Asking questions can help the coach to understand the client’s progress, challenges, and needs, and to provide appropriate guidance, support, and resources to help them reach their goals.

Weekly reflection is important because it allows individuals to take a step back and assess their progress and accomplishments over the past week. This can help them identify areas where they have been successful and areas where they need to improve. Reflecting on one’s past performance can also help individuals set goals for the coming week and develop a plan to achieve them.

1. 1. 1. What did you accomplish this week towards your goals?
      2. What obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?
      3. What are your priorities for next week?
      4. What support or resources do you need to achieve your goals?
      5. What did you learn this week?
      6. What did you enjoy most this week?
      7. What did you find challenging this week?
      8. How are you feeling about your progress?
      9. How are you feeling about your business/career overall?
      10. What are your current stressors or concerns?
      11. What are your current wins or successes?
      12. What are you currently working on?
      13. Are you on track to achieve your goals?
      14. What do you need to improve on?
      15. Are there any areas where you are stuck?
      16. What is your next step?
      17. What are your current priorities?
      18. Are you getting the support you need?
      19. What are you most excited about?
      20. What are you most worried about?

Coaching questions can be a helpful tool for guiding the reflection process. These are open-ended questions that are designed to help individuals explore their thoughts and feelings about a particular topic. Some examples of coaching questions include: “What did you learn this week?”, “What did you do well?”, “What would you do differently next time?”, and “What are you proud of?”. These questions can help individuals gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors, and can also help them identify areas for improvement.

Losing a job can certainly be considered a difficult and traumatic event, and building resilience can be especially important for those who have been laid off. Life after a layoff can be challenging, but with resilience, individuals can find ways to move forward and even thrive.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.  – William James, an American philosopher and psychologist

There is a strong link between a person’s state of mind and their productivity. A positive state of mind, characterized by feelings of happiness, enthusiasm, and motivation, can lead to increased productivity, creativity, and better decision-making. On the other hand, a negative state of mind, characterized by feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, can lead to decreased productivity, a lack of motivation, and difficulty with decision-making. Factors such as sleep, physical exercise, and a healthy diet can all contribute to a positive state of mind, which in turn can lead to increased productivity. In contrast, factors such as prolonged stress, poor sleep, and poor nutrition can all contribute to a negative state of mind and decreased productivity.

Coach Greg is a registered Three Principles practitioner who shares the Three Principles understanding, which teaches that a person’s state of mind is shaped by their understanding of three universal principles: Mind, Consciousness and Thought. According to Coach Greg, these principles underlie all human experience, and by understanding them, a person can gain insight into their own thoughts and emotions and improve their state of mind.

The principle of Mind is the understanding that a person’s mind and body are interconnected, and that the mind influences the body, and vice versa. This principle suggests that when a person’s mind is healthy and positive, their body will also be healthy and positive, and when the mind is unhealthy and negative, the body will be too.

The principle of Consciousness is the understanding that a person’s thoughts and emotions come from their own consciousness, and that they have the power to control them. This principle suggests that when a person is aware of their thoughts and emotions and can control them, they will have a positive state of mind and when person is unaware of their thoughts and emotions, or can’t control them, they will have a negative state of mind.

The principle of Thought is the understanding that thoughts and emotions are temporary mental events, and that they come and go like waves. This principle suggests that when a person can observe their thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them, they will be able to maintain a positive state of mind and when a person gets caught up in their thoughts and emotions, they will have a negative state of mind.

So, By understanding these three principles, a person can gain insight into their own thoughts and emotions and begin to take control of them. They can learn to recognize the connections between their mind and body, to become aware of their thoughts and emotions and to observe them without getting caught up in them. This can help them to achieve a positive state of mind and improve their productivity.

A three principles practitioner helps an individual understand the 3 principles and experience a more positive state of mind by:

A practitioner of the Three Principles understanding typically helps an individual understand the principles by first explaining the concepts, and then guiding the person through exercises and discussions designed to help them gain insight into their own thoughts and emotions.

The practitioner will first explain the principle of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, and how they underlie all human experience. They will then help the individual to observe their own thoughts and emotions and to recognize the connections between their mind and body. This might involve exercises such as mindfulness meditation or journaling.

Next, the practitioner will help the individual to become aware of their thoughts and emotions and to understand how they are created by their own consciousness. This might involve exercises such as visualization or self-reflection.

Finally, the practitioner will help the individual to observe their thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. This might involve exercises such as detachment and self-observation.

Throughout the process, the practitioner will use a supportive and non-judgmental approach and will encourage the individual to discuss their experiences, insights, and understanding of the principles.

The goal of the practitioner is to help the individual to understand the Three Principles, and how they shape their own thoughts, emotions and the experience of the reality. By understanding these principles, the individual can begin to take control of their thoughts and emotions and to develop a positive state of mind.

By practicing these principles and gaining insights, the individual can experience less stress, greater emotional stability, and increased productivity, which can lead to a more positive state of mind.

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer

There is no denying that success can bring with it a certain level of recognition, financial stability, and the opportunity to achieve personal and professional goals. However, the pursuit of success can often be all-consuming and ultimately lead to disappointment.

One of the reasons that focusing on freedom may be a better goal than success is that freedom allows for flexibility and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. When we are too focused on achieving a certain level of success, we may become inflexible and resistant to change, which can ultimately hold us back.

In contrast, valuing freedom allows us to make choices that align with our values and priorities, rather than being driven by the need to achieve external measures of success. This can bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose that success alone may not provide.

Furthermore, success is often fleeting and can be temporary. We may achieve a certain level of success, only to have it taken away due to circumstances beyond our control. In contrast, freedom is an internal state that cannot be taken away, no matter what happens externally.

One example of this is the story of former NFL player, Chris Kluwe. Kluwe achieved a level of success as a professional football player, but eventually found that the inflexibility and high-pressure environment of professional sports left him feeling unfulfilled. He has since found greater personal freedom and fulfillment through his writing and activism.

In conclusion, while success can bring certain rewards, it is often temporary and can lead to inflexibility and disappointment. Focusing on freedom, on the other hand, allows for greater flexibility, fulfillment, and the ability to live life on our own terms.

Here is an exercise that can help you define success for yourself:

1. 1. Take some time to reflect on your values, beliefs, and goals. What matters most to you in life? What do you want to accomplish or experience?
   2. Write down your thoughts on a piece of paper or in a journal. Try to be as specific as possible and include both short-term and long-term goals.
   3. Consider your past experiences and accomplishments. What have you achieved that you are proud of? What did you learn from these experiences?
   4. Reflect on your strengths and weaknesses. What are you naturally good at and what do you struggle with? How can you use your strengths to achieve your goals and improve upon your weaknesses?
   5. Based on your values, goals, and experiences, define success for yourself. What does success mean to you? What does it look like?
   6. Write down your definition of success and refer back to it regularly. Use it as a guide to help you make decisions and pursue your goals.
   7. Don’t be afraid to revisit and revise your definition of success as you grow and change. Remember that success is a personal and subjective concept, and it is okay to redefine it as your priorities and goals evolve.

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer

Success is often thought of as a tangible achievement or outcome, such as earning a high salary, climbing the corporate ladder, or winning a championship. However, the true meaning of success should be personal and unique to each individual. Defining success for oneself means taking the time to reflect on one’s values, goals, and aspirations, and determining what truly matters and brings fulfillment.

Living up to the expectations of others or social conditioning can often lead to feelings of inadequacy or discontent. Society often places certain expectations on us, whether it be to follow a certain career path, achieve certain milestones, or fit into certain stereotypes. When we try to live up to these expectations, we may neglect our own desires and end up on a path that does not align with our true selves.

There is a saying that “there is no losing, only winning or learning.” This means that every experience, whether it is perceived as a success or a failure, can provide valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. When we define success for ourselves, we can shift our focus from external validation to personal development and growth. This allows us to embrace challenges and failures as opportunities to learn and improve, rather than viewing them as failures.

Not taking the time to define success for oneself can have serious implications on one’s overall well-being and happiness. When we are not living according to our own values and goals, we may feel disconnected or unfulfilled. Symptoms of not living one’s life based on their own definition of success can include feelings of anxiety, depression, and a lack of purpose or direction.

Authenticity is a principle that involves being true to oneself and living in alignment with one’s values and beliefs. When we are authentic, we are more likely to feel fulfilled and satisfied with our lives. On the other hand, when we try to be someone we are not, or live according to the expectations of others, we may feel inauthentic and disconnected from ourselves.

In conclusion, defining success for oneself is crucial for leading a fulfilling and authentic life. It allows us to pursue our passions and goals, rather than trying to live up to the expectations of others. By embracing the idea that there is only winning and learning, and not losing, we can approach challenges with a growth mindset and use them as opportunities to learn and improve. By living according to our own definition of success and being authentic, we can achieve a sense of purpose and happiness.
