The 12 Days of Books #12

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
To round off my 12 Days of Books series, we don’t just have one book, we have a whole list! A mini library, if you will. Some of these I’ve read, others I’m part-way through. Some I’ve dipped into, others I’ve yet to begin. If you read any of them, I’d love to know what […]

The 12 Days of Books #11 – The promise that changes everything

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
A new book by Nancy Kline on thinking better is always An Event, in my view. The Promise That Changes Everything is her latest. It’s not giving away any secrets to say that the promise of the title, captured in the subtitle, is ‘I won’t interrupt you’. As Kline puts it: ‘Change where your attention […]

‘The capacity to remain flexible in our thoughts, feelings and behaviours when faced by a life disruption, or extended periods of pressure, so that we emerge from difficulty stronger, wiser and more able.’ Resilience is helpful at the best of times. In the current context, it feels even more critical to do what we can […]

Since I’m posting this on Christmas Eve, Day 8’s book has a lighter feel.

If you’re anything like me, ticking things off a to do list is one of the most satisfying parts of the day. But am I doing the right things, the things that will be most effective in getting me the meaningful results I want, the ones that will truly help me flourish? A lot of […]

The 12 Days of Books #5 – Vital Conversations

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
Vital Conversations, by Alec Grimsley, is a ‘must have’ book to steer you through those ‘must have’ but tricky-to-navigate, difficult conversations. We’re talking here about conversations dealing with sensitive topics, major decisions and disagreements, clearly communicating your needs and boundaries, delivering bad news and ending a relationship. The ones that are high stakes, full of […]

The 12 Days of Books #4 – Self-Compassion

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
Self-Compassion by psychologist Kristin Neff is one of those books I find myself recommending to others because I found it so useful myself. I’m conscious that I can be a tough self-critic and sometimes struggle to keep my imposter syndrome under control. Over my years as a coach, I’ve come to recognise that, since I […]

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
It has been an aspiration of mine for some time now to take August off work. The idea first floated onto my radar many years ago when two independent consultants I regularly worked with told me proudly that they didn’t work in August or December. This struck me as entirely laudable: luxurious, yes, but also […]

Goal-setting is one of my things: I’m a coach, after all. And one of my favourite mantras is Stephen Covey’s ‘Start with the end in mind’. So when January 1st rolls round, I am normally ready, pen poised over eager note pad (I also love new stationery), bursting with enthusiasm for fresh commitments that will […]

Grit and Learning: What babies can teach us

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try and try again’ What can we learn from how babies learn? Persistence, the willingness to fail and practice, practice, practice. Babies don’t give up on learning how to walk: ‘when a child is learning to walk and falls down 50 times, they never think to themselves “maybe […]
