Quote of the Week

“Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix.”

Christina Baldwin

Does Change Follow You?

Change isn’t something that happens here and there. No matter where you go, there it is – and no wonder. Life is a complex interaction of millions of factors, all connected to each other. If any one thing changes, so do all the interactions, sometimes in imperceptible ways.

You live in a world where everything is changing. It’s not that change stalks you. Instead, since change is everywhere, it is already where you are heading (Yaverbaum & Sherman, 2008, p. 194-195).

Coaching Call to Action

If you are the type of person that embraces change, this is a wonderful reminder. If you are the type of person that dislikes change, this is a reminder of a different sort. Whichever type of person you are, this week observe the change around you. Make one change yourself and watch the ripple effect. Have a thought on today’s Tip?

Community Involvement

Come join us for the first Pounce on a Project of 2009! What project would you like to get on top of and accomplish this month that would start the year out with a bang? Come to Pounce on a Project I – - 2009. Join Coach Andrea on Thursday, January 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Eastern. We will join as a group by phone and declare what you want to accomplish: getting taxes ready for the accountant, cleaning out those boxes in the corner, getting your website finished or make cold calls. During the morning, the group will gather by phone a few times to check progress and get any support needed to finish with a bang. At noon, the group will celebrate their accomplishments. Who says projects have to be boring and tedious? Bring your lightness and fun and join us for the energization.

To sign up or learn more, call or e-mail Andrea by noon on Wednesday, January 28th. Feel free to share this with friends and co- workers, the more the merrier. (Cost of the program is only the cost of long distance phone calls.)
