Many people make resolutions at the beginning of the new year and have difficulty keeping up the momentum and enthusiasm they initially experience. So how can we make sure we fulfill our new year's resolutions? Here are some helpful hints to get you started.

1. Pick a manageable goal. You can always pick another if you achieve one.

4. Find an outside person to help you reinforce your goal.
5. Develop a plan and stick to it.
6. Take one step then keep walking.
7. Practice, practice, practice. The act of doing things over time creates change.

May you have a successful and fulfilling new year,

Dating Problems

A lot of people ask me why they keep dating frogs. Others revel in the rush from dating bad boys or girls but end up hurt. Many lament not being able to find Mr. or Mrs. right. What I've found out over the years is that people date haphazardly. They have some vague notion of what they want but they are missing a few key elements that will help them date at a deeper, more rewarding level. Next time you are feeling troubled by your dating life think of the following ideas.

1. Am I happy with myself or am I looking for someone to fill that void?
2. Am I doing what I want with my life?
3. Do I date negative people because, deep down, I don't like myself?
4. Do I know how to meet positive, supportive people to date?
5. Am I meeting people that make me feel good about myself?
6. Do I have the communication and interpersonal skills to date well?
7. Why do I date?

As you think of answers to these questions you will begin to understand yourself more and identify the patterns that have led you to relationship problems. If you keep repeating the same behaviors you will likely get the same results. It's only when we begin to understand ourselves and treat ourselves well that we can begin letting great people into our lives.

Happy dating,

Loving Yourself

Do you know someone who loudly proclaims that they respect and love themselves and then get trampled mercilessly by every person who comes into their lives? Do you know someone who constantly agonizes with heartache but never seems to put it behind them? Many of us navigate the waters of relationships focusing almost entirely on the other person’s needs. We invest prodigious amounts of time and energy into making someone else happy or worrying about how they’re doing while ignoring the most important person in the room, us. Why is it we go through such elaborate planning to mold our lives around someone else only to find ourselves losing our self-identity and wishing for better relationships?

Somewhere along the way we lose sight of the importance of caring for ourselves. Taking care of ourselves first is a critically important step in creating fulfilling relationships in our lives but we don’t do it consistently. We benefit from tending to our own needs first so we can be in great shape to attract positive, vibrant people into our lives and share great relationships. So how do we do that? The good news is that there are many straightforward things we can do, starting today, to take care of ourselves and begin the process of respecting and loving ourselves. We can consciously become healthy and happy by learning what respect is. Take some time to find out what your needs are.

Take care,

Respect: How to Get It

Respect is a word that gets thrown around a lot but that we don’t always define clearly. This leaves everyone guessing and doing different things that may or may not lead to respectful relationships. We sometimes ask for respect from others or we strive hard to be respectful in our relationships but we don’t always ask for it for ourselves. We may find ourselves in relationships where we give all the respect in the world and get little or none in return. So what creates this uncertain, rocky landscape when it comes to respect? It may be caused because everyone defines respect in a different way. The important thing is for you to define it in a way that works for you and that you can clearly communicate to others. We often do not receive respect because we do not tell people what we need and we don’t take action to educate them. We essentially give other people the power to treat us negatively and not respect us. These patterns keep repeating because we don’t know what else to do. As we begin our journey toward asking for respect it is helpful to define the term. In romance and relationships, respect may be defined as someone allowing us be who we are, to help us and encourage us to grow, to share our triumphs and disappointments, to listen to us and to make us feel great. So how do we find this elusive thing called respect?

A logical starting point in the quest to respect ourselves is figuring out what we want out of our relationships and how we want to be treated. If we don’t know what we want, then how can we expect others to fulfill our wishes? Think in terms of defining who you are as a person and what is important to you. The second step toward honoring ourselves is to ask for respect from others. This is accomplished by asking the significant people in our lives for what we need. It’s our job to educate others about how we would like to be treated. As you’ve probably noticed, people aren’t mind readers – we have to tell them what we want. Many of us believe that people will just automatically understand how to respect us but, for the most part, people treat us exactly like we show them how to. We get results based on what we put out. If you act like a doormat you will attract people who will treat you like one. If you act healthy and balanced you will attract that kind of people.

Have a self-respecting day,

Do You Feel Insecure?

We sometimes feel insecure about ourselves and wonder if people are judging us or perhaps don't like us. Insecurity is not about other people, it's about us. When we feel insecure we are looking at the world through our fears. Some helpful things to think about when we're feeling insecure are:

What difference does it make what that person thinks of me?
Nobody anybody says can affect us unless we let it.
Insecurity goes away when we practice doing things and get better at them.
Take a moment to take it easy on yourself.
There are great things about you that you can feel secure about right now.

It's a good idea to focus on things you feel secure about and to practice those you don't feel secure about. Practice helps you build confidence and competence. Next time you feel insecure ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" and move on to either trying to something differently. Only you have the power to get rid of insecurity.

Have a secure day,

Are You Ready to Take Action?

Many people get closer to their dreams by taking action. When you purposefully decide to move in a certain direction you begin a journey that will take you in directions you may not even have imagined. Here's what some wise people have to say about the subject.

Anais Nin:

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Anatole France:

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Alfred North Whitehead:

We cannot think first and act afterward. From the moment of birth we are immersed in action, and can only fitfully guide it by taking thought.

Have an action-filled day,

Conflict May be About Deeper Issues

Many people go through life putting out fires and reacting to whatever conflict comes their way rather than trying to prevent it. We often spend much of our time focusing on the issue on the surface but don't do anything to resolve the underlying situation. Think about the last time you had a fight with someone you loved. What was it about? Did you fix it? Did it go away permanently? Think of the following points next time you are in conflict with someone.

What is this conflict really about?
What am I feeling inside and where does that come from?
Do I really care whether the toilet seat is up or is it about something else?
What is it about me that compels me to fight about this?
What do I need to do to fix this situation?

When you ask yourself questions like these you begin the process of understanding yourself. It is this self-knowledge that helps us figure out who we really are at a deeper level. We spend so much time fighting about things that are only the tip of the real problem that lies below. Think about it next time you get upset. Am I really mad about the lid being left off the jar or is it that I feel like no one cares about me?

Once you figure out what's really going on you can begin doing the important work to actually fix your relationship and life conflicts.

Take care,

Guy

Getting Relationship Help that Works

Many people who have relationship problems think that they can fix them themselves or get help from friends and family. The difficulty with this approach is that not everyone is qualified to help us find the answers we want. They may mean well and love us very much but they may not have a clue on how to actually fix a problem. Ask yourself the following questions next time you are looking for someone to help you with your relationship challenges.

Does this person have a track record of expert relationship problem solving?
Does this person listen unconditionally without giving advice?
Does this person help you come up with your own answers?
Is this person too close to the situation or not objective enough?
Does the person have anything to gain from a specific outcome?
Has this person had any training in fixing relationships?

These basic questions highlight the importance of getting help that will not only make you feel better or supported but, additionally, to find help that helps you create the results you want. The advice you get from others may be kind and supportive but does the problem go away?

I often hear from my clients that it is difficult to seek outside help. We are often taught that we need to fix things ourselves or should not trust anyone outside of friends and family. The good news is that an outside person or coach can help you make a problem go away. A supportive coach has the skills and experience to help you move in any direction you choose.

The next time you have a relationship problem and need help, think of contacting a coach. Interview them and find out if they would work well with you. Find out if they can help you create the results you want. You may be pleasantly surprised with the range of helpful services a coach can provide you. You may also contact me with any questions on coaching or how it can be helpful to you.

Have a great day,

Do You Love Yourself?

Have you ever known someone who says they love themselves but seems to be angry at the world or always has awful relationships? The general guideline for someone who loves herself is that she becomes more balanced, more accepting, kinder and more happy. Learning how to love ourselves begins with self-knowledge. Do you really love yourself? A good way of finding out is to evaluate whether you do things that help or hurt you in relationships. List the things that you allow to happen that are uplifting and then a list of the ones that bring you down. Do you have more things in your life that make you feel great or a larger number of disappointments? If you have a significant number of negative items on your list, don’t worry this just a tool to give you an idea of what to work on first. Look at your list and pick one thing from the negative side that you want to work on, the one that jumps out at you the most. Congratulate yourself because you have now started the process of working on self-love.

Have a great day,

Guy

Celebrate Yourself

Treating yourself well is as much a habit as a state of mind. It's a good idea to cut yourself some slack and celebrate the things you do well. We spend so much time beating ourselves up that we forget that we possess wonderful skills and abilities. Ask yourself the following questions to begin thinking about how great you are.

1. What do I do well?
2. What do I love to do?
3. What thing do I do that truly makes me happy?
4. What can I do to reward myself today in a positive way?
5. What am I an expert on?
6. What can I do today to take care of myself?

Practice one of these ideas each day and teach yourself how to live a life of positive self reinforcement rather than negativity. Learn to be your own best supporter, a person who recongnizes the amazing things about you. Don't be afraid of doing something silly like saying affirmations to yourself out loud. You have a unique power to be your own best supporter. It just takes a little practice and perserverance.

Keep doing it and, over time, you will shift your way of thinking to one that celebrates the things that make you special.

Have a great day and celebrate yourself,

Guy

What You Put Out is What You Get Back

Think about this proposition next time you interact with people at work
or in your personal life. How does the vibe you put out affect what you
get back from people. For example, how do you feel when someone does
the following:

Frowns.
Scowls.
Speaks in an aggressive tone of voice or shouts.
Doesn't listen.
Doesn't look at you.
Is angry or impatient.
Talks over you.
Rolls their eyes.
Always griping or negative.

How
would you react to a person acting like this? I bet you can think of
many other things that are not conducive to great communication or to
effective interpersonal relationships. It's amazing how much the energy
we put out affect what we get back.
On the other hand, think of how you react when someone projects the following:

Smiles.
Listens.
Speaks in a calm tone.
Looks at you.
Talks when appropriate.
Nods and prompts you for more information.
Focuses on positive approaches.

What was your reaction to this type of behavior? If you're like most people
you would likely be more attracted to interacting with this person.
There really is something to the idea that what we put out is what we
get back. What can you do about it? Start today by putting out positive
vibes that the world can pick up on. It will take conscious effort and
practice on your part but, over time, you will transform who you are
and attract greater positivity.

Have a positive day,

Guy

How to Deal With Difficult People

I frequently facilitate workshops with managers and business people and the question frequently comes up on how to deal with difficult people. The answer is multifaceted but it comes down to understanding your role, understanding the other person and setting an atmosphere where you can actually bond with the other person.

Think about the following ideas when you encounter a difficult person.

1. Take a deep breath or do something to calm yourself down.
2. Realize that difficult people aren't difficult because of you.
3. Don't take difficult people's behavior personally.
4. Ask the person to talk at a mutually beneficial time.
5. Make sure there are no interruptions and that the atmosphere is calm.
6. Try to determine what is going on together.
7. Listen, listen, listen.
8. Do some more listening.
9. Listen more than talk.
10. Did I mention listening.

The point I am making is that we each have a great deal of control over how
we react to difficult people. It's amazing how much easier we can make
interactions if we let go of our personal hurts and grievances and just
listen to the other person. Listening doesn't cost us anything and we
actually create an opportunity to figure out what's going on.

The big mistake we most often make is that we let the difficult person hook
us into a confrontation. We then end up trying to defend ourselves or
win an argument. In cases like this the difficult person has roped you
into conflict and you have gone along willingly.

Try the ideas above and take yourself out of the equation by not feeding into the
difficult behavior. Learn about the person and try your best to find
out what makes them behave the way they do. You might be amazed at what
you find out.

Have a difficult-person-free day,

How to Communicate Effectively

My clients often ask me how to communicate more effectively. We all are capable of communicating effectively we just haven't learned how to actually do it. Here are some basic tips on how to gets started.

1. Set up an atmosphere for communicating. Everyone gets to say what they want, nobody is punished, everyone is safe to say what they want with no fear of retribution.

2. Everyone agrees to listen and only person talks at a time. When someone speaks other people simply listen. There should be no advice giving, rebuttals or contradicting. Everyone gets a chance to say what they want.

3. Everyone agrees that there is no such thing as a wrong comment or dumb question.

4. Everyone agrees to talk about the same amount of time. No one person monopolizes the conversation. No one person is more important than another.

5. We agree to communicate with each other respectfully, with a calm tone of voice, without harsh language and with no derogatory comments.

6. We agree that any information that is communicated will not be used against someone or to make them feel bad.

7. Keep it simple. Say what you mean, say it briefly and constructively.

8. Leave any personal agendas out of the meeting.

9. Keep it positive. Communication ideally builds a positive atmosphere that promotes solutions rather than only gripe sessions.

Once you follow all of these concepts you will be on your way to communicating effectively. Each one takes practice and commitment from all parties involved. Practice each one (one at a time) until you master it. When you have mastered all of them you will experience the peace of mind that comes from communicating effectively.

Have a great communication day,

The Power of Positive Thinking

I was coaching a group of people all of whom had been through significant trauma in their lives. I asked the question, "Why is it that you all are able to move forward when others don't?" What is the difference between those who can overcome adversity and those who get stuck with it?

The answer is simple but significant. The people that overcome obstacles are those who are able to focus on the positive. This doesn't mean that they minimize trauma or don't acknowledge difficulties it's simply that they are able to focus on actually doing positive things.

People have an amazing ability to move in any direction they want to. Right this moment you could start doing something to change your life if you wanted to. All it takes is making a conscious decision that you are going to do something, anything. Being positive is about focusing on the things you can change and that you have control over.

We are able to change ourselves because we have control over what we do. Next time you feel like there is no hope try doing one thing to interrupt those thoughts and that will move you in a positive direction. Time after time I've had clients tell me that all it took to change their lives was thinking positively about something they used to think of as negative.

Have a positive day,

Guy

How to Change Your Life

People often ask me how to change their lives. The answer is simple but doing it is the hard part. We are in a culture that demands quick results and changing our lives requires deliberate action over time. Next time you are wondering how to change your life here is the answer that many people have used to transform their situation.

1. Think of what you want to change.
2. Devise a strategy to change it.
3. Pick one goal.
3. Pick one task you can do to start achieving your goal.
4. Check in with yourself in a week to see if you achieved the goal.
5. If the goal needs revising, do so. If you've completed it, move to the next goal.
6. Reward yourself each time you complete a goal. No overindulging please.


Try these steps and see if they help you change your life. Everyone who has ever changes their lives started with desire but they all needed a plan to do it. Put one foot in front of the other and strive to complete your goals. If you feel like giving up that is normal but please continue walking forward.

No life change is easy. They all take deliberate effort but people achieve their goals all the time. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do so as well.

All the best,

Guy
Life Coach Reno

When You Have No Hope

Many of us reach points in our lives where we feel like nothing is going right. I ask people to focus on the things that are going right. It may sound simplistic but much of how we see the world is based on perspective.

Why is it that one person sees an event as a tragedy while another sees it simply as a bump in the road? Perspective. Why is it that one person crumbles when faced with adversity but others thrive? Perspective.

When you give up hope you give up believing that you can affect the world around you. This is only a perception because, in fact, you can always do something to move your life in a different direction. Try these simple techniques to overcome the challenges in your life.

1. Take an inventory of the things you do well.
2. Pick one of the things you came up with to work on.
3. Take steps to finish the work.
4. Move on to the next thing you want to do.

Regaining hope is often about finding your inner confidence. You reconnect to your inner hope and confidence by actually doing things and experiencing the challenge of completing tasks. Doing things literally impells you to do something besides dwell on your loss of hope. Try these steps and move in a direction that satisfies you. You deserve it.

Have a hope filled day,

Guy

Self Reflection

Clients frequently ask me how to figure out other people. Oftentimes the key to our happiness does not rest on other people but within us. Self reflection is a skill that benefits us by helping us understand our needs so that we can take care of them. It's a great skill to learn because it helps us make ourselves feel good.

Take a moment today to reflect on who you are as a person. You can start by taking an inventory of the achievements you are most proud of and those you wish you could improve. Ask yourself some questions like the following:

1. What am I most proud of?
2. What skills do I possess?
3. Where do I see myself in 6 months, 1 year, 5 years?
4. What are the challenges I face?
5. What will I do to overcome the challenges?

Thinking about ourselves isn't selfish, it's actually a great way to begin healing our wounds and building ourselves up. Try beginning the process today and you will start to notice that it feels great to focus on yourself and your future.

Have a reflective day,

Finding Your Meaning of Life

People tell me about their goals and aspirations followed by all the reasons why they can't do anything about them. Frequently the only thing stopping people from doing what they want to is their self-imposed limitations.

The meaning of life is pretty much whatever you decide it is for you. You have immense power to move your life in any direction you want it to. Try the following today:

1. Think of something you really love doing.
2. Plan a way to fit this thing into your life.
3. Continue doing it.

Make sure you act in ways that get you closer to your dreams. For example: If you love art do everything in your power to pursue the interest. This could mean taking an art class, going to museums, creating your own art or talking to artists. The idea is to begin doing things in the area you love.

Once you start this movement toward doing things you love you will live life more meaningfully. I always encourage people to do the things that bring them joy. In this way, we live more meaningful lives.

All the best,

Guy

Take Action to Love Yourself

As you’ve probably guessed from experience, loving yourself is about doing things that lead to positive outcomes as well as learning how to improve yourself. An additional action you can take to learn how to love yourself is to find out who you are. Set aside some time, without interruptions, to find out who you are. Ask yourself some self-discovery questions. What is my passion in life? What are the things I do well? What are the areas I can improve? What is my part in creating great relationships?

The process of loving ourselves comes from understanding who we are and working through the things that block our ability to love ourselves. For example: If you have difficulty committing in a relationship it may stem from something inside you that blocks you from accepting or giving love. If you identify what is blocking you it suddenly gives you a lot of power to change what you are doing. Self-love is about practicing positive behaviors and experiencing the joy that comes from learning about yourself.

Have a great day,

Dealing with a Broken Heart

Many of us have had our hearts broken. Sometimes it’s by a parent, a friend, a relative, a coworker or a significant other. We can gain a lot of strength from how we deal with these hurts. It’s perfectly natural to be hurt and how we deal it will lead us down the path toward having a healthy or failing heart. Think about it, the way you treat your heart can affect many areas in your life. Imagine if you could never recover from and insult or a break-up.

Our heart follows our actions. We can choose to stay stuck in pain and misery or we can choose to be kind to our heart and do things to move in a more positive direction. We have the ability to change our behavior consciously, a skill that comes in handy when tending to our hearts. Next time your heart hurts ask yourself some questions that will help you move in a positive direction. What is hurting me? What can I do to improve how I feel and take care of myself? What can I do to interrupt the pattern that keeps me stuck with a hurting heart? When you discover why you are hurting you then are able to do something differently. Our hearts often hurt because we have not yet learned how to mend them and nurse them back to health. Some people carry this hurt their entire lives. Much as an unhealthy heart can keep us from running a marathon, it can also keep us from enjoying a great relationship. When we learn how to care for our heart we can then enjoy it in all its healthy glory.

Take care,

Communication in Relationships

People often ask me what to do on a date or in a relationship when trying to start a conversation. Many of us learned how to communicate in our families and with friends so we may only know one style; our own. Learning a couple of basic skills can help us make the most of communicating with anyone. Try these ideas next time you are talking to a date or someone you are in a relationship with.

1. Listen actively.
2. Ask open ended questions.
3. Listen actively.
4. Did I mention listening actively?

One of the easiest ways to help a conversation get started and build is to listen and ask questions. To be an active listener try the following:

1. Look at the other person.
2. Really listen carefully and give all your attention to what the other person says rather than thinking about what you want to say next.
3. Nod or say uh-huh to indicate you are listening.

Open ended questions are formed by asking questions that can’t be answered with a yes or no. Ask “What did you think about that?” rather than “I bet your really thought that was horrible.” The open ended question will invite the other person to tell you more rather than answering yes or no.

Try these common sense ideas and you will be on your way to gaining a new understanding of other people. I wish you all the best as you begin mastering the art of communication.

Have a communication filled day,

Guy

I Always Go Out with Losers

Many have had the experience of going out with someone who is not good for us. First let's clarify that there is no such thing as a loser, just people who haven't yet found a way to move in a positive direction. We often actively contribute to getting stuck in negative patterns and we label the other person as a loser rather than looking at ourselves. Ask yourself these questions next time you're wondering why you are stuck going out with less than marvelous people:

1. What does being with this person say about me?
2. How can I move in a different direction?
3. What can I do to improve myself so I don't attract these people?
4. What can I learn from this?
5. Do I have a plan for change?

Everyone is capable of attracting good people. There really are no losers at all, just people who are stuck in negative patterns. Good luck finding your positive pattern.

Take care,

Get Help to Fix Your Relationship Problem

A lot of us prefer to try to fix our problems on our own rather than reach out to others. We may ask for help from friends or family but with limited success. We hesitate to ask for help because we have been taught that we should take care of things ourselves.

The good news is that there have been advances in the kind of help we can receive in the last 20 years. The stigma associated with looking for outside help is going away. Many of my clients say they have difficulty going to therapy. Although I think therapy is an excellent way to work out issues there are also alternatives such as coaching.

When I work with people we don't go into mental health issues or dwell in the past. It is not because these things aren't important but rather because coaching deals with the here and now and what you can do to improve it in the future.

I work with people to help them figure out what's going on and help them formulate a plan to fix it. This approach is helpful for people who just need a supportive outside person who can motivate them to move in the direction they choose.

If you have been looking for a way to deal with relationship issues or problems perhaps coaching is a good option for you. A coach helps you get what you want out of your relationships by clearing away that obstacles and helping you design your new path to happiness.

Have a great relationship day,

5 Steps to Great Dating

Great dating is about knowing who you are and how to be treated well. We often go for exciting people rather than those who will treat us well and will become more exciting over time. Think about the following next time you are trying to improve your dating experiences:

1. Who am I as a person?
2. What do I want out of dating?
3. Do the people I date build me up as a person and make me feel great about myself?
4. Do I date because I'm healthy and happy or do I date to fulfill some other need?
5. Am I doing things to date people who share my interests and dreams?

Dating doesn't have to be serious and boring, it can be very exciting when you find people who really share your interests and who treat you well. Always keep in mind that you deserve to date people who make you feel great and let you be who you are.

Have a great dating day,

You Can Do It

The only thing that separates those who succeed from those who don't is follow through. Many of us can envision doing something but we don't take any steps to actually do it. I work with my clients to help them understand that they really can do anything they want. Think about the following steps next time you wish you could do something and use them to motivate yourself to do them.

1. What do you want to do? This is your goal.
2. What can you do today to move toward your goal? This gets you moving.
3. What will you do within one month to keep doing things.
4. Keep doing it.

Nobody ever completes or succeeds at any project unless they start. Once you start the only thing you have to worry about it how to keep going. You will naturally run into roadblocks and challenges. You will learn a lot about yourself based on how you keep yourself motivated.

Once you realize that you don't have to give up your hopes and dreams and that you can really do something about transforming your life, you can begin enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Have an action filled life,

Dating Advice and Online Coaching

One proven way to find dates is to work on yourself first and do the things you love. Too often we spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to find the perfect person or mold someone else into what we would like rather than first understanding who we are and what we are looking for. The people who prove to be the most successful in dating at a meaningful level are those who surround themselves with people and activities that they really enjoy.

When you work on yourself and do things you love you begin moving your life in a direction where you move amongst people who have interests like yours. Find what it is that really makes you happy and move in those circles. In that way, you increase your chances of meeting someone who actually shares your interests and philosophy.

Get yourself as healthy as possible and you will attract the same. The better you feel about yourself the more it wards off the people who love misery. You attract what you project. When you are healthy you realize that you deserve to be treated well and you tend to attract people who are in a similar state of mind. When you are unhealthy, people see you coming and you will attract people who are willing to capitalize on your vulnerability or share their misery with you.

A thought on online romance. We frequently rely on the internet to connect with others but there is a lot to be said for giving up the safety and fantasy of sitting at a computer for the greater challenge of meeting people face to face. Enjoy getting out there in the real world and show people who you are in person and that you deserve a healthy, rewarding relationship.

Have a great dating day,

You Can Do It

When I help people figure out what they want out of relationships and life in general a common theme arises time after time: that every movement in our lives starts with us. This seems like a basic concept but it can have profound implications. We can choose to move in a different direction at any time but we have to start. If you want to try out this concept try this:

1. Think of something you want to achieve in your life.
2. Think of one thing you can do today to achieve your goal.
3. Take action and do it.
4. Praise yourself for actions you complete.
5. Ask yourself, "What did I learn about myself?"
6. Repeat.

People just like you create amazing change in their lives by taking action. It's incredible how much control we have over our lives if we consciously do things to change it.

Relationship Advice to Help You Fix a Problem

A lot of us prefer to try to fix our relationship problems on our own rather than ask for help. We may ask for advice from friends or family but with limited success. After all, people can only give us advice based on what they know and many people, though well meaning, do not know how to fix a relationship problem. We may end up not asking for help at all because we have been taught that we should take care of things ourselves or we don't get useful advice.

The good news is that there are resources available to you to fix relationship problems. The stigma associated with looking for outside help is going away and people are more open to getting help from an impartial, outside person. The benefit of getting outside help is that the person does not have any interest in the outcome other than helping you find solutions that work for you. Therapy is an excellent way to work out issues but there are also alternatives such as coaching when you don't require mental health related services. I always recommend that if people have a mental health issue they benefit from seeing mental health professionals. For issues related to our functioning in relationships a coach can often be helpful.

When I coach people we don't go into mental health issues or dwell in the past. It is not because these things aren't important but rather because coaching deals with the here and now and what you can do to improve it in the future. I literally help you change the way you do things now and do them in a way that works for you. You make all the decisions with guidance and support.

I work with people to help them figure out a new way of doing things. Coaching is helpful for people who just need a supportive outside person who can motivate them to move in the direction they choose. It's like having a friend listen to you who is actually qualified to help you resolve your problems.

If you have been looking for a way to deal with relationship issues or problems perhaps coaching is a good option for you. A coach helps you get what you want out of your relationships by clearing away that obstacles and helping you design your new path to happiness. Feel free to contact me at the link below if you have any questions about how coaching can help you transform your relationships.

Have a great relationship day,

Conflict Resolution

People often ask me how to resolve conflicts. Many people think that letting conflict build up, followed by an explosion, followed by another build-up period is the natural cycle of conflict. The only difficulty with this approach is that the conflict continues and doesn't get resolved. The only real solution is to fix the conflict by taking action. Follow the following steps to begin working on resolving rather than perpetuating conflict.

1. Each person identifies what the they think the conflict is.
2. Both people agree together on one definition of the conflict to begin resolving.
3. Each person comes up with two or three possible solutions.
4. Both people agree together on which solution to implement.
5. If the parties can't work together find a mediator.

Resolving conflict is about working with the other person to actually fix the situation. The act of doing all the previous steps (always in order) allows us the chance to work with the other person rather than against them. Make sure you start at the first step and do not progress to the next if you haven't finished the previous step. We are conditioned to rush to solutions but frequently forget that it the working through the issue that gets us the most permanent and satisfactory results.

Fighting With Family

When it comes to family, conflict can be especially painful. My clients often ask me what to do about a family member who they can't get along with. It can be tricky to deal with family because there are often rules we are expected to follow in our families.

We feel a sense of duty toward family but that doesn't give people some free pass to hurt each other. Ideally we treat everyone with the same dignity and respect whether they are family or not.

Here's a couple of things to think about:

1. Respect your needs and beliefs first.
2. Inform your family about what you want. Set limits and boundaries.
3. Inform your family you are available to work things out.
4. Work with them to resolve the conflict.
5. Set the example for how you want to be treated.
6. Take some time away if things get heated.
7. Expect resistance.

You are your own unique person regardless of what your family says. It's ultimately healthiest to pay attention to the things that bring you joy and happiness than to try to mold yourself into someone else's vision. Trust yourself and teach your family who you are. Do it with kindness and patience and eventually they will understand who you are.

Baby Boomers and Retirement

So you're a baby boomer and you are contemplating retirement. I help
baby boomers figure out what they want to do with the rest of their
lives. Retirement can be both exciting and challenging time in our
lives. Baby boomers are in a position to do some great things with the
remainder of their lives. Retirement is no longer a call to retire in
Florida for the boomers. The baby boom generation has much to give and
a new vision of what retirement means.

The
key to retirement is to make it rewarding for you. Ask yourself the
following questions to figure out what you want to do with the rest of
your life.

Will I continue working?
What is my passion in life and am I pursuing it?
What unresolved issues do I need to fix in my life?
How is my relationship with those I love?
What are my skills and talents?
What will I do with the rest of my life.
What brings me great joy and am I doing that?

Take
a moment to think about who you really are as a person and what you
want to purposefully do with your life. When I coach people, I help them
clarify what they want out of life and plan for the future. I'm always
amazed at the wonderful things that people can do when they follow
their dreams.

As you think about retirement try to include
things you love and that have great meaning to you. Retirement can be a
wonderful time to show the world who you are and leave your mark as the
great person you are.

Have a purposeful day,

What do You Want to Do with Your Life?

Many of us are searching for what we want to do with our lives. I frequently recommend to my clients that they do things that bring them joy and that really speak to who they are as a person. A quick checklist you can use to figure out if you are doing what you love could include:

What do I love doing more than anything? Am I doing it?
What am I doing to pursue my dreams?
Am I settling for a life that does not include my dreams?
What am I afraid of?
What can I do today to move toward my dreams?

Moving one's life in the direction we want it to go in requires conscious thought. The good news is that anyone can do concrete things to move in any direction they want. Start today and you could be on your way to doing the things you've dreamed of.

Have a purpose filled day,

What is Business Coaching?

Business coaching can help you improve yourself and your business by helping you focus your energy and talent on things that will help you take your business to the next level. I help executives, managers and companies improve staff morale, increase productivity, build stronger teams and practice excellent workplace communications. I help managers to help them delegate more effectively and give their staff the opportunity to grow and excel. I help business owners focus their vision and take action on their goals.

Successful business owners know that when their employees feel their skills and abilities are being recognized and utilized the business benefits from a more productive workforce. Skilled managers understand that a happy workforce reduces turnover and hiring costs. I enjoy working with businesses to help them identify their employees strengths and use their talents.

Coaching services I provide include:

Individual Coaching: Targeted support for staff to help improve specific situations. Coaching helps individuals clarify what is happening in the situation and develop strategies to meet the challenge. Individuals build on their own strengths and devise their own plans of action with the support and encouragement of a coach.

Group Coaching: Working intensively with staff to build a shared culture and purpose. Build stronger interpersonal connections through ongoing skill building. Coach monitors participant progress and promotes accountability by encouraging participants to meet their goals and plan for the present and future.

Success Coaching: Supportive partnering to identify areas of interest, barriers to achievement and areas of strength. Build clearer goals and devise specific strategies to reach those goals. Develop a clearer vision of where you are going and how you will get there.

Businesses benefit from having an impartial outside person coach staff individually and in small groups to build skills and achieve goals. Coaching is an ongoing process that helps the individual clarify what she wants to accomplish and helps her achieve it through strategic support and accountability. Coaching is individualized and focuses on promoting successful behaviors that create change over time.

Have a successful business day,

Talking without Defensiveness

A skill that will help you evaluate almost any relationship issue it to learn how to have a conversation without defensiveness. I often hear from my clients that it is very difficult to not take things personally. It is natural for us to think that everything another person says has to do with us but, in reality, what other people tell us is simply their perception.

Take for example a couple where one person says to the other that he can't stand the way the other person treats him. Let's examine the statement in a brand new way. The natural inclination for many people is to get upset and feel threatened or hurt. Try these ideas next time someone says something that you normally would fight back about or that gets you defensive:

1. Examine the statement only as words. In this case the person said they can't stand the way we treat them. Look at this as simply a statement by the other person that reflects how they think. Take yourself out of the picture by making the statement about them and not you. In this way, you have just created an opportunity to take what the other person has said and learn something about how they think.

2. Think of the statement as window into the other person's thoughts and take the opportunity to learn about the other person. After all, they're only telling you about their perception.

3. Ask open ended questions to gather more information. For example: What are the reasons you think that? Gather information only. Don't judge, don't get upset and don't fight. Ask open ended questions until the tone of the conversation changes from tension to calm.

4. Listen, listen, listen. Try not to comment, rebut, challenge or change the other person's point of view no matter how much you disagree. Don't interrupt. Hang in there until the conversation goes from being confrontational to calming down. You will know when you have listened enough because the other person will be calmer.

5. When the other person is finished, repeat what they have said. Thank them for the information and tell them you will consider it. You don't need to do anything else at this point.

What you have just done is given the other person the chance to tell you about themselves. You have also shown them what it is like to be listened to in a relationship and to have your point of view accepted for what it is: your point of view. This sets up a very important dynamic because it introduces the possibility that both people can actually express themselves without always getting mad.

Try this approach the next time you find yourself in a situation where someone is telling you something that sets you off. If you practice this approach, the other person will notice that you are giving them the chance to speak and will be more likely to do the same for you.

Even if the other person is saying things to try to upset you, if you use this approach, you will be able to get information directly from the other person to clarify what's going on. Often people say things they don't mean because they don't feel heard or don't think it will matter to the other person. I hope you will use this approach to help defuse the amount of defensiveness in your relationship.

The Meaning of Life and Relationships

Abraham Lincoln once said, "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

Life is what we make of it and I always strive to help people recognize what it is they want to do with their lives. In relationships we often settle for situations that repeat patterns established by our parents or approaches we learned from our friends.

I suggest to people. "Why not try something different if what you are doing is not working?" The reason I ask that question is that we often invest huge amounts of time and energy in situations that don't make us feel great rather than doing some work to move in a different direction.

I've had many people tell me the meaning of life is finding one's own balance point and living a life of fulfillment and peace. People who are successful in relationships understand this concept because they are always striving to do the work necessary to work toward peace and balance.

How to Attract Great Relationships

Attracting the Right People People often ask me why they keep dating the wrong people. The answer that they most often come up with after some self-exploration is that they are looking for people based on mistaken assumptions.

Most of us look for people that create a spark, that excite us into wanting to get to know them better. This method creates an initial euphoria that blinds us to understanding clearly what we want from relationships. We become so intoxicated with romance that we are unable to make rational decisions.

What I try to help people with is building self-awareness. When we understand who we are and what we love and need we tend to make better choices regarding relationships. If we don't know ourselves very well or don't like ourselves we tend to attract people that reinforce that. When we understand ourselves better and are healthier we tend to attract more positive people.

There really is no magic to this process. What's been shown to work time after time is that people who are healthy attract other healthy people. All it takes is some work first on getting ourselves as healthy mentally and physically as possible. Then we attract people who admire us for the wonderful, healthy people we are.

Are You Living a Creative Life?

Creativity is one of the most effective ways to overcome any challenges in our lives. Moving in a different direction is often a matter of thinking creatively and doing something differently. Here's what some smart people say about creativity:

Albert Einstein:

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Arthur Koestler:

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Beatrix Potter:

Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

Joy in Life

When I coach people they often tell me they have difficulty experiencing joy in their lives. Joy is a wonderful concept which I define as experiencing pure bliss and contentment. Joy is also complex in that we could not experience it if we did not also experience pain. A life of perpetual joy would soon begin to feel bland, so we need the ups and downs that come with everyday experience.

How do you define joy? Joy can be that moment at which you feel complete happiness and want for nothing else. It can be gazing into someone's eyes whom you love or doing something that means a lot to you. Joy is what we experience when we work through difficulties and as we let go of the things that bring us down. Here's what some smart people have to say about the matter:


Pearl S. Buck:

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.


Audre Lorde:

The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.


Kahlil Gibran:

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?


May you experience great joy in your life,

Guy

Are You Insecure?

Insecurity chips away at many people's self-esteem and keeps us stuck feeling poorly about ourselves. It can even affect our relationships because it inserts and unhealthy element into the relationship. Insecurity can be defined as when someone feels that they are not worthwhile. People feel insecure when they are scared, feel threatened or feel like they are not important.

Some people withdraw when they are insecure others lash out. Regardless of how we behave, insecurity is about how we feel about ourselves. So what can we do to feel better about ourselves. Think of the following ideas to boost your self confidence and reduce your insecurity.

Characteristics of Secure People
Aren't threatened by others.
Listen well and don't require attention by talking.
Don't require attention all the time.
Are comfortable with other people's success.
Don't feel they have to win.
Don't put other people down to make themselves feel better.

Characteristics of Insecure People
Threatened by others.
Talk a lot to get attention.
Need to be the center of attention.
Jealous of others' success.
Competitive, always need to win.
Put people down to feel better.

Think of yourself, where do you fall on these two extremes? If you see yourself on the insecure side, don't worry, all you have to do is increase some of the positive traits. Even very insecure people can feel better about themselves by doing things that allow them to experience their own success.

I suggest to my clients that they find out something they like to do and pursue it. Learn from the successes and challenges in life and you will learn how to feel great about yourself. Feeling secure takes some practice but the rewards are amazing.

I wish you an insecurity-free life,

How to Fix a Family Problem

For much of history we have viewed the family as a unit that helped us
with survival. We depended on each other because there was strength and
security in numbers. Recentdevelopments in society and technology have
allowed us to experience the family differently than we used to. We now
are able to work on making our families as healthy as possible - a
concept that ourancestors never even contemplated.

With this new ability to improve the health of our families comes a great
opportunity to enjoy our family relationships like never before. We
also get to face challenges in new ways. In the past we let conflict
fester and continue throughout our lives. We didn't have the tools to
actually fix things. Now we do and coaching gives families some tools
they can use to increase the happiness in their homes.

Some basic things you can think about when a family problem arises include:

What is the problem really about?
Do you know what each family member thinks about the problem?
Have you all worked together to come up with possible solutions?
Is everyone's voice listened to and given equal weight?
Does everyone know how to listen to other points of view?
Can people deal with conflict without escalating?
Is conflict an opportunity for change in your family?
How are your communication skills?
Do you have a consistent system for resolving problems in the family?
Do you ask for neutral help or advice from uninvolved third parties?

Resolving problems in the family has a lot to do with the skills and experiences
we bring to the table. A lot of us repeat the patterns we saw at home
but we now have the benefit of new strategies to actually resolve
problems rather than perpetuating them. Consider some of the following
ideas for your family:

Develop a conflict resolution strategy.
Develop communication skills.
Develop listening skills.
Work together.

It's amazing how those four basic elements can help families resolve
problems. Most of our families are not set up to fix problems, just
make them go away temporarily. I love working with parents to create
new ways of actually fixing problems in the family. I enjoy helping
people enjoy their families more.

A coach can help you figure out what is going on in your family and help you develop a plan to fix it. You get to decide what you want to do and how you are going to do
it.

Take care,

Guy
Life Coach in Reno

Perspective

It's amazing how perspective affects almost everything we do. How is it that a family in Bangladesh living in complete poverty can report being happy while a family in an affluent suburb says they are a mess. The answer may lie in perspective.

Perspective is the way we see the world through our own filters. If we filter out the good, then we tend to focus on the things that aren't as positive. If we filter out the negative, we are better able to see the beneficial side of things. A great example of perspective is found in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim doesn't have use of his legs but he does not wallow in self pity, he forges on and actually is a source of strength for the family.

We are faced with important choices throughout our lives. At any moment we can choose the path we wish to take and the perspective we choose. Try this simple exercise sometime. Next time you feel you can't overcome an obstacle consciously tell yourself, "I can handle this," or some other positive affirmation. In this way you will be shifting from a negative to a positive perspective.

It's amazing what can happen when we choose a perspective that gives us the power to move forward rather than the view that keeps us stuck.

Clarity in Relationships

People in relationships often move in different directions without even knowing it. Even some of the best intentioned people who really care for each other experience conflict and challenges because they are not on the same page.

I'm a big supporter of clarity in relationships. Clarity is when everyone involved understands what's going on in the relationship. It does away with assumptions, secrets, guesses, misunderstandings and frustration because we actually get to figure out what's going on.

How to gain clarity? Next time you encounter conflict in any relationship do the following to really understand what's going on:

1. Each person talks uninterrupted about how they see the situation?
2. Each person listens carefully without judging, rebutting or giving advice.
3. Each person asks open ended questions to clarify what is going on.
4. The people agree on a way to proceed.

Dialogue is very important to achieving clarity. Make sure to practice listening skills and asking questions. Open ended questions are questions that don't lead to a yes or no answer and allow the other person to meaningfully explain where they are coming from.

This is a style of talking about relationship issues that doesn't require confrontation; it's just about people listening to each other and sharing their points of view. Try it sometime to gain clarity on what's going on in your relationship.

Take care,

Guy
Life Coach in Reno

Balance and Leadership

I was talking to a very accomplished executive today who felt overwhelmed by everything going on in his life at work. Upon examination he realized that he had been juggling a great deal of different projects and hadn't taken time to think about the things that once had made him a balanced leader. The daily grind had reduced him to a reactive person he barely recognized. His employees were showing all the signs that they were not happy either.

We become so engrossed in living life at a rapid pace that we forget that we can enjoy things better if we pause occasionally to relax, recharge and reflect. The only caveat is that you have to deliberately carve time out of your day to refocus and recharge. Take some time in your day to not do anything. Look at a sunset, sit by a stream, go walking in the city with no particular goal. Life becomes more enjoyable when we take time to regain our balance. It also has the effect of making our employees happier. Happier employees make us more money.

Balance helps us be better leaders. It helps us relate to others from a position of calm and understanding. It helps us do away with the constant putting out of fires and working in crisis mode. Balanced leaders simply live better lives, create better workplaces and produce better results.

Balance helps us maintain a generally positive course that will help us connect with our employees in ways no amount of directive supervision can. It grounds us and helps us make decisions based on careful forethought. How does one achieve balanced leadership? By working on it starting today.

Build Your Listening Skills

Most of us say that we're good listeners. Let me give you some ideas of what good listeners do so you can see how you're doing. Good listeners do many of the following things:

1. Don't talk.
2. Nod and prompt the other person to say more.
3. Ask open ended questions that don't have yes or no answers.
4. Lean forward and look interested.
5. Don't talk.

How many of these do you do? Really listening means listening for meaning. We all understand words but do we really understand what the other person is feeling. Pay attention to what the other person looks like when they talk. Do they look upset, do they look confused? Ask questions that help the other person talk more.

If you try some of these you might find you learn a lot about the other person. I also encourage people I coach to try conversations where they don't talk at all and just nod. It's amazing what we can learn when we don't talk.

Guy

Yikes! Conflict

Some of us love conflict and some of us run screaming from it. Yet conflict can signal that something very important is happening and that we need to pay attention. Conflict is also a great opportunity to learn about each other and fix things for the better. Try these tips next time you have and issue with your significant other:

1. Name the problem (what is it).
2. Each of you describe how you see the problem.
3. Come up with a few ways to fix the problem.
4. Agree and choose one solution.
5. Get an outside person involved if you can't decide on a solution.

I've found that if two people just sit down and agree to talk (respectfully and without shouting) they can resolve even the most complex problem. It's wonderful to see two people come to an agreement and figure out a way to resolve a nagging issue. It's almost like a weight has been lifted off their back.

Getting Stuck in a Pattern

It's really normal to get stuck in a pattern, even if it's negative. We become accustomed to the pattern to the point where it becomes normal. We take it for granted and just live with it.

For many people the key to getting unstuck is to do something differently. If we have had a certain kind of results in a relationship, doing something different has the inevitable result of changing the situation. But there is one caveat, you have to do it consistently over time until the new behavior takes root.

Try taking some part of your life and consciously doing something differently. Do it over time until it becomes your new "normal." Lather, rinse and repeat. This approach can be applied to any number of issues. Keep it simple and do one at a time.

The Joys of Letting Go

Have you ever kept doing something even though you know it doesn't work? Perhaps you keep enabling a negative behavior in yourself or someone else. This is natural because we tend to be most comfortable with what we know. Next time you find yourself hanging on to this negative thing try something new and let it go.

The act of consciously letting go and moving on helps us heal and think of new perspectives. People who let go of the monkey on their back suddenly find they can walk taller and more comfortably. We can take a breath and see our issues for what they really are; things that we can actually deal with. When we give negative behaviors less importance they have a way of going away.

Try it sometime. Everyone deserves to feel unburdened.
