Top 10 Reasons You Need Coaching More Than Ever
When you’re in the eye of the storm is when you need to be most greatly resourced and supported. When you are lying on a beach on vacation? Not so much.
When you’re being challenged by current circumstances is when you need to be able to readily draw upon your creativity and resilience, not after the fact when you’re reflecting and (perhaps) over-analyzing what you did or did not do “right.”
In this email, I share free resources and make the case for why now – more than ever – coaching is what is needed. In other words…
Now is the time to take care of yourself, invest in your leadership capacity, and build a stronger future for tomorrow.
Is it Time to Take Back a Wee Bit of Control in Your Life?
If you’ve never read my book Refuel Recharge and Reenergize: Your Guide to Taking Back Control of Your Time and Energy, its content is just as relevant now as when it was first written in 2013. This handy guide provides small, manageable tips you can use on your own to find your ground, simplify your daily life, and reclaim a wee bit of control in your life. You can order a paperback or Kindle copy from Amazon.com, or … if finances are too tight right now simply email me and I’ll send you a complimentary PDF copy for your personal use.
