What’s Your ‘Aha Moment?’

By //  by 

I love those moments when the light goes on.‘Aha’ moments as I call them. I had a client last week who had a blinding insight. I love it when that happens because it represents new clarity and the beginning of their new improved future. Seeing them go on to make it happen is the golden icing on the insight cake.

I remember well the first time I spoke with this client. They said “I’ve got a business idea in me” and in our session out it popped, like a newborn baby, which is soooo exciting. Often people are so close to themselves that they can’t see insights, or they have such busy lives , they don’t have the time and space to notice them, make sense of them and work out what to do with them.

I am a bit like a midwife of people’s insights, future careers, hopes and dreams. Love it!   Often people have intuitions and instincts about what they want but allow others, or themselves, through their fears or agendas, to sabotage them. People are really creative at stopping themselves from doing what they want!

Are You A Bit Of A Dragon?

By //  by 

No I am not talking the gatekeeper to management. Do you have the characteristics of an entrepreneur? Research by Adrian Furnham, Professor of psychology at University College London shows some interesting things about dragons. They are not motivated by money, but more by success, high quality, helping others and creating something of lasting value.

They are good at dealing with failure and picking themselves up. They take the long term rather than short term view, are self-confident, have expertise, are proactive and create their own luck and opportunities. They question the status quo, keep an eye on efficiency and monitor and evaluate success.  They are committed to others and show integrity and reliability, take calculated risks and are comfortable with uncertainty.

Sounds like a good attitude to have and way to be, and better than mediocrity and complacency, plus good people to shake up some companies. Are you an entrepreneur?  Could you be? Download our free 30 page ‘Pain free career change’ report and see if the grass could be greener. Click on this link:
