Success Coaching for Men

Have your goals lost their lustre? Were you a lot more passionate about them when you first wrote them down? Are your goals simply objectives that you should/could want but cannot seem to find the motivation or time to get around to completing? It’s Time for a 360° Review on Your Goals.  We all know [...]

Is there anything really meaningful that you would stay up for until 1:30 am? Something so cool that it taps into vast uncharted energy reservoirs hidden deep inside of you that you didn’t even know you had?  Passion for a movement, idea, or activity that is inspiring enough to keep you going even when your body wants [...]

I go to a downtown gym on the 2nd floor of a high rise building. The cardio equipment is right up against large windows so that you can see a busy street below. Currently, the entire street and sidewalk are torn up as work is being done. As a result, the sidewalks are gravel – [...]

The Enemy of the Best is the Good From the video clip ‘Shells’ by Rob Bell (http://flannel.org/) I was at the beach one day with my family walking along the ocean. My boys were running around ahead of us and they were finding all of these fragments and pieces of shells on the beach… amazing [...]

This is one of my favourite videos of all time. My wife likes it when I fail. Sounds weird but get this: My failures are opportunities for her to give something of value to me – support and encouragement.  She feels needed and worthy of providing support by just being there for me, reassuring me, helping me [...]

Women are beautiful.  There’s no other way to say it. My guess is that women, like men, fall victim to the deadly mental cancer called comparison: Am I pretty enough?   Why can’t I be as pretty as her?

Quitters Never Lose When a book, CD, movie, party, conversation, friend, girlfriend, website, restaurant, coffee, job, store, meal, e-mail, presentation, phone call, or Blog Post (maybe this one?) SUCKS, do you: Rationalize staying with it? (I spent money on this… I have nothing else to do… etc.) Think you’re not good enough to want something more [...]

Accessing What’s Deep Inside I worked with a Personal Trainer a few months ago – Greg Day from Steve Nash Sports Club in Vancouver.  Here’s the thing… I go to the gym pretty much every day and up until last month, I thought I was working pretty hard… boy, was I wrong. Greg pushed me [...]

Yesterday (Sunday), I competed in my first ever outdoor running race.  Not just any race, mind you.  This one was 16 KM long and straight uphill (elevation change of 4,100 feet) stretching from the ocean to the peak of Vancouver’s highest mountain. On Saturday, I almost backed out. Why? Fear. I feared not being able to do it.  I feared that I had not trained [...]

When a man tries to avoid dealing with behaviours that are holding him back, his inaction is unknowingly creating a massive risk.  Although comfortable and seemingly necessary, repression of a weakness only makes it worse.  The more it stays in the darkness of a man’s life, hidden and locked away behind fear, guilt, and shame, the more prone it is to rear [...]
