Mentoring and coaching have distinct styles, different goals, but related ideals.  Join Nicole Greer, PPCC to learn the difference between coaching and mentoring.  Mentoring is setting the example, sharing your wisdom, and raising someone up to follow in your footsteps. Coaching is drawing the genius out of an individuals so they can live out their ordained purpose.  The coaches goal is to facilitate the release of an individuals light so they SHINE!  Gain clarity and understanding of your role in the lives of others.

Mentoring vs. Coaching, What's the difference?

Join Nicole Greer, PPCC...a.k.a. "The Vibrant Coach" for a 15 minute illuminating coaching session where you'll gain understanding about people and how they organize their world.  Using the time tested and scientifically proven MBTI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Nicole will light up the fourth dichotomy of preference.  

People organize their world differently. Some people are perceiving while some are judging. The perceiving types prefer possibilities, freedom and variety. The judging types prefer self-discipline, accountability and expertise. Both approaches are valuable.  The key is to understand your own preference while appreciating the other.

Vibrant Types! Understanding People and How They Organize Their World

You have a brain in your head.

Duh!

That's a no brainer.

While this fact is obvious, often we forget we are thinking.  We must think about how we're thinking.  This is called metacognition.  Without metacognition, we fall prey to bad thinking habits.  Bad thinking habits manifest in all sorts of ways:

Taking short cuts.
Making excuses
Believing things that are unjustified.
and everyone's favorite...Fear.

You're a leader.

It might be an informal leadership role. You might be charged with something simple like showing someone how to do something at work. Or... your leadership may be more formal because you have a title. It doesn't matter. You lead. 

The way you show up in the world either attracts people or it repels them. You stand in choice about how you want to be received by the world. In order to choose an attractive, positive, and compelling leadership style you need to know who you are at the core. It's elemental.

Let's do some self-assessment, The "S" in the S.H.I.N.E. Coaching Methodology™. 

In this episode, you'll discover that your leadership style is comprised of four basic elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.  The secret to your leadership success is profoundly simple. Take the elements of creation and turn them into the building blocks for collaboration, innovation, and building a network. Let's get started!

Four Secrets to Leadership

You can live a VIBRANT life if you invest the time and energy.  The first investment anyone with a desire to change, grow and illuminate the world with their genius is to create a system for change.  The system must have mapped out strategies with measurable objectives.  With these essential elements in place, you create S.M.A.R.T. Goals to accomplish your vision.

How to Plan Your Week! Take the Essential Steps to Transform Your Life

Celebrated author, speaker and business guru, Harvey MacKay, asserts: 

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.”

He's exactly right!  Hello...time is ticking off right now.

Your ability to get your head wrapped around this concept is essential to living your most VIBRANT life. The concept of harnessing time and riding it like a stallion is not a crazed work like mad ideal. It's a leadership concept.  You must take control of your days instead of letting the day control you. Get out of the defensive mental model of complaining, contending, and criticizing your life ... instead... get on the offensive. Lead your day! 

Leading your day means that you intentionally create direction, align your resources, and make a commitment to the things that matter most. 

In this episode, Nicole Greer, PPCC, aka The Vibrant Coach will share five strategies on how to structure your day! You'll set a direction that serves your vision. You'll make sure you are resourced and obstacle free. You'll understand that your commitment only requires a simple yes or no.

How to Coach Yourself to Have an Awesome Day

Accountability is Love.

Albert Einstein stated, "If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.’"

Albert was a genius. 

He knew that the key to solving our own problems and the world’s problems are not found in our limited opinions but rather in the unlimited power of our curiosity.  And, the same is true in our lives as a “Vibrant" individuals.

The key to solving our problems is not found in our currently held opinion but rather in the unlimited power of our curiosity.  Asking powerful questions is the most important tool in our vibrant life toolbox. Join the Vibrant Coach, Nicole Greer, to put an invaluable life and leadership tool in your toolbox and release our genius. 

Let's get started!

Ask Powerful Questions and Show Some Serious Love

Team work may make the dream work. But, team work is impossible without vibrant individuals bringing themselves fully to the team. Your team's members need really heathy framing about the Strategies, Systems, and Smarts that must be carried out in order to turn the dream into a reality. 

This framework is: L. O. V. E.  

When each team member embraces the mental models of:

Learning
Openness
Vision and
Enthusiasm
...you'll experience a whole new level of performance. Stop trying to do the team work before you've got the right mental models embraced by each individual contributor. Join Nicole Greer, PPCC to help your team fall in L.O.V.E.

Laying the Foundations of Teamwork: L.O.V.E.

Spring into Action! Get a Growth Mindset

Odds are you've used the phrase, "the learning curve" when you've referred to an unexpected detour in your plan, your life, or business. Everyone on planet earth has experienced this.  

Even with best laid plans..

You find yourself having to do more than expected. 
You find yourself having to work harder.
You find yourself digging deep to understand the context, content, and character of the situation.
These are tell-tale signs that you are experiencing a learning curve. Learning curves build strength, stamina, intellect, and discipline. With the proper mindset, "enthusiasm" you can learn even more.

Answer these Powerful Questions:

What if I took on learning curves on purpose?
What if my life was a series of carefully calculated, courageous, and confidence building learning curves?
I think it would be a VIBRANT LIFE...one pulsating with energy... magnetic... and inspiring.

Instead of letting learning curves unfold, I suggest you take them on with zeal! In this episode, Nicole Greer, PPCC...that's me... will explain the learning curve. Have a pen and paper ready to draw out the diagram. Get ready to think through your own learning curve story and see how you could take what is probable and make it probable. 

Let's get started!

Take a Trip on the The Learning Curve

You've been given a gift of choice. You are empowered to decide in the vast majority of the opportunities that life presents.  The powerful question is:

How will you respond?

In this episode of The Vibrant Coach, Nicole Greer, PPCC invites you to be conscious... Alive... Awake and Aware of your choices.  It's time to wake up and SEE that we must have conscious use of our selves...aka...self-control.  Using the Decision Awareness Matrix, you can practice Self-Assessment, the "S" in the S.H.I.N.E. Coaching Methodology. 

Self-Assessment is a way of approaching life that leads to increased awareness of one's unique gifts and the capacity to influence others. Self-Assessment is a necessary competency for people in positions where they are leading, coaching, and empowering others to act. We act too often automatically, from habitual patterns thats may not be appropriate for the current situation. Conscious choice is a better choice when our actions will have important impact.

On today's episode, we'll explore our decisions and the four foundations from which they emanate. The four foundations are: 

Accountability: When we are aware that we are in control of our choices, we can be accountable for what we choose.

Automatic: When we are unaware of the choices we have made, we do it automatically by pattern or habit.

Blame: When we are aware of the choices, but give control of our choices to others, we blame them.

Socialization: When we are unaware of choosing and do something out of our being unaware, we are acting from our belief system and our socialization. We are coming from our socialization.

The Decision Quadrant: Make Up Your Mind

The Human Condition: Are You Needy? A Control Freak? A Narcissist?

The Art of Dialogue is not a cute title for this podcast. Talking, conversing, and communicating takes style, panache, and moxie. It's important to understand that creating a tete-a-tete of value requires serious skills. 

In today's rapid-fire environment, the individual who can slow the pace and create an exchange of information that opens up everyone's neural passageways is going to look like a genius. It's counter-cultural to insist on reflection, mindfulness, and feedback. AND... HELLO... LISTENING TO EACH OTHER!

But, that is exactly what you and your organization needs.

In this episode, I, Nicole Greer aka The Vibrant Coach, will share awesome information from Rob Friedman's article in the Harvard Business Review along with an explanation of the collabortive coaching tool, The Art of Dialogue. My aim is put a coaching tool in your tool box that will:

Glean the Genius in your Teams
Increase Trust
And Eradicate the Drama
Let's get started! Listen in...What are you waiting for? Write some notes. Call me for clarification or a coaching session for you one on one or with your team.

The Art of Dialogue: How to Talk to Each Other

What are you thinking?
This is a very good question. 

The more powerful question is: How are you thinking?  

Our thinking, our quality of thinking, creates our world. 

Just think about it. What runs through your mind runs your world.  

Join Nicole Greer, PPCC a.k.a. the Vibrant Coach to explore your thought life!  You'll learn about mental models, managing brain booby traps, and making lemonade. The individual who can master their own recipe for turning a sour situation into a sweet one lives a vibrant life. Listen in... let's get started!

Brain Booby Traps that Block your Success

A 2nd Installment in the How to Avoid the Brain Booby Traps Series

Join Nicole Greer, PPCC for the third installment in the Brain Booby Trap Series! This episode, "Move from Can't to Can" is a simple shift in mental models that invites you to move from the negative perspective into the positive. This simple shift requires two things:

Action 
Commitment
If you want your life to rocket to new heights, you'll need to create "escape velocity." Escape velocity is the speed necessary for  a space craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth. The technical definition is:

the lowest velocity that a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Just like a scientist at NASA, you also need to formulate energy through action with great commitment to break free from the old gravitational pull in your life to a new gravitational pull. You'll need a solid, scientific, and strategic set of actions and commitment.

You can go from the place that are to the place you want to be.

Break the gravitational pull of can't do by engaging in what you can do. Let's get started!

A Third Installment in The Brain Booby Trap Series: Move From Can't to Can

The first in a three part series on Optimism, "Three Strategies for Thinking "You Can Do It" provides the conduit to achieve your goals. Join The Vibrant Coach for a virtual coaching session that can shift your perspective.

A complex study published in Frontiers in Psychology found three simple techniques that can increase your performance. Directly linked to the character trait of optimism, these simple habits not only shift performance they create health, wellness, and a magnetic field around you. I call that magnetic field VIBRANCY. 

The three techniques are:

    •    Self-Talk

    •    Imagery

    •    If-Then Planning

All three of these techniques require you to identify the:

Process . Outcome . Instruction ...neccessary to succeed.
