4 tips for consistency

How wonderful does it feel when you achieve the results you want time after time; a consistency in your performance, whether it’s at work or in your home life, the feeling of satisfaction remains just as strong. Knowing full well that every time time you complete a task, finish a project, produce an output the end result is of a similar standard to your previous outcome and the one prior to that and prior to that etc. How good does it really feel to sit or stand ever so proud with that smug feeling of satisfaction. Wait a minute this is the real world we live in; the picture I’ve just painted surely is only one that exists in our dreams.

Being in control of your own life

At times we find ourselves being advised to become more proactive, however, nobody ever tells us how to do it. Each day we have the choice to take charge and take our path, or let others in life control us. When we are proactive and become fully aware and take responsibility for our choices, we can really start to learn. So how can we do this?

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strength and weaknesses are something, at sometime in our lives that we have to deal in terms of ‘selling’ either ourselves or our company. It’s certainly not a task that some people enjoy, given that it means highlighting some of our more favourable features. We may well very easily identify our weaknesses, given our affinity to discredit ourselves in the presence of others. Why is we love to ‘pull ourselves down’ as opposed to ‘raising ourselves up’ to the heights we deserve.

Honesty

Honesty is something that encroaches our lives every single day in one way or another. Whether it’s your honesty being tested by others or you having doubts about another person’s honesty. Is there a difference between your honesty and that of others? Are there levels of honesty or more to the point are there acceptable levels of honesty?

Just do it anyway

Life is never easy but there again who ever said it would be; there just seems to be an illusion that at some stage if we do things in a certain way life will become ‘good’ or easy. It’s just not going to happen, that is of course unless you decide it’s going to come good or get ‘better’; what ever good or better means.

Self Esteem

Whilst the definition of self esteem varies a great deal from source to source, the general consensus is that it is a self estimation of your own worth; how you see yourself and fit into the bigger picture. Self esteem is a very powerful thing and can be the root cause of your success or failure;

Integrity

Integrity is something, I’m always interested in talking about, writing about or discussing. So it came as no surprise to me when I felt the urge to write a blog about the subject. I’ve heard a number of people speak on the subject; more recently I’ve been asked questions about it from blog readers, what my thoughts were on integrity.

Building strong coaching relationships

As a life coach one of the important things you have to consider is the impression you make on your clients; this ultimately brings you repeat business with either them or their friends and acquaintances.

Do you know who you are?

Just how honest a person are you? Acceptance of who you are can be difficult if you lack complete honesty with yourself. The effect of this can be compounded if you are trying to satisfy other people with your behaviour or the friends you keep.

How much pressure are you putting on yourself by behaving, on the outside, in a manner that creates conflict with the person inside.
