Motivation

 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

The drive, the power, the push, the incredible feeling of enthusiasm, the ability to fly out of bed and focus intently on your life’s purposes with laser like focus and clarity. Do you eat, breathe and live success? Do you see yourself as a go getter, an individual consumed with passion and ability? The essence of motivation is the desire to achieve specific outcomes combined with the self belief and determination to proceed. The problem is (at times) we all don’t feel that passion. Instead we feel slow, sluggish and cloudy. Walking around in a state of conscious sleep waiting for something to happen...

Motivation is the inner power or energy that leads towards actions and achievement. Motivation is strongly related to desire and ambition. If these are absent than motivation is absent too.

Often, a person has the desire and ambition to get something done or achieve a certain goal, but lacks the push, the initiative and the willingness to take action. This is due to lack of motivation. Motivation strengthens the ambition, increases initiative and gives direction, courage, energy and the persistence to follow one's goals. A motivated person takes action and does whatever it needs to achieve his/her goals.

Motivation becomes strong when you have a vision, a clear mental image of what you want to achieve, and also a strong desire to materialize it. In this situation motivation awakens and pushes you forward, toward taking action and making your vision a reality. Motivation must be applied to every action and goal. You need motivation to make more money, get a better job, buy a new house, own a business, or become a writer, a doctor or a lawyer. Motivation is present whenever there is a clear vision, precise knowledge of what one wants to do, a strong desire and faith in one's abilities.

Career Pathway and Business Planning

Those of us who are engaged in a satisfying challenging career that fit in with our goals and aspirations lead filling productive and happy lives. Those that are stuck in dead end jobs or feel they are not suited for the position can feel over whelmed with incredible amounts of stress, anxiety and misery. Choosing a career, maintaining a career, or changing a career can be fraught with both excitement and difficulty.

Changes in organisations and in our personal lives mean that the notion of career paths is now almost obsolete. Careers now days can be shorter and uncertain. The notion of full-time employment with an employer is only one of many options. Now days there are career options that involve virtual work, contractual arrangements, consultative and interim arrangements. Part-time, flexi-time and job sharing options can also play a part in career choices.

When writing a business or operating plan, it is imperative to decide what you are actually trying to achieve.
Vital factors should be taken into account, such as ethical philosophy and return on investment. The basic methodology of business planning is to identify causes and effects, according to your relevant business requirements (financials and ethics) and strategic drivers (what we are actually aiming to achieve). The same rules apply when plotting out career pathways.

 Regardless of the framework, career pathways or business planning... The foundational requirements remain the same.

1. What are we actually aiming to achieve?
2. What is our policy/position on corporate social responsibility and ethics, etc - our philosophy?
3. What return on investment (or alternative financial performance) does our activity/enterprise require - is this a strategic driver in itself, or simply the means by which we maintain our activities in support of our aims?

Peak Performance

Performing at ones best is a matter of focus, clarity and belief. In other words, working at peak levels of performance is a matter of psychology. The greatest asset us humans have sits right between our ears. As the owner and daily user of this asset, our most important job function should be to get the very best out of it.

Peak Performance is about living your life at a high level of energy, focus and clarity to experience success in every single area of your life. When you're operating at peak performance levels, you feel incredible and nothing can stand in the way of achieving your goals and dreams. You feel like you're on top of the world. 

What you think has a profound effect on what you do and how you do it. You can only achieve it when you believe it! If you don't think you can do it, you never will. Your life experiences determine the way you think. But your thoughts aren't set in stone. Just like you can learn to ride a bike or play chess, you can also learn to control your thinking and control your life.

A positive attitude often spells the difference between failure and success. If you have a positive attitude and are able to perform at your best, there is no limit to what you can accomplish. Your attitude, self-image, and self-esteem can take you further than you can ever imagine -- but can also keep you from ever achieving greatness. When you live life at Peak Performance, you can achieve anything. The sky is the limit.

Goal Setting

Setting attainable goals and developing actions plans for achievement. Goals should be closely connected with purpose, values and vision. A good coaching program will address these issues. Purpose, value and vision must be examined in depth as they constitute the core basis for an effective goal setting coaching program.

To achieve a goal or a vision you must plan how to make it happen. A goal without a plan remains just a goal - many people have visions, intentions, ideas and dreams which never happen, because they are not planned correctly.

Effective goal setting and planning can be extremely powerful when striving towards a purpose. In order to move from one place to another, there are three key causes that will allow for the desired effect.

1, A long-term purpose (Vision, dream, lifelong desire).

2, Short to medium-term goal setting activities (tasks, chunk down, stepping stones).

3, Planning both short to long-term (the how, the instructions).

It's time for your to achieve your goals. Many people have made their businesses extremely successful, found the careers of their dreams, made huge amounts of money and created incredible long-term relationships. The power of effective goal setting can be truly life changing. It just takes clear vision, effective planning, and sufficient amounts of action.

Leadership

Become a better leader; Earn the respect and support of others; Set standards of performance on all tasks;
Determine your mission - the importance of vision; Trust yourself in every decision you make; Strategy and tactics; Inspire others and gain followers; Communicate effectively with each person.

Many capabilities in life are a matter of acquiring skills and knowledge and then applying them in a reliable way. Leadership is quite different. Good leadership demands emotional strengths and behavioural characteristics which can draw deeply on a leader's mental and spiritual reserves. Explaining and understanding the nature of good leadership is probably easier than practising it. Good leadership requires deep human qualities, beyond conventional notions of authority.

The traditional concept of a leader being the directing chief at the top of a hierachy is nowadays a very incomplete appreciation of what true leadership must be. Effective leadership does not necessarily require great technical or intellectual capacity. These attributes might help, but they are not pivotal. Good leadership in the modern age more importantly requires attitudes and behaviours which characterise and relate to humanity. In the modern age good leaders are an enabling force, helping people and organizations to perform and develop, which implies that a sophisticated alignment be achieved - of people's needs, and the aims of the organization.

If you seek one singlemost important behaviour that will rapidly earn you respect and trust among your people, this is it: Always give your people the credit for your achievements and successes. Never take the credit yourself - even if it's all down to you, which would be unlikely anyway. You must however take the blame and accept responsibility for any failings or mistakes that your people make. Never never never publicly blame another person for a failing. Their failing is your responsibility - true leadership offers is no hiding place for a true leader.

Communication Skills

Communication is something that we practice daily. If you measured the time spent in communication with others during a single day, you would probably find that it took up the most of it. Interpersonal communication is more than just something that comes naturally, in-fact communication could be considered as a practical skill, an art form. A person’s effectiveness in their personal, social and professional lives can be largely related to their interpersonal communication ability.

Many people don’t realize how many opportunities they’ve missed because bosses or business partners don’t think they have the “social intelligence” to fit the part. In business and in professional situations, those who have high levels of social intelligence--or the ability to communicate effectively and skillfully with others will always get paid more.

Improving communication ability involves an understanding of certain theories and the mastering of practical skills. The more you know about interpersonal communication, the more insight and knowledge you will gain about what works. The more skills you have within your arsenal of communicative ability, the greater will be your choice for communicating effectively. These skills can dramatically improve your ability in achieving your interpersonal goals. Effective communication is key!

The great truth is that you can learn to become a powerful communicator. No one is born with the ability to communicate effectively. Communication is a learnable skill. By sharpening your communication skills, not only will speaking with others become easier-- but it will also be easier to get the outcomes and results you desire.

Time Management and Structure

Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel like you have too much to do with too little time to do it? Let's face it - you're not the only one. The pace of our world today is faster than it's ever been before. It's easy for you to procrastinate and fall behind. With constant interruptions and too much to do - how can you take control of your time and your life? THE ANSWER IS IN TIME MANAGEMENT COMBINED WITH STRUCRURE.

Time management combined with a good structure enables us to improve output by been more productive and fulfilled. Logically the effects across whole organisations of good or poor time management are enormous. The key to successful time management is in planning and then protecting the planned time, which often involves re-conditioning your environment, and particularly the re-conditioning the expectations of others.

Wouldn't it be extraordinary to learn how to manage your time? Wouldn't you like to have more time available to get more done? To make more money and have more time to spend doing the things you like, and being with the people that make you happy? Imagine having more energy, less stress and a greater sense of control.

An effective time management strategy combined with a good structure will not only allow you to get more done in shorter peroids of time... The combination of both will also enable activities and tasks to be worked on through to completetion. Studies have shown that the biggest underlying factor for stress and chronic fatigue is incomplete action. That means the more little things you leave undone, the more cluttered and stressful your life feels. Something amazing happens when you're productive and achieving your goals... you feel happier, relaxed and confident. Suddenly, you feel great about your life and your worries start to fade.

It has been said that "time management and structure is the glue that holds everything together."

General Health and Wellbeing

General health and wellbeing at it's simplest level is perhaps ultimately about personal happiness, feeling good and living safely and healthily. This means not allowing challenges to undermine our basic purposes and needs in our lives, and by extension those of our families and loved ones. Both the mental and physical parts of ourselves play a large role in determining the happiness. 

Life balance and personal happiness do not necessarily depend on earning more money and being successful at work or in business. Other things can have a much bigger impact on our health and wellbeing. Our age and 'life-stage' particularly affect what makes us happy and balanced, as does our personality, which stems from our genetic type, and our upbringing combined with life experiences.

life balance and happiness can be managed and attained, if we know the components - including our true self - and the causes of our own well-being. What makes us happy? What makes us sad? What are the goals in life that we strive for, that motivate us and give us stronger feelings of self worth and the ability to contribute.

Mental and physical health are closely intertwined. When feel happy, we look good. We are motivated to eat better exercise more and take care of ourselves. We seem to attract more opportunities, better people and experiences that truly enrich us.

Life Coaching can have a major effective on improving your quality of life by first helping to increase personal self-awareness and removing self imposed limitations. You will know yourself better, see your potential and recognise your incredible value.
