The Coaching Lens recently delved into the thorny topic of dealing with hard truths and difficult situations. We’d like to share Coach Carole Murphy’s insightful summary, in which she includes a favourite quote from Dr Marcia Reynolds.
We find many reasons to love this quote by Richelle E. Goodrich. We love the idea that we can purposefully choose to view the world through a lens of gratitude and in doing so, create a mindset that more clearly sees possibilities and builds resilience. Even better, scientific research tells us that a consistent brain pattern of gratitude changes neuroplasticity. It rewires mental habits and strengthens neural pathways that support a more positive outlook. When we’re looking through a lens of gratitude, the vivid colours and opportunities appear right in front of us, just waiting to be discovered.
We'd like to share some quotes that we hope offer insight when times get tough. Perceiving struggle and failure through the alternative lens of hope gives us new options and strengths to move forward. “To live without hope is to cease to live.” – Fyodor Dostoevsky; “Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” – Zig Ziglar; “The struggle you’re in today, is developing strength you need tomorrow. Don’t give up.” – Robert Tew
In sharing these quotes that resonate with us, the coaches at The Coaching Lens wish for you the strength to be good to yourself, to find relationships that are a balance of connection and freedom and to nurture the peace within yourself.
At The Coaching Lens, we believe resilience is one of the most powerful life strengths we can develop. Having resilience means cultivating our inner strengths so that in the face of challenge, crisis or trauma, we have the wherewithal to adapt and take actions that move us forward.

Dealing with change is a constant for any team, and their challenges have been tough. Through a series of interactive team workshops and individual leadership coaching, The Coaching Lens has been able to…
