Most RT’d quote on our Twitter feed each week:

• “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and out.” (Robert Collier)
• “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” (John Quincy Adams)
• “Never be afraid to try, remember…Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.” (Author Unknown)
• “Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass… It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” (Vivian Greene)

TED Talk’s

Each Tuesday we share a different TED Talk.

You’ll notice that some talks will be obviously directly related to personal development and how you use coaching. On other occasions they will be talks where the topics appear more abstract, they’ll be here to prompt new thoughts by coming at something from a different direction – or just because they struck me as interesting/ funny etc

• Ludwick Marishane: A bath without water
• Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days
• Andy Puddicombe: All it takes is 10 mindful minutes
• Neil Harbisson: I listen to color
