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. 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

2. ON THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS
______________________________________________________

It has been said that the Talmud states, “Who is rich? He who is contented with his lot.” Henry David Thoreau’s Journal says, “That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.” Buddha, in his way, taught “The cause of suffering is desire, and the antidote to suffering is the cessation of desire.” Suffering is rope burn. Let go with all of your might.

The Coach thinks . . . that we can still find old fashioned happiness in unwavering integrity, passionate commitment and dedication to a mission.

3. ON THE OLYMPIC MOMENT
______________________________________________________

I have a friend who always turns to the sports page first because he is inspired by people’s accomplishments; the front page and the rest of the news is often about failures and violence. A heavy dose of “what is wrong with the world.” The Olympic Games shows us young people giving their best, and if they lose, they know how to congratulate the winners, and quickly return to the “C Zone” to visualize their victory next time. In business, when some people lose, they shout ‘unfair” and hire a lawyer. So I will focus on the Olympians and be inspired.

The coach asks . . . are you visualizing your next victory? Your next accomplishment?

4. ON MARKETING TOOLS ______________________________________________________

Author/speaker Karl Bryan shares a few tips on the marketing tools you need in order to get and keep new customers.

  1. Meet with customers/clients in person whenever possible – this brings the connection quickly.
  2. Follow up with a letter and review what you talked about and reiterate any agreement you made with them. Thank them for the meeting and create the vision for your “partnership.”
  3. Then follow up with them to talk again about what you talked about in your meeting and offer any assistance you can to help their business run smoothly and more successfully.

Management consultant guru, Peter Drucker reminds us that “Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are just costs”

The coach sez . . .you must be/offer quality to attract quality clients.

5. ON BECOMING THE MENSCH
______________________________________________________

The uniqueness of Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow is Bruna Martinuzzi’ s ability to universally assimilate the word mensch into today's leadership lexicon. Fluent in six languages, a global workplace coach, and a mensch ( a person of integrity and honor) herself . “Her affinity to the human elements of growth and change will have a global and lasting effect on all of our tomorrows.” Great read for coaches, speakers, mentors and all leaders.
