Mark Edward Brown now a Certified Coach

Mark Edward Brown's Coaching Certificate
This is my 300th post on the Mark Edward Brown Blog, I have almost twice as many comments (599) dating back to 2007 when I started this blog.

I am doubly proud of both my achievement as a blogger and also of my new certification as a Coach.

I have been very busy and began the process to achieve this particular certification before I left Korea last December.  Coaching is always something that I have enjoyed doing and I have been doing it in one form or another for most of my life.

If you read much of this blog you may have wondered what I do for a hobby or if I have any spare time, I can assure you that I don’t.  Aside from my Family and career as a Leader in the Military I guard and regulate my time to it’s fullest capability.

Becoming a coach was and still is the right thing to do and I will begin to coach clients on a part time basis very soon.  I have teamed up with Steve Fagan from Fagan & Associates and you can see my introduction at the bottom of this page:

The team that I have joined are all strategic thinkers and self-leaders, I am priviledged to count them as colegues and friends as well.

I will be blogging more in the future about coaching topics until I get my coaching blog up so stay tuned.

If you have questions about coaches or coaching be sure to leave me a comment and ask.  Also “Like” this post and tweet about it as well.

Most of all – thanks for reading,

Mark Edward Brown’s Spring Update 2012

Mark Edward Brown      I am now getting into a groove here in Oklahoma, it’s not a routine because my life and work are anything but “routine”.  There are activities that I enjoy doing which I feel keep me balanced and healthy, they are; jogging/running on a regular basis, working out with weights, reading, blogging etc.

Much of what I just mentioned takes a back seat to my work and family however I keep as good a balance as I can.  I enjoy my new assignment and I cherish the time I have to spend with my wife and kids.

I am also very entreprenurial and have been diligently studying to become a certified “Success, Leadership, and Life Coach”.  I have over 20+ years of leadership experience and the first 40 years of my life have been extremely successful plus I enjoy empowering others to reach for and attain success in their lives.

I have made a few changes here on the blog; I removed all services related to google because of their new privacy policy which in case you didn’t know is not based on your privacy, it’s based around them gathering as much information on you and using it to profit in the guise of being a benefit to you – not cool!

I added the latest book I am reading which is “Pro Blogger” by Darren Rowse, you can see that on the right hand side.

I removed the “Ask Mark” feature due to lack of use and spam comments by bots and other nefarious crack pots.

I added a link to my Daughter’s new blog “Rashell and Amber Brown’s Blog” on the right as well so go check them out and leave a comment.

There are allot of exciting things going on and I will post more as time permits.  Being back in the USA has been terrific and as the summer months arrive I will be looking forward to re-connecting with family and friends.

Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of the changes plus tell me if you would like to see a feature added that is not here.  Be sure to “Like” and “Tweet” this post and I will do the same for you!

Always with my best regards,

Mark Edward Brown

How Self Leadership Can Help You Change Your Life

SelfLeaderImage     Here are 3 words that may scare you; personal development, self help, and self improvement.  Depending on where you were raised, how you were raised and what you have chosen to be your over arching belief system there is no reason to feel ashamed for admitting that you would like to improve aspects or characteristics of your life or personality.  Everyone has weaknesses or shortcomings and it takes character to want to turn your weaknesses into strengths.

What I am about to share with you is just a small glimpse of what I have to offer as a Self Leadership Expert.

If your self confidence is low a small adjustment to make would be to start complimenting people around you. This practice will help you get notice and soon you will be liked which in turn will build your self esteem. By looking for good things that others do or in how they act, you indirectly enhance similiar aspects of your inner being as well.

Another way to increase your self worth is by making yourself more intelligent.  Read or listen to a book on your portable listening device a little bit everyday.  Leaders are readers so study something in your field of employment or some other material that will improve the way you communicate with other people. By broadening your horizons, you will build the confidence to speak with new knowing that people around you will notice.

Constantly seek out new and additional ways to learn how to correct or change the aspect or character flaw that detracts from your self image.  Become your own self leader and you will be able to take the first steps toward improving your life more then you ever have at any other time in your life.

I must inform you that it all starts with YOU, no one is going to walk up to you at suggest ways for you to change for the better.  If you have that little voice inside your head, heart, or soul that reminds you when you are doing self destructive activities, perhaps you should start listening.

I also recomend Self Leadership coaches however, I caution you on seeking out and hiring the first guy or gal that you come across.  Success, Life, and Leadership coaches are a dime a dozen now days.  Only work with someone that you know will help you, if their fees are to high then they are not right for you.

If you like this type of leadership content or would like a recomendation for a self leadership coach, leave me a comment and let me know.  I would also like to read your comments on ways that you have improved characteristics about yourself or others with success so leave me a comment and let’s start a dialogue,
