I love coaching! I approach every new client with enthusiasm because I know I can take them to the next level... and beyond. I know if they stick with me, they'll have what they want in life. I work with people who are looking for more fulfillment in their lives, whether it's to enhance a life that's already satisfactory, or to implement a complete lifestyle or career change. I excel in coaching people from the inside out - making the internal changes as well as the external. My unique coaching process sparks insights, increases personal power and expands my clients' ability to create what they want in a way that lasts a lifetime.
I'm also a very practical and down-to-earth coach. I help clients organize and prioritize everything in their lives, from balancing home and work, to managing a family. And while they're getting organized, they learn how to stop procrastinating, get out of overwhelm and make time for self-care.
Just as in coaching, I have brought that same desire and passion into my writing and speaking. It's not just a career for me but it's a way to leave a great impact on this world.

Follow Up With Yourself
If you are a business professional of any kind, you understand the importance of follow-up with your clients and prospects. However, what about you? What about the importance of following up with yourself. You can read books, blogs and even go to seminars, but if you don't act on the newly acquire knowledge it is like shooting a dud bomb in the middle of a war. You lose!
Let me put it this way, would you learn all you can about your new client, her needs, her obstacles, and not get back with them to help them with the right products and services that you offer. Setting up your client for a potential sale would never do. Would you walk away from that money on the table. I think not. However that is what happens when you chase guru after guru, seminar after seminar and coaching product after coaching product and you never get results. It's not that the guru was wrong, or the seminar did not help, or even the coaching products were not a good fit. It's you!
Once you go to a seminar, buy a coaching program or follow a guru, follow up with yourself. Put a tip or two in to practice immediately. See how they work for you. Most tips take about 3-4 months to show results. so don't do for a week and convince yourself it did not work. Experiment with the techniques in social and professional settings. Dig for deeper motivation, remove negative thoughts and actions, try new props or substitutions, free yourself from drama. The point is Keep doing it until you find something that works for you. You are not made exactly like the person you gleamed it from so make it your own.
Here's something to think about actors build their technique one block at a time, starting with the basics , which is how coaching is designed to work. Master one technique at a time and build onto what you have learned with the next. You will start to see things are not as hard s you originally thought and you will start to see the plan work for you too. To borrow from Ali Brown, stop getting distracted by the BSO (Bright Shining Objects).

Read The Room (Rules Of The Game)
Don't be naive and think you can e above the politics in your life. No matter if it is on the job or in the family. Whether you want to participate or not, they are happening, so know the rules of the game and be prepared. When you are new to the group, just got promoted or planning the family reunion, even if your are the leader, it is essential to pay attention to the culture in the place. How do people communicate with each other? Do they do a lot of one on one in person, via email. phone etc? Do they have formal meetings or traditions they uphold? Do they just kind of get together at the spare of a moment? Do they argue and challenge one another or do they sit and peaceful come to their conclusion? Do they speak freely in public or kind of say things under their breath?
When you first arrive to a new workplace, a meeting, or visit a client, do more listening than talking for as long as possible. See, if people in the group are blogging - you may can pick up clues from their blogs. the easiest way to get off on the wrong foot is to inadvertently offend the new group. Take your cues from them and act accordingly. Are they serious? Do they sit with their hands folded? Do they raise their hands to speak? Do they tend to relax after the initial 15 minutes? What is the room telling you?
Be very aware of cultural differences, especially if you've recently relocated. Occasionally you'll get lucky and figure out the politics straightaway. Other times they may be a bit more hidden and mysterious. It can take 1 meeting or several months to get the true picture of the group. However, reading the room when it comes to your clients, co-workers, church, or any other group will allow you to move forward easier.
Now here's a tip for those who may not be in leadership. If you start with a new job and or a new group and you notice their is a negative vibe always. Since you do not have the authority to change that culture, it may be best to look for a new position somewhere else immediately. Remember bad communications can corrupt even the best of us. You don't want to lose yourself in the midst of moving a head.
