I was so honouref to join Melissa Landry of In Charge Coaching for a weekend og Choice Theiry Leatning and growing! Congratulations to to all on completion of their basic intensive and to those completing level 2 - basic Practicum!

Could we really get along in a world without coercion? What is coercion anyway? According to Oxford Dictionary: “it is the action of making somebody do something that they do not want to do, using force or threatening to use force.”
How many times a day do you hear the phrase; “how does that make you feel or how did that make you feel? How often do we hear in relationships, “he She made me so mad” ?
Is any of this. True? Elenore D Rosevelt once said: “no one can make you feel inferior without your permission.” I would add that no one can make you anything. It is a choice you have even if you are being coerced.
We often hear: “I didn’t have a choice!” He threatened to “fire me!”. What drives us to believe we don’t have a choice? In today’s world and even the world I grew up in external control is alive and well and relationships are being damaged every day because of it.
Would it be nice to have an alternative to this. I am inviting you to join us at our next Choice Theory program that is way more than just learning a theory. It is full of tools and alternatives to living a happier and more productive life at work, at home and at play. It starts next week so do not wait. Registration closes on Monday September 16.
The course is being offered in Riverview September 18-21 in person or online- your choice. Just send me a private message or see the link in the comment section below.

This class is beginning to fill up. Don't miss out on this weekend course designed with you in mind.

As summer vacations draw to a close and school is back in what are your plans for further growth and development this fall. Whay not get started on your five level certificate training program in Choice Theory, Realty Therapy Communication and Lead Management?

We Have All Been There
People often say to me that I am so calm. They say nothing seems to rattle you. Here’s the thing, there are lots of things that bother me, but I know I can choose how to behave towards what’s happening. It is not always easy, but I have learned that getting upset only hurts me. I feel good inside when I handle a situation. Here is an example:
I have an ongoing mix up with an organization that will remain nameless. Now trying to reach them is like giving up your life for a day and then not sure if you will actually talk with someone. So today, I deliberately set aside this morning to finally reach an agent. They told me the best time to call is at the beginning or end of the day. I waited 15 minutes – not too bad.
I was put on hold three times for 4 minutes but through all that I believe I was getting my message through. Did I feel like upsetting myself and the agent – yes but that would get me nowhere. Finally, by choosing patience I learned something new. Did you know that learning something new satisfies the need for fun? By the time the call was over it was about 1 hr and 5min. I thanked the agent, and I think I got somewhere.
Then not even an hour later, I get another call from another agent. My scales tipped out of balance . I was still trying to get some breakfast. However, I chose patience again. Was I feeling frustrated? Yes, I was but it would not serve me to yell or do any other behavior. By the time I finished the second call, the agent said to me: “Thank-you for being so patient! I responded Your welcome: it is not that it has not be tested! We both laughed. I could tell he really wanted to get this cleared up for me.
It is sad that while waiting a message is saying to please be patient and kind when talking with the agent and that abuse will not be tolerated.
Would you like to learn how to be calm in a given situation, how to choose your responses so you. Feel good after? My mentor/teacher Dr. William Glasser taught me a long time ago that I cannot control what happens to me, but I can control how I respond to it.
When you understand how the mind works and the difference between Internal and external control and the choices you can choose. Life suddenly becomes easier.
