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

• “Do or do not! There is no try..” (Yoda, “The Empire Strikes Back”)
• “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” (John Quincy Adams)
• “If you are going through hell, be sure to keep going.” (Winston Churchill)
• “Teachers open the doors, but you must enter by yourself.” (Chinese Proverb)
• “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” (Henry Ford)

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

• Dan Pink: The puzzle of motivation
• Kelly McGonigal: How to make stress your friend
• Apollo Robbins: The art of misdirection
• Dan Gilbert: The surprising science of happiness
