What is Resilience and
Why Does it Matter? |
 By Nimira Harjee
Certified Change Practitioner and Change Coach
Over
the last year in particular, we've all encountered significant change -
changes in the economy, changes at work, changes in our priorities. All
of us deal with change differently and in our own unique way.
Many of
us believe that the more change we go through, the better able we are
to deal with it. While that may be somewhat true, what really
differentiates how we succeed through change is how resilient we are.

Here's What
Inspires You!

Last month, Dave shared a story about Inspiration. We also asked our Fresh Ideas readers what Inspired them.
Here's one of many brilliant responses!
"Apart from real life examples I
usually use some quotes that help me to get inspired during harsh
times..."
"If you are going through hell - keep going"
W. Churchill
We'll share more responses in future issues of Fresh Ideas!

Greetings!
 For a number of years I have talked about running a marathon. Why? It was one of those things that I thought I should do...at least once. Earlier this year I made a commitment to be bold, so when a friend issued a challenge, I finally quit talking about it - and started training for the marathon.
I had no illusions of winning the marathon or  breaking any speed records! [here's a picture taken at mile 13 - that's me on the right] My goal was to finish - without major injuries.
Having said this, I quickly learned that even my modest goal (by some standards) would require a commitment to training leading up to the marathon that reminded me of the commitment it takes to run and lead a business.
After all, running a business is no 100 meter dash. Running and leading a business requires many of the attributes that it takes to run a marathon - dedication, perseverance and hard work. There are many parallels that you can draw between running a successful business and running, and training for, a marathon. Here are four parallels that jumped out at me.
Share and Grow,
Dave

Coaches: Accelerate Success in Your

Introducing Coaching Business Boot Camp
 with Marilyn Singh, BSc, Ma, CEC
Over the last few
years, while we were building our network of coaches and expanding our
business, Dave Veale and I heard over and over again from coaching colleages, "I need help
marketing my coaching business" and "it's a challenge to identify
business opportunities".
We love helping other coaches get
up & running so we've decided to formalize our process and offer a
short course, Coaching Business Boot Camp, to help coaches grow their coaching practice. Our pilot project launched this week.
