Dear Lorraine,
In this month's issue I'll help you find out if you're ready
to be coached and walk you through a little attitude
adjustment!
I'll also introduce you to my cool friend, Michelle
Lipowski, who is a passionate professional known for bringing
out the best in people through photography. And, check out my
Boomer 4-1-1 section to find preview information about my
upcoming speaking engagements.
Don't miss the new quick links box for "on rampers" (i.e.
people making a return to their career) and all of my
other FAB resources. Thanks for your feedback and for taking
the time to focus and tune in for your monthly reality check.
Now - - - Bloom on!

 Ready
to be coached?
World class athletes have coaches, why shouldn't business
owners and professionals have them, too?
Why not indeed?
The truth is not everyone is ready, willing, and able to be
coached. Find out more on my
website and/or answer my
questionnaire to find out if you are! |

Adjust Your Attitude by Quieting the Chatter
 It's
early morning and I'm standing on a long pier overlooking a
beautiful lake as the sun rises to change the sky from dark to
light. I'm surrounded by quiet except for the sound of my own
breathing. I'm not meditating, I'm practicing being present.
In anticipation of starting my day with more focus and
clarity, the quiet gives me a chance to get in touch with what
I want rather than what the people around me expect.
Eventually, the rest of the world wakes up and the chatter
starts to happen.

 20
Minutes in Memphis
I was thinking about how much work I personally put into
ensuring that my client's coaching experience with me is
a high-value proposition for us both. Quite often that means
I invest in comprehensive due diligence work up front and at
least one hour of post-follow-up work for every one-one
coaching or consulting hour I spend with a client. Thinking
about this
reminded me of . . . |
