I was unable to find a list of Canon’s Nano USM lenses, so I thought I would create one. Nano USM (ultrasonic motor) is Canon’s latest generation of lens motors, combining the speed of USM motors with the silent action of their STM motors. If you’ve heard news of a new Nano USM lens and I haven’t listed it, please let me know below.
If you’re wondering about differences between STM vs USM Lenses, the following table shows a quick summary:
| AF Motor | Speed | Sound | Focus type |
|---|---|---|---|
| USM | Faster | Louder | Full time manual* |
| STM | Slower | Quieter | Focus by wire |
| Nano USM | Faster | Quieter | Focus by wire |
I believe there is some confusion over life coaching definitions and what life coaches do. Indeed, different coaches use the term “life coach” to mean different things. As a result, I’ve compiled a list of different definitions to help people get a better of idea of what I think proper life coaching is and how it might differ from other types of coaching. Additionally, I’ve added my comments on what points I agree with, disagree with and otherwise.
As a coach, I’ve been asked this question many times: “How does life coaching work?”
I don’t think this can be answered simply. Many factors influence the ways that different life coaches work with their clients. For example, the type and depth of a coach’s training can play a major part. Additionally, the coaching industry is unregulated, meaning that anyone can start a coaching business. Life coaches without accredited training (such as is approved by the International Coach Federation) might have very different offers to those trained by reputable organisations.
However, I have outlined some factors that I think are quite common between coaches who have training in line with coaching best practices.
The Chuo bus!
On a recent snowboarding trip to Japan, this is a question that I didn’t have a good answer for before arriving. Looking at Google showed a few results, including a train ride that required a changeover with JPRail, but nothing that inspired me with confidence. Upon asking the staff (who were locals) at my accommodation, I was informed that the Chuo bus was probably my best option. Upon leaving my accommodation, this is what I decided to do.
