New Year, New You?
by Sarah Thayer

Is being selfish, selfish?
by Claire Mackenzie
I have a guilty TV secret – Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Every year, along with much of the UK, I enjoy the witty repartee of Ant & Dec and getting to know the campmates, seeing their relationships develop over the weeks as they endure endless trials and living on the jungle diet of rice and beans.
What am I waiting for?
by Claire Mackenzie
What causes that stuck feeling, a reluctance to start a task or feeling there is never enough time. I’ve spent many hours watching Ted talks and googling articles about time management, time boxing and time effectiveness trying to answer this question and not doing the task I meant to be doing!
Procrastination is defined as the action of delaying or postponing something.
How Much Will It Cost?
by Sarah Thayer
This is a familiar question when deciding to engage in some coaching - or any kind of personal development for that matter. It's a question I have also always been aware of myself, whenever I decide I want to make more changes in my life, which I know I won't be able to achieve by myself.
You are YOUR responsibility!
by Hellena Ajani
Would you consider YOURSELF as part of your regular responsibility or simply the vehicle that enables you to fulfil your responsibilities? Did you know that the first set of responsibility you have is to yourself? When was the last time you took responsibility for yourself! Not the kind of responsibility you have to USE you for but the kind which YOU have to do for your very person.
Sounds Like A “You” Problem.

Working in this field of change, one thing that has fascinated me is the number of colourful reasons that people are unable to reach their true potential.
It always starts with, If it wasn’t for .
Moving forward - what does that mean in coaching?
by Steve Paul
Coaching is often associated with the ‘talking therapies’, but while I agree it does involve talking (and listening) I firmly believe that the fundamental purpose of coaching is about moving forward.
Obstacle or Excuse?
by Spiros Giannatos
Yesterday, a client of mine kept on saying how difficult it is to find time for him amidst work, chores and kids. His goal is to run 2 times per week, so he becomes fitter.
But, every single time that I ask him how the run was, he replies that he couldn't go.
What is the Worst Thing that Could Happen?
by Spiros Giannatos
Usually, when we want to bring a change into our lives, we are afraid.
We are afraid that something bad will happen; that we will fail, that we will lose someone, that we will never be able to return to the place that we started.
Changing Our Perspective
by Spiros Giannatos
Just imagine this for a moment.
It's Monday morning, you walk out of your door with a fast pace and you reach your driveway, only to find a flat tire at your car. Obviously, you will feel frustrated about the event, maybe angry and perhaps stressed because you will be late for work.
Growing Our Mindset
by Spiros Giannatos
"I am stupid. I am worthless"
Do you know the feeling after you have called yourself stupid?
* Perhaps you are calling yourself names because you didn't get that job or promotion.
* Perhaps because you shouted (for the tenth time) to your kids when you actually know it was not their fault.
Gratitude Journal
by Spiros Giannatos
Have you ever kept a gratitude journal?
The idea behind such a journal is to contemplate on your past day and write down the things that you are grateful for.
Personally, every night before I go to bed, I write the 3 things during my day that made me smile.
Breathe...
by Obi Okolo
A Stress-free Breath of Life
From nowhere to nowhere, birth to death or rebirth, all that really matters is now here; ironically ‘now here’ being the two words that make up nowhere. With ‘now’ denoting time and ‘here’ denoting space, time being the reverse of space in a time-space continuum of present moments, it is a continuum in which the only time there really ever is - is NOW, and the only space there really ever is - is HERE; all relative to perception.

The recently published research findings by Nationwide Building Society that 'many primary school-age children say they have never visited traditional high street shops' has interesting implications for those of us in the coaching profession.
Mental fitness in sport
by Alex Croucher

by Kanika Tandon
