Welcome to Part 3 of this series of short blogs designed to help you start and maintain a running habit by first focusing on the toughest part, overcoming the barriers that stop you getting out the front door.
In this blog we focus on finding your ‘starter habit’ and making this as easy as possible to perform.
If you caught Part 1, you’ll know that this series of shorts blogs approaches starting running from a bit of a different standpoint. (Pun very much intended!)

What are you afraid of me knowing about you?
I recently joined a coaching circle and a slight variation of the question above was used soon after our introductions. Posed and answered initially by the host it had a powerful impact. Within 10 minutes, our conversation had moved beyond the superficial to a much deeper level, trust was being built and rapport quickly established.
One of the frequent challenges that people bring to Active Coaching sessions is around identifying purpose or gaining a sense of positive direction in life or business.
What is my purpose?
A question that has been asked time and time again by many of us. We journal about it, seek coaching input to help define it and yet the answer often remains elusive…
