...Coaching When we look at the role of coaching and how it speaks to a person’s spiritual life we first must understand the definition of coaching. Whitmore (2001) quoted Gallwey’s definition of coaching as “Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them” (p. 8). There are several definitions of coaching that attempts to pinpoint or identify the various types of coaching. Harkavy (2007) shared what the purpose of a coach is, “Your purpose as a coaching leader is to add the most value to the people you lead and to help them improve” (p. 4). This definition of what a coach does give us the responsibility to care about people enough to see them grow and develop. A simple definition of coaching is, “…Coaching is the art and practice of enabling individuals and groups to move from where they are to where they want to be” (Collins, 2009, p. 14). Goldsmith, Lyons & McArthur (2012) stated, “With a sound appreciation of business and interpersonal dynamics, a good coaching is simply a process person who can establish rapport, is informed about the executive’s immediate environment, is honest and courageous in providing feedback; is a good listener; ask good questions is visionary and analytical and is a good planner who seeks follow up and closure” (p. 12). This definition of coaching gives the coach the responsibility to empower people to raise the bar in their lives and in their performance...

...Home: What is it to You? Home. A simple word spoken by many every day. Home. A place to some, a state of mind to others. Home. Somewhere that many are running to, and even more are running from. Home. What is it, and where can it be found? Home. It lies within us all, but sometimes is very hard to find. Home. A place sometimes hard to remember, and often difficult to forget. Home. Webster’s defines home as one’s place of residence. This seems to be a very simple definition of something that is seemingly much more complex. It seems that many have a hard time describing home and an even more difficult time defining it. The world has many quotes about home, some positive such as “Home is where the heart is”, or “Home is where you hang your hat”. Others not so much, as Thomas Wolfe stated, “You can’t go home again.” It can be surmised that Deborah McDowell felt all of these things about home. McDowell’s life raises the question; just because you leave somewhere does it cease to be home? Many people own a home, a house with which they reside, and in time it may become their “home”, the place they identify with emotionally. But does anywhere truly ever replace that first “home”, is it ever truly forgotten? In Deborah McDowell’s case it seems the answer is a resounding “no”. McDowell tries to suppress her thoughts of home, but even the simplest things can bring those memories rushing back. It seems that when trying to forget home it acts as a bully who will not...

...retiring component that is correctly measured. Daly, Speedy, & Jackson (2009) states that Fealy argues that caring does not form the series of activities, but it forms the ways of taking actions that depend on the framework and is clear on the values. Leininger argues that caring is the most essential and critical ingredient to any curative process. Leininger, further dismisses the prospects of the responsibility to encourage nurses to get this concept of caring. Alternatively, Leininger prefers the concept to be acquired, as it is the basic component of the cultural life. Akansel, Watson, Aydin & Ozdemir (2013) makes the concept of caring as the correct and most appropriate ultimate of nursing. This simple definition connects to the aforementioned definition and has connections with that of individual center care that accentuates on the...

...Feminine Courage Modern society dictates us that word courage has to be associated with such concepts as power, straight, masculinity and of course with the stronger sex. Living in such an open world, which is not afraid to accept non-traditional sexual relations, denial of the God’s being or other previously unacceptable views and opinions, we must recognize the existence of the phenomenon of women’s courage. If we look for definition of courage in modern dictionaries, most of the time it will be explained as “The ability to do something that frightens one; bravery” or “Strength in the face of pain or grief” (Oxford University Press,2016). This word originally came from Middle English, meaning denoting the heart, as the seat of feelings....

...A definition of myself. A seventeen year old female athlete in high school. That is what anyone walking down the street would say, but that random person walking down the street is not writing this essay. So, I am going to start over. A definition of myself. I am temperamental, I get aggressive, I tend to trust easier than I should, I forgive too easily, I am almost always angry, the glass tends to be half empty, I throw fits, my words tend to be venom, and I do not know who I am. I cannot pinpoint where I fit into society and what my purpose is. I do know that I am an aggressive teenage girl that runs Cross Country and Track, I am a girl that sings in my school's choir, I am a girl that tapes and bandages together wounded athlete in my school's athletic activities, I am a girl that enjoys listening to music so loudly that people have to repeat themselves at least twice before I can form a coherent sentence in my head, and I am a girl that is still trying to form a cohesive definition of myself....

...context there is a phrase that says "it is essentially difficult to define man," yes, thats true because man is the most complex form of being created by God. Man has its own style of manipulating things according to what he want to do. It is essentially difficult to define man. This perspective aims to revisit and challenge, in all humility , our perception of human nature; and the possibility of achieving a productive society through the actualization of a person's highest potential. Eddie Babor discussed in his book “The Human Person, Not Real But Existing” that the human person have several characteristics, among which are the following: rational, free, unique, social being, and sexual. Considering the characteristics, and their definitions, given above, it can be deduced that a human person is the ultimate expression of the Supreme Being that has the freedom, capacity and ability to reason, reflect and relate to his co-existence. Maslow‟s theory pointed out that a person must satisfy first the other lower needs before he can actually realize his self worth and potential. Accordingly, when lower needs are unmet, the person cannot fully devote himself to fulfilling his potentials. He theorized that self - actualization is the driving force of human personality. Thus, a person cannot appreciate intellectual and aesthetic learning when the person is hungry and his safety is difficult to obtain. Furthermore, every person must be guided by the understanding that he exists...

...Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being[clarify]. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind and body, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in "good health" or "healthy").[1] The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."[2][3] Although this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete," it remains the most enduring.[4][5] Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.[6][7] Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The term "healthy" is also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts for the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments...

...country a nation? What is a nation? In this essay, i will attempt to gain an understanding of what a nation is, and why Canada is in fact a nation, not merely because we meet certain criteria, but because we, as Canadians, believe it is so. To define the term “nation” is quite a challenging task. The Student’s Oxford Canadian Dictionary defines a nation as, “a community of people forming a state or inhabiting a territory”. Compared to other resources, this is fairly a simple one. The same dictionary defines a state as “an organized political community under one government” By these definitions, Canada clearly classifies as a nation. Canada is without a doubt, a nation because the country has satisfied the dictionary’s requirement. Still, not all definitions are so clear. One of the most commonly accepted definitions of a nation is one that is ripe with complex and challenging requirements. These definitions often involve a group of people who share a common culture, ethnic origin and language, and they must either possess or be actively seeking an independent government. Even at a quick glance, we can see that Canada does not meet all of these...

...URI 25 September 2013 Oedipus Tragic Hero Webster’s dictionary defines a hero as a person, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Although this definition accurately describes Oedipus’ character, tragic hero is more of an apt description. A tragic hero is defined usually by the following: One, A man of noble stature. Two, A selfless man who is not afraid to come under scrutiny. Three, The hero honorably receives the punishment given to him. From the beginning to end of the play Oedipus The King, by Sophocles, Oedipus truly defines himself as a hero, a tragic hero. Oedipus is first introduced as the sole ruler of Thebes. Kings/Dictators are usually looked down upon due to their brash and selfish behavior, but Oedipus is the opposite. A priest say, “Therefore, O mighty power, we turn to you: find us our safety, find us a remedy, whether by counsel of the gods or of men. A king of wisdom tested in the past can act in a time of troubles, and act well. Noblest of men, restore life to your city! “(Sophocles 2) when Oedipus makes a declaration to save the city of Thebes from the ongoing plague. The priest calls him the “Noblest of men” in marvel, at the fact, a man of such high stature and importance takes the time to address the concerns of his people. The words used to describe Oedipus such as liberator, noblest of men, boldness, and mighty power show that the people of Thebes rely on and look to Oedipus for safety...

...Definitions A definition is a statement that gives the meaning of a concept. For simple and relatively concrete concepts such as ‘Table’ we can understand them without definitions by simply seeing them. But most concepts are abstract and complex and to understand them definitions are important tool of knowledge. A definition does the following functions: a. It clarifies the boundaries of a concept. b. It clarifies the relationships among concepts. c. It clarifies the referents of the concepts. Vagueness and Ambiguity A term is ‘vague’ means it is hazy obscure and imprecise for example the words love, happiness, rich or poor are vague. We can rarely tell whether they apply to a given situation or not. How rich one has to be in order to be called rich? An ‘ambiguous expression’ is one that can be interpreted as having more than one clearly distinct meaning in a given context for example: words such as proper, light, critical, bank can be used ambiguously. If one were to describe an action as proper, does this mean proper in moral sense or proper in the sense of being socially acceptable? The difference between ambiguity and vagueness is that vague terminology allows for a relatively continuous range of interpretations, where as ambiguous terminology allows for multiple discrete interpretations. A vague expression creates a blur of meaning where as ambiguous expression mixes up otherwise clear meanings. Definitions and their purposes Definition is a group...

...“By definition a miracle can never happen.” Discuss. The known definition of a miracle is “an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.” However, Peter Vardy in The Puzzle of God gave four different definitions provided by many different scholars, including Aquinas and Hume, with Hume believing they are impossible but cannot be disproved compared to Aquinas believing they are completely possible even within the system of natural activity. What a miracle is can be debated forever due to the many different interpretations of who and why they come about, with psychologists such as Freud arguing they are just an illusion and Wiles arguing that miracles do exist but not as a result of God’s will. The real question is whether the laws of nature can ever be broken and to that affect – do miracles define themselves into non-existence? The definition of a miracle provided by Hume is “a transgression of the laws of nature brought about by the volition of a deity.” He believes that miracles are simply an interposition by some invisible agent, but he however goes on to challenge this definition with his theoretical case miracles which argued that the laws of nature we experience are constant and therefore cannot be changed, In response to this, as the laws of nature cannot be defied, (if they could be broken they would not be laws), by Hume’s definition, miracles can never happen, as laws of nature...

While on the other popular culture is considered a working definition in that even though there is technical definition is constantly being redefined and fine tuned. Popular culture encompasses the most immediate and contemporary elements of a social, economical or ethical group.
