A warm welcome to all the new readers this week. And a thank-you to all of you who have introduced new members to the list. There were some technical problems last week, I trust that everyone got the newsletter and I got all the feedback: if I have not responded, please resend.

In a coaching session one of the most sensitive moments is going through the options of the coachee (the person being coached). We pull out "ALL" the actions that the coachee could take to reach the goal.

Sometimes we play to find new ideas - "What would your best friend tell you to do?", or "What would you tell a student you are counselling to do?", and all kinds of other techniques to trick the mind to look in new pleaces for the treasures.

The treasures are those ideas which come up from the unconscious. And before they bubble up, we have to dig a bit to go through all the ideas we have been mulling over day after day, and, maybe, also to move a few stones (limiting beliefs).

It is a sensitive moment of the coaching session because the coachee may hit frustration, and may not believe he/she is able to find more options. When you go beyond this moment you get out of the proverbial box.

Final thoughts:

How much of your success (personal and business) is a result of good, original, innovative ideas?

What are the areas of your life / business where you need some new ideas to get you closer to your goals?

Nigel works with people in business who want to do more with less – to make a greater contribution with less effort – to be more themselves with less holding them back.
