 Hi
Monday is usually my admin day when I update my records
One excel spreadsheet keeps a
record of the number of coaching hours I've done. Why? Well, to gain
accreditation with the International Coaching Federation one must maintain
records of clients, hours coached etc. I was totalling up this month and saw
that over the last 10 years I've coached 489 individuals over nearly 5,000
hours. That's a lot of
hours. Enough for me to apply for accreditation as a Master Coach: the highest
level possible.
I doubt that there would be many coaches who have had the enormous variety
of clients that I have coached; straight, gay, male, female and a couple of
transgender clients. Some were re-entering the work force after a time of
unemployment, some commencing new business ventures, others needing help with
major life transitions or turning their mid-life crisis into a quest. Some
wanting to be more successful in their careers whilst others wanted to change them.
Creating life balance is a big one. Professionals, executives, a couple of
celebrities and entrepreneurs; I've coached them all. That is quite a varied client list isn't it? Those who did the Dare to be Your Best program
left with a 1, 5 and 10 year plan for their lives which are completely congruent
with their personal values and beliefs. Not just clearly defined documented goals
but also strategies on how to achieve them along with the motivation to create
the compelling future they have imagined.

People use a coach for different reasons but the one thing they have in
common is that they all want change, self improvement.
, it made me stop and think "what
have I learnt about human beings and success over nearly 5, 000 hours".
I wrote down 15 things immediately and I will develop each of these in more
detail for you in the coming newsletters. I know these are true as I've seen them all
in action with my clients.
SUMMARY: Here is what I've
learnt about human beings and success in 5,000 hours
- Anything is possible - the biggest hindrance to that are the limitations we place on ourselves
- Nothing happens without action - small steps are better than doing nothing
- Plans and strategies make your action more
effective - fail to plan; plan to fail
- Success is simple - life wasn't meant to be complicated
- Commitment and persistence is what takes you
to the finishing line - quitters never win; winners never quit
- If you don' reward yourself you'll burnout - celebrate your successes
- Accountability is the missing link in the
personal development industry - ask anyone who uses a personal trainer
- Without a compelling future your life progress
is greatly reduced - a blank canvass will keep you stuck
- There is no such thing as bad self awareness - understanding your weaknesses is as important as knowing your
strengths
- Being present ensures your life
will be more enjoyable - turn off auto-pilot and begin living consciously
- Everyone needs to define success for
themselves - don't let others determine how your life turns out
- For every obstacle there will always be
several options to overcome it - creative thinking finds solutions
- It's essential to write down the goals and
dreams you have and review them regularly - a great key to success
- Sh*t happens.....deal with it anyway - facing challenges makes you stronger
- Every human being can do more, be more and
have more - no-one is living to their fullest potential.
More in next newsletter.
Have a great week

Recent Testimonial
Anthony was recommended to me in glowing terms by a
trusted friend and I too cannot speak highly enough of Anthony's great skills
and expertise as a truly wonderful coach. Over the course of the 12
week programme, I learned so much about myself and grew greatly in confidence,
understanding and focus. I consider that the insights I have gained will be
absolutely invaluable in guiding me to a bigger, better and happier life, where
I feel in control and genuinely enthusiastic about the future.
Every session with Anthony was thoroughly enjoyable
but at the same time stimulating and thought-provoking. He gave me new tools to
think with and to gradually change behaviours and grow. Anthony is very gifted
in being able to discern and interpret in concrete ways what you are struggling
to express, in giving you the sort of receptive audience that allows you to be
honest with yourself and in helping you to see past difficulties in a new and
more optimistic light.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Anthony as a coach
and am enormously grateful to him for helping me gain a far greater
understanding of and insight into my life.

Special Counsel
