These are just suggestions that have worked for me or for the people I have coached. I don’t recommend them, only recommend you consider them.

Should a coach talk about himself or herself?

February 19th, 2010

In conversation with Jason (the Mr Bootle who creates all this web stuff for me) it came up again that it takes some effort to get me to talk about me.

Moving On

February 6th, 2010

As you make your way through life and encounter tough times, difficult choices, elders may often remind you that ‘things are sent to try us’.
