I was able to spend some quality time with close friends from high school. Having our kids play together was priceless. Here’s a pic of Vaughn with his holiday bulbs on. ( More pics, along with a video of him playing his new guitar are on my blog.)
Ready to rock and roll in 2011? We have some great improvements to our newsletter and blog to help you make that happen. In each issue, we will include a real story (from a client or coaching group) illustrating a critical career tip. Kicking that off below... "Stop talking business when you're networking" personal story: I attended the “Introverted Leader” 1/2 day workshop last week with Jennifer Kahnweiler. Learned some fabulous networking advice: People connect with people first over personal things, not business things. Establish the personal connection, THEN get to the business. Read more about how to do this here. In this issue: Forget New Year’s resolutions, create a Vision Board instead. Career Corner shows you how to make your own vision board. Starting with a vision of your goals and how you want to feel when you achieve them, is much more effective than just writing a list of resolutions. Start with the board first guys.

Career Corner Visualizing Your Goals for 2011 The biggest way that I set and achieve my goals each New Year is by visualizing exactly what I want and then working to create a Vision Board. My Vision Board helps me stay focused and thinking positively about each goal. Here’s a quick overview of how to create your own Vision Board: -
Make a list of the top 10 things you want to have or create in your life. They can be anything – tangible or intangible - like a trip, someone to help you market your business, or a certain amount of money you want to have to give away to charity.
-
Get a posterboard or a large sheet of paper and then cut out or draw pictures of the top 10 things that you want and place them on your vision board. The order or placement is completely up to you.
-
Place your Vision Board somewhere you will see it every day. Your end result should be something that when you look at it, you know clearly what you’re going for and you get excited about the possibility of having it. I keep my Vision Board hanging up in my office where I can see it every day. By keeping my Vision Board front and center it helps keep me focused on my goals and priorities. Visioning is a great way to help you achieve your goals. But some people think that the movie The Secret and other mediums that promote the Law of Attraction don’t tell the full story. So let’s de-bunk the myth. Developing a vision for your life and career path, and imagining your goals is a key component to enable you to achieve them. But you can’t just sit on your couch and expect things to happen because you’re picturing them. My coaching teleclass leader Michael put it perfectly, "action is part of the word 'attraction.'" Nothing's possible without taking action! You have to get off the couch to make things happen, they aren’t going to just appear. The key is to take inspired action, meaning action that feels good to you and just seems like the right thing to do in the moment. The way I can tell if I'm taking inspired action is if I feel like I’m in the flow and things are just clicking. *Need help defining your career direction? contact us for a complimentary consultation.* We are filling spots for our most popular coaching service: Our next Ideal Career Coaching Group, including unlimited individual coaching, starts this month.
