change and a great time to focus on personal development. I had a conversation with a client last week week about change, and they said they didn't have the courage to go through with it.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence
of fear." Mark Twain
They have pursued the change they desire, they had the courage, so have you.

Questions and answers

There are times when we all feel that we want to move forward; being able to help people move on from there is one of the great things about being a coach. This week's thought is simple, and can help refocus the thinking.
Are you searching for the answer without understanding the
question?
Have a great week looking to understand the question instead of the answer!

A child's view

Children are great aren't they, they make you realise just how much rubbish we adults put in the way of life.

A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of
wonder and excitement - Rachel Carson


Look at things through a childs view this week, enjoy and have fun!

Leadership

A wonderful sunny and warm weekend and it really feels as if the seasons have changed, excellent news indeed. I was having a conversation with a friend last week about leadership. It's easy to think that leadership is something in business, or that "I don't do leadership"; not so. A key thing about leaders is that they help others to grow, something that we can all do.

"A leader is not known by the number of followers, but the
number of leaders he creates "

Enjoy Easter, help create some leaders
