Learning and Development (Part 2)
March 31, 2008Learning and Development continued to be the theme of March… no surprise as it’s a massive part of my life, and the second half of the month it got really personal. There’s nothing like a challenging situation to generate self awareness, to see where you’re at and what you’re made of. “Adversity introduces a man to himself” (Unknown)
I’ve been reading Think & Grow Rich – finding some absolute gems there. Lyndon’s just downloaded the audio book version, so I’m looking forward to hearing the book as I walk. I’m also reading Secret’s of Internet Entrepreneurs Exposed which has the brain firing with lots of new ideas & inspiration… watch this space!
March concluded with a hen’s party, catch ups with friends and Ethan’s school Fete. He was so proud of his Dad, his Grandad, (my Dad) and my brother “Uncle Greg” parachute into the school. I accompanied him on “The Octopus” and managed to retain my lunch… although Ethan was concerned he’d lose his. On to the Dodgem cars for a more relaxed afternoon.
Another something worthy of mention was that I was asked to assist Ruth Donde, Results Coaching System’s NZ Regional Manager, on Build Your Practice, an 8 week business building course for Coaches. This is a fabulous course, integral to my development as a Coach, who initially hadn’t a clue about business, just a passion for coaching and making a difference in people’s lives. This is the third time I’ve assisted on this course, so the fourth time I’ve been through it. I love working with new coaches to find their feet in the business world, grow confident in marketing their practice and continue in their own learning and development.
There’s another great one I have heard, “The greatest test of character is what it takes to stop you…” – heard it a Herbalife event from a guy named Brett Yateman:)
