This summer was no exception.I was referred to a book called, "The Girls from Ames". It inspired me, to say the least.I was at first jealous when I read about the relationship between all these women, from girlhood to adulthood. The connections are strong and have been forged through all the years of joys, Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-68133993929561846322008-08-14T11:20:00.000-07:002008-08-14T11:22:01.613-07:00NO SUCH THING AS IRRESPONSIBILITYI was coaching a client of mine when I came up against this comment. It was in connection to “fun” or “having fun” and “irresponsibility”. I’m not sure why it is, but as adults, we tend to link those two words together. As we grow up we believe that to have “fun” means being “irresponsible”. I think the adult population of the world is in dire need of a break Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-70719245311616852962007-09-19T07:47:00.000-07:002007-09-19T07:48:28.343-07:00Mind Boggling CoachingSo, as my son was wont to say: "What keeps you from falling back on the old hard-wiring?" It's not difficult to fall back. The wiring is still there. That is why anchoring, regular feedback and support and delayed feedback are so important. This is usually where coaching fits in nicely.The good news is pretty amazing. Remember in the first issue I stated that the neurons we Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-51105210615685028662007-09-19T07:44:00.000-07:002007-09-19T07:46:14.986-07:00Mind Boggling Discoveries - Issue 4So how does this all connect? LOLWell this angst is what drives us to create new maps. It's what causes us to seek to better ourselve and perhaps start looking for someone like myself: a Professional Coach.So what needs to be done? Well the first step is to become mindfully aware (this is where the meditation info fits in) of what it is we are experiencing.

These little things are what holds all the networks and hard-wiring together. All our minds are networked with our perceptions? Makes sense, you say. Aha!Ever heard of the saying "What we expect we experience"? This has never been truer than in the world of HW the brain.This whole process of the way we perceive things and Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-21172594659518981382007-09-19T07:40:00.000-07:002007-09-19T07:42:49.483-07:00Mind Boggling Discoveries - Issue 2So is this true?Not really, because it then becomes important to realize what the brain does after that. It also can be quite interesting to understand how you actually physically can "change your mind".Your brain becomes agile in another way. So here are some facts you'll to know.Our mind adores order.

There are general locations like downtown (emotions), communities (senses) and urban areas (behaviour and body functions). They move if there is damage - say if you're in a war and someone bombs downtown.

If you are then you are experiencing a workplace gapYou know where you are at this point in your life but there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be? Sometimes the presence of this gap is so strong you can almost feel like a physical gap.

Here I am on my band wagon again. I had a client ask me if I thought they were procrastinating. Why is it we have to have labels of who we are and what we do? What is my answer to the client? Well I said,” No”. I mean, there is something stopping them from doing what they want to finish off. Most likely, when I run out of steam, I’veMaureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-1161281843910069462006-10-19T11:17:00.000-07:002006-10-20T06:24:29.326-07:00To Goal or not to Goal. That is the Question!I got into a discussion about the importance (or non-importance) of goal-making. It was inspired by an article I read at http://www.goalfree.com/?page_id=241 . Not inspired in the way you might think but inspired to have a provocative conversation about it. I asked my partner what he thought about goals first. I was curious to hear what someone else Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359508290593106696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34018840.post-1158332883177391912006-09-15T08:01:00.000-07:002006-10-19T11:13:47.366-07:00No Such Thing as Life BalanceYes, you read it right. I don’t believe there is such a thing as Life Balance. I think someone in the Personal Growth Industry made the term to label what people were feeling. They felt better about having a label.What I think is that there is no such thing. Life is not about balance BUT life has everything to do with relationships.
