Questions Coaches Should Ask for a Successful 2nd Half of 2024

by

You know me… I’m a total geek when it comes to planning, so let’s take a minute to evaluate your year so far and set you up for a strong finish in 2024!

Ready to dive in?

Here are four key questions to unlock your best year yet:

1. What do I WANT for the second half of 2024? Start by reviewing the goals you set at the beginning of the year. Are they still relevant and exciting?

2. What happened in the first half of the year? Reflect on your actions and results. Which strategies worked, and which didn’t? Were there any surprises?

3. What needs to change? Based on your reflections, identify necessary changes. Do your goals need adjustment? Does your action plan need a revamp?

4. What do you need to get rid of? My favorite question! Consider what’s no longer serving you—whether it’s a strategy, a mindset, or a habit. Simplifying your efforts can lead to significant progress.

Take some time to answer these questions honestly. Talk them over with someone in your support system, and don’t hesitate to reach out to me for personalized guidance.

Happy planning!

It’s the EXTREMES in Sales and Marketing that Keep You Stuck

by

I had two wonderfully eye-opening conversations recently, and they revealed a pattern that is SO common for coaches: being attracted to (or repelled by) extremes in sales and marketing.

Take a minute to walk through this with me: the extremes, the ensuing drama, and then how to find your genuine path through it all so you’re attracting more clients without the turmoil!

When You’re Freaked Out, What’s Your “Bird”?

by

I looked out my sliding door the other day and saw my cat slowly scuttling towards me. He was outside, something had clearly freaked him out and he was low to the ground, slinking towards me to dash inside as soon as I opened the door.

As I started to get up to open the door, he caught sight of a bird and instantly became a blur of movement and enthusiasm. (birds are his favorite thing!)

All the fear, gone in an instant.

What is that thing in your life? Your “bird” that frees you from your fear, sparks your joy and unleashes your boldness in the world?

Here’s mine – raw and unfiltered.

Coaching with Metaphors – Lyssa deHart

by

To celebrate International Coaching Week, I’m delighted to announce that Lyssa deHart will be sharing “Coaching with Metaphors” at no cost to my community!

We will delve into the role metaphors play in lighting up our clients.

She’ll share with you the role metaphors play in activating our clients’ brains and a bit of the neuroscience that links metaphors to brain activity and somatic anchoring.

She’ll highlight how a coach might tune their ears to metaphors, leveraging and harnessing your client’s metaphors to foster deeper engagement and insight.

She’ll ask for a volunteer, and do a 15 minute demo, then we can Q&A what people notice. This session is designed to be enlightening and fun, blending serious learning with the playful art of metaphor.
