Evaluation quickly becomes an issue when clients seek out or engage an executive coach. For many executives, how to carry out that evaluation is not a question they will have considered before.

And what relevance

“Who are you now?”David Rude, MA, CPCMay 16, 2011I struggle with faith; often more than I’d like to admit. Why can’t I trust that between my efforts, the laws of Nature and God watching over me all will work out for the best? I sometimes find myself struggling just to get motivated to go about my daily activities. Fortunately, I am usually able to catch myself before I slip too deeply into

As this is a question that is often asked I have searched for a suitable explanation and descriptions from those who can explain it better than I.  To my delight Peter Bluckert had already published this article outlining the differences between Coaching and Therapy.   I hope you find this article as informative as I have.The Similarities and Differences between Coaching and TherapyAn article by

All, I'd like to compile a list of Books that all Coaches should read and I'm looking for inputs and reviews. I'll start with three of my favourites. First, The inner Game of work by Timothy Gallwey.

"Courage and Hope" by David Rude,MA, CPC February 8, 2011 There are vast possibilities available to us at this time. I really believe this. I just returned from my workshop and coaching tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland where I met some amazingly courageous and hopeful people. Times are tough, money is tight and it's cold out, but these people are empowered and motivated to create change

"Choosing truth over illusion" David Rude, MA, CPC Our ultimate success comes down to choice. Either we choose truth or we choose illusion. By choice, we can move into new experiences or areas of living or stay stuck in place. It is always up to us. Through the choices we make, every experience is communicated universally and all of life, including all others in our life, adjusts accordingly.

HR managers and professionals in all organisations suffer from the same challenge on a regular basis. They have been charged with increasing the productivity of the company’s employees but they only have a tight budget in which to do it!   The conflict between helping the organisation to achieve it Goals and having to do so within a budget often leads to comprimises being made.  One of this

What is your view on the impact distractions are having on your business and family life?Many people aren’t aware what distraction is really costing them. It’s destructiveness is often under the radar screen.Sometimes it can be because people are using distractions as a way to avoid difficult stuff or challenges. Maybe for some it is an escape and a welcome relief from the boring and mundane.

What is coaching? It's the proverbial question! I was browsing the www.irishcoachingsolutions.ie LinkedIn site recently (join us at http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2515281) as well as my other groups when I came across a post about Coaching in a marketing group I'm in. Ever the curious mouse I of course clicked to the post which brought me to an interesting post by Elaine Rogers who was

A few months ago I wrote a blog post discussing coaching in the public sector. I promised to follow up with a post on the tendering process. Well finally a tender has been released that I can use as my motivation to get around to doing just that! Public-sector organisations are great customers. They have to be fair, honest and professional in the way they choose suppliers and in any dealings

Let’s start to discuss how coaches can maintain and even grow their business in a recession. We want to hear your reaction to Irish Coaching Solutions recession survival guide. 1. Remember that coaching is a global business. You don’t have to rely on local business only. Create a web presence to reach clients all over the world. Coaching can be just as effective over the phone as in person.

Throughout my working history I have been heavily involved in the process of tendering. It began when I was involved in setting up a consulting firm which focused on the public sector, so tendering was a weekly occurrence for me, and it has continued in each role since. I keep a daily monitor on the Irish tendering website www.etenders.gov.ie (I recommend anyone in business does) as well as

I'd like to get some feedback on this topic. Whenever I tell people that I am a coach they give me that little smile that tells me they do not take me serious. I find myself having to give them a long explanation regarding coaching! It's like I'm justifying myself. Does anyone else have this issue and if yes how do handle this?
