Summer is a time for relaxing and recharging our batteries. But whether it’s a staycation, a trip to the family cabin on the lake or a trip somewhere exotic our clients often find it difficult to make this transition. And sometimes people put so many expectations on the holidays that they end up disappointed.
Over the summer, most (non-tourism based!) businesses move to a slower pace. We go on vacations, take longer lunches, enjoy longer evenings, long weekends and lazy Sundays – and these all give people an opportunity to slow down, reflect and enjoy life a little more.

I was writing a teleseminar this week about ‘concretizing’ coaching – finding ways to demonstrate the value and power of coaching in a tangible way. And it reminded me of a turning point in my coaching business several years ago – a coaching program I created that got me 12 clients in 2 weeks. It literally took me ONE day to put it together – the morning to plan and outline it, and the afternoon to create the poster and words. My first new client signed up that very afternoon (my mortgage broker who had stopped in to get Read More…
What do YOU do when it comes time to wrap-up with a client? Do you have a process? What wrap-up questions do you ask? Do you dedicate a session to reviewing what’s been learned and achieved during the coaching relationship? How do you set them up for life post-coaching?
Personally, I like to dedicate an entire session to reviewing and solidifying what each client got from their coaching experience. And I like them to get them thinking about their priorities and goals in life going forwards. And although the wrap-up session is different with each client, I use this (FREE!) Read More…
Coaching Tools and 7 Other Life Vision Exercise Ideas!
I get a lot of questions from coaches who want to help their clients with life planning or life visioning. Often people – and their coaches – are looking for a catch-all tool, workbook, visualisation or some other technique to help their clients.

Relationships are essential – we’re wired to connect and we literally need that connection to survive. So with Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s the perfect time to sit down with your clients and reflect on, review and appreciate their relationships. Because, as coaches we all know that WHO you spend your time with can significantly impact your life. In fact almost EVERY success book will tell you that if you want to be successful, hang around with like-minded, successful people.
How do you know if a relationship is working for you or not? Well, the question to ask is Read More…
How often have you seen the prospect of a high powered job, brand new Porsche or designer pair of shoes gets your client more excited than the thought of quality time with a child or friends? Because their heart beats faster – they mistake this desire for their heart’s deep inner needs. But as we coaches know, desires and our heart’s true needs are very different – and when our clients get this personal ‘Aha moment’ it can be literally life-changing for them. Well, here’s one more way the Wheel of Life Template can help!

Whether you’re a coach, counselor, therapist or social worker, affirmative writing is a great exercise to offer your clients who are making changes and attempting to bridge the gap from where they are to where they want to be. And it’s also a great journaling exercise for your own self-care and visioning.
Affirmative writing is where we write to bridge the gap between our current reality and our desired outcome, whether it’s events, goals, feelings, situations or something else. We write as if these things are already so – including our feeling state. Tip: Feelings are the magnet when it Read More…
