Self Employed Success

In December, I had lunch with David Newman and grilled him (no pun intended!) about creating information products.

Lots of great strategy ideas and tips!

You can listen to the interview in MP3 format here:

I was a guest speaker on the ICF Teen SIG today, where we talked about coaches starting their own mastermind groups, the differences between group coaching and mastermind groups, and some of the steps to getting started with your own groups.

Due to popular demand, I am making the MP3 recording and transcript of The Art of Networking and Referrals available for free.

Are you looking for more customers?

One of the most powerful ways to get your needs met and help others at the same time is through word-of-mouth referrals and networking with others.

In this teleclass recording, I share and techniques for effective networking, including ideas for a face-to-face and online referrals. Walk away with a plan and some great resources!

Your Voice Tells Your Story with guest Katherine Scott

Every person’s life is a rich history of stories and your voice tells your story each time you speak. The sound of your voice is influenced by the perceptions you have about yourself and they, in turn, influence how listeners perceive you. The source of your perceptions comes from all the experiences that make up your life story.

To fully access the authenticity of your voice, the sound by which you communicate your story to the outside world must come from your inner being.

In this seminar we explored your voice on two different levels: the actual sound of your voice, and the compelling story or purpose you express with it. We investigated what you can do to integrate those two levels.

During the teleclass, we examined the following questions:

• What is your voice story?
• What is a voice field and how do you find yours?
• What’s in the gap between your thoughts and your spoken words?
• How do you authentically align your voice with your self?
• How do you achieve both power speaking and power listening?
• How do you build confidence and deal with performance anxiety?
