Reminder: Your Gift to Yourself
 Hello! I hope you are enjoying the holiday week and are looking forward to an empowering, fulfilling New Year and New You! On December 25th I received this email from a new client I thought I would share with you:
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with you. You really helped me to see that I need to value who I am and what I bring to the table. My gift to myself is to value who I am and remember it throughout my journey.
Happy Holidays! ~ Maria S.
Now that the gift-giving to others has just about passed, what is your gift to yourself this coming year? What do you need to understand, grow, heal, and achieve to be the most peaceful, prosperous healthy you can be? How can you get there?
If you'd like some guidance and support along your journey and have been thinking about working with me, now is a great time to do so - and I'm making it easy with a $50 discount on any of my services when purchased by this Wednesday, December 31st.
I know you will make 2015 your best year yet. I hope to have the honor of helping you to see and value what you bring to the table, determine and accomplish your career/life goals, and become exactly who are you are meant to be!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
MY GIFT TO YOU: A SPECIAL YEAR-END OFFER
As you know, I send out my PGG enewsletter every week and its purpose is twofold.
The first is to provide a vehicle for me to express my thoughts and observations about what it means to be human in the modern world - my wish is that it gives you new insights about yourself, provides a different perspective on current events and/or simply lets you know you are not alone as you experience this journey called Life.
I hope you value the spirit in which they are written and enjoy reading them when you can; if so, please consider scrolling down to subscribe to PGG as a way of showing your appreciation and support for my efforts! :) (And at the very least be sure you like "Personal Growth Gab" on Facebook!)
Secondly, these emails keep you in the loop with the coaching and speaking services I offer, as well as inform you about upcoming appearances, articles and other tidbits that might be happening in my world of work. I don't do a heavy sales pitch - I simply want to be on your radar when you are ready to start working with a career/life/executive coach; but occasionally I have to do a bigger plug for my passion!
You can check out a bunch of testimonials from over seven years of coaching here and here as well as on my LinkedIn page, but today I wanted to take a moment to share a more recent email that I received after this past Thanksgiving:
I was fortunate enough to have worked with you as a career coaching client earlier this year. Since our time together, and our talks, I have landed a job as general counsel for a not for profit organization here in New York City. When we worked together you mentioned that you had a feeling I was meant for a larger destiny -- that I was meant to be doing work for the betterment of others, and that I was meant to lead large groups of people. My work in the not for profit realm will combine those two things, and I feel in my gut that amazing experiences lie ahead. Now, the world is my oyster. Your coaching and influence had a profound impact on me, and I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to you for being a guiding light.
~ Vanessa M.
And another from a client who just took a big step in her personal growth last week:
I did it!! I followed your advice and recommendations on ways to get in touch with my true self. My heart is alive and racing....my ego almost talked me out of it but I'm in. I signed up for the volunteer project and registered for the class we talked about. Thank you Kristina for believing in me and inspiring me to take action! You're wonderful and so good at what you do. ~Joann S.
And in case you don't read this one at the top of PGG every week:
I can honestly say that speaking to you was one of the most important events in my life. It is almost unbelievable how a 2-hour conversation can have that effect. ~ Bozhanka V.
So as you think about turning to a brand new chapter of your life in the New Year or just want to move forward in your career, I'm here to help with a $50 discount to use on any of my services between 1/1/15 and 3/15/15 when purchased in full by 12/31/14. Use it for yourself or perhaps offer a session(s) as a gift to someone you know might benefit.
Whether coaching, speaking or writing, it is always my intention to provide the clarity, balance and direction you need in order to make your life the most prosperous and fulfilling it can be so that you can create peace in your piece of the pie. I look forward to working with many of you in 2015 and beyond to make that goal a reality!
Wishing you Peace, Prosperity, Patience and Love
