Each Thursday 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:
“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.”
(Stephen Covey)
Tweeted on 5th January
The quote with the next highest amount of RT’s was:
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
(Wayne Dyer)
Tweeted on 10th January
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)
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”
(Albert Schweitzer)

How do posts appear on this list?
The list is created using two different sources:
Source One
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?”
Many of the posts shared on Facebook will then appear on this list.
Source Two
I personally add posts that have attracted my eye for one reason or another. Sometimes this will be because it fits with a request from a reader about what the want to read more about. Sometimes it’s a post that covers a topic I know from working with clients that coaches will find valuable and/or interesting. Then there are also the posts that just really resonate with me personally.
Whilst to some extent I’m reliant on what’s written each week and what I see, I attempt to provide a mix in this list of different approaches. Some of the posts deal with logistics and answering “how to” style questions, some will be coaches sharing their own experiences and approaches and some posts will fall more in a spiritual category.
I’ll guess that because of the broad spectrum of the list they’ll be some posts you love and others that really don’t appeal to you. My suggestion is to read the posts you’re drawn towards – it’s here to inform, entertain and provide value not to create lots of thought about which you do and don’t like. 🙂
So let’s start this week’s list ….
A few posts also attracted my attention either personally or because of readers requests to read more on a particular subject…
Want your post included next week? If you have a post that you think will be of interest to coaches do take part in today’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.
