The most popular quote from our twitter account from week 11 of 2014:

Most RT'd quotes last week on @thecoachingblog

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:

“Never be afraid to try, remember…Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.”

The next most RT quote was :

“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

(J.K. Rowling)

thank you

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.

Which quote do you prefer?

(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)


Blog posts for coaches from around the web – 16th March 2014

share your posts

Welcome to this weeks recap of blog posts for coaches from around the web.

Each Monday on this blogs Facebook page I usually 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?”

You’ll notice that the recap today is broken down into two lists – one of posts shared via our Facebook page from the Monday invite and one of other posts from around the web.

Posts shared last week on our Facebook page:

  • “What is self-esteem” by Serena Pyke
  • “11 STATEMENTS PLAYERS RARELY OR NEVER MAKE TO THEIR COACHES:” by sports leadership coach DeAngelo Wiser
  • “To plan or not to plan” by Dr. Jean Davidson

These are a few posts that also attracted my attention either personally or because of readers requests to read more on a particular subject…

Other posts for coaches from around the web:

  • “What Can You Gain By Incorporating Character and Presence Into Your Work?” by Daryl Conner
  • “The 5 Assumptions That Will Sabotage Your Client Work” by Emily Cohen

Want your post included next week? If you have a post that you think will be of interest to coaches do take part in tomorrow’s Monday invite and leave the details on our Facebook page. Whilst it’s lovely for posts to be sent to me via twitter, the nature of a tweet means that it can easily be overlooked when this post is being compiled at a later time. Please leave links in one place, ie the thread on our Facebook page so they can be easily shared.
