NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS:

Re-focus, Re-energise,
& Resolve for 2008

(A limited edition programme using New Year "fresh start" energy to "Launch Your Best Life in 2008".)

I wonder how many people you look after, in one way or another, every day?

Family, friends, clients, colleagues, staff, … the list can seem endless.

But I’d like to bet that the one person who usually comes at the bottom of the list is YOU.

Except maybe, once a year? Round about 1st January?

If you’re like most folk, then that is the time when you DO think about your life……About your dreams for the next year. And what a difference it would make if you actually achieved them!

Dreams like:

• a career that works – and is worth working for
• work-life balance
• more creativity and passion for life
• having time for the things that matter
• being fulfilled

It’s often at this time, that it becomes very clear that the life you’re leading is not quite the one you want.

So, in a New Year flurry of optimism, you resolve to “Change Your Life”. But, by the end of January, you end up back in the same old routine.

Does this seem depressingly familiar?

Think about it – how many of last year’s resolutions did YOU keep? (Can you even remember what they were? ;-)

And how many of those resolutions keep popping up year after year – in one form or another?

Too many?

Why This Happens:

It’s tempting to put it down to lack of time, and/or lack of will-power!!

But actually, it’s often more about lukewarm, lack-lustre resolutions, that don’t really inspire you that much. That’s especially a problem when your festive wishes are similar to last year – you’re already feeling discouraged about them. And that’s about as appealing as last year’s champagne!

Plus, if the path to your best life were always smooth and well-paved, things would be so easy. In reality, there are often bogs, pot-holes, fallen trees, and other obstacles to be negotiated. I‘m sure you’ve tried sticking to a new regime, but perhaps, not known what to do when you hit one of these obstacles.

And when stress bites, it’s often too easy to fall back into old habits.

And so many women try to do it alone! (Or with half-hearted support from friends who’d really much rather you stayed in the “let’s have a good moan” club.)

The trouble is, no matter how sure you are on 1st January, keeping your resolve on your own becomes harder the further you get from that New Year clarity.

So …, What Does Work? How CAN you achieve the things you want in 2008?

Here’s what you need:

1. Red-hot, sparkling “zing-zing” resolutions. Whatever you’re launching, you need to get things going with a bang! That means creating a powerful, full volume, Technicolor vision of what it is you want. Then describing that vision in resolutions that really fizz. AND are heartfelt. Resolutions that describe your dream future in such a compelling fashion, that it becomes much easier to make it happen. This is about more than goal setting - you need to be inspired.
2. Inner Savvy. The good news is that you already know about a lot of the obstacles in your path. You already know about the things that hold you back, the points where you tend to give up, the usual excuses.
   
   When you’re savvy about them, you can use that knowledge to help yourself keep moving forward. This is NOT about beating yourself up. It’s about developing a tender understanding of your habits and foibles. And having strategies for dealing with them.
3. A Plan. You know – milestones, targets, “what I’m going to do first is”… … For some people, planning can feel a bit soulless, so they don’t bother and end up just wandering about. But it needn’t be like this - when it’s done from the heart.
   A plan should support you rather than being something to feel guilty about. It should be like having a route-map that you can rely on, ... a sort of “Sat. Nav.” for your life!! So, when things get a bit flustered, you don’t need to think too hard.
4. Sustenance. Let’s face it, making life style changes, however small, takes perseverance as well as vision. When work-life balance is already an issue (as it is for most professional women) there may not be a lot of “gas in your tank” to start with. So it makes sense that it’ll need topping up as you go along.
   You need on-going “re-fuelling” – for example, from a “buddy”, a coach, a “mastermind group” – to provide you with support, ideas, help and encouragement. You need sustenance. You need nurturing. So you can follow through on those promises you make to yourself.

When you start inspired - with a plan that actively supports you – you’ll get off to a flying start. Add in people and systems to sustain you over the longer term, and strategies for getting round obstacles and you’ll really get into momentum with it. Long after the memory of the New Year bubbly has faded.

Of course, you could just carry on as you are. (Uninspired, and running on empty?) But if you do, you’re likely to arrive at New Year 2009 still complaining about the same old things. Still dreaming about the life you want.

Wouldn’t you rather look back at 2008 satisfied with what you’d achieved? And living your best life, rather than just an “OK” life?

Introducing the 2008 “Launch Your Best Life” Programme

This limited edition programme is designed to be a fabulous launch-pad to you achieving your dreams in 2008.

Drawing on the amazing “fresh start” energy around at New Year, it brings together the components you need, not only to get started with your plans for 2008, but also to keep going with them.

Are these the kind of results you want? …

• To be pulled forward by your vision of success (rather than feeling you have to push yourself)
• To make New Year Resolutions that truly, madly, deeply inspire you
• To get a huge kick-start to making 2008 the year you actually do it!
• Feeling motivated and committed to your future
• Understanding, not just what you want, but what’s involved in staying motivated long enough to achieve it
• Having a route-map that will guide you – fluid enough to be responsive to change – but solid enough to support you when the going gets tough
• Knowing that you have the support you need to succeed in the long-term
• Feeling that you are getting back in control of your life
• Expert help so you can learn what works
• To know exactly what you are going to do first
• To be aware of the things that might get in the way – and to have contingency plans for dealing with them
• Feeling that you CAN do it

The “Launch Your Best Life” programme is for professional women who have had enough of wishing and are ready to make it happen!

Please note - because it taps into the “new start” energy of the New Year season, I only offer this programme from 10th December until 31st January 2008.

Topics We Will Cover:

• Embodying Your Vision: a practical way to bring your dreams into the here and now – thus making them more powerful, and more possible
• Writing “zing-zing” Resolutions. I want your 2008 New Year Resolutions to be so powerfully right for you, that they make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end!
• The Motivation Matrix: Laying the foundations for your commitment to change
• Your Route-Map: A 3-stage plan with key strategic milestones, that will support you in achieving your goals, plus, a “next steps” action plan
• Making the Most of Your Expertise: uncovering potential blockages, and identifying your personal “sign-posts for success”.
• Progress: Making it, monitoring it, and celebrating it!
• All About Motivation:Everything you need to know about motivation - how to get it, protect it, build it and sustain it.

How It Works

The programme is centred around an intensive “Lift-Off” coaching session, with preliminary exercises and follow-up support. You get:

1. A set of introductory exercises, supplied via email, that will lay the groundwork for our “Lift-Off” session (Each exercise should take only a short time and should be completed over the few days prior to the session.)
2. The Lift-Off Session: 1.5 – 2 hours intensive coaching. This is totally confidential, and tailored to your needs. You will leave the session:
   
   
   • Clutching your written resolutions for 2008
   • Holding in your heart the commitment and determination to succeed
   • Ready to get started on your personal “next steps” action plan
   • Savvy(!) about the challenges you’ll face – and how to tackle them
   • Inspired, motivated and enthusiastic
   • Knowing that you CAN do it – and that you have the resources and support you need to succeed
3. The Progress Report Session: Travelling hopefully is all very well, but sometimes you need to take a step back and review how far you’ve come. And, how far there is to go. Feedback from last year’s programme suggested that a follow-up session would be the best way to achieve this. So here it is…
   A 60 minute follow-up coaching session to support you in celebrating your success so far, and in re-committing to the remaining journey. It will also give you something to aim for – and an additional motivating factor – when you know you have to report back to me! It should be scheduled for around 6-8 weeks after the Lift-Off Session.
4. On-line Support: I really want you to make it happen this year. So between these two sessions, you’ll also have access to that totally confidential, personal and effective coaching support via email.
5. The programme also includes the stand-alone course: “Motivation – A User’s Guide”. This is a 12 week e-course comprising weekly instalments of the guide sent direct to you by email. It’s in 12 bite-sized instalments, crammed with expert tips and exercises to keep your motivation fired up, well into Spring!!

If you’re not sure what you want, or you’re not quite ready to DO something about your dreams, then this is maybe not going to suit you.

But if you want to stop dreaming, and start living your best life, and you’re ready to take action to make it happen – this is for you.

Your Investment

I’m sure you’ve noticed that with this programme, you’re getting around 3 hours of intensive, personal coaching, not to mention up to 8 weeks of email coaching support. Plus exclusive, foundation exercises. And that’s before you even think about the expert e-course on motivation.

I’m really pleased to be able to offer you all this for just £137
