May 23, 2008: GREAT QUESTIONS: Who Are You?
Quote of the Week
“There was no telling what people might find out once they felt free to ask whatever questions they wanted to.”
– Joseph Heller
GREAT QUESTIONS: Who Are You?
by Steve Straus
(Great questions lead to great answers; weak questions, weak ones.)
When shouted in anger at a small child this question is not really a question at all, but rather an admonition, an attack.
But when asked calmly to oneself, this is a great question. “Who” (or What) makes you the focal point of the inquiry. “On earth” means of everyone, everywhere, a pretty comprehensive sample size. “Think (or Feel) you are” really needs answering. If your answers are anything other than “unique,” “strong,” “on purpose,” “clear-headed,” “focused,” “joy-filled,” or other positive, uplifting, reinforcing ones, then you might want to ask yourself why that is so. Why would you ever want to think of yourself in less-than, comparative, and downer ways? Your world is built from the view you hold of yourself.
Who on earth do you think you are?

Coaching Call to Action
Steve asks a great question. This week answer this question as he recommends. Post the answer on your bathroom mirror, your refrigerator, your daytimer. Read it as you go through your day and remind yourself of the gift you are.
Community Involvement
Pounce on a Project V - 2008
May 29, 2008
Last month we worked on reviewing new web pages and real estate contracts, beginning work projects and desk and e-mail clean up. We got through our projects and laughed and shared during the process. What project would you like to get on top of and accomplish this month? Come to Pounce on a Project V. Join Coach Andrea on Thursday, May 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: completing a presentation, working on your monthly newsletter, finding the top of your desk or reaching out to clients.
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 by noon on Wednesday, May 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.)
