EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITATOR USES QUIET OF END OF SUMMER TO REVAMP
People are taking their last break before children are in school and people settle in for beginning of fall. As a result, most of us find that the phones are quieter and the "important emails" have gotten less.
I have to admit, I have used this time to go through files, set my fall goals and decide who I will be getting in touch with to learn about their companies and share what I have designed for my life. It is amazing what one can learn over a cup of coffee.
It is also time for me to redo things in my website. Note you can now get "55 Networking Tips" free with just your email address and name...enjoy.
AND I have been sure to take a day off a week--last week I drove all the way around Mt. Hood after stopping at Timberline Lodge and seeing Oregon/Washington on a crystal clear day--ahhh...and that is one of the reasons I live in the NW....beauty surrounds us everywhere.
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:
Make a list of your teachers and mentors that have been instrumental in your life. What attributes did they have that you so admired? Do you have the same attributes.

EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITATOR MAKES DECISON TO JOIN THE NATIONAL SPEAKERS' ASSOCIATION (NSA)
Now that I am routinely making major speeches, keynotes, closing speeches on top of my training, I decided it is time to take a giant leap and join NSA. I am so pleased that they now have stringent guidelines in place to be accepted for I feel a strong need to be around professionals that can stretch me.
My friend, Scott Ginsberg, "The Name Tag Guy" has stressed to me from day one on how important the organization has been to his success. In a couple of weeks, I will be going to one of NSA's programs that talks about turning your speeches into books -- hmmmm, never thought of that.
This decision was mostly based on my wanting to keep growing---One of the Six Human Needs, according to Anthony Robbins. There is so much more we are capable of doing and I my decision was based on this strong need to learn/grow in my profession.
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:
If you are not a member of service club like Rotary,
Kiwanis or Lions, ask someone to take you to a meeting.
You may not decide to join; yet, I can assure you that you will
learn something and meet people in your community.

EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITOR HAS COFFEE ONE ON ONE
A couple of months ago I sat back and took time to think about how I wanted to organize my life. It seemed like I was on a treadmill. I knew there were a number of people that I really wanted to connect with over meals or coffee. Some of them renewing old friendships and others were "Let's get to know each other since our paths keep crossing."
I looked at my ACT program and started mapping out which people I wanted to call up. I set up a couple of these events a week. I quickly learned that not only was I renewing old friendships and meetings, I was also being given an opportunity to update people specifically on my talents and abilities.
More importantly, I was feeling totally alive!
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:
Keep a notebook with a lists of things you need to do. I mean everything. I labeled sections: Business, Personal and Household. Once things are written down I can forget about them for I know I will check the book daily.
