“I care about how you’re feeling. I care about how you’re thinking. And what you believe and expect will significantly impact those feelings. ” A leadership concern. – Richard Anton Counseling, Calgary.
This is Your Moment
Decompress right now. You’ll feel better instantly. Start feeling self-confident again right now. Something to consider from Anton Counseling & Health Psychology: Try sitting quietly and turning off all stimuli. Nothing visual or auditory. Just close your eyes and turn off the entire world for a moment. – Richard Anton Psychology Calgary
Isn’t a moment of your time worth it to regain your “best self?” – Richard W. Anton, M.A., B.A., Dip Ed.
Reflect and Contemplate
Then be honest with yourself. It will not only alter your perspective in a healthy manner, it will generate a specific quality of energy. One that you’ll be proud to share with others. The outcome is likely to be great, too. – Richard Anton Calgary
Generate a Powerful Psychology
Wouldn’t you like to feel the effects of having a stronger psychology? You can generate one. It will take effort, of course. You’ll practice to the point of becoming disciplined. Over time – because you can’t simply change over night – you’ll refine how you think of life. Through your beliefs and expectations will emerge hope and optimism. You’ll begin to see opportunities rather than problems. – Richard Anton
Realize How Truly Capable and Unique You Are
These days, there are many ways for us to develop ourselves & expand our horizons but few of those methods achieve the outcomes that you really need to move your career forward.
In fact, here are a few common limitations:
- Low completion rates: Most learners don’t finish the online courses they start, with completion rates varying between 5%-15%.
- Easily forgotten material: Learners have a tendency to forget 75% of new information learned after only 6 days, especially when faced with real world crises.
- Low trust levels: 67% of all executives report that their leadership development programs don’t work.
- One size fits all: on-line and in-person learning courses & workshops are designed for large groups of people and, therefore, cannot support individual needs.
Additional Advantages
Coaching is uniquely designed to overcome the challenges presented by other methods because it is:
- Personalized: Coaching is tailored to the strengths and opportunities of the individual in the context of their day-to-day work.
- Safe: People grow the most in the context of trusted relationships where they feel psychologically safe and supported.
- Accountable: Regular meetings to check in on progress towards goals help individuals stay committed to their plans for growth.
Self-Confidence
If having greater self-confidence is something you think about, perhaps “leadership coaching” might help. Your current focus may be what is maintaining your current undesirable situation. Unstick your situation by turning toward the unknown “potential.” Consider an appointment to discuss precisely how.
Relationship Coaching Just for You
You may be searching for “relationship coaching.” Would you like to learn how to give your spouse what she says she needs? Improve your self-talk and practice a few new leadership/relationship skills. You’ll do great!
Even if you’re not discussing it, perhaps “divorce” is in your mind. But that’s not the outcome you’re seeking. Book an appointment for yourself – Anton Counseling.
Stress and Anger Regulation
There are many ways to describe what you might be going through, but knowing how to maintain your composure in challenging situations can require more skill than you realize. It’s going to take practice, not only awareness. What will you practice?
I Believe in You
Like in hockey, golf, or any performance situation, getting good at something requires practice. You know this. But what precisely do you need to practice? Keep your relationship intact by learning the language of emotional intelligence. Consider “relationship coaching.”
Let’s start on the right track. Even though I have over 20 years of experience, I do not know precisely what you are going to do that will ultimately fulfill your needs. Therapy is a dynamic process. Sessions’ content will change, evolve, and reflect your concerns. Your actions and subsequent challenges will also evolve. Solutions are “co-created” between us, but your skill level is on you and your ability to follow-through & practice.
Experience Counts
Therapy is a creative process, not a repeatable recipe, but an exploration to discover your inner strengths or personal best, and most importantly, an introduction to a discipline. When you’re at your BEST, your choices and decisions are more likely to be your best.
If you prefer a more formalized approach, in addition to talk therapy, I have access to many marvelous assessments that might unearth your strengths, helping you on your journey. We can explore responsible leadership, high performance, emotional intelligence, even anger management. Jump right into coaching or begin with an individual session. The choice is yours. – Richard W. Anton, M.A., B.A., Dip Ed, Anton Counseling.
We Must Evolve
I take a leadership approach to mental health, but we can also discuss your relationships and add a little spirituality into every session. Personal and professional development: its just my thing. Its what I do. Consider working with someone with experience on both sides of the therapeutic process who can assist you to self-improve.
Being compassionate and connecting with others is critical to our lives, both personally and professionally. Demonstrating empathy in the workplace — a crucial part of emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness — also improves human interactions in general and can lead to more effective communication and positive outcomes in both work and home settings. – Centre for Creative Leadership

Leadership is an Art Form
As a leader, you’ve been developing a specific style right from the beginning of your career. This happens to everyone. Make certain that your style is unfolding in the right way.
Holding a leadership position, without knowing how to lead might cause anyone to beg, borrow, and steal – even stoop to using aggression, manipulation, and intimidation – to make others bend to their will. On the top end of the same spectrum are those who have been schooled in leadership and can easily “be idealized as uplifting individuals in whose embracing presence we feel assured and whose courage we borrow for our own.” – Cooper & Randall – Get a pacesetter on your team.
