I presented in-person recently, and quickly realized that I’d forgotten some of my best practices.
Don’t get me wrong, the talk was well-received, but I was aware the entire time that I wasn’t feeling as grounded and present as I have in the past.
This video gives three best practices for speaking in-person… ones I’d forgotten about after so many years of speaking virtually.
If you don’t already know I am a nut about time blocking and time management!
Here is a quick video of my one “no-matter-what” habit, and one change I made recently that is making a difference in my clarity and focus on a daily basis.
Recently I shared that I am committing to the niche of Coaches, but for 12 years, I didn’t have a niche and brought my business to multiple 6-figures anyway!
So if you’re stressing out because marketing gurus are insisting you niche or perish, take a breath. Let me share when NOT to pick a niche, why this is so important to the growth of your business, and what to do instead in order to get clients faster.
Over the holidays, I made my 2023 plans and they were instantly put to the test after two nights of insomnia. Here’s what I’m doing to fix it.
I have a jar where I keep notes of appreciation from clients, colleagues, and organizations. At the end of 2022, it was so full that I couldn’t fit one more in.
I was clinging to them. Hoarding appreciation. With no room to let more in.
And while I logically understand that gratitude is infinite and a crammed jar of notes will not prevent more from flowing in, I felt the need to (both literally and symbolically) create space for more.
So I let them all go. I burned them to ashes, keeping only one note.
Now I’m looking around for other things I can let go of, to make space for more ease, flow and gratitude.
What else am I clinging to and hoarding, embodying the belief that more may not be on the way?
It’s a little beat up, but this is my favorite Christmas tree ornament.
I love this for so many reasons. And my reasons have changed over the years.
As a child, I loved it because of how fancy I felt in that Winnie-the-Pooh dress.
As a teenager… ah, who am I kidding, all I cared about was eyeliner and boys as a teenager…
But now, it makes my heart roll on the floor laughing. (there really should be an emoji for this, don’t you think?)
Because it’s made out of a McDonald’s ashtray.
Yes, you read that correctly.
A disposable, aluminum McDonald’s ASHTRAY.
Can you imagine?
My parents were given a list (by a teacher, no less) of supplies for this craft project. And the main item was a McDonald’s ashtray?!
My brain is exploding. So much has changed. But the holiday joy is the same, year after year
However you choose to celebrate, I wish you moments like this to bring joy and delight to your holiday season.
