Today's headline: Managing the Critical Voices Inside Your Head by Peter Bregman
In The Coaching Training Institute we use the word "saboteurs" for dissonant thoughts that are trying to limit our mind frame.. In the beginning of a coaching relationship we take the time with the clients to explore them together.
It's very helpful and beneficent for them to engage afterwards when they appear during their process..
This is actually an interesting paper of how you can work efficiently against "saboteurs" in order to improve your competences.
It's all about being tuned with your inner self, choices and being reactive to those energies coming through your mind..
It's also a statement that you can’t control how people respond to you, but you can control how you take them in and how you respond to them.
What about YOU?
How do you engage in leadership in this context?
How flexible are you?
I look forward to read how you experiment and react with your own saboteurs, and will join you in the comments section of this post.
Enjoy!

Fulfilment of the day: Find below a beautiful example of the ceramic journey (the creation of kairos, la galerie de bols)
of a fulfilled woman named manon clouzeau.
C’est émue et pleine de joie que je vous annonce l’ouverture de Kairos, un espace de 56m2 au coeur d’une maison de pierre.
Mon histoire a commencé il a treize ans lorsque j’ai effectué un stage en compagnie de Brigitte Larcher. Durant une semaine, j’ai appris les premiers gestes de potière, j’ai découvert le plaisir de toucher, la volonté de créer et le droit de rêver.
J’ai aimé cet espace, un temps de vie s’est ouvert en moi. Je me souviens de la lumière qui touchait l’argile fraiche… Pendant cinq ans, entre Paris, Bruxelles et Genève, j’ai étudié les Arts. Par la suite, j’ai ouvert mon premier atelier en lisière de la foret de Fontainebleau.
Il y a deux ans, j’ai appris que Brigitte Larcher souhaitait quitter sont atelier et qu’elle cherchait une relève. Quelques mois plus tard, je décide alors de m’installer en ce lieu qui m’a tant influencé. Désormais, j’y vis, y travaille et j’ouvre demain Kairos.
La céramique est un art de l’instant, du geste et du ressenti. Avec sensibilité et ténacité je travaille pour que savoir-faire et ma créativité prennent vie et puissent s’inscrire dans nos quotidiens.
La curiosité m’habite, la passion me guide. Je suis à l’écoute du coeur au service de la beauté. J’exprime. Mes intentions s’imprègnent dans la terre. Je suis une chercheuse de couleurs, d’âmes et de vies. La matière glisse entre mes doigts et me nourrit.
J’aurais plaisir à vous accueillir à Kairos, la Galerie des bols pour vous présenter mon travail, échanger sur vos émotion à la découvertes de la couleur et de la matière.
Avec simplicité et joie, manon

Today's headline: Can meditation reduce suffering..
Meditation has been very precious during preparation of big projects, coaching people, competitions, examinations, pain and much more.
If you succeed in being mindful with yourself, it can reduce the suffering or even make it disappear.
Zazen (zen meditation) is at the core of Japanese martial arts.
An everyday life equivalent is mindfulness.
It brings you peace and space in your thoughts during you daily activities.
Nice, however it's not that easy..
Before, my mind could be devastated by an overflow of thoughts.
One wave right after the other!
Now, step by step, I manage their visits.
I observe those thoughts further, I try not to judge them or even catch them..
Some day it works and sometimes you don't succeed.
If it doesn't work today then it's fine.
Tomorrow will be a new day.
Just be gentle with yourself.
This tool is very precious when encountering a lot of pain.
The pain doesn't disappear however it can soothe your suffering.
Depending of your attitude during the meditations you will be capable of making it disappear.
It is and remains a challenge for myself.
It's a fantastic challenge that I use with my coachees.
And you? Any challenge?
Warmly,
Arsenia
