Leading Through the Holidays: Focus on the Natural Passion
 
Excited co-workersDuring the holiday season, people are already empowered by the rise in momentum that naturally occurs within the culture. People have a great feeling at this time of year. Staff are looking forward to time off, to spending time with family. People are more energetic, more compassionate, more caring and giving, in general.
 
If you are more excited and energetic, it will be contagious. This is a time for encouragement. Focus this passion into exciting things that are coming up after the first of the year. Give tidbits of things to come; things to look forward to. You can capture a natural excitement and help your staff and colleagues connect that to things to be accomplished and experienced in the near future.
 
Lead through the holidays by focusing the excitement in the air in positive ways, creating positive goals, and something exciting to look forward to!

GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF A LIFE COACH


Would you like a partner walking along side you as you improve your leadership skills? 
 
Research shows that, the effectiveness of learning is increased fourfold when the participant is partnered with a Coach.  A 1997 study showed  training resulting in 22% increase in effectiveness, and when combined with coaching, it increased to 88%.

How does Life Coaching work?

Generally done over the phone, Coaching is client-driven; you decide what you need, where you want to grow, and I provide guidance, support and accountability.
 
Did you know that Coaching can be tax deductible?
 
And Coaching typically qualifies to be financed through dollars required to be specified for training only?
