In what ways would you benefit from learning more about how you make decisions?  Sometimes, we have difficulty in this area because we face so much pressure from our environment that pulls us in directions that might take us further from our personal goals.

We feel like we should do this, or ought to do that, and in all of the madness of trying to live up to what other people think will make us successful, we forget the most important piece of the puzzle:  What do YOU want?

Morris Fisher, a student of the Coaching Cognition Certification Program, had to discover this “the hard way”.  In his early years, he didn’t have the community that he now enjoys through Coaching Cognition.

But now, his life experiences serve as first-hand verification of what he is learning from his community.  In fact, he has been learning many things through Coaching Cognition that he didn’t realize until now that he already knew!   Through the power of the coaching process, his own inner strengths and knowledge have surfaced in a way that benefits and fulfills him.

Coaching gave him the tools required for utilizing these strengths to give his life new meaning and passion.  Because of the personal strides he has made through learning about coaching and through peer coaching (where students coach each other), he has decided to share this empowering gift with others by becoming a coach himself.  Morris shares the opinion that you have to really know yourself before you can be of help to others.  Now, he is in a position that allows him to share his experiences so that others may also discover the art of knowing yourself.

One of the many ways Morris has chosen to share his wisdom has been to develop a framework from which people can make fulfilling decisions based on who they really are.

What do words like intimacy… worthiness… and significance mean to you?  Are you comfortable sharing your true self with others?  Do you understand what it means to have the right to your own time and space?  Do you feel as though your life has meaning (for yourself and others)?  How do these questions relate to making decisions?

In what Morris calls the “Three Pillars of Decision-Making”, he explains these concepts and how they directly affect the level of fulfillment you experience with every decision you make.  In our interview (below), Morris discusses the pillars in more detail and explains how you can apply this model to your own life.  You can also access more information about it on his blog at www.morrisfisherblog.com.

If you are interested in learning more about the coaching process and how you can enrich your life and business by hiring a coach, log into your back office and click on the Coaches icon to access the Coaching Cognition ‘beta version’ website.

Of course, don’t forget to stay tuned for the grand opening of the brand new Coaching Cognition website.  The first ‘unveiling’ of the site will happen at the Live Event in Portland, June 2010!
