Personality & Character
I’m sometimes asked what the difference is between “personality” and “character”. In ordinary speech, the words are often used interchangeably but a look at their origins can help us understand and appreciate the difference.
Ambition & Passionate
How little we know of the words we use so easily. I sometimes share with my clients the origins of commonly used words – words likely to arise in a coaching session – when I feel it will bring something of value to the thinking. “Ambition” and “passionate” are two good examples to begin with.
