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 […]
Intend Your Way of Being (Intention, #2)
Last week, I republished an intention blog that I wrote about a year ago. (http://www.mclarencoaching.com/intention-the-real-game-changer/) Since then, it has become increasingly apparent to me how valuable intentionality is to my clients, to my friends and to myself. It is a very effective concept that is rarely used but when implemented can change everything. And I am learning […]
On Leadership and Possibility
On Leadership “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams We are all leaders. We may not always show up as leaders, but the potential is there, in every one of us. We may lead in our professions. If we […]
