Useful Top Ten lists



Top Ten lists, both personal and business, were originally circulated by Coach U, and later by Coachville, both coach training organizations. I am one of a number of people who used to contribute to those lists. Although distributed through coaching organizations, their context and usefulness are worldwide. They are no longer distributed by email, but here are links to some of the more than eighty that that I have written. To open a window to the entire Top Ten list, click on "Go" following the title. When you are finished with that list, close the window to return to this page. If you like what I have to say, you may want to add your name to the subscriber list for one or more of my free newsletters. These are "Work in Progress" and "Weekly Work in Progress" and the spirituality-oriented "Grounded in the Earth, Reaching for the Sky." Links to the relevant pages are below, and you can subscribe at the Guestbook.

(As you read, if you think that you would like to talk with me directly, please use the form below, or any Guestbook link to request a FREE half-hour coaching call with no obligation. In a coaching call you have several options as to format, including the development of a five-step action plan.)
