Fall Changes?
by Patrick Williams, Ed.D., MCC

It's hard for us to think about Fall with many areas of the country still so warm. However, school is starting and although my children are grown, I still think of this time of year as the beginning of something new. Perhaps I think this way because for so many years, I was involved (and am still involved) in "starting" back to school.

Whether it is learning a new craft, or skill, starting a new business, exercising differently, or something else entirely, Fall is a good time to begin a change. Children at this time of year think about meeting new friends, going to a different school, or simply greeting friends from the previous year. They many not think about all the "things" they will learn, but that's what school is all about. I think, as adults, we do the same thing.

Perhaps it's simply a reevaluation of goals we've had, whether or not we have met them, or perhaps that we need to modify them. It could be something as simple as changing how we are exercising, what we are reading or deciding that we want to do something different with our lives. Whatever "it" is, we all need to evaluate the different areas of our lives and decide if it is time for a change.

Sometimes we need help in this process and may turn to a mentor or a coach. And, we may change direction and start a new career. Whatever we decide, there are opportunities, I believe, in almost any direction we turn.

At the Institute for Life Coach Training, we not only train people to become masterful coaches, we also offer the option of selecting coaches who have become very skilled.

If there is anything we can do to help you make a decision to change something in your life, either by becoming a coach or being coached, please let us know.

In the meantime, enjoy your Fall!!!

Is coaching a recession proof career?

If you are thinking of adding coaching to your business or even transitioning full time into coaching as your career, consider this -- there are many people who can afford coaching and see it as a valuable relationship in tough economic times. Coaching assists with life style redesign, career change, or planning retirement (protirement). If there was ever a time when you should take control of your future, that time is now. MORE.

In speaking to the Bershire Hathaway Group in May, 2008, Warren Buffet was asked, "In times like these what is the best investment one can an make?"  His answer: "The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Very few people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into the actual horsepower of their output in life. Potential exceeds realisation for many people."
