Have you ever been embarrassed? And then regretted feeling this way? So, what does it all mean? I have my thoughts on that, and am really interested in hearing yours! Looking forward, Eileen

Life can be funny- if you have your sense of humor (impt!) about you..
The yellow “check engine” light went on as potential buyers of my 2002 Sentra pulled out of the driveway, me in the backseat.” Oh shit”, I thought..bad timing!! So, we all will check it out.. (I just had this car inspected, etc.). What I said was, “how embarrassing!”. See my next blog re “embarrassment”.

What can be better than a gift that could potentially make someone’s future more successful? Imagine, with the gift of coaching, you provide yourself, your loved one or colleagues the unique opportunity to grow their business and reap personal and relationship benefits in unprecedented ways! You all walk away with invaluable tools and knowledge. This is truly a win-win opportunity!

I usually market my services by the project, each lasting 2-4 months, with follow-up coaching/training available on a month-by-month basis. However, to celebrate new beginnings and bountiful opportunities in this time of global economic and political challenges, I offer the following…
• 3 individual 1 hour coaching sessions, in-person in Baldwin, NY. or via the telephone-internet: $270.00. This may include:
• PCSI (Personal Coaching Styles Inventory): A communication styles assessment tool and coaching to address the results. Effective communication is the basis for good relationships and productive teams.
• Meridian Tapping (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques) to accelerate goal attainment, release negativity combined with positive visualizations and relaxation.
Discounted customized group trainings team development, leadership development, anger management-conflict resolution, stress management through 2009 with Eileen and her affiliates. We honor and work with your budget restrictions!
Your total investment: Priceless! Arrange a complimentary consultation:

Offer good through August, 2009.

Why Coaching Now? http://www.balanceandpower/coaching.php
Coaching utilization is increasing because it is a cost effective means of achieving phenomenal results for individuals, teams and businesses. Organizations are asking, “Can we afford not to use coaches?”

A study of Fortune 1000 companies reported the following benefits from the coaching they received:
• An increase in productivity (by 53%)
• Increased customer service (by 39%)
• Increased retention of senior people (by 32%)
• Reduction in costs (by 23%)
• Increased bottom line profitability (by 22%)
The Xerox Corporation found that the impact of using follow-up coaching after formal training gave a massive 87% increase in the effectiveness of training when compared to training alone. One executive coaching firm found that coaching programs delivered an average return on investment of 5.7 times the initial investment in a typical executive coaching assignment.

Coaching has been so successful in the large corporations that it is now becoming more and more common in small companies, professional practices and start-ups.

What is it about coaching that’s so powerful?

Are you aware of self-fulfilling prophecies? We all have them. We get trapped in our comfort zones and we don’t know what we don’t know. The old adage goes, “If you always think what you’ve always thought, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” Or, in other words, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.”

As a peak performance success coach, I help you challenge your own assumptions, see things from a different perspective, think outside your comfort zone. Then together we set goals for more productive behaviors and actions that will bring you better results. It’s practice and application. Common sense dictates that people don’t maintain the changes they make without practice and application. The coaching I offer is outcome based. You state your goals and we make them happen together. I hold you accountable for making progress.

Would this be a good gift for someone who is far away?
Absolutely, even if I am primarily located in the NY metropolitan areacan have coaching sessions with people all over the world by phone-internet.

There’s rarely ever a good time to take a vacation when you’re a small-business owner.That’s why many owners just don’t get away, or if they do, they end up taking long weekends or taking some free time.

“There’s rarely ever a good time to take a vacation when you’re a small-business owner.That’s why many owners just don’t get away, or if they do, they end up taking long weekends or taking some free time. “

I ‘ve gone nine days unconnected  – that may be my record in this phase of life. Traveling is leaving “life as you know it” behind to explore different cultures and landscapes and to refresh and renew yourself. Traveling with my husband Steve, we had wonderful five days in Mallorca with our daughters, who live in Madrid and London. The word idyllic  kept popping up in conversation re this locale~ Later in our itinerary Steve and I revisited Marakesh, Morocco after a 37 year time span from our last visit when we spent over a month there in the winter of a year of travels. We found some positive changes which I’ll write about in a stand alone blog soon.

As a seasoned traveler to foreign lands, I’d like to share -

10 Tips for Smooth Travels and Fun:

Anticipate having a wonderful time
If something goes wrong  or not according to plan, try to see the humor in it and move on.
Once you’re settled in and go exploring, allow yourself to “get lost”.
ie: don’t have your nose glued to a map.
Know key phrases in the language.
Take some downtime  everyday or a siesta to relax and recharge.
Stay unconnected  to the internet, phone, TV, newspaper for as much
and as long as possible.
Enjoy!!!!
Bring home meaningful mementos-souvenirs-photos.
Compromise as much as possible with your travel mate(s) – After all,
you came to have a good time and probably have tickets home together -
Smile!!

“It is the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.”
-Paulo Coehllo
Yes, everything in nature: the birdsong comes to mind first. A stone, a shell.
I’ve recently read “The Witch of Portabello” by this author. Extraordinary!

“Our lives begin to end the day we grow silent about things that matter.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Expression is being alive.

“Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.”
-Carlos Castaneda

Interesting/ Of course, the definition of “heart” is individual perception.

“We have to start teaching ourselves not to be afraid.”
—William Faulkner
It takes work to overcome fear. The first step is acknowledgment that one want to do it!
I have found EFT, meridian tapping, to be extremely helpful in overcoming fear- even phobias!

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” -Nelson Mandela

Thank you, Yvonne and Howard Bisk of http://www.meetup.com/LongIslandEntrepreneurs for introducing me to this quote, and reinforcing it as part of your sig. in every email. Life surely throws many curves; we must be able to cope and be resilient. I have helped thousands of people, clients and workshop participants with this very thing…http://www.balanceandpower.com/coaching.php

Over the years I’ve been collected great fortunes and they are posted on my frig. Here’s a new great:
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by it.”
Yes..don’t keep it to yourself- share it!

Before too much time has passed, I’d like to share my thoughts from the park bench en Madrid last week, 6:45PM/…
Madrid has been a stopover for us – hangin’ @ Ariel & Xabi’s…enjoying their flat and terrace… his guitar strumming…viewing a brilliant rainbow from the terrace with strain’s of Neil Young “she can take me over the rainbow” on the stereo…
We had a wonderful midday meal: grilled fish, sauteed veggies and vino…I wrote this sitting while sitting on a park bench listening to birds. I was anticipating Ariel’s superb performance in a dramatic-musical production in the eve. We weren’t dissapppointed…
