joeann fossland master certified coach: The Best of NardiGras 2010 - 11/13/10 12:31 AM
I hosted a teleconference with guests, Bernice Ross and De Anne Ottaway, with our take on the activity in New Orleans. As always, the networking was the best part! There was a REBAR Camp, an Active Rain get together and some Tweetups in addition to the official NAR events!
 
The recording of my Fossland's Forum is here:

joeann fossland master certified coach: Going To NardiGras? 5 Tips! - 11/03/10 11:25 AM
5 Tips for Getting the Most out of a Convention or Expo!
This my 22nd consecutive time to attend the National Association of REALTOR’S Annual Convention. I love it because I get the bigger picture of what our industry is up to!. About 25,000 REALTORS attend the meetings, education classes and walk the expo. I have spoken at the last 6 Conventions with 3 other sessions in the 90’s. Through the years, depending on whether I was an officer for WCR or on a national committee, the specific meetings and activities changed, but the connections and perspective have been very valuable. This year … (2 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: What Do Sellers REALLY want??? - 08/31/10 02:56 AM
The availability of information online in the 21st century has radically changed many industries, including real estate. Travel agents and car dealers have found their businesses impacted dramatically as consumers tap into online information that gives them power and choices and makes proprietary information a thing of the past. In the real estate industry, the “one size fits all” model is quickly becoming antiquated. Consumers want choice. They want more control. They are more educated and feel more empowered and many do not fully understand the value of the real estate agent in their transaction.
The good news is that our business … (3 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Who Inspires YOU? - 05/01/10 05:15 AM
Last week was a fantastic week of connecting with amazing women. For three wonderful days, I attended Bernice Ross's Awesome Females in Real Estate (AFIRE) conference in Scottsdale and then my friend
and national trainer extraordinaire, Amy Chorew, came for the weekend! I am so grateful and fortunate to have such inspirational women in my life. I believe it is important to surround yourself with people who elicit the best from you, who energize you and who model what you want to evolve into!
Here's some of what I learned this week:

joeann fossland master certified coach: Productive Not Just Busy! - 04/30/10 02:20 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 fossland master certified coach: Attitude, Contrast & Being Extraordinary - 04/16/10 08:34 AM
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)

How is it going this year? Are you living the life you want? Is the rest of the year going to include people, places and activities that will be memories for the rest of your life?
Last week, I got a phone call from someone I hadn't seen or talked to since 1978! My old friend, Huey Hurst, from my Basalt, Colorado days, was riding his bicycle from San Diego to Florida. He was in Wickenberg, AZ when he called, planning to go through Phoenix where his bike was getting some tuning and he was going to pick up his new … (9 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Spring Cleaning #4-Relationships - 04/03/10 11:17 AM
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)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Spring Cleaning: Your Well Being - 03/17/10 05:48 AM
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)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Spring Cleaning: The Physical Stuff - 03/09/10 01:57 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)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Spring Cleaning Can Open Space for NEW GOOD Business! - 03/07/10 01:49 AM

I know in some parts of the country, spring has not arrived yet, but the good news is, now that it is March... it IS coming! Whew, you may be saying or maybe you are as lucky as I am in Arizona with a nice wet winter that has given us a respite from the drought. We are dancing naked, so excited (just kidding!) about the upcoming abundant wildflowers and the streams and lakes that are to have water. There is a certain lightness that comes with Spring. I love the concept of Spring Cleaning... actually, I have found that … (2 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Control Freaks.....What's Your Plan B? - 03/01/10 08:40 AM
Jimmy Dean said,"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow"
Mother Nature has a way of reminding us we aren't in charge, doesn't she? First Haiti and now Chile have felt her wrath with the horrendous earthquakes this year. It is a stark reminder of how impermanent our hold on reality is. Our US weather has also thrown us some curve balls this winter: Snowstorms and power outages can quickly render YOUR plans untenable-leaving you socked in, and unable to live life as usual. And, it's not just the weather. The economy and personal health issues can … (10 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Social PartneringTM will Get you MORE REFERRALS! - 02/24/10 02:31 AM
........And no, I'm not just talking about social media. Rather, I am talking about connecting with professionals and businesses that know the people who are your perfect clients. Sometimes, this will be online, but more often than not in a hyper-local world, this will be offline in the real world! Are you maximizing this opportunity?
In talking with agents, it's clear to me most are just scratching the surface of what could be a huge amount of referral business...the kind of business we all love to work!
What makes this work? Here are 4 steps:

joeann fossland master certified coach: How Much of Your Life is YOURS???? - 02/16/10 02:20 PM
Or does the way your life looks depend on the economy? The acceptance and expectations of others? Or the needs of others? Whew....we don't live in a rarefied existence where we are oblivious to and unaffected by the rest of the world....and yet, the happiest people have learned how to accept all this AND live a life that is 100% theirs!
As I work with coaching clients, the question of "what % of their life is theirs?" is one of the questions on my initial welcome package. Rarely do I see and response of 100%. It also seems the lower the … (5 comments)
