Absolutely! And I love IttyBiz too. Naomi doesn’t mince her words, and deals out some pretty straight advice as a result, which is terrific!

Pretty awesome when you stumble onto something (in this case blogging) and it just fits and works and exposes you to a whole new world eh! By the way, Ittybiz is and always has been one of my all time favorite blogs! Naomi Dunford basically rocks!!

TBH I’m not a huge fan of GROW either. It’s great for beginners and as a teaching tool, but I couldn’t imagine using it to structure a session these days…

Thanks for this, Mark. Your article about the GROW model has a lot to answer for!! Ironically, I’m not a huge fan of the GROW model but needed to get up to speed on it for a client who uses it in-house and wanted their coach training to focus on it. Had I not had to do, what at the time felt like a bit of balls-aching research, who knows….!

Best wishes to you!

Maybe it’s the mixture?! I’m definitely enjoying learning about this new (well, at least to me) media and all its opportunities. I think I could learn forever and not know or understand everything, but I’m going to have a pretty good crack at it, and, like you am really enjoying it!

I don’t know, I have been thinking that. I think part of it for me is the interaction with positive, like minded people. But I also think it’s something more than that, I have really enjoyed the IT side too and the creative side with writing again. Whatever it is, really enjoying!

I’m happy to know that you’re having a similar reaction, Jen!

What it is about blogging and working online that makes it just SO magical?! That question makes me curious. But whether or not I ever find out the answer, I’m just happy to be having this experience.

Great to hear about your journey into blogging Christine.
I feel very similar in the excitement to have found this way of working too, it is very cool and opens up so many possibilities.
Thanks for your links, some I haven’t discovered yet so I will check those out.
