January 30th, 2012 by Ann Griffiths - MA in Coaching & Mentoring Practice

How to Stay Positive and Motivated in Difficult Times
January 25th, 2012 by Madeleine Morgan
One challenge clients often ask me about is how to stay motivated – for instance, when their business or career is hectically busy and they feel like a hamster in a wheel with no time to enjoy the journey…or when they’ve experienced a personal set back…. or when it’s just a really grey, cloudy and wintery day, again. One thing I’ve found helpful is to have a really strong sense of purpose which is more important than being upset or daunted and inspires...
Your Rules!
January 22nd, 2012 by Dawn Moss
Is it time to review your Rules structure? How and what is it that has two people talk to the same person or witness the same event, and have different feelings, perceptions and beliefs about the person or event?

Thinking differently - go beyond the problem
January 19th, 2012 by Richard Searson MPNLP
We all have times when we face issues or problems and become stuck.

Remember the brain will take the path of least resistance, however the skill is ensuring the correct decision for you. As a coach it is my role to support clients in this way and to look beyond the problem to a place that is "not problem." This may seem a...

January 12th, 2012 by Gary Hales - MBA
Are your beliefs holding you back? If you want to have the life you dream of and achieve your goals then you must identify and remove your biggest obstacle – your limiting beliefs.

Firstly you need to know that a belief can be described as a strongly held opinion that you may have about yourself or the world around you. Your beliefs create a recurring thought pattern that will continually...
Are you happy and successful at work?
January 12th, 2012 by Gary Hales - MBA
Are you happy and successful at work? We spend so much of our lives at work but how many of us are doing a job that we are happy in and being successful at?

If you’re not then...
