“The heart is very much like a miraculous balloon. Its lightness comes from staying full.” – Mark Nepo, Author of The Book of Awakening

Are you ready for 2022?

Many of you are sharing different opportunities and methods of setting goals and planning.

If you have a system you love or event you attend every year, please reply and let me know.

I'd also love to hear your goals or word for 2022!


A few years ago, one of my coaches suggested creating a list of 10 or so qualities that were important to me.

Then, at the end of the day, I could judge myself on how I lived up to those qualities, not necessarily others' judgments of me.

 

My words for 2021 included: present (especially with my kids), responsive, and abundance.

I'm still pondering my 2022 words and would love some inspiration!

Before moving on to 2022, celebrating our wins from 2021 is important. Yes, we all had wins even in the craziness that was 2021.


One of my favorite wins for CTL and RWA in 2021 was expanding our community to include career services providers from 87 different countries!

One of my personal favorite moments from 2021 was my oldest son's first day of kindergarten -- it is so fun to watch him grow and see the curiosity with which he approaches every day.

From my family to yours, wishing you a happy new year!

                    Are you ready to finally have the tools and confidence you need to:

                    • lead clients through more transformational engagements?
                    • articulate a unique value proposition to stand out in a crowded coaching market (and help clients stand out from their peers)?
                    • have a repeatable process and structure so you can focus on each client and know every client will get outstanding results?
                    • attract more ideal clients and make more money with a done-for-you, customizable personal branding strategy business?

                    If so, then it’s time to become a Certified Personal Branding Strategist!
