By centering our lives on correct principles and creating a balanced focus between doing and increasing our ability to do, we become empowered in the task of creating effective, useful and peaceful lives…for ourselves, and for our posterity.

Stephen R. Covey,
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

Coaching 'YOU' Step by Step

Dear Readers,

At InsideOutYou we believe that to be truly effective in life we need to strike a balance between ‘being’ and ‘doing’. It is also through ‘being’ that we can, as Steven Covey writes, center our lives on and live by correct principles which enable us to choose actions that ensure what we do is truly effective.

‘Being’ means to take time to reflect, to be sure we pace ourselves realistically, to ensure we are balanced in our 4 dimensions, physically, intellectually, emotionally and relationally. It is this balance that is the root of Personal and Professional Effectiveness. Achieving this balance inside you leads to experiencing it outside of you too, in all your activities and relationships.

Achieving Personal and Professional Effectiveness does not happen overnight, there is no quick fix! It is a journey and the first step is to start to get to know your 4 dimensions on a deep level and become aware of how they influence you and your life, consciously and unconsciously.

You can start today by simply taking a few quiet minutes to check in with how your are feeling. Ask yourself:

I find that starting my day like this switches off my automatic pilot mode and gives me the opportunity to make choices about my daily actions based on my feelings not only my thoughts, beliefs and assumptions. Making choices is empowering and increases effectiveness.

Make a conscious decision to spend some time every morning ‘being’ to increase your effectiveness.
