    Synopsis

    Feelings do play a part in the coaching relationship and may involve fears of failure, frustrations, avoidance behaviour, and loss of confidence. These feelings can be dealt with in the course of the coaching, in terms of what motivates the client’s behaviour and helps or hinders goal achievement. The client’s experience of overcoming impediments to success in the past, and achieving a series of successes, may in itself produce some benefits in terms of heightened self-esteem and a reduction in stress, anxiety, and worry. Certainly these may be viewed as therapeutic benefits even though the intent was not to provide therapy.

    Power Tool: Reason Vs Passion (Or Ration v Passion)

    By: Tim Beckett

    Executive Coach, UNITED KINGDOM 

    “Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes”.

    Inner Strength Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

    Introduction

    At the mention of the word intuition, ideas come to mind such as “gut-feeling”, knowing something without understanding why, acting on instinct, realizing when something is wrong because it “just doesn’t feel right”, and so on.  The last decade or so has seen intuition creeping more and more into the language of business and managerial decision-making models, challenging the traditional rational-analytical approaches.

    Self-Care Coach, UNITED STATES

    People often say “I can’t” when what they really mean is “I won’t”.  Sometimes a person will say that he or she “can’t” do something because it then absolves him or her of the responsibility for making a choice about whether to do it.  For example, the person who says “I can’t tell my friend that I know her significant other is involved in another relationship” is most probably technically capable of doing so, but may not want the responsibility of being the bearer of such news or of experiencing the repercussions that accompany it.
