Over the remainder of this year I’ll be recapping what’s been happening here on Coaching Confidence, the coaching blog during 2014.

In previous days we started by looking at the posts that happened in January, February, March, April,  May, June and July so today we move onto:

August

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

”When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

(Lao Tzu)

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

(Mark Twain)

“Whatever you’re thinking, think bigger.”

(Tony Hsieh)

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”

(John Wooden)

“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”

(John C. Maxwell)

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

• Does money make you happy | Kylian Wawoe | TEDxHaarlem
• How to Become an Expert in Vulnerability | Rajiv Nathan | TEDxRushU
• In my chair — a makeup artists perspective on beauty: Eva DeVirgilis at TEDxRVAWomen
• Successful Leaders Build and Sustain Long-term Relationships | Steve Cockram | TEDxABQSalon

Blog posts for coaches from around the web

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.
