Introduction from Coach Colette
Do you know what it means to have 20/10 vision? It means being able to see things clearly at 20-feet, that other people can only see while standing 10-feet away. It’s literally like having a bird’s eye view of the world.
What would it mean for you to have 20/10 vision in your life? Can you think of how much more you could accomplish with this level of attention and motivation?
You might be wondering how it’s possible, especially since we’re living in a New Normal. What do I mean by the New Normal? The recent economic and social ups-and-downs are unique. Technology has changed everything we do – all of the emails, tweets, and IM’s have affected the way we think. The job market is tight – many businesses aren’t hiring, yet most are expecting more from current employees.
You may feel like you’re running full speed ahead, at 90 mph, 24/7. I often feel like the circus performer who spins plates on those long poles. It’s all fun and games until someone adds one more plate and all of them come crashing down! Yet, when things shift dramatically in your life, e.g., changes in your career, economic situation, or relationship status, you can use those opportunities to reevaluate your priorities.
I believe you can develop a POSITIVE, PRACTICAL and STRATEGIC mindset to achieving your biggest dreams and being more fulfilled. There always will be pessimists ready to share their negative outlook about prospects for the future. Yet, I believe YOU have a choice of how YOU respond and react as it relates to YOUR life.
The great news is this eBook can help you do just that! Get ready to:
• Visualize the results you want to achieve in your life
• Reveal your true intentions so you can feel more fulfilled
• Uncover hidden challenges or “blind spots” that could sabotage your efforts
• Be renewed, re-energized and inspired to give life to your vision
Focusing on your vision will help increase your confidence, so you'll be able to meet current challenges; plus you’ll be able to anticipate new roadblocks that might pop up in the future. My hope is that you’ll gain some insight to jumpstart this process, reveal your key intentions, and stay motivated throughout the year. My approach is to ask many questions and to guide you through a few visualization activities to spark the revelation of your inner passions and intentions. My belief is that you do have the answers, if you’ll give yourself the time, space and permission to reveal them. [FYI, I know we’re in the digital age; yet, you may want to keep a pen handy to capture all that surfaces.]
Now, you may be thinking you can do this visioning on your own. Possibly, but I’d ask you: aren’t two heads better than one? The information I’m sharing with you is based on my training and certifications in stress management (Coping with Work & Family Stress™) and time management (FOCUS®: Achieving Your Highest Priorities); plus over 10 years experience as a leadership coach and consultant. Remember, I’m the one who empowers my clients even when people are telling them “it can’t be done!” or “that will never work!” I love working with leaders who won’t quit even when it seems like the odds are stacked against them.
At the end of this eBook, I’ll let you know how you can receive coaching from me. Now, let’s get started!
