		<title>Life Coaching and Training &#8211; Be careful with justifying &#8220;tough love&#8221; in training and coaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I teach or coach. I love having just enough edge to keep people engaged. But I have discovered that if you go too far you can injure, or drive people away.  As Pat Howlett says, I have made every mistake in the book at least once and sometimes seem to have to repeat it a few times before I learn from it. One time I made a very mild joking comment to a guy in a class I was teaching and then, after the break, noticed he had left. I had a gut sense something was off and called<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/life-coaching-and-training-be-careful-with-justifying-tough-love-in-training-and-coaching/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Caveat: Don&#8217;t Rush into Groupon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might have heard that Groupon recently reached 115 million subscribers according to Arbitron. Is Groupon really the best thing since sliced bread? Groupon paints a rosy, idealized picture. You take no risks, they promote your products, and you get lots of great customers stampeding in your door. Everyone lives happily ever after. This is a fantasy if ever there was one. You know the adage: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don&#8217;t get me wrong; I&#8217;m not saying Groupon is a scam. I am saying, however, that there are real risks. Done incorrectly, a Groupon<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/caveat-dont-rush-into-groupon/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Should My Business Be on Google Plus?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are no black-and-white answers to questions like this, so I&#8217;ll answer this question with a few other questions. What benefit(s) do you see in being there? If you develop a presence on Google+, will you have time to meaningfully contribute on a regular basis? Are your customers or potential customers on Google+? If so, what are they doing there? My honest take: wait. At this point, the future of Google+ is uncertain. They are competing directly with Facebook. Most people on Google+ are also on Facebook, so your time is probably better spent there. I might make an exception<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/should-my-business-be-on-google-plus/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>I Coach People to Be Unreasonable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A conversation with Martin Brossman about the concept of the life and business coach, the importance of discovering your purpose or calling in life, and the urgency of following your dream. To get things rolling, briefly, what is coaching? It’s a tool to gain clarity and results in our business goals or in our personal life and to move forward faster than on our own. Coaching helps us to enjoy both the journey and the arrival. How does coaching differ from therapy? Therapy often deals with the past, resolving painful issues from childhood or youth. Coaching does not address these<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/i-coach-people-to-be-unreasonable/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Putting Yourself Out There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you recently stepped onto a new life path or been drawn to what you feel is your calling? Have you taken on an entrepreneurial venture or made a transition from corporate employment to self-employment?     If you answered yes to any of these, you might be experiencing a condition that is hardly ever discussed and usually completely understood.  It’s something I have discovered in coaching, especially with clients in the process of changing from working for someone else to working for themselves.  This mysterious ‘something’ is an unexpected resistance to putting yourself out there, to really stepping fully into your<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/putting-yourself-out-there/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>A Few Words on Following Your Dreams by Martin Brossman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a personal coach, I continually examine the subject of following your dreams. Often, when we talk about following our dreams, we assume that the path to our dreams is evident. However, for most of us, our dreaming muscle has atrophied. A more appropriate question is, what is required to awaken our ability to dream? What allows us to explore the possibilities in our lives without our critical inner voices suppressing this exploration? Following our dreams is an ongoing and dynamic process, one we can restart at any age. A few of us know exactly what we want, but many<a href="http://www.coachingsupport.com/a-few-words-on-following-your-dreams-by-martin-brossman/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>
