"Absolutely amazing, priceless! I would absolutely recommend this to others!!! Helene is not only accurate, but her compassion, sympathy and wisdom make it a truly amazing experience."
Why would knowing your purpose change the world?
Most people think that:
Knowing your purpose is something that is nice, but not essential.
Instead of navel gazing, we would be better off picking a vision and a goal and just do it!
Purpose talk often sounds like splitting hairs, especially when it talks about improving various aspects of our character (e.g. being more compassionate, or [...]
The purpose of our life according to the Dalai Lama
Some of us look long and hard for our life purpose, feeling something is missing in our work as well as our life overall.
I obviously believe in the power of finding our purpose since I do that kind of work in several ways.
In this video, you’ll hear the Dalai Lama’s belief about the purpose of [...]
Why would I care about my life purpose if I can’t pay my bills?
In my last post, I talked about why finding your life purpose matters not only for your happiness, but also for your ability to succeed. Shortly after I wrote it, I got a call from a client whose son’s life is in shambles. A day later, I was talking with a friend and fellow coach [...]
Knowing your life purpose; why does it matter?
Not everyone thinks that “finding your life purpose” is important. Instead, they think that it is:
Too self-absorbed and even self-indulgent
Not a high priority, especially in difficult times
A personal growth topic to be pursued at best in your spare time
And I can understand that point of view; I probably would have said something similar in [...]
Career choices made and regretted…
Wouldn’t it be great to back and relive some of your life with the wisdom you’ve accumulated? One of the things I’d definitely do differently, is get out of the career that didn’t suit me much earlier than I did. (Actually, I probably wouldn’t choose it in the first place.)
I still remember the very first [...]
What am I doing here?
How often do you ask yourself that question? If you’re like most people on the planet including me, not often enough.
Most of us get carried away with our schedules, our action plans, our to-do lists. You can even get carried away by your intentions if you haven’t re-visited them lately.
How can that be; isn’t setting [...]
The dance between long-term and short-term goals
Too Short
Have you ever had the experience of being really busy all day and at the end of it, wondering what the heck you accomplished?
Or of getting the job done by being really focused for days/weeks/months or even years, then taking a step back at the end of it all and realizing that you would [...]
Ever notice you get sad after finally reaching a hard-earned goal?
I first experienced this when I was involved with long projects in the corporate world. After they were finally completed, I found myself down and out for a few days.
It must be a reaction to the pre-deadline high intensity and long hours, I thought.
As a corporate trainer, the post-workshop crash was part of my regular [...]
Stop worrying whether they like your work
No, I’m not advocating being indifferent to the quality of your work. Let me explain what I mean by telling a story about a coaching client.
Lisa (not her real name) was finding it very stressful to give her workshops. To the point where she even doubted that she was cut out for that kind of [...]
Genuine Enthusiasm as Profound Marketing
I’ve just been subjected to an hour of ABBA tunes at full volume and some of their tunes are still living in my brain as ear worms. The perfect antidote I thought was to use the experience as inspiration for this post.
Actually, I’m one of those who like ABBA (you either do or you really [...]
