Procrastination – A Story You Need to Drop Right Now!

By Action Coach Dave Beam

Last week we hopefully debunked some ideas about overwhelm.  This week, I want to help free you from another ball and chain – procrastination.

What is procrastination?  Is it a disease?  A virus?  A genetic tendency?  The word does seem to ring with psychological neurotic tones.  This is one of those sophisticated euphemistic labels that makes us feel better about lousy choices.  Perhaps you are one who hides behind that fancy word, procrastination.

Overcoming the Myth of Overwhelm

By Action Coach Dave Beam

Many times I start a coaching session by asking my client “What is currently your biggest challenge or problem?”  Often this is the story I hear, “Dave, I just have too much to do and not enough time.  I’m so far behind, I feel like I’ll never catch up.  I have so many people expecting so much from me.  I work and work and just can’t seem to satisfy them.  I’M OVERWHELMED.”  Is that sometimes your story?  Do you relate?  If so, I have great news.  You can be set free from overwhelm today!  If you want to know how, read on!

Nice People Are Selfish

By Action Coach Dave Beam

Well, if you consider yourself a nice person, you may be a bit taken back by that title. In the context of this article, what do I mean by NICE?

Let me ask you a question. If you are a parent, have you always been NICE to your children? Most parents would admit that there are times their children would not consider them NICE. Good parents confront their children, and challenge them, and at times discipline them because they care about them. Even though the child may not like their parents at the time of the correction, good parents care more about their child’s welfare than they do about how that child feels about them in that moment.
