Andrew tossed and turned, he couldn’t sleep. He felt like he had given it his best shot but lost the contract. It plagued him and kept playing on his mind. What had he done wrong? Was he really too bold, even arrogant? How could he have handled it differently? To make things worse, the lead […]

I felt so angry. It really shouldn’t have mattered. It wasn’t really that important. I didn’t plan to be angry, I mean it’s not something I plan, but suddenly that was how I found myself. In an instant I had gone from content and happy to mad as a cut snake. If you had asked […]

I woke up one morning and my stomach felt like it had been tied in knots. You know the feeling – the uncomfortable mass that sits there and just won’t go away. Anxiety manifests itself in other ways too… uneasiness, heart palpitations, sweaty outbreaks, sleeplessness, dizziness or nausea. Depending on the day that worrisome feeling […]

I was talking to a friend the other day when a comment he made jumped out at me… “It was over three years ago, but I still feel so offended and hurt”. I saw the pain flash through his eyes and heard the sigh of resignation. He was convinced this wound would never heal. His […]

Have you ever sat in a pool till it was perfectly still? Was it really perfectly still? Try as you might, even the slightest muscle twitch sends ripples through the water. Our lives are just like that. We may try to isolate ourselves or convince ourselves that the choices we make and the things we […]

If you are anything like me, some days are tough. In fact, some weeks or even months can be tough. Things don’t work out like you hoped, planned or even strived for. You begin to feel down or, dare I say it, even a little depressed. We all want to be successful, or at the […]

No one wants to end up on the wrong side of the law. Getting caught up in a legal battle is invariably expensive and the cost goes way beyond the hip pocket. It is time consuming, energy draining, emotionally taxing and can often be highly damaging to one’s reputation. Fortunately, as far as we are […]

How often do you hear people excuse their bad behaviour by saying, ‘it’s just the way I am’, ‘I’ve always been this way’ or ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’? The truth is, it really is just an excuse. If you are over 40 and you haven’t paid any attention to brain research […]

Many people imagine the perfect life to be one where it is all smooth sailing, a tropical paradise, simple peaceful and fun. Unfortunately, that is not the way most of us experience life. Storms come, clouds block the sun, the wind whips us and things turn ugly – its just the way it goes. Life […]

I have to admit that I have been a bit of a skeptic about some of the more abstract coaching technologies like Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP). In my early days of coaching the majority of NLP ideas and concepts I encountered made little sense to me – in fact, it all looked a lot like […]

Working with people as they deal with the deepest and most important issues in life is beyond doubt one of the most amazing privileges. Lately, when Iíve been coaching people, Iíve noticed that some particular words keep coming up again and again. The first of them I noticed was “hope”. The most distressing and disturbing […]

If the most common complaint people have is hopelessness, helplessness runs a close second. Helplessness comes from feeling completely disempowered. It always fascinates me how many grown adults live very disempowered lives. It seems commonplace for people to give all their power away to others and feel helpless and completely unable to control the life […]

By Tony Schwartz THINK for a moment about your typical workday. Do you wake up tired? Check your e-mail before you get out of bed? Skip breakfast or grab something on the run that’s not particularly nutritious? Rarely get away from your desk for lunch? Run from meeting to meeting with no time in between? […]
