Kubo Life Coaching

Ever intended to do something you really wanted… but couldn’t decide and ended up doing nothing? That was me.

What if coaching felt more like a small diner? Simple. Welcoming. Built on trust and conversation.

A reflection on finding my voice in the coaching world.

Remember getting papers back covered in red marks?

One professor changed everything by “marking up” instead of marking down—highlighting what worked rather than what was wrong.

40 years later, I still remember his two words: “Well done.”

That simple shift shaped how I coach today.

Casual mutual coaching.

Always good to catch up with friend and fellow coach. Coffee, conversation, and space to slow things down.

Shout out to Quakers Hill Toastmasters Club!
This is a very warm and welcoming group with competent presenters and speakers. After many years away from Toastmasters I decided to visit this one since it was close by. They were not hesitant to choose visitors as well as current members for the table topics (impromptu speech section).
I’ll definitely visit again 🙂🤙🏼

Tribute to a good friend I never met in person-- Scott Adams.
I was an avid newspaper reader back in the day, always finishing with comics, and immediately became a Dilbert fan. I set my browser home to Dilbert when the internet arrived. Then in 2018 found he did a daily podcast and started "simultaneous sipping" from then. I enjoyed his humour--of course--and that he tried to see things from different perspectives via his, "Persuasion Filter". In brief, here's a short list of some key concepts I gleaned from Scott. Look them up for your own personal growth:
- 2 Movies on one screen (ppl look at the same video yet have totally different interpretations on what they saw); - Cognitive Dissonance; - All data/statistics/photos/video lie, because of how they are presented; - Systems are better than goals.; - Opinions are assigned to us (e.g., some media called Scott a racist which assigned people that false opinion).

Scott says he did not intend to create a friendship community, but to his own wonderment, he did! I think this gave him more time with us had he not done his daily podcast, because he showed up for us until the day of his passing. I'm grateful to be one who benefited for these many years. Sadly, my mornings will be emptier, but I will pay-forward what he taught me.

Coach Kubo signed up for his first ever gym membership! 😬

Reframes to avoid Babylonbee satirical reality:
- Decisions over Good intentions.
- Direction (strengthen self for last third of life) over Goals.
- Incremental “Kaizen” improvements over Quick results.
- Lifestyle over Resolutions

You have permission to ask how it’s going next month 😅🤙🏼

Christmas blessings to you 🥳
