Thank you to all who receive my newsletter, to all who have heard me speak, to all who have purchased copies of Second Blooming for Women: Growing a Life that Matters after Fifty, and to all who have had me in to work with your teams. I wish you a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.
Put the words "I am thankful for..." and "I am grateful for..." on sticky notes and place them on your computer screen, mirror, and in your car. These will remind you to focus on gratitude. I challenge you to keep a daily gratitude journal from now to year end. You need not write a novel, just record brief statements of gratitude. This will set the tone for a splendid 2016!
Recently I sent a prospective client my explanation to the question "What is Coaching?" I share that with you in this month's Leadership Tips.

What is Coaching?
Coaching is a process that:
Helps you clarify your goals and focus on your wants, vision and values in order to produce results more quickly. Motivates you to achieve more than you achieve on your own.
Works with you to implement a plan of action and to work through changes and obstacles. Provides you with tools, support, structure, and accountability to accomplish more. Supports you in maintaining a healthy balance between your personal and professional life.
Why does coaching work?
I believe in you and am trained to help you identify and achieve your goals.
Listen fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.
Share my advice, ideas, comments and views on your situation.
Endorse you with compassion and acknowledgement.
Coaching is proven to work when the client is willing to grow and knows that there is a gap between where they are currently and where they want to go.
During your coaching engagement:
You will take more improved and smarter actions because you set the goals you really want. I help you distinguished between what you coulda, shoulda, oughta, and have-to want, from what you really want.
You will create balance in your life by practicing self-care before care for others.
You will make better decisions for you and your business because you have a clear focus.
You will have more and sustainable energy and no more overwhelm. You will feel better!
If you are ready to get what you want, need and deserve in 2016 let's schedule a complimentary coaching session and get started.

I met Lia Sa at a networking luncheon about a year ago. Lia is a seamstress and tailor and does incredible work. From hemming my slacks to altering a bridal gown, Lia spends the same time and gives the same attention to detail. I am impressed by Lia's professionalism and her warm and deligh
tful personality. She is always willing to please, and gives you honest feedback.

"Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don't fall in line with people who don't respect us and who we don't believe have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst." ~Rachel Maddow

Am I making a difference?
Does my life matter?
What do I want to do with the rest of my life?
As women, we start asking ourselves these questions with increasing urgency once we turn 50. We want to live fulfilling, meaningful lives, but often feel marginalized in a society that values youth and physical beauty. It becomes more of a challenge for us to retain a sense of value, so we must be proactive in making our life choices.
This is a wonderful time for woman over fifty. Yes, you're growing older, but why not also grow bolder? Why not make this time of your life the time of your life? Get ready for your own Second Blooming.
