Change Does Not Take Place by Trying

Real change, permanent change that gives you momentum does not take place by trying.

You must do. And do again and again, and be able to acknowledge your change as progress. We don't change by denying what we are, we change by acknowledging what we are. Because real change happens when we can do, be or create the progress we want and keep it going. The ability to keep it going comes from that part of us that knows the "how", - how we acknowledge ourselves and acknowledge our change for progress. The "I am", "I will", "I must" and "I can do it" incantations.  read more »

Faith and Patience, and the knowing that both start at home where our story begins.

Coach John Wooden said it best “Perform at your best when you best is required. Your best is required each day.” Yes folks, that’s on and off the court or on or off the golf course.

What do Awareness and Authenticity and Putting Ethics Into Action have in common? A lot.

We have all encountered employees, co –workers, team members and leaders who seem barely real, let alone conscionable to their actions. People who blind themselves of what is taking place and who do not care about what they do or what they say or who they hurt in a work place or community, in families or teams. And sad, most of the time they are not even conscionable of their ill intent or why they do it in these venues.  read more »

Know Your Audience!

How? . . .Listen.

Listen. Yes, listen and listen well. When we do, when we truly listen - we can draw out people's needs
and desires. We, those of us as service providers, as coaches and as leaders, - can then move our audience towards solutions from our listening.

Solutions are what we can offer them from the information we heard. Truly hearing them, also gives us the ability to then ask them quality questions. Because we listened to them with our head and our hearts knowingly, we heard them.  read more »

What Clients are Saying

  • I came to Ida with many years experience in my industry, but having been removed from it for a few years I need coaching. Within the first few months of returning to the business, Ida's coaching and support established me as a Top Producer for her company.

    I have since gone into teaching and use Ida's coaching strategies on a daily basis. They not only help me to get the outcome I want with my students. I have had several opportunities to share her ideas with my students so that they can succeed in the class room and in life.

    Ida's dedication to her student's success always goes above and beyond.
