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.
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
Opportunity
There are two schools of thought about opportunity. The first is that it is dependent on chance, and if you're lucky, and in the right place, at the right time, it may fall into your lap. The second is that we create our own opportunities.
Ideal vs Reality
Coaching Thought:
Very often, our biggest stress in life is created by us wanting reality to be different to what it actually is. We waste a lot of time and brain energy wishing things were different. This builds inner tension and leaves us little energy to deal with and face what's in front of us. Either we need to take action and change the situation or we need to face challenges, deal with them and move on.
Coaching Questions:
- How well do you deal with the day to day realities of your life?
- How does wanting things to be different affect you?
- How could you be easier with dealing what is?
