What is Your True Intention? (Intention, #9)
I am so honored to have this guest blog from my good friend, Suzi. I love to see and hear how people who are not my clients approach this topic. I learned a lot from this post. I will recap for you at the end. From Suzi: My idea of what Intention is is ever […]
What Are You Meant to Do?
I am taking a break from all the brilliant blog posts from my clients, family, and friends. I recently found a quote in the book The Art of Possibility, Zander, and I wanted to share it with you. This is in the chapter on “Leading from Passion.” It is about how to connect to passion. […]
Taking Ownership and Being Intentional (Intention, #8)
Proving you do not need to hire a coach in order to learn about, and apply, intention, here is a blog post from a client’s husband. What I love about Tim’s description of manifesting his professorship is the way that he became clear on his end goal and then followed up with clear and committed […]
Based on Results, You Have What You Intended (Intention, #7)
I always learn so much when I have other people write my blog posts. I’ve been learning a lot about intention this last few weeks, and now I want to share my own recent experience with intention. This one I call, “Based on Results, You Have What You Intended.” This concept is a great way […]
The Magic that is Intention (Intention, #6)
Intention is a funny thing. When we “set an intention,” we take committed action (as set out in our blog post, Intention #5, http://www.mclarencoaching.com/intention-5/). And the results of a clear intention combined with committed action are remarkable. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. But it is so much more effective than the alternative – not […]
A New View on Leadership
“Today was exceptional in that I learned leadership is not a responsibility–nobody has to lead. It’s a gift, shining silver-that reminds people huddled nearby why each shimmering moment matters. It’s in the eyes, the voice, this swelling song that warms up from the toes and tingles with endless possibilities. Things change when you care enough […]
Lead From Where you Sit (or Stand)
Benjamin Zander on “Leadership”: In the remarkable book, The Art of Possibility, Mr. Zander offers 12 paradigm-shifting tools designed to allow us to learn to see possibility in any situation. One of the tools he calls “leading from any chair.” The metaphor is an orchestra in which there are many “chairs.” Mr. Zander, the conductor […]
An Intention or a Wish? (Intention, #5)
Jennifer’s blog post illustrates the premise that if you are bold enough to set an intention, you will have to truly commit to it. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you “set an intention” and you do not commit to it through action, it is not really an intention. […]
However Long It Takes (Intention, #4)
I’m excited about this week’s guest blogger. This is from one of the most intentional people I know. The person who taught me about intention long before I went to a coach training program. This blog is from my mom, and it speaks to the “never give up” aspect of intention. So many things may […]
It’s Not That Hard (Intention, #3)
Intention is remarkably powerful. So many times, I have had clients tell me they intended something and then they forgot about it and later realized it had manifested in their lives. Visualization plays a strong part in intention. “What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill (Think […]
