@MissKForbes I’ve been negotiating with my dogs all week,“Look girls, I know I’m rehearsing every night, but I finish half day on Friday and then we can all chill.” Have a marvellous Christmas x
I LOVE this coaching book. It's practical, eclectic, infinitely practical, absolutely fascinating, close to home and I especially love the reflectiveness and humility of the authors, Kim Morgan and @geoffcwatts.
Can't remember who recommended it, but THANK YOU.
You can’t “build” culture, you have to “be” the culture.
Want a more competitive culture? Be more competitive.
Want a more disciplined culture? Be more disciplined.
Want a more encouraging culture? Be more encouraging.
Be what you want to see.
If you've completed a dissertation or thesis on instructional coaching, or you know someone who has, I'd be very grateful if you'd send me their dissertation. I'm trying to round up all the great research on coaching.
🎶 Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn
To learn what to be
Careful before you say "Listen to me"

5 Stoic lessons from Seneca:
1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2. Associate only with people who improve you
3. The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4. Value your time more than your possessions
5. Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day
