7 Lessons from Ancient Asian Philisophy

1. You will learn lessons. Life is a constant learning experience, there are no failures or success, only lessons 2. A lesson is repeated until it is learnt. A problem that continues is a lesson that we haven't learnt yet. So to blame others for your misfortunes is not taking lesson for yourself.  Because of this blame, you will continue to make the same mistakes, abeit in different situations. You will only stop making mistakes when you have learnt the lesson.  3. Others are merely mirrors of you. What we dislike in others we also have that same dislike for ourselves.  4. What you make of your life is up to you. You yourself must walk the path.  Others can guide or help you, but they cannot do it for you.  5. The answers lie inside. No matter what people tell you, happiness can only come from inside you. In order to find true inner peace, you need to trust yourself and accept yourself, then you can find the answers within you and not keep on looking outside for an

How to Wake People Up

US Coach Dan Millman was the 1966 Olympics gold medal winner for gymnastics.  He went through many ups and downs in his life, including breaking his leg and two near-death accidents. Since 1980, Dan dedicated his life to inspire others based on what he learned from gurus from China and India .  Dan wrote 9 books, including the best-seller, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" in 1985. This book has since been turned into a movie called "Peaceful Warrior" (2005).  In the movie "Peaceful Warrior", Dan Millman  said that most people live their entire lives without being awake. We thus need to 'wake people up' if we want to help people break free from their own self-limiting beliefs and get closer to their potential.  This course, which we have been conducting since 2008, was based on the strategies and tactics in Dan's work. It answers many questions that people face at work: how to motivate people other than money, how to persevere in

4 Factors that Drive China's Growth Today

Written by David McDonald, Quora To make sense of China’s next decade, it is critical to grasp that there is no single driver of the nation’s future. Instead, four very different drivers are pushing the country forward at once, all powerful, and all interacting with each other in unanticipated ways. The first driver is an aspect of the country’s economy and culture that I call “ Open China. ” The emerging potential of China’s consumer markets is well known to outside producers, many of which, like General Motors, have already come to depend on these markets for their profitability. Unlike other leading economies in Asia, including Japan and South Korea, China began opening its markets to foreign companies at the very start of its economic reforms and it has opened them ever wider ever since. At the same time, the Chinese people have rapidly advanced as consumers; the wealth created by China’s growth has created a substantial middle class. Putting a precise number on t

Doing Business in China: Myths and Truths

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

What Do Coaches Do?

People often asked me what do I as a Business and Executive Coach do. Do I teach people, motivate people and counsel people?  As a coach, what make me able to help people that are more experienced than me?  Do I only cover soft skills and not focus on hard skills?  Why should anyone pay me to coach them?  Can people do self-coaching?' The answer to the above questions is simply this: a coach does one and only thing: solve problems. We help our customers solve their problems. Note that we don't help people solve the symptoms of their problems , which is what most consultants do. For example, if your company's sales is down, consultants and trainers would tell you to train your salespeople, make your products and services more attractive and so on. As a coach I go to the root of the problem, which could be simply your company is serving the wrong market and your sales compensation scheme is not attracting more sales.
