Life is a Dance!

They say that change is a constant and I see that statement confirmed everyday in my writing business. Everything from the type of work people ask me to undertake to the types of problems they ask me to solve is a fluid dance of step and respond.

I’ve responded by making some changes in both how my business is structured and in the types of services I offer. Evolution of any type excites me and it’s no less true when I look at my business. I started 2012 offering mainly writing and editing services for businesses and as the year draws to a close I am looking at a client services profile that includes the writing and editing for sure, but it now also incorporates coaching.

Over the past 11 months I’ve been involved in a number of coaching and training programs that have broadened my skill set and given me a much more profound understanding of performance and achievement. I am highly goal oriented myself. Over the past 12 months I:

• Oversaw the publication of my first novel by a traditional publishing house
• Oversaw the publication of my first collection of short stories
• Completed my MA
• Obtained my private pilot’s licence
• Went skiing in the mountains of BC
• Went on a spiritual retreat in BC
• Travelled to Nepal, a destination I’ve wanted to visit for decades
• Travelled to California once and Arizona three times
• Underwent 11 months of coaches training
• Was filmed for a program for the Oprah Winfrey Network
• Successfully billed, in one 40-day period, twice what my previous record monthly billing had been
• Finally organized family photos and put them up around the house (this was important because after my husband died I was shattered and couldn’t bear to look at pictures from my “happily married family years” – too much sadness was involved. Selecting the pictures with my kids’ help and putting them up around the house marked a huge turning point for us all.)
• Was named Director of Communications for the Intercultural Open University Foundation, an international educational organization focused on mentoring social change agents to their MA and PhD degrees

It’s a sweet list!

This year, in honour of the Festive Season that is fast approaching, I have put together a goal coaching package so I can share my success secrets and help other folks get the knack of developing a dreams-come-true life of their own. My coaching takes place in person, over the phone or via Skype.

You’ll find details of my coaching program in an email I’ll be sending out over the next week or two. It includes a number of other seasonal specials I’m offering this year as well. The discounts are huge! And as the year draws to a close, I urge you to take a look at what I’m offering and see if my services might make a difference to your quality of life or that of someone you hold dear.

Change is constant. How we respond to it is up to us.
