    The 5 ingredients of happiness

    Over the last couple of decades, a few different happiness theories have emerged from the science of positive psychology. The good news is that we are starting to have a long list of scientifically proven, practical strategies to increase happiness. The bad news is that there is still a bit of a mess with regard to pin-pointing the best theoretical model to explain the underlying bigger concepts of these strategies, how many there are, which ones are most important and how th

    The 7 skills required to coach yourself

    Self-coaching is the process of identifying the reason for a misfit between hopes/ intention and outcome, as well as solutions. It’s really the same as coaching, except that you take on the role of both the coachee and the coach. If you have a goal or problem, you can guide yourself through the steps of the GROW model (or any other model you may be more familiar or comfortable with) by asking yourself the corresponding questions. Self-coaching is all about opening one’s own m

    The power of coaching to accelerate the self-leadership journey

    I love coaching. Put simply, coaching is the process of supporting someone’s development in a direction determined by the coachee (i.e. the person being coached) and through methods of active listening, providing feedback and asking questions. Coaching is based on the philosophy that every problem comes with a solution; and, that the best solution for a coachee’s problem is inherent to the coachee themselves rather than the coach. The coach merely provides a guiding framework

    7 lifestyle habits that will maximise your self-leadership potential

    “Health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing.” This famous quote by Arthur Schopenhauer has been in the back of my mind since my dad wrote it into my autograph book when I was about 8 years old. At the time, I resented it because it was so mature and reasonable and didn’t sound very fun to me. But it ultimately led me to study Psychology to understand what let’s people flourish in life. And the foundation of that is health – of our body and our mind. If

    The 5 aspects of motivation you should understand before getting frustrated with it

    ‘I just don’t feel like it today.’ ‘It was great to begin with, but I lost my mojo after a while.’ ‘I could do it all day long.’ I’m sure you have your way of expressing when you feel motivated or couldn’t be bothered. Everyone always talks about how motivated they are to do something or not. Wouldn’t it be nice, if we could just set a goal and go for it, without ever having to deal with temptations or losing the excitement we had for it in the beginning? To many, motivation

    Happiness: Skill or circumstance?

    Happiness is a big word. What does happiness mean to you? Would you describe it as a feeling? Or as the moment you achieve a certain goal, such as financial freedom? When was a time you were really happy? And what can you do to increase your happiness? I am yet to meet a person who is not similarly intrigued and confused by the topic. Possibly because at the end of the day we all long to be happy. What you hope to achieve in your life, whether big life goals or smaller steppi
