thought of the month

CHANGE OR DIE?

What if you were given that choice? For real. What if it weren't just the hyperbolic rhetoric that conflates corporate performance with life or death? Not the overblown exhortations of a rabid boss, or a maniacal coach, or a slick motivational speaker, or a self-dramatising chief executive officer or political leader. We're talking actual life and death now. Your own life and death. What if a well-informed, trusted authority figure said you had to make difficult and enduring changes in the way you think, feel, and act? If you didn't, your time would end soon--a lot sooner than it had to.

Could you change when change really mattered?
When it mattered most?
Yes, you say?
Try again.
Yes?

You're probably deluding yourself. That's what the experts say. They say that you wouldn't change. Don't believe it? You want odds? Here are the odds that the experts are laying down, their scientifically studied - odds: nine to one. That's nine to one against you. How do you like those odds?

Coaching is a proven technique used by professionals in business and sport and can help to improve the quality and performance of any person wanting to make a change. Wellness coaches have an ability to identify strengths, values, and desires. They aren’t afraid to take risks and ask courageous questions. They don’t rescue from emotional muck – sometimes it’s necessary to sit in it for a bit to energise the desire to change. They know that life is at stake if care is not taken.
