Get Your Message Out: How to Make Videos On Your Laptop With No Editing

Coaching Presence: 4 Steps to Increase Your Mental Fitness
Coaching is hard work.I see people physically worn out after a 15 minute coaching practice. I’ll show you how to get your mind in shape to pay attention and be present with those you coach.
What makes coaching so physically taxing?
These days it’s rare to concentrate on one project for more than a quarter of an hour. I read a study a while back that showed that on average a person works on the same topic for only 10 minutes, and during that time approaches the topic by doing...

Victory!
But I still slept on the sofa that night. This is when I learned the difference between “being right” and “how I am right.”
“Being ri...
