CYCLE OF CHANGE - MOTIVATION

CYCLE OF CHANGE - MOTIVATION

Some individuals are highly motivated to tackle their problems, to better their lives, and others are not remotely interested in change, and may in fact be resistant to it. Joseph Prochaska and Richard DiClemntene, two American psychologists have devised a framework which is normally known as Cycle of Change. Individuals are described as being at one of the following stages of motivational state. You may wish to do your own assessment and identify where you stand in 'Finding a Balance in Your Life.' If you have been reflecting on your life, you may be ready to translate your thoughts into action.
1. Pre-Contemplation: Limited awareness of problems or refusal to recognise them.
2. Contemplation: This state applies to a person who is aware of some problems, or is unhappy with the current state of affairs and is thinking what to do about it. Could do with help to decide on a course of action.
3. Determination stage: This pertains to those who have made up their minds, on a course of action. At this stage the individual may require assistance or advice to make a choice from amongst a range of possibilities.
4. Action Stage: This stage applies to those who have embarked on a course of action, because they are not satisfied with their current state. At this stage the individual would have crafted an Action Plan to achieve a goal or goals.
5. Maintenance stage: This applies to people who have achieved a part of their goal but have some way to go to attain the goal in its entirety. They could benefit from support to maintain their commitment and not to give up

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website

(Visit Sohan's Website) Sohan Singh, MA. BSc. (Hons)CQSW. www.achievinginnerpeace.com Life Coach---from where you are to where you want to be---= Author: Achieving Inner Peace Achieving Inner Peace approaches each aspect of our lives which disrupt our sense of peace and security and reveals the best methods to counteract the negativity that creeps into our daily lives. Using a mixture of various philosophical and religious maxims and contemporary stress-relieving techniques, Sohan Singh reminds us of such inspirational principles as: * True happiness and contentment are not dependent on externals. * Anger controlled is strength. * We create the causes of our suffering. Author: Achieving a Healthy Balnced Life! The book is about being a well rounded-person, about being fulfilled in the realization of goals. Most of us concentrate on acquiring material possessions or climbing the corporate ladder, but ignore other aspects of life. Sooner or later, we feel unhappy because of dissatisfaction with the way we are leading our lives. It is mainly because our living and working is not based on fundamnetal principles or natural laws.
