Learn The Language
Coaching brings with it dynamic thinking constructs together with its own unique language, buzz words and vocabulary.

Shifting Perspective
If you own a cat, and even if you don’t, I’ll bet you’re familiar with feline tactics for attention. Walking, prancing and rolling on a keyboard is a favored manoeuvre. This morning, my cat was doing just that when she accomplished an extraordinary shift; I’m not sure which keys she stood on, and in what sequence, but *viola!* the entire visual on my display screen turned 90 degrees. The whole screen. I didn’t even know my notebook had such a trick in it! I had to turn in on it’s side to view my screen. It’s taken me quite some time to figure how to right the image. The experience reminded me about a coaching dialogue technique — about how taking a 90-degree angle shift on something can shift our perspective.

Do you Labour with Love?
Some of you may know that I am a student of Astrology. I was introduced to it by a co-worker many years ago who kept insisting that I “dressed just like a Capricorn”. Intrigued to know more, I began a life-long study of this ancient art and science. When I work with coaching clients who are themselves receptive to astrology, I find the astro-language offers us a unique perspective for self-study. This post, based on the eloquent work of Astrologer and Creative Writer, Linda Goodman, offers us a look at the sun signs in the context of the work we do. What motivates each sign? What might be considered out Labor of Love? […]
