Will Your Clients Find You?

September 25th, 2010
p>Just because you have a web site, listing in the phone book or social media presence, doesn't mean your clients will find you.  Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment and look at your presence, virtual and physical, with client's eyes.  Get a few friends or family members to give you feedback once they try to locate your vital information.  Being found means understanding your audience ...

Powerful Affirmations That Create Shift

September 21st, 2010

Positive affirmations are the ‘in’ thing these days. Many people include them as part of meditation or prayer time, posting them in key locations to be seen throughout the day. Most affirmations are derived by creating positive statements that reflect who I want to be or my best self i.e. "I am beautiful, gorgeous and sexy". This is a great strategy, but not highly effective.

Aly does Oprah!!

September 16th, 2010

Many people have a ‘Bucket List’ after the popular 2007 Rob Reiner movie. I believe in the concept, just not the name. My list is a “Top 100 Experiences” because I have no plans to kick a bucket any time soon, nor do I choose to focus on the bucket. One of the experiences on my list was going to see Oprah at her studio in Chicago.

I had tried a number of times for two years to get through but ...

The 'Behind the Scene' at Oprah

September 16th, 2010

Getting tickets to the Oprah Show is not an easy task. In fact I think the odds are much like being struck by lightening or winning the lottery. Ms. Winfrey uses an on-line system to request tickets and only accepts requests for the following calendar month. If you can imagine how many hopeful fans and viewers like myself are all vying for tickets, you understand the odds.

There are two tapin ...

Fear of Success - A Small-Thinking Smoke Screen

September 1st, 2010

Yesterday I had the pleasure of a metaphorical slap in the face, bringing me to a shocking reality of the excuses and BS, basic stories of course, I have built in to my life (emotional, spiritual, bahviors).  A pleasure, indeed.

I was coaching a client with a very big and attainable dream.  I am sure you have heard of the Jim Collins term, the BHAG (Big, Harry, Audacious Goal); a goal so larg ...

So you wrote a book, now what?

September 1st, 2010

I personally think we all have a book in us to write. Something unique that expresses an essence that is only yours to share with the world. My husband Jeff and I wrote a book that was self-published and released March 15, 2010. It was a learning curve to say the least! Here is a little video blog about where we are selling our book, The Business of Marriage and Medals, and why.

The Art of Integration

May 4th, 2009

I am not sure if writing my feelings and thoughts out was the answer to assisting my brain to focus on the moment and not live back in the intoxication of the weekend. Maybe it has been the 4.5 hours that have passed since I did my writing, or the fact I picked up my children 4.5 hours ago and went careening from Conference Emcee and Professional Coach back to mini-van driving mom, but it is ...
