So far I'm seeing quite a hodge-podge tapestry within myself. I dug deeper to study this concept. While I'm finding it- frankly- ethnocentric, 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do see the value of this tool for introspection and self-awareness and certainly useful within this field.

I still take full responsibility for everything in my life!!! What's happening in my life currently: -learning... -learning... -learning... -creating my future... -clearing the fog before me... I am on a very good way... really! I can see much further than some weeks before.

I take full responsibility for both my words and actions in life.

Hi guys, my name is Des. I've been teaching and doing workshops with adults in health and social care for thirty years in the UK. Coaching has always been a passion, but it's not actually how I earn money. A long time ago I used to do some crazy stuff windsurfing! I live in West Wales and I'm looking forward to going through the programme!

Active Listening Ever felt like someone was just waiting for their turn to speak instead of actually hearing you? In coaching, we do the opposite. We practice Active Listening. Active listening isn’t just about being quiet; it’s about being fully present to understand the person behind the words. Here are 3 ways to level up your listening today: 1. Listen to Understand, Not to Fix: Resist the urge to jump in with advice. Sometimes, a well-timed silence is more powerful than any solution you can offer. 2. Become a "Human Trampoline": Instead of shutting ideas down, bounce them back. Use phrases like, "What I’m hearing is..." or "Tell me more about that". 3. Watch for the "Unsaid": Pay attention to tone and body language. Often, the most important information isn't in the words—it's in the energy. 💡 The Result? When people feel truly heard, they become more creative, more committed, and more open to transformation. Challenge: In your next meeting, try to ask one more question before giving your opinion.
