master certified coach: Doing Something Memorable: Making A Difference Part 2 - 12/05/07 01:29 AM
A few days ago, I wrote Making A Difference: Do something memorable! and Frances Flynn Thorsen commented she was going to creat a list of 100 different ways to do this. She started her list and has a nice start with 8 items
I thought it might be fun to expand here to create an "add a memory" list so we'll all have some great ideas.
Fran has given us 8. Here are some more:
9. Take a child to see Santa
10. Invite a friend to lunch
11. Make Jelly
12. Make popcorn & string garlands. Best if done with others
 
What traditions to you have or what ideas can … (11 comments)

master certified coach: Motivational Quotes - 12/04/07 11:37 PM
I had a great screensaver put together for me a few years ago. It has over 270 Motivational quotes. The funny thing is, the right quote seems to appear on my screen at EXACTLY The right time!!!!But, sometimes you can get too successful with your marketing:
I had a virus a couple of years ago and went to get a perscription filled at the pharmacy in the grocery store, rushing in with no make up, feeling and look lousy. When I handed the perscription to the pharmacist, I got a long look and then ,"Are YOU Joeann Fossland?" When I said yes...she … (9 comments)

master certified coach: Backup????? What do you use? - 11/28/07 12:59 AM
Wow! this should go without saying, but I would guess fewer than 25% of the people I speak with are not on top of this. You probably have heard the saying that if your computer hasn't crashed...it will!!! When I teach the GRI Technology classes, I ask who is regularly backing up and find a lot of sheepish people who know they should!!!!Or, there are those who do now because they had an awful experience! How about you?
If you are not backing up regularly, do not make another tech purchase until you get this handled. Like Thumbdrives, the size of the … (10 comments)

master certified coach: How Strong is your PERSONAL Foundation? - 11/27/07 11:46 PM
We know that foundations are important when you want to build anything. In fact, the taller the building, the deeper the foundation. It really is no different when you are building a life!
Let me ask you, do you take better care of your car than yourself? Are you tired? Approaching burnout? And not much fun to be around? If you said yes to some of theses questions, it is time to shore up your own foundation. The bigger your goals, the more energy and focus you need. A strong personal foundation is your support system to achieve success.
 Focusing on your strengths. … (6 comments)

master certified coach: S.I.M.P.L.E - 11/25/07 11:52 PM
A few years ago, my fellow coach and friend Margaret Krigbaum, MCC and I decided to co-lead an all day seminar called Simple and it stood for:
Simple
Is
More
Pleasure
Less
Effort
We took the participants through a series of exercises and review of where in their lives they could create more pleasure with less effort! Cleaning up the clutter, setting boundaries, fine-tuning the little things. A great little 100 pt. checklist, called Clean Sweep,  from CoachU can be found on my website at the bottom of the page.
After you see the work to be done and start doing, fill out a list of 100 Things That … (8 comments)

It's usually the other way around!
 Today, there was a good article in the Tucson Citizen with the skinny on how to check to see if you are owed money. Might be a nice piece of information to pass along to your clients. I am sure they'll appreciate an agent that makes them money!!!

master certified coach: Motivational Quotes - 08/07/07 01:25 AM
I absolutely love reading quotes that get me thinking, keep me motivated and make me laugh. I have seen when working with my coaching clients, the ones who have the best mental outlooks are the ones who seem to have the easiest time. The Law of Attraction applies!
I had this screensaver made a few years ago as a promotional give away. It has been a big hit and I am happy to share it with you. It is virus-free and installs and uninstalls easily. You get 270 motivational quotes to help keep your mind filled with good food!!!A funny story: I … (4 comments)
