Do you have a crazy idea that might just work?
Maybe it's the credit crunch creating this make-do and mend mentality but I got to thinking of alternative money streams. Today I came up with the idea of writing a science fiction story where a set number of words were limited to each human being per lifetime. You couldn't waste them, as they were finite. You literally had to choose your words carefully. Some sold theirs to others more voiciferous.
The big heads and braggards were forced into stunned silence unable to encapsulate their message with clarity; self awareness thrust upon them to think before they spoke. The meek and intelligent ruled the earth able to make their point powerfully and with élan.
Stick with me there is a point to all this.

Take the Bore Out of the Boardroom or How To Speak Up And Influence Meetings
Sometimes it doesn't take a get-rich-quick scheme to teleport you into success. Many of my clients are doing just that by finally mastering the art of self expression, of believing in themselves and having the confidence to speak up when at work.
Timidity and self containment are not prized qualities in the commercial world (unlike in my sci-fi story) as the Big Noise gets all the attention and more likely, the promotion too. Quite often those with measured and considered views are looked over as the meeting monopoliser dominates.
One of my clients has been made a manager since coaching has helped overcome her fear of speaking up in meetings. Another has received recognition and has felt an increase in gravitas since he has come off the sidelines and became a main contributor to the office meet and is now considering going for a higher position. He now realizes his own potential within.
Another is increasingly impressing their bosses with their cool analytic comments which once they were terrified to share.
Could you be incubating unforeseen possibility? How long are you prepared to leave your most saleable assets on the storeroom shelf?
You could always book a 30 minute session (on me) to start to unlock your inner goldmine. caroleann@realcoachingco.com
By the way do think my science fiction story has best-seller potential?

Procrastination
Probably one of the most common issues people come to coaching with, procrastination is one of those things that afflicts us all to some degree at some point. Some people say it's "laziness" that stops them doing what they want to do; change jobs, change their bed linen, change partners etc. But I'm not buying that.
We're only lazy when we don't want to do something for some hidden reason.
If your best friend was to call and offered you free tickets to your favourite football team followed by front row tix to Bruce Springstein at 02 then entrée to the after show party you would see how easy it is to go from sofa to 60mph in nano seconds.
Or if you were given a shopping weekend in Paris on an open credit card with George Clooney on your arm? Are you telling me there wouldn't be scorch marks across the Axminster?
Laziness and procrastination are polite spins on avoidance and denial which always comes back to the F-word - fear.
Fear of responsibility, completing something, judgment, being accountable, taking control, owning up - in short - fear of being an adult.
If I'm talking your language as you sit there wondering whether to have another coffee, sandwich, look on Facebook or some other distraction technique to avoid doing something meaningful, then why not book a 30 minute trial session on me and let's see if we can go from stuck to stuck-in? caroleann@realcoachingco.com In the meantime have a giggle at this
