PCP 04: Lisa Rabinowitz – Where You Need To Be

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Eugenia Zelaya

In this episode, I’m coaching marital counsellor Lisa Rabinowitz. Lisa dreamed of working with couples ever since she was a child, and loves helping clients reconnect to their innate wisdom and peace of mind. And one of the interesting things about Lisa is that she holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from East Carolina University. And one of the other interesting things about Lisa is that I did a 15-minute laser-coaching session with her the other day, so this session was our second conversation.

“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.”
– Robin Sharma

A few months ago, #TeamClarity member Dawn Hines approached me during an event and asked me a question:

“Are you going to do a coaching demo today?”

She explained that she’d noticed how the students in our group seemed to ‘light up’ when I coach a client at the front of the room, and ‘unpack’ what I’m doing for them. Read More →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This one comes from Lynne Twist, and I was reflecting on it as I recorded one of the learning modules for Project Jupiter this week. We’re in week 5 of the Beta version of Jupiter, and it’s really going well. Here’s the quote:

“When you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t really need, it frees up oceans of energy to make a difference with what you have.” Read More →

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it,
move with it, and join the dance.”
– Alan Watts

Tumbleweeds.

We’ve all experienced that moment.

You know the one I mean. The moment when someone asks what you do.

And you start to explain, and they start glazing over. And you start feeling awkward, so you explain a little harder. And then you see the tumbleweeds rolling behind their eyes.

Or they look at you with that puzzled expression. Like you’re showing a dog a card trick.

So what’s the problem? Read More →

TTE 116 – Rugby, Symphonies and Teddy Bears

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I was listening to the Very Bad Wizards podcast when they were interviewing Sam Harris, and he made a very clear point about why dogma is so dangerous. Here’s what he said:

“Dogma is, by definition, unresponsive to new arguments and new evidence. And therefore you can’t correct course; if you’re being guided by a dogma, you’re not flexible. You know, when reality tells you you’re wrong, you either don’t notice, or pretend not to notice or insist on moving forward, and then you bump into hard objects. And that’s what happens with any dogma.” Read More →

PCP 03: Jack Austin – Becoming Real

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Eugenia Zelaya

In this episode, I coach Jack Austin, a purpose-driven business consultant. Jack already has a big impact with his clients, but he wants to be able to connect with new clients more easily. When we started the call, he told me that he sometimes feels uncomfortable in social or ‘networking’ contexts, and believes he needs to get better at that. As we dive into it, we discover that what’s been getting in the way is an extremely common fear; something that countless coaches and transformation professionals share. This was a really touching and moving session for both Jack and me, so I look forward to hearing how it lands for you.

“Courage can’t be faked. It emerges when you do the thing you’re scared to do.”
– Anonymous

If I had to suggest one thing that could transform your life, your impact and your fortunes faster than anything else, it’s this:

Take action before you feel ready to. Here’s an example…

TTE 115 – Hope, Heroes and Holacracy

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
When I read this passage in an interview with the Dalai Lama, my heart leapt. It looks to me like the principles behind clarity deliver on what he intuitively senses here:

“My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.” Read More →
