The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk

One of my favourite things is finding books that really resonate with the kind of coaching I do. BUT even better, is when I figure out that some pop psych book is simply not worth reading. This is one of them. Cognitive Behavioural Theory is a key element to becoming better. I do not believe…
Momentum For The Win

Every roadblock, side quest and idiot that gets in my way, is simply obeying the rules of life. No matter how smooth everything seems to be, something has decided to cause me to get off track. It is also why being a control freak can’t help either. Those bumps and blockages are well known to…
It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden (2003)

Know Your Truth –> PROOF

The ONE Challenge that you must do every single day is to tell yourself the truth. There is a fallacy that you need the best of everything to become the best. Often, when clients use their current conditions as an excuse why their performance suffers, I let them know the real truth. You can do…
Staying True

The more challenges we face, the more aware we become about how much our values protect us. In times of challenge, you can choose to run and hide from reality. But if you choose to stay then you must also choose to be vulnerable to what happens next. Asking real questions is the only way…
