joeann fossland master certified coach: Friday Fun & 5 Good Coaching Questions
- 04/17/09 05:21 AM
Last week, there were two videos that got my attention.
1. If you haven't seen this video of Susan Boyle, you are probably living under a rock, but I am posting just in case that is the case:
As my friend Stephen Fells, from Agency Logic, says... this proves you can't tell a book from its cover. I got tears in my eyes watching it. Do you think there's no hope to attain that dream you really, really want? Think again.
Here is a great article that takes it to the next level

joeann fossland master certified coach: Doing Great Work-Great Interviews
- 04/17/09 01:29 AM
Michael Bungay Stanier is such a fascinating guy. He is doing weekly interviews with people on the topic "Doing Great Work." Many of his interviews are about how to work less and how to eliminate the clutter and crap that gets in the way. You can access the Finding Your Great Work Interviews and choose the ones that speak to you! Or, be like me, and listen to them all! And then thank Michael.
In the interview with Bill Jensen, who wrote The Simplicity Survival Handbook, he shares that information is doubling every 55 days and he asserts we can never … (0 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Hard Drive Crash, or What I have Learned this week:
- 04/15/09 06:21 AM
My hard drive crashed last week...I wrote about it in my newsletter
Here's a few of the things I learned
Several of you shared good experiences with Mozy and Carbonite, both online backups and Norton Ghost. I think one of these will be the way for me to go. Even if you have backups...it isn't easy or fun to reinstall everything. I'd been using a Maxtor Drive for backup and there seems to be some compatibility issues with Vista that are giving us fits. Bottom line if their program isn't able to open and restore. I was thrilled I had Carolyne's Organizer (You … (7 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Peak Performance and Relaxation!
- 03/02/09 12:49 AM
PEAK PERFORMANCE: The story of Lance Armstrong has been an amazing one. How can you not be impressed with the challenges he's overcome? His mental attitude and innate competitiveness present an inspiring example.
There is documentation of how his body is somewhat of an anomaly: being able to efficiently process fuel, in the muscles, 3-5% more efficiently than the pro riding next to him and 8% better than the average fit man allows him to perform better on the same amount of carbs. It makes me wonder about the chicken and the egg dilemma: which came first? Everything I have read … (15 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Spring Cleaning for 2nd Quarter Results!
- 02/24/09 02:55 AM
I love living in Tucson! It may not be Spring yet where you are, but we've had a week of 80 degree weather here this week. The wildflowers I planted a few months ago are almost ready to bloom. We spent last week with birthday's galore: My youngest, my daughter Dawn turned 40, granddaughter Julia turned 2, and step-granddaughter Emelie is now 11. So I threw a party for February birthdays! My good friend, Mary Pope Handy, also had a big birthday this month and is throwing a party! Smart lady to combine having fun and connecting with friends and clients!

joeann fossland master certified coach: Having It All
- 02/08/09 06:28 AM
" You can have it all... you just can't have it all at once." As I am designing and living a life I love, and helping others to do the same, the dual goals of achievement and personal bliss seem to compete, frustrate, or simply tire us to exhaustion. There is an elusiveness to the times when everything is handled and there is time for it all.
If you are like me, most things look like opportunities.... There is so much worth doing. There are so many obligations and roles. There are so many ways to make a difference, to earn … (22 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Secret Santa Strikes in Tucson
- 12/23/08 02:28 AM
As my husband, Bub, and I were going through the list and checking it twice....we have the paper carrier and planned to give her some prickly pear jelly and $20. The problem was how to gift the $20. Sould we leave it attached to the paper box on the street all night long? That didn't seem like a good idea. Then Bub mentioned she had left us a card that had her address on it. So we could mail the $20!Then he said...let's do that with no return address so she will not know who sent it and appreciate all of … (4 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: Making Holiday Memories in the Sun or in the Rain!
- 12/17/08 05:47 AM
I hope you are having as much fun as I am preparing for the holidays. One of the decisions I made a few years ago was to give ME as the present to those I was gifting instead of spending a lot of money in the stores for things people would soon forget or didn't need. What I mean is that I either make the presents or create an event that we can enjoy together.
This year I have been busy:
Making jars and jars of prickly pear jelly that is yummy and healthy. Treating some girlfriends to a spa adventure … (2 comments)

joeann fossland master certified coach: The First 15%!
- 12/10/08 03:31 AM
"No one has to change. Survival is optional." Dr. W. Edwards Deming
Dr. Deming was the father of a philosophy that taught instead of managing focused on outcome or objective, one should manage for the continual improvement of processes and systems. And as a result, the outcome will continually improve. His philosophy is one of cooperation and continual improvement; it eschews blame and redefines mistakes as opportunities for improvement. W. Edwards Deming (1900-1993) changed lives by developing better ways for people to work together.
I was recently reintroduced to his theories by Diamond and River Jameson of the Total Integration Institute. … (4 comments)

Being involved in philanthropy is a very smart way to make a difference, feel good, and connect with others who have similar interests. I am awed by the projects that my fellow real estate agents are involved with.
Do you have a favorite charity? How do you participate and has it connected you to people who have done business with you?
