Performance - What does Good look like now and in the future?
The Performance element of the internationally recognized PEOPLE model allows the Coach to begin to ask “the right” questions to inspire their client’s thinking. By asking the question of “What does Good look like for you?” opens up the client’s thinking in a way that has impact and meaning. The client will be inspired by the Coach to identify not just what “good” looks like now, but what do they see “good” looking like in the future. It moves the client from the current goal to goal planning and moves them in the direction of their whole life vision and they can visualize that everything they are working on is impacting “what good looks like”.
As a Coach it is important to stay out of the debate of “what good looks”, your job is to facilitate not to manipulate this concept. This is called facilitation without judgment.
Inspiration under all of the elements of the model comes in the form of the questions. By asking the right questions you will be inspiring your client’s thinking. As you will soon realize every element of the PEOPLE Model™ can relate to any issue your client may be facing, whether it is family, career, relationships, self discovery, financial, and wellness. Examples of questions that you might ask under this element are:
How would you describe “what good looks like” for you? Now or in the future?
Can you identify good? What does it look like? If you can’t, why not?
What does good look like for your career, now and in the future?
What does good look like for your family, your relationships, now and in the future?
Imagine the creative thinking and responses that a coach or business leader, team, or individual can work through by just asking the question - What does Good look like for you?

The PEOPLE Academy is a coming together of two businesses; Baysix Training, Inc. of the U.S. and People & Business in Mind Ltd. of the U.K.
The PEOPLE Academy founders realised that, based on years of experience with direct client engagement, there was a missing piece in both business and life coaching that would connect PEOPLE. The missing element was a universal business development strategy or framework that could be easily understood and implemented by all types of businesses and indeed all people.
The aim of the PEOPLE Academy was to create a powerful, impacting performance coaching system that could be easily understood and used by coaches and clients alike.

What About Wong's Involvement in Port of LA's Pier 400?
By: Janet Gunter | 29-07-2008
Why is no one looking into Mr. Wong's involvement in the Pier 400 debacle? Wong was also President of the Harbor Commission & conveniently switched to the airport commission. Meanwhile, $108 million dollars of Federal money which was awarded to the port under the predication of "public safety" for the creation of an "Energy Island" saw it's relocation site for hazardous chemicals turn into the single largest container facility in the US exclusively for Maersk-Sealand. It's been alleged that Wong was, in fact, working for Maersk. Public safety was surrendered for this commercial venture. Why is Wong's participation in this not being investigated? The Port is where Wong first encountered the Evergreen/Eva Air Corp. on which issue he was convicted. Does anyone really believe his hands weren't in other pots?

Mother and daughter
By: voterperson | 29-07-2008
OK yesterday Doreen?s mom (in her 80?s) and Doreen (in her 50?s) went to see ?Mama Mia? which was wonderful. Any way as the movie started all of a sudden Doreen got very hot and extremely dizzy. (A few years ago Doreen got dizzy and she made the mistake of going to a few doctors, each one misdiagnosed why she was dizzy and with the medication each doctor gave Doreen, Doreen kept getting worse until she went to one doctor who cured Doreen).Mom: ?What is wrong?Doreen: ?I feel dizzy?The dizziness stopped but Doreen was nervous a little bit throughout the movie. When the movie ended:Mom: ?Just wait until we get into the car I want to talk to you?Doreen: ?Well if we are going to have a fight I don?t want to hear it?Mom: ?Then take the bus?But Doreen got into the carMom: ?You have to stop drinking coffee?Doreen: ?I know I am going to stop?(And Doreen thought that would be the end of the conversation - wrong)Mom: ?I know you drink coffee for weight loss. You don?t need to lose any more weight?Doreen: ?But I was always skinny?Mom: ?Yes but now you are even skinnier?This got Doreen mad and they had some fight. When they came home her mom said nasty things to Doreen and Doreen said nasty things back to her mom. Mom: ?You need to gain weight?Doreen: ?No I don?t?Mom: ?It isn?t just the coffee but the way you eat? Doreen: ?I like salads?Mom: ?But when you order a salad they give you mostly lettuce and six strips of chicken you leave over two.?When Doreen went on the computer she found out the reason she was getting dizzy and it was because of the herb she is taking but Doreen cannot tell her mom that because her mom is very opinionated. THEN TODAY; Doreen: ?Mom do you want to know why I got mad yesterday it is because you made it sound like I wasn?t always thin?Mom: ?That is how you hear it?Then about five minutes later they had a terrible fight because her mom started to rant and rave.Doreen: ?All I wanted was for you to answer that one question?Mom: ?OK yes you were fat before - how?s that? - her mom said this in a tone to get Doreen mad and upset.My question: How would you interpret both conversations and would do you think Doreen misinterpreted the word ?any more?? Would you think ?any more? means that Doreen?s mom did not think she was thin in the past. GIVE DETAILS
Couple things actually... I have a 2000 Saturn ...

Couple things actually... I have a 2000 Saturn LS2. What effect would removing the insides of my cat have on my computer(I'm aware that this would be illegal). Also, how much harm would it be to replace the two manifold attached cats with a downpipe from both manifolds to one universal cat and rerouting the O2 Sensors to behind it? Just trying to avoid spending $1800 on a car that is barely worth that much.
