Graceful Emergence

05/28/2024

Like many of us, are you returning to work today after a long weekend? It can be a tough transition. Returning to work after a vacation is really hard, and it's even more difficult if you are facing burnout, disengagement, or a task list as long as a small child's leg.

My Dad used to remind me to start from the basics whenever I struggled to get going again. You know what? It always works.

Setting a clear goal or two will give you something to focus on instead of the emotions you are feeling.

So, for today's , let's start with a classic (Gump Style) skill, set a goal for today!

Back to basics! Set Clear Goals
✨ Tip for Staying Engaged: Set Clear Goals ✨
Establishing clear, achievable goals can help you stay focused and motivated. Break down larger projects into manageable tasks and celebrate each task you complete. Gage the day and set your goals accordingly.

The first client tool I learned in my life and career coaching training was about the power of 'tolerances.' We often tolerate frustrations, disappointments, fears, and longings without realizing their impact on our lives. But I chose to break free from these tolerances and help my clients do the same.

With loving and solid boundaries in place, I've developed the skills to achieve success in both my personal and professional life. Ready to overcome your own tolerances? Let's talk. Direct message me to set up a time to meet.

Personalized life and career coaching for authentic emergence into YOUR soul's dreams & passions.

Hi Friends! As many of you know, besides having a full-time job (make that two jobs if you count raising twins), I have also been attending classes, leading workshops and studying with a Mentor to develop my true passion; Life, Skills and Career Coaching.

So, after nearly 3 years, I am nearly at the end of my study and approaching my graduation and accreditation phase. Here is where YOU come in: I need to have 5 recorded coaching sessions to review with my Mentor/Master Coach before submitting my transcripts and recordings for my application to graduation.

While I have existing clients to choose from, I would like to find 3-5 NEW clients to work with in May/June. I am looking for anyone who wishes to work on 1) life or career transitions 2)opportunities/blocks before you 2) executive coaching and 3) life skills and 4) anything that you wish to explore that will improve your life.

My rate will be $150/hr (reduced more than 50% from what my current clients pay). If your employer has a coaching reimbursement program, I can provide you with my business receipts needed for reimbursement WITHOUT providing details of the session information.

You are not committed to continuing working with me after the session, but you do commit to being recorded (for academic reasons only, which will never be made public) and to be fully present/engaged in the session. If you decide to stay on for more sessions, I will honor the rate and will not require a contract.

If you have ever wanted to explore working with a veteran, highly trained, and successful coach (doing this for more than 3 years now), THIS is your chance! Direct message me or text me for scheduling. When I have fulfilled my needs, I will be booking at my full rate and placing you on the waitlist for my fall sessions.

Please forward this to others that you think might be interested!

Hot off the press: Graceful Emergence is re-opened for new clients!
After taking a year off to grow and advance my knowledge and skills for my two passions (decarbonization and coaching skills) I am reopening my books to work with more clients. These client hours will contribute to another coaching certification through the International Coaching Federation accreditation and are dedicated to the service of others.

My practice focuses on helping my coachees to be the best version of themselves; whether the focus is on their career, home, community, or all of the above, we will work together to overcome barriers and take advantage of opportunities.

Do you need more balance in your life? Do have a nagging sense that there is more out there for you? Are you facing a challenge or growth moment where additional support can be helpful? Do you want to build new skills and improve your habits? Do you need an accountability partner to explore your true and endless source of motivation?

The uniqueness of my coaching practice is that I will coach through any of these questions as my education, training, skills, and experiences are all focused on human connections and growth.

Available hours are evenings and weekends, and rates are significantly reduced as I work through my certification. I will close my books as soon as they are full and return to a waitlist. Visit Gracefulemergence.com or contact me for more information.

As always, I am so incredibly grateful to be doing this work, in service to others!

Love tending to my gardens and witnessing the celebration of growth! And finally after 3 years, I have my peony blooming… reminder of patience.

At the playground this morning, Isaac quietly disappeared. I found him inside a wooden playhouse, sitting and listening to wind chimes someone graciously donated to the space. After a moment I asked if he was okay, to which he replied “I’m listening to the music the wind makes”. I’m grateful for his mindfulness, I hadn’t even noticed.

On Thursday I was able to keynote panel for an international conference of 700+ professionals. It had been 553 days since I wore a suit, 553 days since I spent the day in the professional presence of others. 553 days!! The feedback was amazing from the panel and I cherished every moment. It doesn’t feel normal yet, but the moment felt more valuable and connecting than I ever remember. I’ve spoken at thousands of conferences, but this felt like my first time. So grateful!
