Orecle, I think that's particularly helpful for you to know; as someone who is interested in coaching people to peak performance, it's important to work with what motivates the person you're coaching, not what motivates you, the coach. It's also very helpful for a coach to know what de-motivates your clients, too -- and in this case, from her responses so far, I'm guessing that Michelle may be demotivated by the approach you and alexplatups are using here (forget about feeling good; focus on discipline and cals in/out; you're wrong and you'd better do it my way). Does that sound about right, Michelle? |
This is really interesting. Have you guys seen Wayne Dyer's new movie "From Ambition to Meaning"? This reminds me of the part where he discusses values of men and women in different periods of their lives.
As to feeling motivated. I always try to learn what I can from someone. But telling me to count calories and "just do it" would send me to the couch really fast with some cookies or cake.
