The more Resistance the better when it comes to deciding to study the Certificate IV in Training & Assessment.
We all know people who seem to have a brilliant life – they seem to have things where they want them to be. While we might envy them, there is something that those people do that we can do too. They Resist Resistance. Steven Pressfield is a man who seems to know lots of stuff. One thing he seems to know lots about is people, and what makes them tick. I was reading some of his stuff recently, and came across this line: “the more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it”. People with brilliant lives are those who turn up every day, no matter what. They do the work, relentlessly, knowing that each day is a battle against the Resistance that tries to get you to procrastinate, avoid the hard work, and settle for less than you … Read More..
Treading the TAE40110 Path Is a Marathon Effort
Just like the Cert IV TAE can, my first marathon – the New York Marathon – took about a year from start to finish. In the end, I think I clocked up about 800km of training kilometres, busted my knee, broke a toe, had lots of ups and downs, but in the end I still finished. Some people ask how long it took me. The answer is 4 hours, 48 minutes and 17 seconds. But really it took a year. Some people ask what place I came in. The answer is I was number 32 241 across the finish line. But really it was just me. I didn’t realise when I started a year ago just how many parallels there were between running my first marathon and studying something like the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment. The day I crossed the line in New York’s Central Park, back … Read More..
What I Learned About Quitting the TAE by Training for the New York Marathon
I had a call from a student who wants to quit his TAE. He enrolled about a year ago, started strong, took a few months off, and got into a pattern of doing a bit more whenever I got in touch after not hearing from him for a while. He always had explanations for his lack of progress and they seemed reasonable enough. I started to think about my own year. About a year ago I was sitting at this same desk, typing on this same computer. Funnily enough, it was a week very similar to this one. What do I mean by that? Well, not much was happening. I was a bit fidgety and restless. I received an amazing offer – and I jumped at it. It broke the monotony and seemed like a great thing. The offer was to run the New York Marathon… in 2012. It wasn’t … Read More..
Seeking Mega-Success: Setting goals and making priorities is only half the story.
About 15 years ago I was sitting on a plane. It was one of those times when I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted to flail my arms around and jump and scream and generally exhibit the sort of anti-social behaviour that would earn me a quick introduction to the Captain. So, instead I gave in and opened the Inflight magazine. Flicking through the pages I found an article by a bloke who was interested in successful people. Not just the normal successful people – not just the high flyers – but the really successful people, the ones who don’t just fly high, they soar way above the high flyers. He wanted to know what separated these mega-successful people from the everyday successful people. He found one thing. Every day successful people set goals. They focus on them, and they pursue them. And they succeed. This is not surprising. … Read More..
