The following is an excerpt of an actual transaction between David and a client in Top Coaching Techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David: Now on the fun issue, I got the sense that you want to be less serious and have some fun. What do you suggest there? What\u2019s it going to take?<\/p>\n

Client: I don\u2019t know. Isn\u2019t it ridiculous that that should be a scary place? Okay, I think I need to allow myself a little more time to enjoy things. What I really need to do is set myself a weekly time check – that doesn\u2019t sound like fun, does it \u2013 but where I check off each day, something I\u2019ve done for myself that\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n

David: Yeah, I think that can be fine and also to have something to look forward to at the end of each day. It can make your day a lot brighter. I get what you are saying – that it doesn\u2019t seem fun to set up a worksheet \u2013 but without a structure to change your pattern, it\u2019s hard to change your pattern. So, I think that\u2019s fine. So, specifically, what would you do to move this forward?<\/p>\n

Client: I think I need to have fun and also lighten up on myself. I think I have a heavy expectation on myself to achieve and I always have, and always have achieved well. I think I actually need to take some of that focus off to a degree. It\u2019s not the end of the world if you don\u2019t achieve everything you want to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
