Continued Learning

Written by

There are many successful people in the world who have had not the advantage of formal education. Some famous high school dropouts are:

Albert Einstein (physicist); John D Rockefeller (oil magnate); John Glenn (astronaut); Steve Jobs (Apple co-founder); Henry Ford (entrepreneur and industrialist).

The qualities they all had in common were consistency, focus, curiosity, persistence, continued self-education, action-taking, calculated risk-taking - qualities we can all choose to focus on and become good at.  There has never been a better time to seek, learn and upskill ourselves.  'While formal schooling is an important advantage, it is not a guarantee of success, nor is its absence a fatal handicap.' ~ Ray Kroc.

 

Coaching Questions:

  • What have I read, watched, studied or heard that has developed or grown me this week?
  • How will I use this new information?
  • What is my plan for my continued growth and development?

  • Goals
    Written by

    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.

  • Communication Style of Great Leaders
    Written by

    The communication style of leaders helps us distinguish great leaders from the wannabes. When facing a problem the great leader says, ‘Let’s find out,’ while the wannabe says, ‘Nobody knows.’

  • Letting Go
    Written by

    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
