WHAT DOES HOSTAGE NEGOTIATING HAVE TO DO WITH RUGBY COACHING ? The best rugby coaches didn’t get to where they are by taking shortcuts. They have clarity of purpose and a desperation to fulfill their destiny. Whether they crave fame, recognition, a lucrative contract, or just the pure thrill of knowing they are the best, they put in the work. They endure the discomfort of change because they know it’s the only way to achieve greatness. Think about the last time you pushed yourself to know more. Maybe you started a masterclass or a new training program. You were excited, motivated, ready to take on the world. But then life happened. The funding was hard to secure, the homework was tough, and suddenly, the couch and a cold beer looked more appealing than the grind. We’ve all been there. But here’s the deal: one course, one masterclass, one piece of knowledge can change the trajectory of your coaching career. Imagine landing that six-figure contract or gaining the respect of your peers and players because you dared to invest in yourself, even when it was uncomfortable. Overnight success is never truly overnight. It’s the result of countless hours spent honing your craft, enduring the discomfort, and pushing through the pain. Omardefence.com

Having been given the green light for my MSc Sports Coaching Research Journal, I'm looking to engage with some coaches who have coached Rugby Union from the UK or Ireland who have coached abroad (living for a minimum for 6 months in a foreign country) who would be interested in engaged in discussion their experiences abroad and how it's impacted their coaching journey. The main objective is to add research of coach migration, with a focus on Rugby Union coaches migrating from the United Kingdom and/or Ireland, and how the lived experiences of coaches who have been on this migration journey have influences their coaching approach and development. Throughout the project, exploration of the following areas should conclude to reach the main objectives:  1.     To obtain the reasons behind a coaches’ decsion to migrate from the United Kingdom and/or Ireland as to asertain the type of migrate they perceive to be. 2.     Exploring how the perception of coaching abroad differ from reality and the challeges they faced which effected their coaching approach.  3.     Understanding to what extent a migrant journey benefited coaching practice and development and how this is perceived. I would be very keen to hear from any female coaches who have coached abroad who would be willing to share their experiences. I am hoping to conduct interviews from mid-May to mid-June. If you'd be interested in be apart of the study, please e-mail me at m039389m@student.staffs.ac.uk, or send me a message with your email, and I will be in contact in due course.

PPI 113: Being an Active Grandma/Coach Training & Team Coaching  My name is Nefissa Karboul Achour. I live in #Tunisia most of the year, and the rest between Djerba (it's an island in South Tunisia), Stuttgart in #Germany, and #London. Because one daughter lives in Germany and the other in London. I'm #retired, professional #coach and ICF Synergy Ambassador for Tunisia. International Coaching Federation Synergy is the alliance of french-speaking coaches from #Belgium, #France, #Luxembourg, #Morocco, #Quebec, #Switzerland and #Tunisia. So what does living a good life mean to you?  For me it's having good #health, is important for me. Staying active, my favorite sport is #tennis. I played this morning with many friends and we have brunch together after playing every Saturday in the morning at my tennis club. Being also surrounded by my #family, #friends, and participating in cultural activities such as theater, cinema etc. So what intentional activity would you say has had the greatest impact on your life?  Helping my daughters especially when my grandchildren were young. being there for them when they needed me (even as I said they live in Germany!). Also, I make my professional #coaching training after retirement. This training has taught me many things, a great deal for me. And during COVID, thanks to pro bono coaching, I was able to support several #women business #leaders, helping them to resolve some of their challenges. With other coaches, a group of coaches we made this programme. And what about the community? What intentional activity do you believe could make the biggest difference in your community?  For me, it's offering #solidarity team coaching with other coaches to groups of young people in different associations to develop their #communication, #teamwork, #leadership, #skills, etc. And a one-line message of hope for the world. What might that be?  For me, together, anything is possible. And alone we go faster, together we go further. #PPK2K #positivepsychology #RTW #Motorcycle #mission #FRANKconversation #goodlife #lifeskills #teamcoaching https://lnkd.in/e3BAcuqq

Are you moving forward, or just treading water? Here’s how 1 question boosted my focus by 40%. Let me share a story: When training for the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the GB rowing team had a mantra: “Will it make the boat go faster?” Every decision hinged on this one question. It’s straightforward, but it’s a game-changer. So, what does this mean for you as a founder? Here’s how to apply it: 1️⃣ Set a clear, singular business goal. 2️⃣ Run every action through the question: “Will this move me closer to that goal?” 3️⃣ Cut out anything that doesn’t pass the test. When I used this approach, here’s what changed: ✅ I zeroed in on high-impact activities. ✅ I stopped chasing every shiny new idea. ✅ I doubled down on strategies that truly worked. The result? More growth, less time wasted. It’s about cutting through the noise. Ask the question. Make the call. Watch your business glide ahead. 🚣

Maxires Consulting Maxires Training & Consulting Key Takeaways: *Life is all about taking it the way it is - if so you are vanderlei* Imagine an Olympic event and you are leading the marathon in style., well set rhythm and this happens to you.... How would you take it??? Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima (born 4 July 1969) is a Brazilian retired long-distance runner. He was born in Cruzeiro do Oeste, Paraná. While leading the marathon after 35 km (22 mi) at the 2004 Summer Olympics, he was attacked on the course by Irish former priest Cornelius "Neil" Horan. Sports which happen once in 4 years and these years filled with sacrifice / pain / preparation / motivation / early mornings and late night practice sessions and you are pushed aside by a freak accident / incident completely out of control What happens to one is completely out of control but how one responds to it is purely ones own.... Liked the sentence when he entered the stadium.. Champions don’t mull Over incidents and play victim card. They take it in their stride and MOVE ON. He may have lost Gold and Silver ended up with Bronze at Athens but even there he was acknowledged at the highest level with an Honour... *Best comes to him after 12 years with an opportunity that he wouldn’t have got even had he won Gold in Athens... At Athens., it would have been just another gold medal. But this makes Vander Lei - ONLY* All that’s happening around us is for good. God’s plans can only be understood with time. Not at the moment when the person is going through.

Watching the Canadian Open at HG&CC, "my childhood club".. got me thinking... For the entrepreneurs who may not be keen on golf... let's chat! ⛳ If you're anything like me, you might have shrugged off golf invites in your early years, thinking it wasn't your thing. But let me drop some wisdom on you. Golf isn't just a sport; it's a fantastic opportunity to network with accomplished individuals who can offer invaluable insights. Countless business deals are made on the golf course, and it's a chance to bond with seasoned mentors and the top 1%. So, if a respected client OR elder extends an invitation, consider stepping out of your comfort zone. And here's the kicker: you don't have to be a pro, and hitting that slice is OK! Enjoy yourself, and realize that most people aren't golfing pros either. It's about being present, competing against yourself both on the green and in life. Remember, 90% of life is simply showing up, and as for success? You guessed it, it's all about showing up! Who's done deals on the golf course? #Recruitment #Staffing #Golf

Monday: a catchup day after a very busy 7 days across 3 different locations last week, the last of which was Cambridge. Discussions with businesses, & members of University of Cambridge about bringing #CliftonStrengths to teams & undergraduates/post-grad's. And then an unexpected opportunity on the river... 🚣♀️ how could I say 'no' to an early morning chance to try something completely new to me? It was so enjoyable; a great focus for the mind. If your mind wanders, you make mistakes immediately. It was a really refreshing experience. With many thanks to Trinity Hall Boat Club for allowing me to try out their training 'tub' boat, and for the expert guidance of top rowers, William Read, and Emmanuella Weaver coxing us. The best bit: being told by Emmanuella that I would have been great if I had become one of the novices she coaches - I took to it easily, she said ... For someone of my age, that made me punch the air with an excited "Yes!" (an imagined punch so as to avoid losing my ‘blade’ (as the oar is called)) ... exactly aligns to my normal #wildtrainer energy, I thought! And I passed one of her key rules for teamwork - being there on time! [And like my last river experience in Devon paddle boarding (link in comments), I realise once again, I chose a non-traditional sporting outfit 😀 ; surely the best-dressed on the river👔, I say!] Next up this week, I'll be reporting from the ➡ Bristol Business Expo where I will be speaking about focusing on our strengths for a better business performance & a higher life quality ⬅ yes, extensive research by Gallup shows this to be true✅. It's on Thursday, and it's free to attend. Link in the comments to find out more. #personaldevelopment #coaching #teamwork

🇬🇧 🌍 Coaching Abroad: It’s More Than Just a Change of Scenery I've noticed a growing trend of coaches expressing interest in working abroad, often mentioning destinations like Finland and the UAE in the same breath, just as an example. While both opportunities are exciting, the reality is that these two countries offer completely different challenges and experiences. It is crucial to recognize that each nation offers a vastly different footballing culture, climate, and set of challenges. 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 5 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 - 🇵🇹 🇿🇦 🇨🇦 🇫🇮 🇦🇪 ᴍʏ ᴀᴅᴠɪᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ: Coaching abroad is about more than just applying your current knowledge in a new setting; it’s about fully immersing yourself in a new footballing ecosystem, respecting local customs, and being willing to learn and adapt your approach to suit the environment. Before making the leap, it’s essential to do your research, speak to those who have worked in those countries, and ask yourself: "Am I ready to embrace the differences, learn from them, and grow as a coach in a completely new context?" "Am I prepared to adapt my coaching philosophy to fit the environment?" True growth as a coach comes from embracing the challenges and learning to thrive in diverse settings. #CoachingAbroad #FootballCulture #CoachingChallenges #ContinuousLearning #Adaptability #FinlandFootball #UAEFootball
