San Antonio Leadership 2010
by CoachLeslie in Coaches Toolbox, The Coaching Relationship
Dear Leaders:
It is my pleasure to invite you to Leadership 2010 – San Antonio Texas!
Here is some information on Leadership…
What Leadership takes is to have a BHAG which is a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal!
…What’s your BHAG!
…What’s your dream!
What I can tell you about leadership is that it is excellent fun and adventure with people you can really relate to… other leaders and winners in their fields… and the experience of creating amazing results all in the context of fabulous leadership, coaching and teamwork!
It will change your life… that is my promise. You get training in the core distinctions of leadership in an experimental hands-on seminar, then 10 weeks of individual and team coaching to accomplish a team service project to internalize the key distinctions of leadership and create an experience of what is possible with vision, leadership and teamwork.
After 9 weeks you come back for more training and internalization of what leadership distinctions were learned/ created and prepare for what is next in your life, and how to use this in preparing for a future… living the distinctions of leadership and the art of amazing possibilities.
Dates: Jan 16-17 weekend 1 and March 20-21

If You Don’t Love What You Do…
by CoachLeslie in Coaches Toolbox, Purpose and Vision
…change it! If you don’t wake up in the morning looking forward to your day then it matters not what your doing… in my mind, that’s not success. What can you do that you absolutely love? What jump starts your passion? What can you get excited about? That’s your dream and vision.
What small steps can you take to move in the direction of creating the life you really life? Why small steps? Because each step we take toward something we love is giving us emotions such as hope and something to look forward to. The joy is in the journey creating something we love long before we get there.
Likewise, waking up to dread and hopelessness robs us of hope and something to look forward to. Our day is lifeless, boring and more like and existence than I life. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the length. I have lived both of these scenarios and can leave you with this blessing…
…may you live all of the days of your life!

What is Holding Me Back?
by CoachLeslie in Coaches Toolbox, Purpose and Vision
Barriers to performance hold us back from being who we want to be, doing what makes us happy and having what we want in our lives. When we recognize our barriers then we can move through them. The first step in change is awareness: seeing what is holding us back. Next we get to identify how this behavior still works for us, then we can decide what possibilities are open to us if we change it and choose something else.
Our barriers allow us to stick with our stories, excuses, and justifications and the same results. We all have our stories. Einstein told us that the definition of insanity is doing the same things expecting different results. Barriers show up in our bodies (stomach, head, nerves), in our language (should, Have to, always, never, could), in our attitudes (complaining, apathy), in negative self talk and in our behaviors.
Take a few moments and look at the list and notice which barriers show up in your life.
-
Dissociation, apathy
Playing the Con, exaggerating, manipulating,
Self-righteousness, feeling superior, judgmental
Playing the Victim, accusing, blaming
Feeling Regret, worthless
Doubt, self-doubt, doubting others
Confusion
Resentment, revenge motivated
“Trying” never fully committed
Lacking Follow-through, breaks promises
Cynicism, chronic mistrust
Resignation, giving up
Hopelessness, worrying/hoping about future or the past
Excusing, explaining, defending, justifying
Some ideas to ponder – What is my pay off? How does it support me? Do I still want it in my life? What resource state can I choose instead?
Example: confusion is one of my favorite barriers to performance, when I am in confusion I do not have to take action therefore I get to blame others for my situation. I don’t want this, since I am not happy when I am confused and a victim. A resource state is to focus on what I want and take one step toward that today.
