Coaching Quote of the Day 30th July 2013
“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”
(Napoleon Hill)
The most popular quote from our twitter account in week 30 of 2013: 1
Each Monday I share the most RT’d quote(s) from the blogs twitter account over the previous week.
Last week the most RT’d quote was:
“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.”
(Wilson Mizner)
Tweeted on 27th July
The second most RT’d tweet was a tie between:
“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”
(Marianne Williamson)
Tweeted on 22nd July
and
“If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.”
(Jim Rohn)
Tweeted on 20th July
Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
(Mark Twain)
Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 22nd July 2013)
Each Monday on this blogs Facebook page I issue the following question and invitation:
“Have you written/seen a blog post in the past week that you’d think is of interest to coaches and that you’d like to share?”
At the end of each week I will be posting a recap of a selection of the links shared that Monday on our Facebook page.
As normal this week coaches from different parts of the world, with different areas of expertise and specialisms, took the time to share.

Coaching Quote of the Day 28th July 2013 1
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
(H. Jackson Brown, Jr.)
