Over the remainder of this year I’ll be recapping what’s been happening here on Coaching Confidence, the coaching blog during 2013.

Today we start by looking at the posts that happened right at the start of the year.

“Charging What You’re Worth” by Christa Lynn Colletti

In the next guest post coach Christa Lynn Colletti looks at a topic many coaches, especially when starting out, struggle with: Charging what you’re worth.

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

• “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” (Pericles)
• “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” (Dale Carnegie)
• “Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.” (Frank Tyger)
• “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” (Albert Einstein)
• “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” (George Bernard Shaw)
• “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” (Jim Rohn)

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

• “John Wooden: the difference between winning and succeeding”
• “Melissa Marshall: Talk nerdy to me”
• “Dyan deNapoli: The great penguin rescue”
• “Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow, the secret to happiness”
