04/11/22 Upturn The Status Quo!


  


      

        Upturning The

        Status 

        Quo





Hi and thank you for joining me for this week's blog post "Upturning The Status Quo!

So let me begin this post by defining what "Status Quo" really means (and no it is not just the name of a highly successful band!)

The dictionary definition of Status Quo is as follows

"The existing state of affairs, especially regarding social of political issues"  "The way things are now!"

In my role as a Personal Development coach I consider it my duty to challenge my clients' status quo - because if they do not change they will continue to remain exactly where they are!  That equates to my clients and I having exactly the same conversation a year from now! 

Should that happen it would mean that I had been a crap coach!

So that said, let me ask you a question......

"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"

I would hazard a guess that if you had to tell me your answer, a very high percentage would not be able answer the question immediately and there would be a lot of "erms" and "ums"!

You see we have (as a species) become exceedingly lazy, we sit there in our comfy warm house, in our comfy armchair, drinking our favourite tipple, then going to bed and then "we wake up every morning to alarm clock's warning, take the 8.15 into the city" alongside all the other people who are operating on auto-pilot!

So dear reader, I hope that this has proved to be a catalyst and that you take steps to do something that is new, outside of your comfort zone, and who knows? you might actually find that you like it!

I am Dave B and until the next time I will wish you the best things that life can give, have a great day, be safe be careful and above all remember:-

Don't predict the future - CREATE It!

08/09/21 "Casing The Joint!"

Hi everyone it's DAve Thank you for joining me on today's blog post.   Today is Wednesday and I really hope that it is less hectic than yesterday.  After a full day at the office and with Alison confined to bed after a very disturbed night I had to go to Barnstaple after work and collect a replacement fridge, because the other one "bit the dust" Photo: "Three Suns"  ©2021 wytchphotog The photograph featured above almost got me into trouble........ I spotted the reflection of the sun in three different places at the same time and because it was an unusual sight I decided to capture the image - well people thought I was "casing the joint" and they threatened to "call the Police" until I explained what I was doing and showed them the image. Because of the water situation at the caravan we checked with Tina about her impending visit at the weekend and her response was a very definite "of course I am coming to our caravan, why wouldn'...

12/09/21 The Wise Bird….

Hi and welcome to today’s blog page. We are back home after a couple of nights in the caravan.  It has been a lovely weekend but sadly 2 nights are not really long enough.   ©️2021 wytchwynd photography Yesterday after a slow start in the morning we had to do battle with a problematic water system before heading off to Exeter for the afternoon.  That proved to be a tad expensive as I happened to say that I liked a wicker-style patio set that was on Special Offer in The Range.  Oh boy!   Guess who left the shop £140 poorer? On the plus side we had a lovely meal at Toby Carvery, Rydon Lane, Exeter (not a sponsored mention - but always happy to discuss) that was, as always, great value for money in an establishment that is clean, friendly and welcoming. After the meal we took a steady drive back to the caravan. This morning was a little fraught because I was feeling a wee bit tetchy over this on-going water issue but hopefully I will get something resolved this wee...

02/12/22 Making The Tea - an exercise in Strategy

                                         Making The Tea!                                                     (an exercise in Strategy) Hi It's DAve Apologies for my recent absence but family matters took over and I did not have the opportunity to write a blog post last week. Anyway I am now back again and here is this week's offering from the sometimes warped mind of Your's Truly! As a Personal Development Coach I am often asked about Goal Setting so here is my approach to that very subject:- All too often we set goals but very rarely do we create a plan of how we aim to achieve that goal. Having given the matter some thought I have defined a process and that involves "Starting At The End!" Yes, I know that seems mad, but how can you get to where you are g...
