A Few Notes From Cheryl
Many of you have been on vacation lately, so I hope you enjoyed your
time away! I had a chance to get away for a few
days recently on a camping trip, which was fabulous. My partner
and I went with a friend of ours and had a great time just
relaxing in nature and generally taking it easy.
This camping trip was different than all previous trips because....for
the first time ever, we took our dogs (yes, Ernie the terror beagle
went on his first camping trip and he did GREAT!). Much to our
surprise, Ernie only barked a few times and he and Sidney (our good,
non-beagle dog) were
great campers. I think they both might even be invited back again
next summer!
I have a favor to ask -- will you help if you can? Do you
know someone who could use some support in turning their ideas or
vision into reality? Our next "achieve your goals" coaching group
starts August 24 and we need at least one more participant, so we'd
love for you to tell your friends, colleagues and family about
it. They can be located anywhere in the world, as everyone
participates via telephone. It's a small, intimate group (6 maximum) so
that everyone receives maximum benefit. See below (or web
site at http://www.goalsinsight.com/teleclasses.htm
) for details. Thank you in advance for helping to spread the
word by sharing this e-zine and the goals group information with them!
We have some exciting new workshops scheduled, so be sure to check out
the information below!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer,

Feature Article: When You Change The Way
You Look At Things....
I had the pleasure recently of watching a public television
special led by Dr. Wayne Dyer on the topic of his latest book, The Power of Intention:
Learning to Co-Create Your World Your Way. One of his
messages was so compelling that I wanted to share it with you this
month.
During his talk, he said: "When you change the way you look at
things, the things you look at change." Wow! Take a moment
and really let that sink in (hint: you may even want to read it a
couple of times). It is so powerful, isn't it? And, isn't
it true that when we look at something from a different perspective,
all of a sudden the thing that we were looking at changes?
For those of you who have coached with me in groups or individually,
you know the power of choosing the perspective you desire in order to
help create what you want. We all have many options and choices,
and sometimes it's not until we make a conscious choice to look at
something in a different way that we become fully aware of how many
options we really do have. I interpret Dr. Dyer's comment to
reinforce that we can choose our desired perspective. How do you
interpret his statement?
This concept can be applied to everything we do, in work as well as in
our personal lives. Let's start with some different work
scenarios:
- If you are a department director or senior
level executive, how might shifting the way you look at your
organization's strategic plan change the approach you use with your
team to work toward the plan's objectives?
- If you own your own business, how might
changing the way you look at your business actually change or influence
your business operations?
- If you are currently in career or job
transition, how might changing the way you look at being in transition
shift your ability to find work you love?
Now, let's look at some different personal life scenarios:
- If you are feeling overwhelmed because you are
juggling more than what you desire, how might changing the way you look
at the overwhelm influence you?
- If you are wishing that you had "more of" or
"less of" something in your life, how might changing the way you look
at this desire help create what you truly want?
As always, I love communicating with you and
hearing what you'll do differently as a result of these monthly
inquiries, so feel free to send me an
e-mail with your
thoughts!
