Coaching Tip: Surround Yourself With Quality Relationships

When people ask me, “What are key factors in having a prosperous business and happy life?” my answer always includes having a strong community of friends and colleagues.
Relationships are the cornerstone of our existence. We thrive by having interpersonal relationships, social and spiritual connections, and business affiliations. It is through our personal relationships we experience the sense of belonging and feelings of love (both sharing and receiving). Strong business relationships invite referrals resources, collaborations, strategic alliances, and masterminding.
Who’s in your circle of friends and colleagues? When you’re with them (in-person or virtually), do you feel energized, inspired, motivated, uplifted, understood?????
Qualities I look for in forging relationships:
- High integrity
- 100% responsibility who they are and what they do
- Altruistic
- Shared values
- Committed to personal growth
- Positive attitude
- Spiritually oriented
- Compassionate
- Strong communication skills
What qualities are important to you in your relationships?
What do you bring to your relationships?
I’ve been blessed to have a fabulous network of people. Years ago I began deliberately paying attention to people I met online, at networking events, and socially. Extending invitations to meet for coffee or chat on the phone was a great way to learn about people. Hosting my radio show opened further doors to meet people I admired and respected. Through social networking, joint ventures campaigns, and personal introductions, my circle has widened. Over the years, I have been fortunate to cultivate quality business relationships that have developed into strong friendships
I often ask folks in my circle and network, “Who do you know who might be great for me to meet? Would you willing to make an introduction on my behalf?” When I’m promoting a new product or event, having a strong network is invaluable.
If you work from home, isolation is one of the downsides. Be sure you’re engaged in activities to meet new people. You might even make it game to meet at least one new person each day or week!
Finally – if you wish to surround yourself with quality relationships, growing yourself as a person is a must. To attract great people, you must become the kind of person they want to hang out with!
Having great people in your lives to cheer you on, stimulate ideas, and hold you to your best will boost your strength and courage to say yes (and keep saying yes) to your desires and dreams.

Life is A Game of Boomerangs

As I’m heading out for a few days in MD, I received this note from my subsciption to Neale Donald Walsch’s Daily Inspirational emails. I wanted to share it with you.
*******************************************************
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
. …that life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
Florence Scovel Shinn said that, and she was right. So before you think, do, or say anything — imagine what it would be like to receive what you are sending.
Then, go one step further.
Decide ahead of time what you would like to receive…and then send it.
Quite deliberately.
That is, give to, or cause in the life of, another what you would like to now experience.
Then…watch the magic.
Have a great weekend!

5 Important Questions To Manage Distractions
Published on 20 Aug 2008 at 4:29 pm.

It’s easy to become distracted. Sometimes we welcome distractions to avoid doing something we don’t want to do or deal with. Having a natural curiosity to learn new things can get in the way of staying focused. Interruptions, too much stimulation, weariness add to the many ways we get distracted.
One specific distraction is doing too many things at the same time. Perhaps you started doing something specific and you had an interruption and decided to stop what you were doing to handle it and then noticed something else you wanted to attend to which led to something else and…. before you knew it, several hours had gone by?
A place I’m guilty of getting distracted is when I’m cleaning my house. I stop and start things in every room! I have to laugh and remember that when I’m done, things will be pulled together. In my work, I can become distracted by a number of things (like checking my email!) which is why having a system to interrupt potential distractions becomes important.
So, when clients ask me what I do to stay focused and avoid distractions, I use these five questions to keep me on track:
1. Is it urgent?
2. Does it have to be done NOW?
3. Is this the best use of my time and energy?
4. Is this moving me towards or away from what I want? (priorities, goals, vision?)
5. If I say yes, what am I willing to give up?
On additional thing I do each morning is write down 4-6 must-dos in my calendar. I’ve made a promise to myself that I will not close my office until I complete those tasks for each day. It’s a simple system that keeps me in integrity with keeping my agreements. (yes, I do have some late nights sometimes! LOL)
What helps you?

Have a great day!

Coaching Tip: How to Play the “Integrity Day Game”

Years ago when I was taking my coach training, one of my instructors introduced the idea of having an “integrity day.” To demonstrate the power of this concept, several of us personally participated as a group one Saturday. It was a blast.
Here’s how it works
The intention is to schedule a whole day or a half day to handle things that are lingering, undone, need to be communicated – anything you’ve been meaning to get to that you want to clear off your plate. It can be a bigger project or several things like painting a room (I did that on one call) or a bunch of things like, paying bill, clearing off emails, running some needed errands, returning some phone calls, filing papers, de-cluttering – get the picture?
You set the intention for this day with a buddy, colleague or a group of friends on a specified day. Enclosed is a sample invitation I sent to several colleagues a few years ago. It’s a fun way to get things done with the cheers and support of one or more people on your team!
************************************************************************
YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INTEGRITY DAY!
Saturday June 19, 2004, 9am-12 noon EST
Host- Lorraine Cohen
What is an Integrity Day?
“If you’ve got some lingering stuff that needs to be done, communicated or handled, just bring it to a call we call the Integrity Day Game. Call in at 9am, 10am, and 11am EST to share what you’re going to handle (or start if it’s a real biggie) during the hour, (we share for about 5 minutes) and then call back at the top of the hour and share what you got done, to the cheers of the crowd on the phone. It may sound corny, but it works, and it’s fun. You may call in at any of the times listed, or call in for all 3 times. Most folks participate for several hours. Our final call is at 12 noon to wrap-up and celebrate our “wins.”
The support of the group and the book-ending of the hourly check-ins provide the energy most folks need to get stuff done that they’ve been putting off. This is a perfect opportunity to strengthen your integrity by clearing out some things you’ve been delaying or avoiding to create a DO IT TODAY! day.
How much does it cost? It’s Free! The only cost is a long distance charge.
Want to play? Contact Lorraine Cohen at (my phone # and email) or call to let me know if you want to participate and I’ll advise you of the phone number to call for Integrity Day.
Feel good about yourself by feeling lighter and more focused! Be sure to plan a way to celebrate and reward yourself for a job well done.
***************************************************************************************
Are you game? Have fun with it!
BTW - bridge lines are easy to get. Tons of them are free and accommodate lots of people on on one call - like a giant conference. Setting up an account usually takes a few minutes.
Cheers,
Lorraine

Three Reasons Why You’re Not Attracting What You Want

Is this you?
1. One reason people fall short of achieving their dreams and desires is because they haven’t fully made the decision to have what they say they want. They think they have said YES and they haven’t. Not completely.
2. A second reason is the lack of follow through with deliberate action. The create an action plan and fail to execute it to completion.
3. A third is because they’re stuck in patterns of fear and self-sabotage. They find themselves doing things that create more of what they don’t want that causes them more stress and unhappiness.
Does this sound like you?
You know how you can tell?
Just look at your life
Had enough?
Do you have the desire and inspiration to make this year extraordinary?
Are you ready to say YES to more good than you have ever imagined or
experienced?
