Plan Your Professional and Personal Development

Personal and Professional Development are not an event, but a journey. We can never say, "We're done!" There is always something to learn for those with an open and enquiring mind. Don't leave your development to chance and other people's agendas. It's one of your most important assetts and something you are definitely and infinitely in control of. Take charge and consciously plot your own growth.

  • Plan your professional and personal development for the year.
  • Put in the rocks – key events that you really want to attend or achieve.
  • Plan your own year, and do the same for your team and your businmess or organisation – goals, action plans – start the year with a clear idea of where you’re going.

Circle of Influence

Coaching Thought:

'The world is perfect. It’s a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives'. – Joseph Campbell. What a great time to stop worrying about global events and take stock of our own backyards.

Change and Creative Vision

Coaching Thought:

'A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. '– Denis Waitley. It is also a preview of possibilities - if you have the courage to pursue it.

Effectiveness

Coaching Thought:

'Don’t check your smartphone or email first thing; doing so lets others set your agenda. Instead, lay out your top three objectives for the day and only then check incoming email.'   - Mel Robbins, author

Legacy

Coaching Thought:

'..we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. … That’s why your deeds are like your monuments.'  – R.J. Palacio

Growth and Development

Coaching Thought:

'In what areas are you learning and growing? If the answer is none, that means you’re stagnating or regressing. Learn more, earn more, know more, grow more!' –  Rob Liano; coach,  author. Now more than ever, there is no excuse for not upskilling and expanding your knowledge base. Technology in the last Covid year has exploded, and everything is literally at your fingertips. During this period, more learning institutions than ever before have provided free education, courses and resources.  There is almost no subject you can't dig deeper into, if you have a curious mind and a thirst for knowledge. Your physical body may be in lockdown situations, but your mind most certainly isn't. And knowledge is one of life's true treasures, that no one can ever take away from you.

Our Philosophy of Coach Supervision

Supervision involves contracting on 3 different levels – practical, psychological and professional. It helps coaches become unstuck; encourages global perspective to rise above detail and assess the impact on all key players; facilitates making sense of events; increases a coach’s confidence; supports coaches’ professional and personal development.

Tough Choices

In this TED talk, Ruth Chang discusses what makes hard choices so tough for us, how we’ve confused ourselves by thinking that one choice is always better than another, that they can be quantified, and a numerical worth placed on them somehow. What happens when a choice is neither better, worse nor equal to another? The difference probably lies in competing values which can’t be quantified – that’s why tough choices are so hard.

  • Timing and Permission

    Have you ever suggested an idea that didn’t land, only to have it suggested and heartily taken up by someone else a little while later? Ideas based on Michael Grinder’s Professional Development Model explain this.

    Timing and permission are key micro-skills of communication which are often missing in organisations. They are valid in many aspects of communication eg feedback or contributing in meetings.

  • Goals

    The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

  • Letting Go

    Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away, give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it flee from you. Then you have room to grow, to allow magnificent things to fill the vacuum of those seemingly empty places. When you hold onto yesterday, when you hold onto dead and dying adventures, you have no room in your box for greatness. Unknown
