Nothing But Progress

EGO

I saw this post and thought it useful to discuss.

Ego gets a bad rep in some circles. It is indeed the part of us that lives on power, self image and how we feel we are perceived.

In a modern world it becomes very difficult to detach ourselves from this, moreover it becomes dangerous. We don't live in a world full of sweetness and light, other people will seize the opportunity to undermine us if we are too open and honest.

Chose your circle wisely. Be prepared to allow your ego to lead the way sometimes. It can help you navigate your way through life. Sometimes it's OK to be aware of image and to allow our actions be motivated by success.

Where it gets dangerous is when we place our absolute attachment to the outcome. Feeling as we have failed in life if we falter in any task. In life we must remain ego conscious, but never let our true essence be subdued by the fear of appearing weak or defined by one action of success or failure.

Your ego isn't you, but it is a reflection of your thoughts and values.

Think of your ego as your dog on a lead - there to protect you, keep you company and care for you. Train it to be calm, loving and strong - not agressive, paranoid and angry.

Don't let your untrained, wild ego pull you about. Be in control, be wise and be happy.

FREE COACHING SESSIONS

Sorry for the radio silence, but I'm back.

This year has tested my own learning and spirit to its limits for numerous reasons, but mainly for the injury and limitations it placed on me to deliver time, energy and support to those outside my inner circle.

It's been a busy year outside of the coaching.

But it's got me thinking, the whole purpose of the page and ethos is to help people progress. So I'm going to be offering free help and support by means of messages, one to one coaching and anything else you want.

Now that I'm back, physically fit, I'd like to make up for lost time, so get in touch and ask away...

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Personality and DiSC profiles

I've recently added DiSC accreditation to my portfolio to allow you to indulge in further self development with me.

DiSC profiles are internationally recognised and used in many top level organisations.

https://www.discprofile.com/what-is-disc/overview/

DiSC profiles allow you to see which behaviours you exhibit and how they impact on your life. Better still if you understand how other people act, react and respond you can become more successful at work and in life.

Although we are all an amalgamation of all four styles, we each have a preference and will often revert to type when under pressure...

D - Are you dominant and driving
I - Are you influential and enthusiastic
S - Are you steady and calming
C - Are you conscientious and detail oriented

Take an easy and simple online quiz to generate a report, allowing you to interpret the data and then apply it to help you succeed in life.
