Personal Development

Personal Development

So after talking with a new coach yesterday she mention to me you come across with such confidence how do you do that?  The truth is my entire life I lacked confidence never felt I met others expectations, always falling short, always trying to please others.  It was exhausting to say the least, so how did I get past it?

Personal growth

Even if you’re not a beach body coach but you’re looking to live a better life where you can offer more to others these would be a few of my top picks that I will share with you.  Also I will share with you up until last year at this time I can honestly say I never read a book from cover to cover, why because I hated reading and did not see a purpose in doing so.  I think a lot of it has to do with what your reading and if you enjoy reading.  As a coach personal development is one of the three vital behaviors and can sometimes be over looked by many.  If time is an issue invests in audio books and listen to your way to work.  I tend to like marking up my pages and having a place to refer back to.

As a new coach you see other top coaches and wonder how they got there??  Right?  I strongly suggest that new coaches read the The Compound Effect by- Darren Hardy

This easy-to-use, step-by-step operating system allows you to multiply your success, chart your progress, and achieve any desire.

Overview of the book

 

Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal – and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose.
