Do you remember the time you got your passport request, have it stamped with your permanent resident visa and finally landed and became a permanent resident? How long has it been for you? We did ours in 2016 and over the years I can say that we have been successful in becoming immigrants of Canada […]
I used to judge a lot and usually it is not just limited to people but to different situations as well. I am not saying I am not judgmental anymore, but I’m always working to lessen it. It’s actually hard not to judge you know. Just this morning, I was annoyed when I saw a […]
Have you ever want something so bad but when you get it, you realized that what you already had is what you really want? If you have been following me, I shared that my contract was not renewed and that led to me being out of the workforce for 52 days, the longest break […]
It’s Halloween today. So I guess, it is kind of timely to talk about the things that we are afraid of. When I was a kid (actually up to now), I have always been afraid of ghosts. I might have seen one or two, but who knows, it might just be my imagination. I didn’t […]
I remember an advertisement on TV by Nescafe when I was still in the Philippines. The main question in the ad is “Who do you wake up for in the morning?” and that’s what we will try to answer today. The question “Who do you wake up for in the morning?” is almost synonymous to […]
I love listening to podcasts when driving. I think it’s one good way of using my alone time as I’m hitting two birds with one stone, me getting to where I’m supposed to go (literally) and me continuing my journey towards self-improvement. I’m currently listening to the Mindvalley Podcast and this reflection is about one […]
While I’m waiting for my next contract to start, I have been keeping myself busy with a lot of things. Bringing and fetching my daughter to school, writing a book, boxing, playing video games, investing time on my coaching practice and most recently, joining an orchestra. I’m not sure if I have told you before, […]
Values are the principles people live by. They are what drive people and make them tick. Values are unique per person because they are what they think are important in their lives. There are two types of values: fear-based and conscious based. Values based on fear are the ones that cause you to take action […]
When I was just starting out my coaching journey a year ago, we had peer coaching sessions. In these sessions, we coached each other for 24 sessions in whatever topic we want solved or addressed. I enjoyed those sessions and to tell you honestly, I’ve made a lot of breakthroughs during those sessions. What I […]
There were a few times when I could have asked for help but I didn’t. Primarily it’s because of pride, probably because I thought I’m better than the person I’m asking help from, or because I just don’t want to bother people with my personal problems. Before my coach training, I always thought that we […]
