These will be posted on the last day of my vacation in Ireland. The “normal” service of good intentions will be resumed on Tuesday 27th July.
Today’s quotes are from the late Thomas Leonard who can be said to be the godfather of modern coaching.
There’s more information about Thomas here, here & here. You can subscribe to Thomas’s work here.
- “People spend more time worrying about what might happen than dealing with things that do happen.”
- “Focusing on the problem reinforces it. Focus on the results; problems will take care of themselves.”
- “The trappings of lifestyle are often that; traps.”
- “Tolerate nothing. When you put up with something, it costs you. Costs are expensive and thus unattractive.”
- “Great coaching is not really about coaching skills, competencies or even proficiencies. It’s about being a great person. Great people make great coaches.”
- “We’re all gonna pass on; most of us can have 50 to 70 great years as an adult. Tell me again why we should feel burdened with problems, shoulds, coulds, musts, tolerations, conflicts, pain, frustration, obligations, and duties?”
