SeattleCoach Store at Amazon I keep this link up-to-date with all the required reading.
"The VIA Survey of Character Strengths" This will link you to the VIA Survey, a free, well-researched (but long) questionnaire that will help you to identify your integrated top five (of twenty-four) "Character Strengths". You will be asked to enter an email address and password so they can send you results. You won't receive other mail. This is part of research being done at the University of Pennsylvania related to "authentic happiness".
"The Enneagram" This is another temperament assessment that I really like. Lots of information about potential next steps in your spiritual and emotional growth. Once you're at the site, click on "Free RHETI Sampler" for the shorter test or the "Full RHETI Enneagram Test" for $10.
"Real Age" This interactive website provides a terrific "flyover" to help you assess--and improve--your overall fitness. Are you younger than your actual age?
Dave Ramsey My favorite no-nonsense adviser on managing money.
"How to Save Your Relationship" A great article to review if you're working to create a stronger connection with your significant other.
"The Body Blues" To help her many patients with the Body Blues, Dr. Brown and her colleagues at the University of Washington designed and developed the LEVITY Program, a program based on three simple activities, each one proven to boost women's mood and energy or tame their appetites.
"Caring for Your Introvert" An article that became a book about "the habits and needs of a little-understood group." Made me smile.
The International Coach Federation The professional organization for excellence in Coaching and Coach Training worldwide.
Practice Pay Solutions is a good resource for coaches who want to take credit card payments.
Last but not least, check out these great places to give back:
Opportunity International helps to create small businesses and cottage industries that the entrepreneurial poor of the world can own and run themselves. A great microfinance, microlending organization that fits our philosophy of growth, healing and strengths-based change.
Iraqstar picks up where the military and VA leave off by providing returning soldiers with the reconstructive, aesthetic and surgical procedures that can hasten a happier and more normal return to his/her existing military or pre-war life.
And this is just a great site for any returning warrior: http://www.notalone.com/.
