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
Innovation
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. - Edward de Bono, Maltese physician, author, inventor and consultant. He originated the term lateral thinking, wrote the book Six Thinking Hats and is a proponent of the deliberate teaching of thinking as a subject in schools.
Authenticity
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want. - Margaret Young, American musician 1900-1968

'The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.' -Steve Jobs
Congruence
Coaching Thought:
'Nothing so conclusively proves a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.'- Thomas J. Watson Sr.
Enthusiasm!
Coaching Thought:
'Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.' ~Dale Carnegie.
Legacy 2
Coaching Thought:
'Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes you made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched in some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower that you planted, you’re there.'
