Great Communication Tool

Today’s Inspiration

Sometimes it is difficult to say what you really want to say to someone when you know you want to set a particular boundary whilst keeping your relationships in a place of love, respect and dignity. There is a great communication tool I use called ‘CRC’. Commend~Recommend~Commend. We all love being acknowledged at the same time as knowing exactly where we stand.

Coaching Tip

More about CRC and how it works. Let’s say you want to let a colleague know that you do not appreciate them being late all the time.

How you frame it using the CRC method is to firstly Commend them on who they are to you inside your relationship and what you most value in them i.e. “I really value the work you are doing which is moving this project along”.

Then you come in with the Recommend i.e. “I have noticed you are late on occasions and I was wondering if there is a problem your end with our scheduling”. Then wait and listen to hear what they have to say…with you following on with an assertive (yet neutral tone) something like…”maybe we can schedule our meeting at a more appropriate time so that it suits both of us, as my preference is that we start at the time we set”.

Then follow on with the Commend i.e. “Once again (use their name), I wanted to let you know how much your valuable input is making a difference to this project”.

The CRC method works in all walks of life as a great communication tool. Give it a try!

Design your Life & Business Success

Your Blueprint For Success

Today’s Inspiration

Planning is the key to life and business success based on what is most important to you. Take away the struggle and reactive way of life by having a flexible plan that is a blueprint for your valued life and business success.

Coaching Tip

Have you ever wondered why you spend time planning your weekend or holidays, yet you do not spend time planning your life and business for success? Life moves in the direction that you plan most for. Then by taking inspired daily actions and practicing new habits, you will know that your routine supports your bigger picture and ‘valued way of life’. If you intently look into what you most desire in your life, you will then naturally begin to focus your mind and concentrate your energy upon having it be achieved as a natural part of your life.

Design your Life & Business Success = Your Life Style + Your Business Style + Your Self Style

Developing Self-Assurance for Continued Life Success

Today’s Inspiration

Become aware of your self-talk and begin to catch if what you are telling yourself is supporting you in
this very moment or is it sabotaging your success. What you continually tell yourself will dictate your
actions (both positive and negative) and ultimately giving you the same results in life. So choose wisely and become the CEO of your mind and your life today developing self-assurance for continued success.

Coaching Tip

Never underestimate the power of positive self-talk with the utilisation of daily affirmations. This is what changed my life for the better many years ago; even when I felt I did not believe it. I felt silly saying positive things to myself when my habitual thinking about life was negative with my life being ‘stuck in a rut’ because of my way of thinking. Many of my clients have started listening to their inner self talk and their feedback has been amazing telling me that it has allowed them to feel and act with more self-assurance and confidence. It is changing their lives in so many positive ways. Begin to notice your own self-talk today and become your own best friend.

Authenticity is the Key to Life Success

Today’s Inspiration

How often do you find yourself wondering what others may be thinking of you? This is pretty draining
at times isn’t it! To live your life fully, means being authentic with yourself and having the courage to
be real with others. In others words ‘just be your true self’ and life becomes much easier with total
peace of mind and fulfilment.

Coaching Tip

I love the saying by Dr. Seus….”Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” Take on the practice of never leaving a conversation without making sure you are clear. What this means is to make sure you say what you need to say so that you never feel like you are holding onto unfinished business. You will always have this nagging feeling in the back of your mind which will affect your body and other areas of your energy flow in life.

Practice saying what you need to say by being open and real, especially with the closest people in your life. Remember to always speak coming from your commitment to the relationship with love, respect and dignity.

*Heart to Heart* for Effective Communication

Today’s Inspiration

Your relationships in life will be much more harmonious, with you always being heard (and gotten), when you use ‘Heart to Heart’ communications. This is when you commit to speaking from your heart into another person’s heart maintaining a neutral tone of voice coming from love and respect for yourself and the other person. Stay in your heart and create deeper and fulfilling relationships today.

Coaching Tip

Practice today communicating from your heart focussing on a win/win outcome. Remember, the most effective way to create harmony and change is to stay calm in your tone of voice, breath, and speak from your heart – not your head. When you get uptight, just know that you are going into your head and that is your indication to bite your tongue, breath (this will give you the space to go into your heart), then speak calmly and assertively. When communicating ‘Head to Head’, it is easy to blurt out something that you can never take back. By the way when you say something hurtful to someone, did you know that you hurt yourself first!

Yes, it takes practice if you are someone like I was always coming from a defensive and reactive attitude. Be patient with yourself and others.

Behind the Scenes to Greater Success

Today’s Inspiration

When you take full responsibility in the areas of your life that are important to you by treating yourself and others with nurturing love and self-respect; you will live a life filled with better relationships, have a purposeful and profitable business, great health and fitness and natural self confidence.

Coaching Tip

Do you treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. This was a biggee for me as I was always looking outside of myself to be treated better in so many ways. It was only until I took responsibility and got honest with myself about how I was treating myself – body – mind – soul; others then began to treat me in similar ways. Get really honest with yourself today and begin to treat yourself with love and respect in all ways. This also goes for the way you speak to yourself when challenges occur – notice this one!

Yes, you are good enough in every way to achieve whatever your lifestyle and business vision success is.

More about Positive Self-Statements

Much of your communication to yourself is through self-statements. These self-statements, which form part of the stream of your inner dialogue, determine how you will act out your future. The quality of your self-statements is that they either empower, or they limit you.

Words are the basis of all your self-statements. In your mind you link words to images that will be associated with past experiences, whether positive or negative. Words trigger off powerful associative images, especially if they are backed up by strong emotive feelings. Say to yourself, “I will never be successful”. Now say that again, with real emotion, and it becomes a powerful directive that will program your subconscious mind to create a limited behavioural pattern.

There is no way you can feel inclined to ‘be successful’ when you are making this kind of limiting self-statement. As your subconscious does not have the capacity to discern whether you mean what you say or not, it acts out ‘to not be successful’ as an action. Your subconscious mind is literally programmed by your inner communication. How you communicate with yourself determines your outcome.

You can see how imperative it is that you become aware of the statements you make to yourself. As you move through your day, pay attention to the way in which you talk to yourself, and to your choice of words. Remember – everything you tell yourself is acted upon, because your subconscious mind is unable to discriminate.

Self-affirmations send positive messages to your mind. When you are frustrated because you feel you are not achieving or moving forward in your life, or you find it hard to view yourself differently, or you are not losing the weight you are working hard at losing, or your finances are not improving – then improve your potentiality through affirmative self-statements! You can support your intention to achieve your goals by becoming aware of the limiting self-statements you make. The next step is to replace them with positive self-affirmations and take the necessary actions to close the gap each day.
