Welcome to Monday Morning Mindfulness . . . to my clients, colleagues and friends. Join me every other Monday in getting motivated and inspired to act/think/feel differently. ______________________________________________________
1. ON SPECIAL OFFERS AND INVITATIONS ______________________________________________________ Just think of it as riding the second wave of the New Year Mindset. Fact: New Year's Resolutions don't work, but coaching does. In fact, in the January 14th San Francisco Chronicle I read: "About 35 percent of people break their New Year's resolutions by the end of January, according to a survey by Franklin Covey." Did you know that you can leverage the "New Year's resolutions don't work..." theme from mid January through February. Early February is also the same time as International Coaching Week (February 7-13, 2010) If you are interested in exploring a coaching package or just want to see if I am a good match for you as a coach, please email me at: sandra@schrift.comfor a complimentary thirty (30) minute coaching call “Speak Like a Pro for Profit" Struggling to get clients?

2. ON FABRENGEN ______________________________________________________ In Yiddish, the word farbrengen means ‘spending time together.’ It has come to describe an earnest and brotherly gathering of people, punctuated by song and talk. The farbrengen is where the paradoxes of spiritual and physical, human and G-dly, are processed into a tenable reality. I think we could all benefit from an informal way to communicate our ideals and explore their practical application. Love of another. Helping one another. Friendship. Brotherhood. Warmth. The buzzwords of farbrengen. The Coach asks . . . is it time to spread a little “farbrengen” around our world? ______________________________________________________
3. ON 5 LITTLE SNIPPETS ______________________________________________________ Here are 5 little snippets of wisdom to carry into 2010. They’re from the collection by Founder of the modern Coaching movement, Thomas Leonard and his R&D Team. (this is the anniversary month of “T’s” passing.) We hope they’ll kick off your year with some new insights. (courtesy Coach Andrea Lee)
The Coach thinks . . . we often look for what we don’t have and seldom appreciate(enough) what we do have. _____________________________________________________
4. ON AN “A” SPEAKER ______________________________________________________ Since 1982, I have been working with professional speakers and business professionals who make presentations to audiences nationally and internationally. The following are some special traits of an “A” grade speaker.
The Coach sez . . . “A” speakers are the same off the platform as they are on the platform! ______________________________________________________ 5. ON THE TICKLE MONSTER MMM subscriber, Steve Wilson, has some fun products to share with parents and grandparents. If you are up for healthy laughter with your kids, check out “I Love to Laugh.” A book of fun and giggles. http://commerce1.cera.net/wltour/sections/catalog/prod_detail.asp?cat_id=&pr_id=167&mo=&ft=1 Author, Steve Wilson, Cheerman of the Bored, says; “WHEN YOU PLAY, YOU HAVE FUN! WHEN YOU HAVE FUN, YOU LAUGH!” And try “The Tickle Monster Laughter Kit” by Josie Bissett http://commerce1.cera.net/wltour/sections/catalog/prod_detail.asp?cat_id=&pr_id=188&mo=&ft=1 Just slip your hands into the super-soft fluffy blue mitts and start reading and tickling. Finger holes in the mitts make it easy for you to turn pages and tickle, too. Watch your kids squirm and giggle with delight. The Coach suggests . . . you join Wilson and Bissett to bring joy and laughter to Planet Earth. Start with the kids! _____________________________________________________
