This was my first appearance, June 2008, on Life Coach TV, a Manahattan-based cable TV show.
Bonnie Gurwiczs was the host. She’s a terrific colleague and fun fun fun.
I offer my definition of coaching, my background and experience as a coach, and I talk about the brain science behind my coaching.

I’ll have my second appearance from July/Aug of this year (2008) available by end of year — lots going on.
Enjoy!
It’s not often you get called by a reporter to talk about what you do. That’s just what happened when Claude Solnik of Long Island Business News (LIBN) called Paul McGinniss to get his take (among other coaches) about career coaching. (Click the "Read more…" link below to see the article.)
If you have questions about the article, give me a buzz or drop me a line. It raised a few questions for me…
This article features Susan Accardo, a colleague of mine who runs sales for Accu Data Payroll. It’s about "buddy punching" (probably not what you think) and the new advancements in tracking time and attendance for employees.
Would you like to know a secret to being more productive, more effective, more fulfilled?
Here it is: Use your brain.
Seems simple but it’s not. In fact, your brain is often “sabotaging” you without you even knowing it.
How?
Your brain likes to conserve energy. It doesn’t want to work hard. It wants to make everything habitual so it literally doesn’t have to think. For the most part, we couldn’t survive if the brain didn’t work this way. Can you imagine if every day you had to relearn how to walk, talk, drive, brush your teeth, etc.? While these routines serve us well, other habits we’ve created may not.
So how do you harness the power of the brain to get what you want?
You just need to understand how the brain works. (And, no, you don’t need to be a brain surgeon!)
“The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.” ~Colin Powell
“Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.” ~Robert Collier
“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.” ~Earl Nightingale
"The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work." ~Robert Frost
"Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting." ~Katharine Hepburn
