			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Doing</em></strong> better or <strong><em>being</em></strong> better is what coaching is all about.</p>
<p>So how you do or be better?</p>
<p>One good way is to engage the services of a <a href="http://ahafactor.co.nz">Life Coach</a> or Mentor.</p>
<p>Another way is to be open to suggestions from friends and colleagues. It&#8217;s a great irony don&#8217;t you think that &#8216;you&#8217; are very very good at pointing out the faults, weaknesses and traits of everyone but yourselves!</p>
<p>Somehow you just don&#8217;t see where or how you can make positive change for the better for yourself.</p>
<p>I had this experience the other day.</p>
<p>I met my friend Bill for a coffee. Actually Bill had a business proposition to put to me and, as is the way of the world these days, we agreed to meet in a cafe to discuss his proposal as well as swap a few ideas.</p>
<p>Bill is a very successful entrepreneur. Therefore by default he is very creative and observant.</p>
<p>During the earlier part of our meeting Bill gave me his views on this website, what he felt is good, what could be improved.</p>
<p>I listened and I took notes. I could have chosen to become defensive and just clam up but I didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad that I listened.</p>
<p>Bill reckons the word <em>clarity</em> [<em>through clarity comes change</em>] is not very powerful. A word like <em>Focus </em>might be better.</p>
<p>My header graphic has a man leaping into the air. Where&#8217;s the female and child Bill asks? I might be limiting my appeal to only men because of this.</p>
<p>I need a logo. I now have a magnifying glass. This could go with the word <em>focus.</em></p>
<p>Hmmn &#8211; I&#8217;m starting to take notice. Perhaps he has a point.</p>
<p>Bill went on to give me suggestions regarding testimonials.</p>
<p>What about my business card?</p>
<p>And so on.</p>
<p>I might adopt some or all of Bill&#8217;s ideas. I am thankful for his honest and constructive ideas.</p>
<p><em>Even the coach can learn stuff!</em></p>
<p>Because the reality is that life is a process. The only constant is change and surely is the rate of change accelerating for all of you.</p>
<p>How you cope and prepare for this is up to you. What <a href="http://ahafactor.co.nz">action</a> will you take to <em>be</em> or <em>do</em> better?</p>
<p>So thanks Bill.</p>
<p><em>Be the change you wish to see in the world. </em>Mahatma Ghandi</p>
<p>Watch this space and see what changes are made.</p>
<p>P.S. Bill calls himself a &#8216;<em><strong>changeovator</strong>&#8216; </em>who is setting up &#8216;<em>friendchises</em>&#8216; for online clubs of <em>terrific </em>people.</p>
