What's in a name? When it comes to life coaching, everything ... and nothing really. On the face of it, the term "life coaching" would seem to say it all but think about it more deeply and you'll appreciate that one's interpretation of what it means is wide open to misunderstanding. And that, in turn, has resulted in a proliferation of superficial …

We live in an unpredictable and uncertain world. As we witness the magnitude of the events unfolding around us it is all too easy to take on feelings of powerlessness. Such feelings can cause us to start doubting our own significance, or relevance in the world. And yet, we each have an important role in the growth and evolution of the planet and th…

Most of us live in problem-reaction mode, just doing our best to cope with the various problems and challenges that our unpredictable world throws at us.

We live in a world in which effective communication is becoming increasingly challenging but increasingly necessary. Perhaps surprisingly, the concept of communication is a highly complex one.

The world is changing. Slogging away at a job for 40+ years to try to assure a comfortable retirement, is the stuff of the past.

"How meaningful and fulfilled will I feel?" is the key question …

Misperceptions about what life coaching is and what life coaches do, abound. Frankly, our industry as a collective must take a lot of the blame for poor communication.

Investing in life coach training is a smart move ... even if you decide not to become a life coach! That may sound strange.

And if you use th…

In this podcast episode, Bill argues that life coaching can be considered as a form of preventative psychology, much needed in today's demanding world where mental health issues are increasing rapidly in number and severity.

The journey of life throws up many apparent roadblocks that can leave us frustrated, disillusioned, hurt and even feeling like we have failed. But there's another more positive way to look at these 'roadblocks'. That is simply as 'detours' that provide learning opportunities and offer tantalising new possibilities for growth and development. As Bil…

We have the power to choose what to believe and not to believe. So, it may seem counterintuitive that we would choose to believe things that inhibit our ability to enjoy the life we truly deserve. And yet, most of us harbour limiting beliefs that serve to hold us back. In this episode, Bill explains, using a hypothetical example, how limiting belie…

The value of self reflection, as part of the learning process, should never be underestimated. Whereas the learning in itself is important, reflecting on that learning adds substantively to the overall experience as it offers the chance to understand what works and what doesn't work. This adds a new dimension to the learning and promotes one's futu…

Most of us spend our lives in reactive mode, simply trying to weather the turbulence and constant change, to survive and cope as best we can. And yet, each and every one of us is perfectly capable of leaving a significantly positive mark on the world, perhaps not immediately, but over time. Doing so is easier than we probably think. But it does req…

In our world, routine is common and an accepted part of what makes society work. But for individuals, busy routines kill off introspection and creativity and falsely make us believe that who we are comes down to how we are seen through the eyes of others. In this podcast episode, Bill explains that we need to step away from routine in order to star…

In this second part of the podcast, Bill visits the Change Cycle and the different stages that we go through when trying to bring about much needed change. Regression, or relapse, is an inherent stage in the cycle that most of us have to contend with. But with the right understanding of why it occurs and a few tips, we can overcome this temporary s…

For most humans, substantive change is both scary and difficult to bring about. This is because we battle against inbuilt programming that causes us to avoid anything we perceive as potentially painful. However, the ability to change and adapt, in an increasingly turbulent world, is vital if we are to survive and prosper. In this podcast, Bill shar…

The term 'life coaching' may have a great ring to it. But it doesn't actually say a great deal about what life coaching really is, or what life coaches do.

Most of us take day to day communication for granted. After all, it is something we do all the time. And yet, those who have mastered the art of effective communication are likely to lead far happier and more fulfilling lives. So it is well worth investing time to understand how to be a more effective communicator. In this podcast, Bill presents fi…

Life coaching is about transforming lives for the better. Maximising the reach and impact of life coaching is therefore clearly in the interests of our world as a whole. Despite that, Bill argues that efforts to do so are hampered by issues that fall loosely into two 'buckets'. In this, Part 2, in the series, he deals with the second of the two 'bu…

Appreciating why the power of perspective is so amazing comes from an understanding that the reality we see or experience is simply our chosen perspective of that reality. In order to render a situation, event or experience that we found painful or negative in a more empowering light, we simply need to change the perspective from which we view it.…

In our materialistic society, net worth is often seen as the primary measure of individual success. The problem is that it is a self centric concept that has little to do with promoting the greater good. In this episode, Bill argues that by replacing 'net worth' with 'net value', as a collectively agreed measure of success, our world would be a far…

Happenings in the world right now are leaving many feeling frustrated, anxious and even downright depressed.

To really get the most out of life one needs to keep a thoroughly open mind as life is often not what it seems. We owe it to ourselves to constantly interrogate what we are told is truth, whether that be about us personally, or about the world around us. A life of real meaning and purpose results, not from allowing oneself to be 'blown with the win…

It may surprise some to know that a great many people have difficulty describing, with any clarity, what it is they truly want from life. This is becoming more common in a world in which we are pulled in two directions by the demands of the external world and the desires of our hearts. In this podcast, Bill explores this phenomenon in more detail, …

"Agents for change". This sums up exactly what life coaches are and what life coaching is all about.

Right now our world needs more kindness all round! Kindness is inherent in all of us but our propensity to dispense kindness diminishes with our levels of contentment.

Levels of fear and uncertainty are growing in our world and may well be indicative of a control agenda, similar to the many we have experienced in the past history of our civilisation.
