Tomorrow's
Life Coach In This Issue:
Tomorrow's Life Coach (TLC) is a monthly online journal from the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT) that nourishes the intellect, intuition and inspiration of the personal and business coaching community. Pat's Ponderings Perseverance, passion, and positive attitude. . .the three P's that lead to success. This month I write about two phenomena in American television that has an international reach. . . American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Now don't quit reading yet! If you don't watch these shows, I understand; but my wife and I love watching talented young singers on American Idol. After you get to the top ten, these young people are good role models for the three P's — and have an added ingredient of personality. It's a good feeling seeing their stories; noting their improvement as they learn to believe in themselves and in the grand possibilities that will come from showcasing their talents. I am quite impressed by this show (with some objections to grandstanding judges and weird talent in the early days) because they sing well, present themselves graciously, and are humble, bright kids with good attitudes. Nothing wrong with those ingredients!!! The other hit show, Dancing with the Stars, was really goofy its first season a few years ago, but now the talent and the dancing is spectacular. The professional dancers are all beautiful specimens of grace and elegance. They coach their celebrities in ballroom dancing over a number of weeks, and some of the star athletes and performers surprise us and themselves with a maturation in dancing and an increase in confidence as they learn something foreign to them. It takes hours and hours of practice, a positive attitude, and an ability to work with a partner as a team. Watching two world class athletes like Emmitt Smith (American football star), and Apolo Anton Ohno (Olympic gold medallist– speed skating) rise to become masterful dancers was an inspiring example of the three P's. Now, many of you reading this may think I am a bit over the edge this month. American Idol and Dancing with the Stars . . . are you kidding me??? But those of you who are honest enough to admit that you are among the millions who have watched, don't you agree that there are lessons for all of us in perseverance, passion, and positive attitude? We all can apply those lessons to our desired goals and dreams. Stretch yourself into unfamiliar territory . . . practice, get a partner or a coach, take a class, and go for it. Whatever it is, live your passion! Pat Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC
