It's hard to beat working from home. When you work from home, you have the ability to work around the things going on in your life. You don't have to worry about asking for a day off if you need it or taking a sick day. However, although there are many great benefits of working from home, you won't be able to fully enjoy these benefits if you don't know how to effectively manage your time.

Color coaching can be a lot of fun for the coach and the client. People are often unconscious of how often they use this skill. Every morning when you choose what clothes to wear, you are making decisions based on color schemes. Finding your preference may tell you more about yourself and how you can thrive in your life. Purple is the highest vibration. It is often associated with healing and creativity. Ultra violet rays evoke thought’s of royalty and says ” I’m not we

In a recent issue of my newsletter, Lifestyle and Workstyle REFLECTIONS, I touched upon the concept of a strategic lifestyle plan. Much like the strategy an entrepreneur might use to develop a sound business model, the strategic lifestyle plan serves as a tool to manage one's life more ...

As I watch the U.S. presidential campaigns — complete with polls, interviews, focus groups, and pundits — it occurs to me that each candidate’s basic message has been lost. When you’re starting out in business, or in sales, you’re taught to focus on one solid message, and to share this message ...

Here in Canada, we are starting our Thanksgiving weekend. While timing is great to get a long weekend, the name thanksgiving means so much more to me than three days were the work world shuts down; it brings gratitude to the forefront!

Once we recognize how little power we have over anyone else's life, we are often more willing to focus on creating a fabulous one of our own. Besides, if our own life works, we won't care so much about what anyone else is doing or not doing. Here are some great tips for making your life the one you love: Start listening to yourself: What makes you happy? What puts a skip in your step, a song in your throat? Your body tells you the truth. Listen. Try this: put you hand on yo

Goal tending in Basketball is a capital crime! But in life … tending to your goals and aspirations is not only ideal … it's significant to success for your own Personal Good. It has become quite apparent as of late to bash goal setting entirely! Most comment that it’s a waste of time! But I beg to differ I believe that goals are the seeds of dreams, and a dream is like the culmination of your endeavors, guiding you ... leading you ... and propelling you towards your des

During our recent vacation to Park City, Utah, one morning I was enjoying my coffee while overlooking a peaceful pond, and was surprised by several hot air balloons making their way high up into the sky. The colors of each balloon were bright, vivid, and unique. Some were like rainbows; others ...

Do you like to avoid pain? You can accomplish this by avoiding the mistakes that have been made by me and others. Do not spend more than fifteen or twenty minutes in a public restroom. I spent about an hour in a fast-food restaurant restroom nearly fifteen years ago. A manager threatened to call the police. If you eat out, leave the restaurant after you finish eating. One time I stayed at a fast-food restaurant watching the lobby television after I finished eating. The rest

A new year means new beginnings, an opportunity to renew the self. A time to start fresh, we enjoy creating resolutions and setting new goals. The energy of a new year brings a renewed sense of hope as many people look forward to making personal changes in their life.

rnAnd then I heard it. Far away… a rumble that was getting louder, and louder… You’ll hear it too if you listen closely enough. It’s a deep inner knowing, it’s a sensation of peace and quiet determination. Nothing can stop it. When you hear it, you know that something has to change but you have no idea how to go about it. Let me be clear: it’s not adesire to change, or a thought that maybe you could do something different - it’s a visceral reaction, it’s a nee

And Who Heals Me? Over a year ago, I went on a journey to look at some real fuzzy philosophical questions. “Who Am I?”was dealt with years ago, but “What Is My Purpose?” remained vague. I went on a real journey to discover what it is about past employment that I loved ...

Life Coaching in Gold Coast as a career option may seem to be a very unfathomable professional choice for some. The modern world which is changing by leaps and bounds is yet to fully understand the complication of the mind and psychological ailments often affecting individuals worse than contagious diseases. Life Coaching is often confused or misrepresented to be a trade which grows by thriving on less fortunate souls, who are not blessed with enough capabilities to believe i

Do you ever find yourself talking in circles? Conversations seem to cover the same ground time after time – almost as if you’re lost in the mist and walking in a circle, back to the same landmarks again and again. Being lost is no fun for anyone. And it takes time – conversations like this at work or in your team or voluntary group can be very frustrating. One way of starting to make some forward progress is to ask questions. When you are curious, and ask someone for more d

When I was young, my Dad used to say: “There’s no such word as can’t“. This inevitably would be his response when I moaned and said; “I can’t do it!” Dad’s response was frustrating, because he simply would not accept my version of what I thought I could not do. And so I would go away and try again–or find another way. Once I cheekily tried to counter Dad’s view by explaining ‘can’t’ was simply a contraction of the words ‘can not’. Dad was not amused and he stood firm with his

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. - Dr. Laura Schlessinger nnI have an admission to make. Quite often I know exactly what I am going to write about and then something happens during the week that throws me off at a complete tangent. nnIn the beginning, the divergence may seem somewhat insignificant and then the penny drops, the message appears and I am compelled to write about it. And this article is one such example. nnI went to visit

Well, we are coming to the end of the first good weather (supposedly) long weekend of the year. For my American friends, we celebrate “Victoria Day” the weekend ahead of Memorial Day, a tie to our British roots. I feel for those with cottages and those who are campers. If people were ...

Research has demonstrated that the state of our environment has a big impact on our productivity, and our feelings of well-being.

Rather, creating an orderly environment might just be a metaphor for your thinking process. Putting material things in their place is good practice for putting mental things in their place. nnHere are a few tips to h

15 years ago my personal, internal life hit a wall. Exte ally things looked OK, internally they were horrible. I was at a bottom spiritually and emotionally, self-esteem was gone, and those I cared the most about in my personal life were pulling away. I had lost sight of goal setting, had lost ...

GET REAL (with expectations) Another one of those readings that struck a chord, and reminded me of universal truths in life and recovering an abundant life! I am a very avid golfer; some have even accused me of being addicted to the sport. Funny, what I really like about golf is the sociability of the game coupled with the natural outdoors setting. At my darkest times, I found more serenity on the golf course than in any other spot on earth. People assume because you play a lot and are passionate, that you are good at it. For me and golf, this is not the case.

Rejection can cause a particularly deep form of anger, because rejection seems to carry with it a heavy load: loss of self-esteem, and even of identity. Rejection can also result in depression. Sometimes it takes this shock of rejection to make you realize that you may have been asking for toolittle in life and to get moving to do something about it. You may have settled for what you thought you could have, not what you really wanted.r

Last week, the Women’s Club in my community celebrated men and women over the age of 90 by hosting a dinner and entertainment event in their honor. I read about this event in the local paper and was struck by one interview with a woman who was born in 1912 (she’s 96!). Her photo depicted a woman ...

In my last article, I talked about “stress stupidity” and how it causes us to make mistakes and lose time. It actually does more than that: A recently released Yale University study, published online the week of January 9, 2012, in the journal Biological Psychiatry, shows that stress causes the brain to shrink because the stress hormones eat away at brain tissue, literally making holes in your brain.

We live in a youth-oriented society, where the fastest growing group, the Baby Boomers, learned, “Never trust anyone over thirty.” They’ve probably extended that limit by now; I haven’t checked recently to see what it is. 60? 70? We see ads everywhere for products and services to erase wrinkles, get rid of flab (painlessly and quickly), and make your teeth whiter than nature intended (without giving up coffee or red wine). So let’s look at a few facts:

Another weekend over, and some very good reminders and perspectives. I was very fortunate to get three golf games in on three days, and to have a chance to do something nice for my dear old mother. Friday we had a good buddy down from Peterborough. He is a great athlete, about my age, and has ...

TRY-ATHALON nnIf you accept that success equals ‘what you know’ multiplied by ‘whom you know’, it stands to reason that in order to be successful there’s no point in hiding your light under a bushel. nYou might have the greatest skill, the most encyclopedic knowledge or the finest talent in the world but if the right people in the right places don’t know that you exist, you may eventually harbor the irreversible regret of wondering what might have been. n nNo matt

I've recently been asked by my coach and several coaching clients the question: "What could someone have said to you when you were working 80+ hour weeks, and enjoying every minute of them, to convince you that there was a way to live a more balanced life?" To answer this question, I've had to ...

Do you have any idea what a powerhouse you are, naturally? The potential energy within you alone could light up the largest city of several million people closest to you. That’s LA for me, it was Boston before. What is the one closest to you? Get that city in your mind and imagine it standing in darkness. In your imagination, make a decision to activate your potential power and light up your nearby city. Visualize the lights coming on until the city is fully lit. Isn’t it

It’s taken me a long time to learn, and I was reminded again in working with a client today, I have the right to be wrong. Oft times, upon reflection, I am wrong. New behaviors dictate that when I know I am wrong, I promptly admit it, and make amends when needed. I’ve also learned ...

When you are looking for the chance to get ahead in the workplace - meaning, when you want to find a job that’s better than the one have or you just want to be sure that you can get in the door and work your way up - one of the most important things that you can do is to have a great resume. Simply put, if your resume doesn’t grab the attention of the recruiter, HR person or manager, you are unlikely to get the interview.
