You have more control than you think…
I had a conversation today where someone asked me if I provide ‘Life Coaching’.
It’s an interesting question, because in a way all coaching is life coaching because even though I work with Leaders and Business Owners, we’re not always talking about business and work.
We talk about all the things that might come up that impacts WHO we are and how we show up professionally.
“Where ever you go, there you are” — Jon Kabat-Zinn
We bring our whole selves to work. We typically aren’t one way at work and one way at home…and if we are and it’s a dramatic difference, that can cause a LOT of stress for you in the long-run. If this is you, we need to speak.
I digress.
The question I received today make me think again about how we show up and what we bring with us wherever we go.
How not to be 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind'
Being ‘Out of sight and out of mind’ is a killer when you’re trying to build and serve in your business.
Typically only a small percentage of your target market is ready to buy at any one time. So, staying in touch and developing relationships helps you stay ‘top of mind’ when your customers are ready for your product or service.
Because, when they are ready to buy….you’d like them to immediately think of you!
So, consider this….how can you stay in relationship with your potential buyers/clients in a way that adds value?
Being intentional in challenging times
Well - this has been a week of weeks! And, really, what a start to 2020 if you take in when this all began on the other side of the world (and it really technically started late 2019). There’s a lot going on in the world right now and I’m guessing many of us are trying to make sense of it all.
I am so grateful to our brothers and sisters around the world who are sharing with us what it means to find solidarity, to collaborate on information and who are contributing to the sense that we are all going through this together.
In uncertain and complex times and with a 24/7 news cycle, a virus that no one wants to get, and with unprecedented shut-downs for many, this is like pulling the rug of safety and security right out from under us.
