If repparttar

business is comprised of family members, repparttar 103832

situation can be even more intense and damaging because repparttar 103833

negative effects permeate to personal lives and to family members who may not even be directly involved in repparttar 103834

business. As a coach, I help repparttar 103835

partners focus on their goal for repparttar 103836

business by examining repparttar 103837

harm caused by destructive self centered behavior. The need to compete and win sometimes is an unresolved need to play out old family patterns even if repparttar 103838

partners are not members of repparttar 103839

same family. The goal of coaching is not to heal old patterns, but rather to contain them and to create new patterns of satisfaction that directly relate to business success. If repparttar 103840

situation is so entrenched, therapy may be recommended as part of repparttar 103841

solution. However, usually coaching techniques which direct repparttar 103842

parties to clarify and satisfy needs in productive ways in order to focus on repparttar 103843

business, such as Carville and Matlin focus on their marriage, is repparttar 103844

usual path that can be implemented.

10 SURE Ways on How to Fight Discouragement

Written by Herve da Costa

Continued from page 1

TIP #8: Simplify

Simplify and cut down your to-do-list. You do not have one?… well create one!

TIP #9: Call a supportive friend

Call a supportive friend and have breakfast together to share and evaluate your strategies. Give each other supportive and constructive feedback.

TIP #10: Share

10.Share with your partner: “I am feeling discouraged right now. I am trying to get out of that state of mind”. It brings things out consciously. This is often good enough to shift.

Crawling under a blanket is fine too. Let people around you know that you need space and will be back. Once you are back on your feet again. Congratulate yourself for shifting out that mode.

You have just learned how to deal with one of our most challenging obstacles.
