Coasts Enlarging

Hi dear visitor,

I'm in a "really cool" mood right now! Why? Because my coasts are enlarging!
After practicing coaching and personal development as hobbies for the past 3 or 4 years I have finally set up as a professional coach. Yep, my brand new coaching practice is gearing up to launch in September this year!

I'm in high spirits because this has been a dream I've held onto for many years. Somehow, life got in the way, but I've managed to keep pressing forward and now my dream's a reality!

Are you pressing forward with any of your dreams at present? I urge you not to give up. I literally went through "hell and high water" to achieve my dream. No one said it would be easy, right? In fact, "easy" is for average or below average people. You and I are of a different kind! So we’ve got to keep on pressing, till we get “there.”
My new coaching practice is called Career and Life Renew, a.k.a. CLR. My "shop window" is currently under construction, but if you hop on down to www.careerandliferenew.com there's presently a gift on offer. I plan on taking it down once the site is ready so do hurry.

Career and Life Renew is geared to offer support to smart and savvy working women who want more in their lives and careers. Sorry guys, this isn't discrimination! I just had to narrow my niche for better business building. But guys are welcome too as the tips and resources on offer will benefit us all.

Our flagship service is the CLR Life and Career Makeover, and I'm really excited about this! We'll be helping women achieve better self-awareness and self-appreciation, to find out what options are out there for them, and to support them in getting there. They’ll be reinventing themselves and their careers! At CLR we believe today's woman can have her cake and eat it. She can have the kind of career that not only satisfies but allows her to have the life she wants. This is an absolute must for me in my life, and I know that many of you want it too. I am happy to have carved out the work I love around the life I love. Being quite a night owl this means I can work all night and sleep all morning. I'll also be taking time out this week to go and watch my son play football. A working mother’s bliss!

Forgive me if I've been ranting. As I said, I'm in high spirits! And I'd like to share the joy with you too. So please take a trip to www.careerandliferenew.com if you’d like more info on the life and career makeover. Who knows, by this time next year you could also be doing the work you love, around the life you love!

I hope to meet with you at CareerandLifeRenew.com And please bring your friends!

All the best,

Oma

Some Interesting Facts about Worrying

A few days ago I came across some interesting research facts. They are:

• 50% of Brits spend their spare time worrying about work

• 80% of the things people fear or worry about never happen!

We Brits seem to be doing quite a lot of worrying, as do the rest of the world. The above figures show that it clearly isn’t necessary as 80% of our worries never come to pass in the first place! Talk about an overactive mind! Someone once said that “worry is the wrong use of the imagination” and I agree!

Our fears and worries only have a 20% chance of ever happening and we can reduce this even further, or totally eradicate it, by setting goals and working them. An even more certain approach would be to work on our goals with a coach. The skills, experience and non-judgmental support of a coach could tide us over when motivation wanes and uncertainty sets in. A coach can also help you handle life’s distractions, something you may be too pre-occupied to do effectively by yourself.

Great personal success teacher Brian Tracy says,

“Goals allow you to control the direction of change. Goals assure that change in your life is predominantly in the direction that you want to go. Goals give you control over the critical elements of your life. Goals give you a greater sense of personal power and well-being.”

Think of that!

1. What is your desired direction of change?
Here, list your top 3 goals for this year. You want to move towards these goals, and away from hurdles and distractions.

2. What are the critical elements of your life that relate to your goals?
I invite you to work these out as we coach together, zooming in on them, disempowering your distractions.

You can therefore retire any worries and fears, and make sure your dreams do come true. Worrying is futile and self-limiting. Following your goals gives you empowerment and certainty. Certainty that any goals we work on together will happen. All it takes to get your success started is to set those daily, weekly and monthly plans, and follow them. And you can get started today!

Here’s wishing you more motivation and fulfillment, and may you never give up on those dreams.

Let's get working,

Your coach,

Oma

What to do if you don’t love your job :(

We need to work to pay the bills, make the world go round and to give ourselves a sense of contribution. Research tells us that a large part of the work force hate their jobs and for most people, a dream job is just that, a dream. So what’s to do if you hate your job? Here’s what I’d recommend:

• Have a real good think and decide what you like and dislike about your job. Make a list of both.

• Be thankful for the “likes” then take a look at all the “dislikes.” Can they be modified, re-negotiated, scrapped, delegated or changed in some way? Could you come up with an alternative and present this to your boss? Could you apply for another role? If you could change the “dislikes” would this make your job more pleasant?

• If a change is not possible could you seek a new job? No jobs available, you think? Sounds like you need a life coach! It’s true that many firms aren’t currently employing in today’s economic climate, but it is also true that some of them are. And there are still people bagging new jobs! It’s my opinion that these times call for aggressive job-hunting strategies. You can’t keep doing what you’ve always done and expect to stand out in a downturn. We may not all be able to find a new job, but who says you can’t? Have faith!

• You could consider alternatives to seeking out a new job, such as starting up a business or going solo as a freelance professional. Research also says that business start-ups are on the increase in this recession. Some experts believe this is in fact the best time to strike out.

• You may need to up-grade your skills, revamp your CV and have your belief system overhauled to accommodate new possibilities.

Whatever you do, I wouldn’t recommend staying in a situation you hate. In the long run this could be stressful, bad for your health, stealing your happiness and consequently that of those around you. That’s not to say that you should up and leave your current job without an alternative, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. For a personal assessment of your situation, an overhaul of your belief system or a look at your possibilities why not contact Oma today?
