| Article Title :: Getting to Grips with Business Coaching |
| |
| Phil Ashforth of Synergy Coaching argues the case for using a Business Coach.The first thing that many business owners will ask is, “What is a Business Coach?” and the second, “Why would I need one?”When you ask most people, they will rightly associate coaching with sports, athletics or football. It has only really been in the last thirty years or so that coaching as a profession has really developed into a serious industry, and that the world of business has fully adopted coaching alongside many other business support functions.Often, businesses fear approaching business coaches due to concerns over competence, (there is no formal regulation in the UK current (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Death of the OD Practitioner |
| |
| In my recent book, “Strategic Organizational Learning,” I made some controversial remarks about the continuing decline in the field of OD. Let me be blunt here: “OD is dead.”My comments and the comments of others, such as those of Jerry Harvey, have enflamed the passions of the few remaining adherents to the faith known as OD. David Bradford and Warner Burke have published a new book, entitled “Reinventing Organization Development,” which appears to be a last stand to defend the faith. (I received a complimentary copy of the book this week. Considering my views of OD, it is quite a compliment indeed.)For the uninitiated, let me briefly discuss what OD practitione (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Develop One-hour Workshops to Increase Your Visibility |

If you follow a simple formula, you can minimize the challenges and increase the WOW factor.1. Pick a compelling topic and title.2. Include the five key components: buy-in lead, one big idea, a list of steps, or an overview of a process or topic, a demonstration or hands-on component, and a conclusion that includes a call to action.3.

| Article Title :: Life Coaching Defined |
| |
| Five years ago I had never heard of the term ‘life coach’, let alone think that I would one day be one. However, life coaching is spreading very quickly in the UK. Type ‘life coach’ into any internet search engine and you will find an almost bewildering amount of directories and websites all offering coaching services.So, what is it?Imagine your life as a journey. Sometimes along the way there are places you want to get to, but the path seems complicated and there are many distractions and false turnings. You lose your map. You perhaps have tried to get to this place before, but you never made it – something got in the way or it was too difficult.Perhap (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What in the HECK can a Personal Coach Do? |
| |
| I just wanted to spread the word about Life Coaching and what it can do to help just about anyone. No, not every coach is suited for every client but the right coach/client combination is such powerful tool.I hear different variations of the following questions and statements a lot: "What can a coach do for me?", "I can't afford to pay a coach!", "What does SHE know that I don't know?", "I don't need a stinkin' Coach!" Ok, well I tossed the word "stinkin'" in there (smile) but I do know there are many people who could benefit from the power of coaching but feel they don't need it.Well hopefully the following can open some eyes to the magic of this wonderful tool!Coach (read full article) |

| Article Title :: It's About Love |
| |
| What a wonderful word and what a powerful emotion. So much can be expressed using that word. From the sublime to the profound, it can be stretched to many uses.I was re-reading Napoleon Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich" and came across something about love that I would 'love' to share with you. (Sorry, couldn't help that)."If you believe yourself unfortunate, because you have 'Loved and Lost,' Perish the thought. One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about it's depart (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choosing a Mentor to Help You Succeed |
| |
| Are you lost? Are you searching for something in life yet never seem to find it?If you want to be successful at something, perhaps the easiest way is to look for somebody who is already successful in that field. Once you have done that you can then model yourself around that person. For instance, if you want to learn guitar find a good guitarist who can either teach you personally or, if that is not possible, you can copy the way they play.Make sure that the person you choose is successful. What would be the sense in taking advice from somebody who has no experience? Many people do just that. They listen to somebody who has no idea. Often such a person is a family member or (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Presence |
| |
| An important ingredient in pursuing your greatest aspirations is presence. I define presence as a state of being in which you are fully aware and knowledgeable about your self, others, and the world around you. With presence, you have awareness of not only your potential and purpose, but also about the development of your potential and purpose. In other words, you know what contributions are being made to who you are and what you can do as you go about your day-to-day living. With this knowing, you are in a much better position to pursue those activities and situations that are in sync with your capabilities and ultimate goals.There are two very important components of Presence (read full article) |
