Coaching Thought:

'Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And 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. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.' ~ Steve Jobs

Coaching Thought:

This magical universe is so faithful in waiting for us to get out of our own way. No matter how long you have gone astray, when you take action, the universe moves to support the act. Move in the direction of your goals and watch the magic flow. ~ Dr Steve Maraboli

Coaching Thought:

'The biggest mistake we could ever make in our lives is to think we work for anybody but ourselves.'  ~ Brian Tracy. Most of us are too busy doing our day to day jobs, but our careers are far too important to ignore and hope for the best, or to leave in the hands of anyone else.  Like our goals, we need to have a direction and outcome, and we need a plan to get there, and we need to work it. We need to be taking strategic moves and upskilling ourselves accordingly, in order to be in the next best position on the chessboard of our careers. This is our responsibility.

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.

If you believe, as I do, that your employees truly are your most valuable asset, you will do whatever you can to help them do their jobs as well as possible.~ Harvey Mackay
