Coaching Thought: What do you really, really, really want?

Coaching Thought: What do you really, really, really want?

Do you know what you want for your life? I mean really, really, really want? Think about it for a moment…I’ll wait. It is an intriguing throught, isn’t it? It is the first question I ask all my clients before we start coaching together and nine out of ten times, the response is one of two things, a very quiet, “I don’t know” or an energetic, “I’ll tell you what I want. I don’t want my job. I don’t want my house. I don’t want to feel the way I do.” You get the picture. Most of us aren’t actually aware of what we want because we are painfully aware, and focused on, what we don’t want.

A Coaching Moment: Resistance is Futile

A Coaching Moment: Resistance is Futile

Sigh…resistance. My dictionary defines it as “hostility to, refusal to accept, opposition, fight, stand, struggle”. Resistance is our own, personal “fight” against change in our lives and it shows up as mind games that give us “excuses” for not stepping out of our comfort zone, to keep us in our “safe”, little box.
