I appreciate your comments on the show!  Let us know what you thought here!

strength, leadership, knowing, intuition, groundedness, balance

I had such fun last week with my group coaching program that I’m running and with an exercise I facilitated with my Holistic Healing Networking Group!   It was an opportunity to take a step back and look at how you wanted to be in 2009!     What do I mean by that?  Well, what qualities do you want to exude?  How do you want to be with your clients?   How do you want show up every day, to feel connected with yourself and others around you?    What kind of characteristics do you want to have for you business to grow,  for your relationships to flourish?    I think you are getting the ‘picture’  now!

Take a moment to think about what this means to you!  What image generally one from nature -animal, insect, fish, water, tree, flower etc, comes to mind and really inspires you when you think of it.

Once you thinkof the image, make a short list of words and actions that come to mind that this picture or image represents for yourself.    Sit for a couple of minutes and reflect on the image and the words, and what it means to you….  (see very easy)

Don’t force an image to come to mind, if it doesn’t come straight away, take the pressure off,  go and do something else, and then it will to you, just like it did for my client  – his image was a Phoenix!  how powerful that is!   Another client had the image of a dolphin!  Just think of the qualities and meaning this images can evoke in someone, maybe even you!

Now that you have your image or symbol, in the next week see if you can find a picture or memento that will be a constant reminder for you through out the year.  To keep you inspired and excited about 2009.

It will give you a chance to reflect continually coming back to a central point of focusing on what you want to achieve and how you want to be, a theme by which you will run your life, and beautiful way to ground yourself when things become stressful or overwhelming or your path has been a little foggy.

I would love to hear how this little exercise helps you!  Please post your sharing of your experience.

Warmly,

Coach Louise

Get Clear Now (New Year) ~ 90 Day Challenge A Group Coaching Program

With Louise Crooks ~ The KeystoClarity! Coach

Clarity! Vision! Intentions! Goals! Focus! Stretch! Grow! Results!

Start the New Year with a BANG — and have fun in the process!!

It’s the New Year! A time for new beginnings, new projects, renewing energy and strategy, and a new way of getting there!

Take the opportunity to clear your head, and get cracking on what’s most important to you! Stop procrastinating and take the steps necessary to make your immediate goals and bigger vision real.

A special group is forming, meeting weekly by phone for an hour – every week for the next 3 months! It is an exciting way to create support, ongoing camaraderie and brainstorm as you focus on the projects and intentions that really are a priority to you and/or your business. Make this the first step on your path to success in 2009.

On the first call each member will introduce them self and set intentions for 2009, and then focus on intentions and goals for the next 90 days. With your commitment and with the support of your group, the results will speak for themselves.

In ongoing sessions we will:

· Continue to clarify our intentions.

· Make sure we are in alignment with our goals.

· Make sure our goals are realistic and ‘do-able’ and construct a solid process to make sure they can be successfully and easily accomplished.

· Review progress and re-define our goals and intentions over time as necessary.

· Get really clear on what you want to accomplish in 2009!

· Get really clear on what you want to accomplish in the next 90 days!

· Get coaching, helpful tips and tools as well as great resources and support from Louise – not forgetting the unique support and contribution from other group members.

· Create shifts in perspective, through group discussion and inquiry, resulting in propelling you forward.

· Create the opportunity to brainstorm and collaborate in our own virtual boardroom.

· Get to practice and implement the Law of Attraction and understand the science behind the words!

· Make wonderful friendships and alliances with amazing, like-minded people.

· Create a confidential and safe space with non-judgment, and full participation.

· Get the opportunity to celebrate our accomplishments and successes – big, and small.

During the course of these 90 days, you’ll get to identify the reasons why you might get stuck or get stopped in your tracks with certain tasks or requests you make of yourself. It happens to everyone! The key is to get clear about what the cause might be for you! We all have beliefs and fears that stop and limit us from moving forward and creating the lives we want; building clarity and understanding will give you the opportunity to move beyond them, and create new habits that support you in shaping an amazing life or business!

GCN NY- 90 Day Challenge cont.

The group coaching model is very powerful because the experiences and comments of our peers often evoke new perspectives and awareness in us and the energy is amazing. It is also an opportunity to experience coaching in an inexpensive way, as one on one coaching can cost anywhere between $200 to $600 per month, and you’ll get more time coaching!

Also, as part of the program you will get a bonus of 30min of coaching each month for the 90 days. This is an opportunity for you to focus on what is truly important to you, and the detail of what might be getting in your way. This is a one-two punch – revelation and exploration!

In between calls, each member will also have unlimited email access to Louise and the opportunity to interact 24/7 with other members of the group in a private forum.

There is one requirement of the individuals who register for this program: willingness. A willingness to show up and take action is all that is needed to make a strong start…and a strong finish!

Are you willing? Are you ready to take action? Jump off the fence, and join us!

At the amazing price of $369 for the full 90 days you will also receive the bonus of 30 minutes private coaching with Louise each month, mentioned earlier. Additionally, through Tuesday 27th January, you may take advantage of the early bird price of $319! Application to the group will resume at the original $369 through Monday the 2nd February!

We will start on Tuesday, 13^th January at 7pm Eastern. Spaces are limited in the group to guarantee the value of the calls for the individuals participating – so book now! See contact information below.   (there is also another group for Life Coaches starting on the same day at 5pm EST!)

Warmly,

Louise
