coaching: Give Up Being REASONABLE!!!! - 08/23/11 05:12 PM
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
I got the invitation to my 45th High School Reunion at St. Paul’s School for Girls in Baltimore for this October and thought….while it would be fun to go…money has been tight with our recent move and I still have so much to do. So, I decided it didn't make sense to go. I am Class Secretary this year & so the … (8 comments)

coaching: What Makes YOU Happy and How do You Know? - 05/10/11 07:56 PM
I have been gleefully gushing how happy I am with my new house to my husband, Bub. He replied the other day when I said, "I am Soooo Happy." .."How do you know?" That got me thinking.
Is happiness about the external? About the right circumstances? About wanting, getting & having things? All of these are nice, but what happens when things don't quite line up?
Can you still be happy?
My granddaughter, Lily, and I talk about this fairly frequently when she just has to have something. Through the eyes of a 9 year old, having the right things and having … (3 comments)

coaching: Reputations…Made or Lost! My Saga of Lowe’s, Customer Service, Twitter & Facebook! - 08/25/10 09:33 AM
After it was all said and done, my plumber, Norm from Mister B’s said it really scared him what happened…..He said he realized that even if he had done a great job for someone and they thought he charged too much, they could post something negative and it could impact his reputation! By the way, if you need a plumber in Tucson-call Norm!
Social Media makes reputation management more important than it has ever been. Situations can occur quickly and get out of hand if not monitored and addressed swiftly.
A prime example of how Cosmic Shift Happens™ *

coaching: Productive Not Just Busy! - 04/30/10 09:20 AM
It's so easy to get pulled into activities that aren't the highest and best use of our time, isn't it??? If you aren't clear on your priorities and good at setting boundaries with others, the day can go by and you wonder at the end what really got accomplished. I've been using this simple technique to keep myself and my client's focused:
Joeann's Rule of Three:What 3 things, if you took action on them today will give you the biggest payoff towards your LONG TERM goals?
Here's what to do:
•· At the very beginning of the day, choose … (0 comments)

coaching: Attitude, Contrast & Being Extraordinary - 04/16/10 03:34 PM
The ordinary person waits until they are feeling a certain way to take actions; the extraordinary person, knows they can shift their "feelings" into a more positive place any time they want, by noticing them and then taking actions that make them feel better. Self-awareness is the difference between getting stuck with feelings and using them to your benefit.
You've probably heard "what you focus on expands." And, yet, when you have an unwanted circumstance or situation, it can be hard not to focus on the negative parts of it. Either the outrage that "this" has happened or the feelings of … (3 comments)

coaching: Spring Cleaning #4-Relationships - 04/03/10 06:17 PM
Have you been attacking all those areas of clutter and tolerations in the last few weeks? How is it feeling?
This week, let's look at relationships. The last area of My March Freebie: the Clean Sweep AssessmentTM is all about relationships. I wrote a blog post a few months ago about upgrading the energy of the people around you. It was a featured post here on ActiveRain and really turned out to be a charged subject!
The 25 Clean Sweep Relationship items give you areas to take a look at and see how you are doing. Do you make requests rather than complaining? … (4 comments)

coaching: Spring Cleaning: Your Well Being - 03/17/10 12:48 PM
You may wonder what your health and well being have to do with Spring Cleaning. Actually, taking very good care of yourself is the most important job you have. In coaching, we call it extreme self-care. This isn't being selfish; it is recognizing that a healthy you is a prerequisite to your performance and ability to thrive. A strong foundation, good habits and practices can make the difference between facing each day with delight and expectation and facing the day just to get through it.
Twice last week, I had conversations with friends who have a parent and children whose needs … (4 comments)

coaching: Spring Cleaning: The Physical Stuff - 03/09/10 09:57 AM
This month...I am all about Spring Cleaning! Join me in Clearing the Clutter this month and you'll be glad you did. Our environment impacts our energy! My travelling and speaking life means my home is often a hotel room! And while many will say the road warrior life is trying, my gypsy blood loves the variety. When we were in Hawaii in January at Kona Village, the Polynesian hut (or hale in Hawaiian) that we stayed in was so ascetically pleasing...I noticed my energy upon waking was different: impacted by the simplicity and beauty. My mind was clearer, more focused and … (5 comments)

coaching: Are You Ready???? - 01/05/10 04:26 PM
"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." - GK Chesterton
I love ending of one year and the beginning of a fresh new one! Last week, the subscribers to my Tuesday Tips Newsletter got a beautiful New Year's card instead of a post because Annette, my wonderful virtual assistant www.VirtualAnnette.net saved me while I was on the sickbed with pneumonia. I love having support! And even more... love more having the ability to let go and let people help me. Thank you Annette!!!
So, this ending of a year and beginning … (0 comments)

coaching: The Rant of the Season - 12/09/09 08:13 AM
I've said it before: I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! I love the whimsy. I love the joy. The carols. The thoughtfulness of others. And, I do love presents....But let's STOP buying and giving STUFF!
This week, I listened in on an interview my wonderful step-daughter, Coco Fossland conducted with Sue Rasmussen on Clearing the Clutter. This just seemed such relevant timing. Letting go of stuff... of physical stuff.... of old stuff that no longer "fits" figuratively -- and literally -- of relationships, of beliefs.
Wow! During the call, I expanded my notion of what clutter was and realized how very much of it … (57 comments)

coaching: Getting The Most from the NAR Convention - 11/10/09 10:23 AM
I am SOOOO excited.
And, of course, if you know me, you know I get enthused pretty easily! My reason today is that I am getting ready to fly to San Diego to spend a week with old and new friends, to network, learn, laugh and look at all the new tech stuff at the meetings and the EXPO. I have been to every Convention since 1988 and it is one of the highlights of my year. It is my way of really understanding the BIG picture and hearing from people what IS working. There are a few things I … (4 comments)

coaching: Are you Inspired???? - 11/04/09 08:34 AM
A couple of questions today...
Who inspires you? First, I think of people like Mother Theresa, and Ghandi and Zainab Salbi, Greg Mortenson and Coco Fossland. This morning on Twitter and Facebook, my good friend Karin Hanna posted a tweet with a link to a blog article and a YouTube video. Catherine Bolt and her family have identified something they are passionate about and they are making a difference! What a gift she has given to her children to involve them in seeing they matter and they can make an impact on the world. Take a minute right now and write … (7 comments)

coaching: Creating Miracles - 10/30/09 08:39 AM
Three Cups of Tea"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." - Mother Teresa
I love reading and being inspired by unreasonable people who have a dream and set about to make a dent in the world! Often, against all odds and logic, their taking action shifts the direction of the future. I recently finished Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. A mountain climber … (5 comments)

coaching: Another Freebie! - 10/29/09 10:23 AM
Free Think And Grow Rich
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill has been responsible for more self-made success stories than any book I know.
It's the best description of success techniques, the best description of the success mindset, and the best description of setting (and achieving) goals I've ever seen.
Much of today's Law of Attraction work is just another spin on the sound advice from this book. My friend, Vic Johnson, is currently giving away 1 Million copies! How cool is that?

coaching: Kick Back or Kick Ass? - 09/22/09 10:57 AM
There are 100 days left in 2009. You have a choice right now to coast through the Fall and Holidays or to take charge and decide this will be the best quarter of the year. While many agents are feeling the busy part of the year is now gone and they "know" things are slower over the holidays....the smart agents are seeing where the opportunities are and seizing them. Instead of kicking back, you can ramp up a blitz for your sphere, your farm area, or your client base. Plan a client appreciation party or just take a client out to … (8 comments)

coaching: Rules, Rules, Rules During Week 2 The Great Norwestern Vacation - 06/20/09 05:31 PM
Do you love rules or hate them? I usually fit into the latter class, as the speeding ticket I got in Washing can attest!
As a matter of fact, the phrase,"I'd rather ask forgiveness than permission" is one I thought was invented for me! It captures a certain zest for going for it that I've espoused and embraced. How do you feel about rules? And then, there are other people's rules and your rules...
This week I am breaking my rules.
You see, it was my intention to write a little every day about this vacation/trip. I did pretty well last week, but … (2 comments)

coaching: Baltimore Divas and Books, Books, Books! - 05/23/09 12:59 PM
I had a great time in Baltimore last week with Inman Columnist and Speaker Extraordinaire, Bernice Ross and ActiveRainer and Agent Extraordinaire, Margaret Rome. Margaret was the reason I joined ActiveRain, back in 2006 when there were fewer than 20,000 members. She is an early adapter and always thinking and strategizing for what coming up next! I was honored and excited to be able to be part of a 3 hour social media learn fest!
I can't thank Margaret enough for being the hostess and making it happen! She's got some great pictures posted and a little more about the message of the day on … (2 comments)

coaching: Top 10 Tech Tools: Do YOU Use Them? - 04/29/09 01:51 PM
Allen Hainge is a great technology instructor and connector of tech divas and wizards!Here is one of his articles with some great resources!Thanks Allen
Via Allen F. Hainge, CRS (AFH Seminars):
Fact: agents who use today's technology to meet the needs of today's consumer make a better living and live better than agents who do not.
Fact: most agents do not use today's technology to meet the needs of today's consumer!
One reason why most agents do not use today's technology effectively is, I believe, that there is so much out there to choose from, too much. Agents are not sure what … (2 comments)
