A Few Notes From Cheryl
Happy May!
Spring is officially here now, although those of us in Northern
California have been experiencing so much rain it is often hard to
tell. Let's hope that we can start leaving our umbrellas behind
soon!
One of the biggest challenges my coaching clients face is how to live a
balanced life, especially between their career and
having time and energy for their personal lives. My guess is that this topic
is of importance to you as well, so I hope you enjoy this month's
feature article below. Feel free to share it with your employees,
colleagues, friends and family, too!
On this topic, it's a pleasure to announce the release of our latest
self-study program "Create the Balanced Life You Desire"! Since
many of you were celebrating Mother's Day yesterday, we've extended the
introductory price for this program through the end of today. For
only $27 you can learn how to create more Balance in your life at http://www.goalsinsight.com/products.htm
through a 65-minute audio CD and a 29-page workbook. If you're
interested, be sure to go online today! Starting tomorrow, the
price will revert to the web price of $43. If your employees are
working hard and you want to help them create more balance in their
lives to ultimately be more productive for your organization, contact
us for special volume pricing.
To your Balance,
Cheryl

Feature Article: 8 Steps to a Balanced Life
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being completely balanced, how balanced
does your life feel right now? What would be different
about you, your work and your personal life if you were living a more
balanced life? These are the first questions to ask so that you
can start creating the balanced life you desire.
Below is an overview of the 8 steps in our new "Create the Balanced
Life You Desire" self study program. The audio CD and workbook go
into much greater detail on each of these steps, so if you're
interested in taking these steps to the next level by truly creating
the balanced life you desire, check out the self-study program at http://www.goalsinsight.com/products.htm
.
1. Define
Balance -- What does "Balance" mean to you?
(the CD/workbook gives some definitions and asks you to consider the
different ways in which you experience Balance in your life)
2. Explore
each area of your life (work, family, friends, etc.) for Balance
-- Where are you in balance? Where are you out of balance?
(the CD/workbook gives you 10 categories to review and rate, as well as
questions to consider about the ratings so you can have a complete
overview of your life)
3. Clarify the
importance of a balanced life -- Why is Balance important to
you? What are your core values that relate to your leading a
balanced life?
(the CD/workbook gives you 8 questions to consider about how your
values relate to your "wants," "shoulds," and the daily choices you
make.
4. Create the
vision for a balanced life -- How would your life be different
if you felt more balanced on a regular basis? How much more
successful would you be at work if you were more balanced?
(the CD/workbook walks you through a powerful visualization exercise
where you create your own vision of a truly balanced life and answer 11
questions to help you solidify that vision)
5. Handle the
obstacles -- What are the obstacles that get in your way?
How do you want to handle the obstacles that prevent you from
maintaining balance in your life?
(the CD/workbook provides the 10 most common obstacles faced by my
coaching clients, along with 8 strategies to handle the obstacles that
arise and a template for you to create a plan to handle the obstacles
that you anticipate will prevent you from creating the balance you want
moving forward)
6. Design your
"Balanced Life Action Plan" -- What are the specific goals you
will set in order to achieve the balanced life you desire?
(the CD/workbook provides you with the tools and an easy-to-use
template to design the specific goals necessary for you to create the
balanced life you so desire)
7. Create a
support structure -- Who in your life can you ask to help
support you and hold you accountable to the action plan you have
created for a truly balanced life?
(the CD/workbook gives you the tools and information needed to identify
the people who will provide what you need to maintain the balance you
desire, as well as the frequency that is needed in order to maintain
momentum)
8. Commit to
your "Balance Plan" -- How committed are you to your
plan? What needs to happen to fully commit so you can achieve
your Balance goals?
(the CD/workbook provides 4 questions for you to explore and solidify
your commitment to the balanced life you desire)
Now that you have an overview of the steps you can take to create a
balanced life, what's next for you -- what is one thing that you will
do TODAY to start creating the balanced life that you
desire? And, will you do that? I look forward to
hearing from you to learn about your success!
