Interesting New Term --- "Waypower"
It is most likely that everyone has heard the term "Willpower" before. If not, it means having the strength of will to carry out one's decisions, wishes, or plans. Today I heard for the first time the term "Waypower" and I just had to do some research on it. Waypower is the ability to find paths to reach your goals, or the ability to create an action plan to accomplish your goals. I found this new term to be very appropriate in the coaching and wellness world because in both arenas people (or clients) need to set goals and find ways to accomplish these goals.
If you think about it, in order to accomplish a goal you need to have both willpower and waypower. It’s not enough just to have the wish for something; you need the planand the means, too. On the other hand, all the skills to solve a problem won’t help if you don’t have the willpower to do it.
This is where a Coach comes in. A Coach is there to help you create the waypower. Once you have the waypower, the Coach is there to energize and motivate you so that you have the willpower to accomplish your goal. This works whether you are looking to lose weight, create a healthier lifestyle, change jobs, lower your golf score, etc.

Have you ever found yourself in the situation where you had a goal you wanted to accomplish, but didn't have either the willpower or waypower?
