May is the perfect month to clear out the old and make room for the new!  One thing I recommend making room for is a necessary system many of us have trouble implementing.  What is that system? -- Scheduling!  I know, I get you all excited about discovering a cool new secret system and it's something you are already well aware of.  But Wait - keep reading :)......You may be aware of the importance of scheduling - but not specifically on how to make it happen. And that is my secret system - I have created a simplistic process on how to consistently have successful scheduling.

Chunk/Block Scheduling:

1. Print out a blank calendar 

2. On a separate sheet of paper, list all of the activities in your personal and business life that are important to you.

Possible Business Activities: prospecting, follow-up, specific activities that are pertinent to your business, meetings, networking events, planning, marketing, coaching....etc.

Possible Personal Activities: family time/activities, personal, exercise, spiritual, personal development, shopping/cooking....etc.

3. Group your activities into chunks. 

4. Schedule your chunks on your calendar. 1/2 hour - 2-hour time blocks

5. Include 1/2 hour flex time after each major activity.

6. In addition to your 1/2 hour flex time in step #5 - Schedule four 1-hour flex times in your week that you can move an uncompleted earlier block of time into one of these flex times - just in case an emergency comes up and you need to reschedule an activity.

7. Schedule 1-hour planning time at the beginning of the week and 1 1/2 hour time for planning and evaluation at the end of the week

8. Make a copy of your calendar.

9. Use a fresh copy for each week and then write the specific activities you want to accomplish within each block of time that is scheduled.

10. Evaluate your week and make any adjustments to your schedule for the next week.  Notice when, where and who you were with when you were distracted and diverted from your planned schedule.  What is this telling you and how can you be more efficient next time.

11. Have FUN!!  

The 3 M's to a Magnificent May.....
1. Be mesmerized by your greatness!
2. Map-out every detail of your best life - and go LIVE it! 

3. Mirror your true needs and beliefs in your communication.

   My Husband's 65th Birthday Celebration! So FUN!

• Leadership Coaching Tip for May - I LOVE prospecting! - When many professionals prospect in their business they spend much of their time wishing people would respond in a receptive way.  Since we don't have any control over what people will decide to do, this constant wishing takes all of our power away.  It may also leave us feeling desperate and frustrated.   If we instead choose to focus on the specific activity that we know will give us the outcome we are lookng for - we will feel empowered and in control of our outcome.  Having the confidence and awareness that our activity will produce the results we want will leave us in a enthusiastic, joyful, and successful state of mind.

April Showers Bring May Flowers.....April is the perfect month to spend intentional time celebrating your personal gifts and talents - coaxing them to SPRING into full bloom!  In order to love what we do and not settle for less it is important to check-in and truly grasp what our gifts and talents are.  And that's not always simple to do.  Our true gifts and talents are the ones that come natural to us - and when we are in our gifts we flow easily through life and notice the joy we are experiencing but don’t necessarily notice the importance of the joy.  We have been brought up to believe that “real work” should feel hard and difficult and when we are working in our gifts we don’t always appreciate the significance of the ease.  From this day forward, when you are doing something that brings you joy, take notice of what you are doing - who you are with - how you are feeling.  Embrace it!  Figure out how to use it in your life.  It was meant for you all along - to live with - each day of your life.  It’s God’s gift and talent that was chosen especially for you!  

The 3 A's to an Abundant April.....
1. Awaken your senses, appreciate your life and celebrate your successes!
2. Adhere to your most important values - without exception!

3. Analyze your communication style - use visionary words of wisdom that encourage success.

    Spring is finally here!

The Latest News from So Now Coaching..... 

• Leadership Coaching Tip for April - The Secret Behind Consistency - The key to creating consistency is understanding the motivaiton behind consistent behavior.  Consistency is created by doing an activity or task over and over again.  It then becomes a habit that creates consistency in the area you want to change.  In other words, you desire a new outcome - so you create a new behavior and repeat it so many times in a predetermined way that it becames a habit and creates consistency in the area you desire. For example - making phone calls during a predetermined time each week - week after week or exercising at the same time - week after week.  Each of these examples will create new habits - habits that become so natural to you that you notice when you don't do them - creating the consistency that you desperately want in that one area.  Wanting to become more consistent in your life or business is not an overall state that is achievable all at once.  Instead, you have the ability to do multiple tasks over and over again and create consistent habits in many areas of your life - giving you the appearance that you have overall consistency in your life and business.

"Helping 10,000 Women LEAP into their Best LIFE!"

March 8th is International Women's Day! Making March the perfect month to celebrate women and their special gifts!  Discovering what values and special gifts make up the unique you is the foundation to creating a fulfilled life.  Like most structural foundations - when constructed with strong and congruent layers of building material, the final design will stand tall and strong for decades. It isn't much different when building your own personal life foundation. When you use layer after layer of inspired values and special gifts to build your life around, your final design will stand tall and strong for a lifetime! Compromising even one layer may cause cracks to develop that may allow your unique energy to escape and dilute your overall happiness. Filling up your foundation with values-based layers, while protecting them from outside diversions and distractions, will support you beautifully and bring you a life filled with joy!

The 3 M's to a Magical March.....
1. iMagine how completing a series of tasks toward a goal will impact your life.
2. Make the Move to stop putting out fires and instead prioritize your time. 

3. Motivate others by using words of wisdom that encourage success.

  So wonderful spending time in the BVI on a couple's vacation!

• Coaching Tip for March - A Simple, yet Powerful NLP Exercise: "Step into the shoes of the person who loves you the most, or the person you work for. Float your awareness out of your body, into the person who loves you the most, or the person you work for.  This is a very powerful business-coaching tool for motivation.  Once you have filled the shoes of this person, look at yourself.  What would this person see, hear, or feel if you motivated yourself to complete a certain task or fulfill a goal?  How does this impact them?  What would they say or how would they reward the you who so diligently completed the task or goal?"

"Helping 10,000 Women LEAP into their Best LIFE!" 

February is the Month of - Love and Appreciation - The Perfect Month to Focus on Communication...

Effective communication can be crucial in how we're perceived in the workplace. It can make a HUGE difference when trying to secure a new job or sign a new client.  So how can we make sure that our communication is working for us?

Here are SIX quick ways you can pump-up your communication:

1. Build Rapport.  Rapport is where all relationships begin. Being in rapport with someone establishes a bond of trust, harmony and cooperation.

2. Communicate in the way others prefer to receive ideas and make decisions.  Notice if the person you are connecting with responds best in a structured environment or a flexible, creative atmosphere. Do they participate most often through the use of a visual aid or through a heart-felt story? Whichever their preference, communicate back in the same way -- and loyalty, productivity and enthusiasm will explode all around you!
3. Before offering advice, ask questions that empower others to participate in the conversation. For Example:  "Susie, I want to increase productivity in the office, what do you believe we should continue doing and what changes do you suggest." People will support what they help to create.
4. Initiate a conversation by focusing on the attributes and needs of the person you're talking to.
5. Pause and REALLY listen. During a conversation, if you pause longer than you feel comfortable – you still may not be pausing long enough.
6. Encourage equal participation in a group setting.  Don’t migrate immediately toward individuals with personalities similar to yours, even though it feels like the most comfortable thing to do. Include everyone equally. 
 

The 3 F's to a Famous February.....
1. Fine-Tune all of your systems and processes.  Be ready for the unexpected.
2. Fire-UP your positive spirit and look at each detour as an opportunity.

3. Faithfully evaluate your life-purpose every quarter. Does it support your values and beliefs?

  So inspiring spending time with my "So Now" Girlfriends! 
 

The Latest News from So Now Coaching..... 

• Coaching Tip for February - "Do you sabotage yourself with perfectionism?" Perfectionism is the tendency to set expectations and goals that are so high they are rarely reached or very difficult to achieve.  There is a constant, looming thought that if every part of the goal or project isn't met exactly, you will be a failure and a disappointment to others.  The stressful need to be perfect in all situations may lead to thoughts of inadequacy and the belief you are not as capable as others.  "Do you sabotage yourself with perfectionism?"

"Helping 10,000 Women LEAP into their Best LIFE!"

HAPPY New Year!  

         January is the perfect time for reflection, renewal and rejuvenation.  REFLECTION:  Have you ever wondered why some people succeed beyond their wildest imagination, while others seem to struggle?  RENEWAL:  Everyone has unlimited potential within themselves, but that potential has a difficult time unleashing itself into gigantic action unless we feed it with positive beliefs, attitudes and powerful resources.

          So how do we unleash gigantic action and make our goals STICK at the same time?  REJUVENATION:  To build and maintain momentum it is necessary to seek out new strategies, ideas and tools from top coaches and trainers and immediately put them into practice.  Find a mentor that will support and encourage you every step of the way - consistently pulling the best of the best out of you.  Evaluate what's working and then mix up, switch up and shake up what's not working!  Finally - don't wing it!  Make a specific plan for your goals - break it down into manageable pieces and then create an accountability system that has no exceptions.  And now for the most valuable tool.....Celebrate your victories and rebound quickly from your learning experiences. 

          It's a NEW Year and a NEW opportunity for a NEW look into YOU!
Have a Blessed January, Jenn :)
 

The 3 J's to a Joyful January.....
1. Jazz-Up your career by creating a heart-felt, action specific marketing plan and then back it up with your unstoppable attitude.
2. Jubilantly celebrate and appreciate how far you have come EVERY day and go after your 2015 goals with confidence and passion.

3. Journal your journey. Notice how you feel every step of the way.  Are there any limiting beliefs standing in your way? If so.....Document, then Demolish them!

   So wonderful spending time with my children over the holidays!

• Coaching Tip for January  - "Do you have the Fear of Success?" Have you ever found yourself on the verge of success and notice many of the things you had worked so hard on start to go wrong?  You are irritable with everyone, find it hard to concentrate and start procrastinating over the things that would make you successful. You fear you will be scrutinized, criticized and expose yourself to new pressures and demands and because of that, you question whether you can cope with the new opportunity, so you shy away from it.  Do you have the fear of Success?
