Bienvenue à mon infolettre automne 2011.

Après un été fabuleux ayant passé de merveilleux moments à Vancouver et dans le Maine, ayant aussi assuré le mentorat auprès de coachs en plus de travailler sur mon livre, j’anticipe avec joie un automne occupé et un hiver à faire ce que j’aime le plus soit passer du temps ma famille, à travailler, étudier et faire de la recherche sur le coaching afin d’améliorer mes compétences professionnelles.

Merci pour les commentaires que vous m’avez envoyés sur la dernière missive et merci aussi de prendre le temps de faire suivre l’infolettre CoachingMCL à vos collègues, amis et famille.

Bonne lecture.

Welcome to my fall 2011 newsletter.

After a fantastic summer with trips to Vancouver and Maine, mentoring coaches in training and working on my book, I am looking forward to a busy fall and winter season doing what I like best, spending time with my family, coaching, researching and studying to improve my professional skills.

Thank you again for sending your feedback on my last newsletter and if you think people may get value from this letter, please continue passing it on to colleagues, friends and family.

POSITIVE EMOTION. The pleasant life. Happiness and life satisfaction. Pleasure, ecstasy, comfort, warmth. A subjective experience.
ENGAGEMENT: Absorption, loss of self-consciousness, being in the flow.
MEANING. Belonging to and service something bigger than oneself.
ACCOMPLISHMENT. Achievement. Winning.
POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS. “Other people”. Very little that is positive is solitary. All our great joys and pleasures take place with or around other people. Scientist have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise. Find one wholly unexpected kind thing to do tomorrow and just do it. Notice what happens to your mood.

Martin Seligman

“The belief in self-improvement is a prophesy just as self-fulfilling as the old belief that character could not be changed…people who don’t believe change is possible will indeed remain incapable of change. A culture believing in self-improvement will support health-clubs, AA, and psychotherapy. A culture believing that bad action stems from bad character and is permanent won’t even try…What is remarkable is that much of this self-improving ideology is not clap-trap…The self-improving self actually improves itself. You can indeed lose weight, lower your cholesterol, be physically stronger and more attractive, less compulsively time-urgent and reflexively hostile, less pessimistic.”

Learned Optimism, Martin Seligman.

“Un politicien pense à la prochaine élection; un homme (femme) d’état pense à la prochaine génération.”

“A politician thinks of the next election, a statesman of the next generation.”
Montreal Gazette 1-12-11

“…when we provide a climate that permits persons to be–whether they are clients, students, workers, or persons in a group–we are not involved in a chance event. We are tapping into a tendency that permeates all of organic life–a tendency to become all the complexity of which the organism is capable…And perhaps we are touching the cutting edge of our ability to transcend ourselves, to create new and more spiritual directions in human evolution.”
Carl Rogers in A Way Of Being 1980

“Le coach accompagne une personne ou un groupe dans un processus dynamique et créatif de recherche et d’élaboration de ses propres solutions dans le but de lui permettre d’atteindre efficacement ses objectifs. Un coach professionnel a suivi une formation spécifique en coaching et a obtenu une reconnaissance d’un organisme reconnu mondialement.
Les valeurs de respect et de confiance sont au coeur de la pratique du coach pour permettre l’établissement d’un partenariat à part entière. Cette approche engendre la réflexion, les prises de conscience et l’action, tout en favorisant chez le client l’atteinte de résultats durables, l’autonomie et l’épanouissement.
