Generic Skills & Structure for Creating What Matters Most in Life and Work - With Whatever Life Gives You!

"Go toward what attracts, excites or inspires you. Ask yourself what's worth the effort and the sacrifices that come with commitment to big goals. … Find out what you're made of."

– Dan Millman

If Commitment Is Key To Success, What's The Key To Commitment?

Commitment - the capacity to pledge yourself to a result worth creating - is a key to all success.

Committing means choosing, and taking action to support your choices. People who commit to their goals make good choices and create great results with less stress and strain.

My commitment-based success coaching approach helps you develop "generic competence" and "authentic confidence." Together, they empower you with the "generic capacity" to take on almost any challenge you truly care about.

Generic Competence - Generic Capacity

Generic capacity involves generic (transferable) skills and structure such as clarifying results, getting real about where you are and what you have, making good choices, taking bold action, showing grit and the persistence to keep climbing when things get tough, and the commitment to follow through to whatever summit/result you've set for yourself.

Commitment is a key generic skill!

Commitment Coaching helps you clarify and commit to goals/results that truly matter in life, work, relationships, business … whatever!

As I describe in my e-book THRIVE! Create What Matters In Challenging Times, commitment helps you navigate life's messy complexity, create what matters with whatever you have, and find your way to real, lasting, and fulfilling success.

"On Commitment" - The Commitment Quote, by W.H. Murray

This quote, or commitment poem, is actually a passage from W.H. Murray's account of the 1950 Scottish Himalayan Expedition in The Story of Everest.

Quote: Until one is committed, there is hesitancy ...

Murray describes moving beyond problem solving, looking risk in the eye, and committing to a compelling goal — without knowing how to pull it off!

Commitment empowers the team to engage their challenge. It helps them overcome adversity, build resilience, and give their best effort.

Although they didn't summit, each felt success the moment he committed to try Everest.

"I was afraid to commit. I dabbled, but never jumped in fully. Afraid I'd miss opportunities. Commitment coaching changed that changed. As my generic competence and confidence grew, I got clearer about what I wanted. Practicing made it real. I set up my landscaping business. I married my sweetie of many years. And I'm gonna be a Dad. Bam! Never been happier!"

– S.R. Kaleff, Vancouver, BC
