Relationship coaching for couples who want to improve their relationship

Sometimes, you know that your relationship could be better. You had hoped that your relationship would feel better by now and couples counseling doesn't feel like the right choice.

Through relationship coaching, you and your partner can learn which triggers tend to derail each of you and how to get back on track (or avoid going off track).

New Year's Resolutions - It's that time again

Submitted by Jonathan Sibley on Wed, 12/19/2012 - 16:51

What is your track record with New Year’s resolutions? If you are like most people, it has been difficult to make lasting progress with most resolutions.

What if 2013 were different? What if you could take steps to maximize the chances that you will be successful this time? Now is a good time to be thinking about your resolutions for 2013, so let’s start by thinking about why each resolution is important to you.

Most New Year's resolutions are, at best, valiant efforts doomed to fail. It's important to ask why so many efforts, repeated year after year, fail within months, if not weeks.

I believe that there are at least 4 reasons that most New Year's resolutions are ineffective and discarded long before achieving our goals:

Top 10 Qualities to Look for When Picking a Coach

Coaching is a relatively new field, so there is much less research about what works in coaching than there is about what works in fields such as therapy. Also, anyone can call himself or herself a coach, so it is particularly important to consider how to identify someone who is likely to help you.

Welcome to the first installment of a new series of articles on how to improve your relationship with someone you love.

How many times have you had a fight about something and thought “Why did we fight about that? Why was it such a big deal?” Often, we wonder why something makes our partner so upset. Sometimes, we wonder why something makes us so upset.
