Thank you!

I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…

Thank you Florence for your comment!I think people these days are caught up in the hard sell. Instead of empowering people to do it themselves! I love your example you gave about your client – I’ve been through a similar experience before! Ugggh.. we all have! Thanks again.

Like life and business coaching it is good to know what is the right investment where. Tough when ya want to do a great deal and there are limited resources.

This is an amazing life lesson to explore. Taking time to discern where, when and how to make investments of time, effort and most importantly passion.

So many lives are in shambles these days and this simple insight could help so many. I spend a great deal of time week to week with my coaching clients sorting out these issues. There is much to weigh as the resources become more and more dear.

Allowing each resource to be used to it’s fullest potential requires a willingness to spend intellectual, emotional and spiritual capital. Looking beyond the surface as to what drives decisions, is a treasure trove of wisdom and insight.

It is the diving into the emotions that will yield the greatest results as we endeavor to allocate the right resources to the right projects.

This is my favorite kind of work. Just recently a client was deciding to take on a new project from a potential client or not. As we weighted the options of the ROI of the project from many views, she realized the effort it would take, would not bring the return she needed to make it worth while.

She realized through the exploration that if she took on the work, a project she was passionate about would suffer. The project we were looking at did not allow her to use her greatest skill and hence would be far less satisfying work overall.

It was a huge insight to her to realize she had the option to say no to work that empassion her. It was a huge turning point to her as we shifted to looking at accomplishing the current project, and the emotion it ignited as we sketched out the plan for completion.

She moved to setting the plan to action and completed her goal on time, with a huge amount of fun and satisfaction, at seeing what her priorities are.

WOO HOO, Love when the insights are so rich and inspiring.

Thank you Gosia, your comment touches me deeply.
