Trust is the foundation of coaching and personal growth.

It starts with self-confidence, which is very important for any coach or professional. When you believe in yourself and your knowledge, you can better help and support others. This self-confidence helps you remain calm and assured, even when things get tough. Remember, as a coach, you don’t need to have all the answers; your task is to help the client find their own answers.

The process, such as the GROW model (Goals, Reality, Options, Will), offers a structured approach that helps streamline conversations and provide direction. By following the process, coaches can work step by step towards the client’s goals. Trusting this process means believing that the client, by taking the right steps, will come to important insights. The model helps both the coach and the client stay focused and goal-oriented.

Finally, trust in the client is essential. Every client already has the answers within them, and the coach helps them find these answers. This means believing that the client can grow and change. By being genuinely interested in the client and their story, you naturally ask the right questions that help them move forward. This mix of self-confidence, trust in the process, and trust in the client ensures successful coaching and personal growth.

Have you ever noticed how some conversations with AI flow effortlessly, while others feel like speaking different languages? The secret might be simpler than you think, and it lies in a beautiful Japanese concept called “kaizen” — the art of continuous improvement.

Imagine having a friendly assistant who not only helps you today but also thinks about making tomorrow easier. That’s what adding a simple kaizen section to your prompts does. It’s like leaving a note in your recipe book saying, “Next time, remember to soften the butter first!”

Here’s the golden phrase I’ve discovered works wonders:

“Please look over the instructions and changes I’ve asked for in our conversation. Can you suggest ways to improve the original prompt so I won’t need to request these things next time?”

What if every prompt you wrote could learn and evolve? What if each interaction left your templates a little bit better than before? That’s the power of adding a kaizen section to your AI prompts.

What do I want Tana to be for me? The truth is, Tana can be anything you need it to be.

For me, Tana started as a simple notepad where I jotted down quick notes during my workday. Then, I began adding links and my thoughts on them, turning Tana into my personal knowledge hub. Next, I created projects and tags, and Tana became a versatile to-do list app. Now, Tana is also my research assistant, my brainstorming partner, my podcast script writer, and my contact manager.

Tana can be anything you want it to be. What do you want Tana to be for you?

On MacOS, you can easily hide files or folders by using the command line. This can be useful if you want to keep certain files out of sight without deleting them.

To do this, first open a terminal window. You can do this by pressing Command+Space, typing “Terminal,” and pressing Enter. In the terminal window that appears, use the command chflags hidden <file path>, replacing <file path> with the path to the file or folder you want to hide. This command marks the file or folder as hidden, making it no longer visible in Finder.

If you later decide that you want to make the file or folder visible again, you can use the same command with nohidden instead of hidden. This will make the file or folder visible again in Finder.
