Personal Growth Gab
with Kristina Leonardi

December 2010

Greetings!


Hope you are enjoying the holidays! As mentioned last week, I thought I'd offer a look back at some Personal Growth Gab fan favorites from 2010:


It's been quite a year, so don't forget to take some time to review all that you've accomplished and learned internally and externally throughout the past twelve months, and think about what you'd like to do in the next twelve!

 If you'd like some one-on-one guidance and support going forward, I'd love to meet with you next week during my
 2011 New Year's Coaching Kick-off!


Wishing you a Happy Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

CONTACT ME TODAY TO SEE HOW WORKING TOGETHER ONE-ON-ONE CAN BENEFIT YOU NOW

I left there today just feeling great knowing that I had a wonderful person to talk to about everything that's been going on.  I just feel so comfortable sharing my personal experiences with you; by doing so, it's allowing me to uncover so much about myself.  -V.C.


"Kristina is an amazing coach... I'm always impressed by her intuitive nature, creative ideas, and insight to tap into the core. She is tremendously gifted and has the ability to unblock obstacles that perhaps we didn't even know existed as it's sometimes most challenging to see situations clearly when you're immersed in them. I'll have Kristina to thank when my upcoming big and delicious publishing projects materialize -- her guidance and reinforcements I need to hear about having patience with ingredients baking in the oven have shaped my efforts! " 
-Vicki S.

"After months of researching the job market, I became overly consumed with endless data and foggy ideas. Kristina helped me see that my resume reflected this uncertainty and it was working against me. In just a half hour we defined more sharply what my true goals are and how to best revise my resume(s). I now look forward to communicating - on paper and verbally - a clear message that will lead me to a new opportunity". - Linda M.

"I got so much out of our session and I know it will be an impetus to spring me into action!  I can already feel that a change is on the horizon.... I also wanted to let you know that I felt inspired not only by your advice, but also by seeing how much you love what you're doing.  It's truly a gift to be able to listen and provide such meaningful feedback.

"I had just lost my job a few weeks earlier and I was a little out of sorts. I attended Kristina's breakout session entitled "How Losing Your Job Can Be a Good Thing". After listening and actively participating in the session, I was really able to put things in perspective. It allowed me to dig deep within myself and really determine what I wanted to do with my life. After the conference, I decided to have a one on one coaching session, which helped validate my career goals, and have also attended her Thursday at Three Transition Group meetings. Kristina is truly an inspiration and I recommend her to anyone who is feeling a bit lost and needs some career and life counseling." - Justin S.
