Because Spring Is the Time of Love

In my last post I wrote about celebration. Now I’d like to celebrate a success story of one of the people I coach. About a year ago, Bill shared with me an idea for an online relationship-enhancing tool. Bill is one of those folks, like so many of us, that just need someone firmly in his corner to take, and stay in, action. The next few weeks we tossed some ideas back and forth, and then Bill committed to take steps to have the system developed. Bill continued to set targets, making some, missing others, and processing whatever needed to be processed to remain in action.
Last month he released his online tool, LovePong – a free, fun online couples relationship game – and already it’s become a viral success. In fact, I mentioned it a few weeks ago in one of my posts, and recently I got a response from one of my readers. She had shared it around her office, and one of her officemates came in, brimming with happy tears, to share some heartwarming message her fiancée had shared with her using LovePong.
Now Bill is working on a version for corporations. It has the potential to enhance communications between coworkers in a very big way. I want to acknowledge Bill for taking action and for sticking with his vision. If you are currently in a romantic relationship, I invite you to try LovePong. It’s fun, it’s free, and it really works!
If you have an idea for a business that you’d like to discuss with me, drop me a line. I’d love to support you in any way I can.
A Client’s Perspective – How I Use My Coach
By Bill Weil
When Tom and I first began working together, he shared his perspective that a coach is simply a tool to add the greatest possible value to the client’s life and business. So how do I use my coach?
- As a nurturing, safe and affirming sounding board
- As an accountability partner, so that I honor my own promises
- As a nudge to get me off the dime and into action
- As a fellow brainstormer, with an unbiased, third-party view
- Finally, as a “negative energy clearer,” so that I can release all the raging emotions and conflicting thoughts in my head, find my clarity, and be productive.
I have benefited tremendously from Tom’s coaching and support. I would (and do!) highly recommend Tom to really anyone who is serious about taking their business, or their life, to the next level.

I really enjoy love pong;it’s a great way to open up communication channels between partners. I signed up for love pong and registered my partner. To my surprise he accepted and I was given my first assignment. It’s really fun and the anticipation of your partner’s response is very exciting. I passed it along to some of my girlfriends at work and to their surprise, the fiances quickly jumped on board. Love Pong was probably the best thing to happen for the bride to be who is getting married in a couple of weeks. I recommend this game to couples because it is fun and it can initiate conversations that wouldn’t have otherwise taken place.
Looking forward to the version of corporations!
What a great tool for relationships. I’m going to sign up, but I’ll ask my wife first to see what she thinks. I’m pretty sure she will go along with it.
As I was reading the beginning of this article I was thinking that it would be a great tool for the workplace too, then you mentioned that Bill was already working on it. I look forward to seeing what it’s like. Maybe I can highlight it on my blog.
Kristy you are a very caring individual to spread the word to your friends about Love Pong. I’m sure it will serve their relationships well.
Karl good show having the willingness to enhance your relationship with your wife this way. I used Love Pong and it is very powerful.
Bill thanks for offering this testimony to my coaching. I hope it inspires others to hire a coach.
