For people to invest in your coaching, they need to trust you. They need to believe that you're great at what you do, that you're a good fit for them, and that you can help them create the result you promise. And for them to trust and believe in you, you need to trust and believe in yourself. But for many people, this is easier said than done. Not everyone grew up in an environment that encouraged them to believe in their own value and worth. And even if you are self-confident in many areas, you may also have areas where you aren't so...

Are you communicating with your clients and other business contacts in a way that maximizes connection and understanding? I recently had two experiences that reminded me how important it is to do that. One was with a client whose written communication style is somehow incompatible with mine. We've learned the hard way that we can send email after email, but no matter how clear we think we're being, something somehow still winds up being misunderstood. And yet, when I gave up on email and called him on the phone, even though... Read More

It's hard to believe I'm approaching the ten-year anniversary since starting my business! As I look back on this past decade and the lessons it's taught me, one of the things that stands out in my mind is the number of coaching and training programs I've gotten into, and the things that motivated me to sign up for them.

I've been guilty of that a few times myself, and it's certainly made me more selective about what I invest in!... Read More

But if any of the following is true for you, it might not be wise to try to do every part of every task. ... Read More

Don't you just love those times when technical difficulties add an extra EIGHT hours of work to your week? That's what happened to me recently. Here's how I handled the unexpected and unwanted interruption: 1. I used my frustration as fuel. I was fed up. I was PISSED. I didn't even feel the urge to take a break until I got this problem out of my hair "“ the first day the problem showed up, I wound up working until around 11:00 p.m. Instead of prematurely forcing myself to feel positive about the situation, or...
