Coaching Quote of the Day 26th November 2013
“It’s hard to do a really good job on anything you don’t think about in the shower.”
(Paul Graham)
The most popular quote from our twitter account in week 47 of 2013:
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 tweet was:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” (Mark Twain)
Tweeted on 19th November
There was actually a thre-way tie for the next most RT’d tweet between:
“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”
(An African proverb)
Tweeted on 24th November
and
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail better.”
(Samuel Beckett)
Tweeted on 20th November
and
“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
(Louisa May Alcott)
Tweeted on 18th November
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)
Coaching Quote of the Day 25th November 2013

Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 18th November 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. This week was a quieter week but one which saw new faces share their work.
