March 31, 2010/3 Comments/in Coaching, Guest posts, Reflection/by Edward Gumnick

March 23, 2010/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

Getting it right the first time is definitely overrated. I’m pretty sure I’m right about this.

Prepare for Success

March 12, 2010/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection, Tools for Transformation/by Gika Rector

How would you prepare for success? What would need clearing and cleaning? How might you look at your life and your work differently if you were expecting success? How would your focus shift?

Cleaning Up Along the Way

March 3, 2010/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

Cleaning up along the way makes sense. Coaching is one way to clean up old ideas and stories and expectations, making room for fresh possibilities and leading to surprising transformation.

February 5, 2010/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

What are the ideas, thoughts, and expectations that block what you really want? What would you have to give up in order to play full out, to go for a totally fabulous life?

Pain and Grace

January 28, 2010/4 Comments/in Reflection/by Gika Rector

She was fun, totally fun. Life was an adventure, a joy, something to relish with friends and loved ones. Until it wasn’t. Until it all came crashing in and it was too much.

My Promise

December 20, 2009/8 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

What are the promises you’ve made? Look especially closely at your promises to yourself. Keep your word, and see if that doesn’t improve your life.

Overwhelm

September 21, 2009/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

Measuring Progress in Inches

September 14, 2009/2 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

I read an odd little horoscope today, which said that it’s a time for me to pay attention to details. Fair enough, but then came the suggestion that I should consider measuring progress in inches. Oh my! Measuring progress in inches!
