Setting Goals

I was at the Coaching Super Summit this past weekend in Baltimore, MD. It was a fantastic learning experience. We were introduced to a number of concepts that enabled us to think more outside of the box. I took home many new ideas.

As a Life and Sports Performance Coach I help my clients set realistic goals for themselves. Often times, goal setting is new to them. While at the Summit, Ramon Williamson, one of the guest speakers and author of the book, "Six Simple Things That Can Change Your Life," said to us, "People set goals based on what they don't have, not what they want." Uhm...that thought has stayed with me.

Take some time yourself to reflect on that question. How do you base your goals? What do you want?

A Whole New World

Only a month or so ago, I decided it was time to hire a web designer to help me create a website for my coaching business. Little did I know the decision to create a website catapulted me on a journey I did not expect. From deciding on colors that best suited me, to words to describe what I do, who I am, what I have to offer...and oh, make it short and concise!, to pictures, design, placement, features....the list goes on. But, somehow, I am coming out on the other side now. My website is getting more defined and some am I. Each decision leads to another, each question brings me on a soul search...and finally it has led me to discovering just what I have to offer, who I am and what I am about.

And, now, here I sit at my computer, writing my first blog. Blog. A word I had not heard of until about 3 months ago! It seems I have entered a whole new world through the door of my decision to design my website. So, I look forward to seeing where this world brings me.
