As a human being, you’re not really designed to keep going when you’re uncomfortable. Because of The Fear Factor. When this kicks in it’s far easier to stop doing the awkward or uncomfortable or scary thing, and give in instead. Let me give you an example. Very sadly, my...
I certainly don’t begrudge anyone who proclaims that they are a ‘Life Coach’. And I do understand that there are as many permutations and combinations of coaches as there are flavours of those fancy American Jelly Beans, so if they could all just be boiled down to one garden...
It makes sense that networking might be good for business but not good for you. And this would explain why you never get around to it. We’ve all been there – the networking event that you get invited to, and have visions of: arriving to a venue where everyone...
