WORDS THAT INSPIRE

A monthly quick shot to motivate you, in less than 45 seconds, from Julie Cohen Coaching

How might your PEACE impact the world?

Dictionary*says:

State of tranquility or quiet, freedom from civil disturbance, a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war.

What it REALLY means:

The feeling of contentment with your life at present; your state of being when things feel comfortable, at ease, light; time in which you feel centered, calm and well.

Why it MATTERS?

Creating PEACE lessens worry, increases pleasure and enhances your 'here and now'. More PEACE in your life allows for more enjoyment and appreciation of your life.

Questions that INSPIRE:

? Describe your most recent experience of PEACE. How did it feel?

? What can you do, think or experience differently to bring more PEACE in to your life?

? How does greater PEACE impact you and your life?

? How might your PEACE impact the world?

? Does PEACE conflict with excitement and adventure?

? Can you have PEACE amongst chaos? How?

Courage and the Agony of Coaching Employees
Coaching employees on sensitive and personal topics like performance or contribution to the organization can be as difficult and agonizing as telling a young son or daughter about sex for the first time. You end up playing the same mental games in your head over and over again: "What should they be told? How much do they already know? (Or how much do they want me to think they know?) How much detail should I go into?" If you are unable to answer any of these penetrating questions, you tend to put the task off for another six months.

Potential
One of the most often mis-understood aspects of self-development is the concept of potential. We are often told that we can achieve our full potential, however, what does this really mean? When the focus is building self-esteem and motivating individuals to do better, there is often the implication that potential is a destination or an end-point that can be reached, and if we just strive for "it", we will reach "it".

It's All To Do With The Way You Wake Up
Do you start your day with anger, frustration and annoyance at the alarm and the need to get up? Do you wake up hoping the day will go away and you can get back to sleep? Have you lost the fun? The confidence to have a go at things. Are you struggling along? Are you just going through the rituals of life? Are you just doing enough at work? Doing what is necessary because you think you 'ought, should, must do this for the sake of others? Do you feel all washed up and no one is interested in you? Do you feel devoid of vibrancy, and sense of purpose, an aimless victim buffeted by the winds of change? It's all to do with the way you wake up.
