Comment on The Daffodil Principle by Rey Carr

I am delighted that I read this story. It reminds me of the importance of getting started on any journey regardless of how long or tough the road. It also reminds me of saying I made up a few years ago: Anyone can can’t the number of seeds in an apple, but no one can count the number of apples in a seed. When the bulbs were first planted it would have been very difficult to predict the outcome.

Hi Richard, Just wanted to say came across your blog through my work, and i think it’s a really valuable service. You are posting quality, rich articles, that are of great value to users about coaching, and the effects this can have on businesses and individuals. Running a site for people to find coaching courses, i really feel your blog would be of value to our users, and would help them get the advice we just don’t have the resources to provide. If you have time, i would like to discuss the opportunity to cooperate with you, in which we could link out to you (for free) as it would add value to our users. Contact me on the above details, and i will in the meantime follow you on Twitter.

Thanks, Kate Butterworth

I spent three weeks in New Zealnd when my son was on study abroad at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. That is a great city, very English and beautiful. Aukland is just another big city like New York or Toronto and I would skip that. Queenstown is the home of extreme sports and pretty and has a lot of different things to do. It is like Aspen. It is a wonderful country-easy to travel around and has very different sites from volvanic activity in Rotorua on the North Island to Queesntown (do the highest bungi jump there) to the glaciers in Franz Josef on the South Island.

Creating contraints is good way to term that idea. I always say it is easier to critique than create as you said. So you can to give them anything just to get started. Another thing I always said in regards to writing reports that went through a multiple review (changing happy to glad) stages was to just jot something down on a cocktail napkin and hand it in. Don’t invest too much emotion is things that are going to get arbitrarily changed anyway. It gives them a place to start or as you say create contraints. Good topic! I see this as a big issue in much of the consulting work I do–people want to change things but don’t know where to start and getting them to commit to what they actually want is excruciating since they really usually have no idea. I had a 90 min. conversation just yesterday with someone going over a report with piles of numbers and percentages etc and just kept asking and what does that mean? I had her “unbundle” the numbers and separate things out and we came to a very manageable conclusion that looked very favorable as opposed to this overwhwlming, numbers filled, impossible and imcomprehensible report that made her people look very bad. Thanks and enjoy your lovely vacation.

Interesting comments. I first saw the PERFORMANCE = POTENTIAL – INTERFERENCE equation in Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game of Work. I am not familiar with Myles Downey, but have certainly found Gallwey’s model and apporach to coaching simple and effective. Anyone interested should have a read of Gallwey. Steve

I really enjoyed your editorial today. I felt like I was talking to a friend. When you said, ‘let’s meet up, I felt like you really meant it; and I in turn if I could would have taken you up on your offer. Thanks for keeping it sincere.

I disagree with your comments about dress for two reasons.

Firstly, we live in a real world in which people do care about dress.

Secondly, dress is always a statement of some kind. It is the result of conscious or unconscious decision making. Different people might disagree about what is important or acceptable. But there is always a message.

Enjoy reading what you see.
