New Year's Resolutions

Thinking about thinking about your New Year's resolutions? It's always in the back of our minds as we wend our way through the holiday merriment and another year comes to a close. If you're thinking, '@^&#*, the same thing will be No. 1 as was No. 1 last year!' why not try something different?rriment. Another year coming to an end.

New Year ' new start, but did you know that most people have already failed with their list by January 15th. If you don't want this to happen to you (again), consider getting the 'thing' that can make those resolutions works: a coach. It can be the prime ingredient for your success.

Coaching developed to meet a need that wasn't being met. We've all wished at one time or another we had a coach, like the pro athletes do; someone to help us be all we could be. Someone to shine some light on those corners, and remove the obstacles we seem to keep throwing in our paths without knowing why.

Coaches can help you get mindful!

Coaching is not for getting 'fixed.' It isn't to be confused with therapy. Some people enjoy the benefits of both therapy and coaching, which demonstrates the two are not the same thing. Coaching supplies something therapy cannot, and vice versa. In coaching, we focus on strengths, positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and forward movement. It's rapid and effective.

'Oh,' you may be thinking, 'So it's like having a friend.' No! Coaching is work and takes a trained professional. Done properly it takes more time, energy, focus and expertise than even the most well-meaning friend is likely to have. Friends ·Have their own agenda and issues ·Aren't objective ·Aren't trained or experienced ·Have a unidimensional relationship with you ' you know before you go what they're going to tell you to do. There are no surprises. ·Will give you answers

A coach, on the other hand is: ·Trained and experienced ·Objective ·Focused on you, not themselves ·Will come up with some real surprises for you if they're any good at what they do! After all, if what you've been doing were working, you wouldn't be where you are right now, right? ·Will give you questions

The New Year is a perfect time to start coaching. A coach can help you make a realistic list of resolutions and then coach you to complete each item on your list. Wouldn't you like to be feeling different at this time next year. Perhaps you caould even say, 'For the first time in my life XXX is not on my list of resolutions!'

How to find your coach? Look on a search engine, of go to one of these referral sites: Premier Coach Referral Service, http://www.webstrategies.cc/coachreferralservice.htm , Coach Federation, http://www.coachfederation.org , or CoachVille.com , http://www.coachville.com . Then call a couple of coaches for sample sessions. You have nothing to lose but that No. 1 thing on your list of resolutions.


HAPPY HUNTING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

#1 New Year's Resolution

I BET I KNOW WHAT YOUR TOP 2 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS ARE

"Resolution". It's another word for Intentionality, an emotional intelligence component.

Some facts about New Year's Resolutions:

• For most people, the #1 resolution is losing weight, getting fit, getting back in shape, exercising more, eating right ... some form of wellness.
• Next is something you want to "give up", some bad habit. Quit smoking. Quit self-sabotaging. Stop yelling at my kids. Stop fighting with my partner.
• 90% of people will have broken their resolution by the end of January.
• Most people admit to having the same top 3 every year.
• We want to make it a better year for ourselves, but we are making the list at the down time of year.

Coaching can help you make a keep your New Year's resolutions.

The month coming up is a hard one for most people, cultiminating in "the most depressing day of the year," January 20th (so proclaimed by a scientist using a formula). This is because of the weather, SAD (seasonal affective disorder, all the emotions triggered around Christmas , the after-Christmas letdown, the weather, bills, not getting what you wanted for Christmas, the weather (gray skies!), fights over Christmas time with relatives ... and so forth.

Want to see the same thing on your list next year, like it was last year, and the year before? Of course you dont, so why not try coaching.

Why do we make these "resolutions" at what is usually the low-point of the year? Well, any time is good to make a resolution to make your life work better, as long as you give yourself a real chance at making the goal. Coaching can help. I help people make their resolutions all year long.

Make it your resolution to find out about your resolutions, and give yourself a chance at keeping them this year.

EQ works!

Competitive Intelligence

COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE ... that's what Emotional Intelligence is.

It's not good enough these days to be top in your field as far as skills, expertise and credentials. There are too many people just like you with the same resume. Also you don't get to sit in your office these days and do work. You have to make your way through a maze of people, jump across the generation gap, deal with people from many different cultures, get the gender bias unbiased, get information from many different people, and work as a team.

Teams involve emotions because they involve egos. Also because you have to engage, influence and motivate a host of people to get one simple thing done. Right?

Let's face it, it's much easier to produce work alone, it's just that it won't work any more. You are expected to know how to "get along."

What on earth does that mean? It means competitive intelligence, or emotional intelligence. This isn't touchy-feely stuff, it's about your paycheck, your promotions and your career future.

Career coaching is tax deductible. Check with your personal accountant or tax advisor.

Sign up for coaching. Pay before the 31st and start after the first of the year. Just in time for New Years' resolutions!
