Construire une vie qui a du sens,

When the plan doesn’t come together, pivot
It is a common misconception that coaching is all about goal-setting. Put more comprehensively: helping clients figure out what they want, getting them to make an action plan with SMART goals, and then providing accountability as they implement that plan, step by step. While that’s not wrong, it’s not the
Is it a great weight or part of the dance?
I have always collected quotations. Since I was quite young, I’ve kept a notebook of witty, uplifting or simply beautifully expressed truths I’ve heard or read; studying English Literature intensified my habit. Now, as a parent, I keep a journal for each of my children, noting down the funny, sweet
Are you juggling with plastic or glass? How to decide what to prioritise and what to let go
If your life were a circus act, what would it be? The ringmaster taming a lion? Knife throwing? Or maybe you sometimes want to trill, “send in the clowns!” Mine would probably be the act where a woman walks across a tightrope while juggling flaming skittles. It is the perfect
Don’t mistake the flowers for weeds: when a source of joy becomes a source of stress
Unseasonably hot weather and a spring resolution to make better use of the garden have resulted in my husband and I enjoying our breakfast in the sunshine a lot of late. We sip our coffee while the kids run about and water the vegetable patch, and for the joy we
Set the bar low to get things done
If you want to make things happen in your life, set the bar low. That’s my advice. While you should definitely define your goals based on the kind of motivational posters that have text-against-sunset images exhorting you to dream big and reach for the stars, when you’re hatching the real-world,
Three remedies for broken resolutions
Be honest. As we enter the second half of January, how many of your new year’s resolutions are still going strong? Reported statistics vary, but according to a recent study by Columbia University, while nearly half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, when January ends, only about 25% are still
You are enough: when it’s time to say no to self-improvement
It may seem at best counter-intuitive and at worst blasphemous for a coach to say this, but lately I’ve been pondering question of whether, at some point, we should say enough is enough when it comes to self-improvement and personal development. I’m surely thinking these subversive thoughts in part because
Stop shoulding on yourself: how to break the habit
Do you ever should on yourself? I sometimes do. It goes something like this. That colleague is getting a new certification. I should do that. That family is going to Lapland for Christmas. We should do that. Maybe I should be using Instagram. Maybe I shouldn’t have left Twitter. That
Six little words: balancing the pursuit of excellence and enjoyment
Before every exam, test, performance or interview I have ever had, my mother said just six words: “Do your best, and enjoy it”. Sounds odd, doesn’t it? No “good luck” or “it’ll be fine”, and I don’t think many parents tell their kids to try to enjoy an exam. But
