Coaching Thought:

Fear keeps us playing a small game, nervous to put our heads above the parapet, hiding in the safety of a lukewarm life. But people who spend all their time thinking about problems are in danger of imagining a false reality. Challenges are there to lift us to higher performance. We must do something, and stop wallowing in fearful thoughts.  'Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will!' W. Clement Stone.

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.
