Spring Shifts by Design -Reflect, Renew & Redirect

I am all about Designing 

the life you want!

It's Spring and time for me to Reflect, Renew and Redirect! 

Another revelation is that it's time to Paint My Dining Room. 

It has been the center of some amazing meals, love and shared laughter. 

• The annual Manifesting Your Dreams & Goals Workshop has held space in that room. 
• Many hours of manifesting, meditation and life changing conversations have been spoken between those walls!
• Friendships have been forged.
• Business connections have been initiated!
• Power & Productivity enclosed between 4 walls.

Pictures of the walls have appeared in over 2 dozen publications that I am aware of: newsletters, ebooks, video seminars, blogs, posts and more...

The room has served us well and now it is time to renew and restore it back to it's original... if not better state. 

We have all been doing the work and I am proud to say that I have outgrown it's words and intention. All that was manifested has become a reality... in it's own form and I am moving along my path in this

 journey by MY design.

So, farewell to the writing and the walls that have comforted and held space for me.... US... POSITIVE to the core.

As I move forward, I am of service & have a special offer ! 

Let me help you create a beautiful space for you...

Blog Connect: Best Foot Forward!

Today is about Connecting: Socially, Professionally and Personally.


I have had four people tell me this week that they didn't want to craft their profile, bio, letter of intent or correspondence about themselves strategically. They want to throw it out there and have people take them as they are...

I hear a lot of... they take me as I am, this is the real me, I am not fake, I am not going to pretend...

That has nothing to do with it... Words are powerful and crafting them thoughtfully to Put Your Best Foot Forward is Smart. No one wants to hear you talk negatively. You get a very short amount of time to catch someone's attention. They say 6 seconds before they move on.

A Personal advertisement online and on paper is the Best You. Be You... But, be the charming You.

 1 in 5 people getting married today have met online....

So much of life is how you present yourself.

It's not being fake or presenting a false picture of yourself... It is putting your best foot forward...

Dating Basics: GPS of Break Ups...

We all hate confrontation, disappointing or the idea hurting someone. But, How do you end a relationship?

• Go silent and just disappear?
• Be wishy washy and confuse the situation so that the other person doesn't know whether they should stay or go?
• Start a fight so that the other person breaks up with you?
• Create chaos to distract the other person and throw them off?
• Be Honest and kind?
• OR Honest and brutal?

What is your break-up style? I hear so many different tactics and they are all just a little too complicated for me...

If you aren't a good fit... You aren't a good fit. Isn't it better just to tell the person that instead of leaving things open ended and up in the air? Really no need to go into a big explanation as to why you are not a good fit. That can just hurt people's feelings. What's the point? Isn't it better to have one short conversation when you know instead of waiting around until things are so uncomfortable that you have no choice but to have, "the talk?"  

So, if I know that they are not meant to be for the long haul, 

I let them know as soon as possible. 

Clearly... Simply... "I think you are a wonderful person, but we just aren't a good fit."

Leaving your reaction open to interpretation will never lead to a clear and decisive end... 

When you say, "it's not you... it's me." That leaves room for people to think that you may get your act together and they could be back in the future. 

If you say nothing encouraging or discouraging, thinking that they will just loose interest and float away... It may cause them to think that you are interested and just need to work a little harder... 

What about the disappearing act? Do you know people in the same circles? Live in the same geographic area? Do you cringe every time you hear your phone ring or worry who you may run into around every corner? 

A little uncomfortable up front saves you from a heck of A LOT of uncomfortable later....

If I know that we are not a match made in heaven... 

I let them know as soon as possible. 

Clearly... Simply... "I think you are a wonderful person, but we just aren't a good fit."

THE END!

The things that we say and do... What Happened to Etiquette?

Oh... the things that we say and do... 

The anonymity of online or written word has led to some bad behaviors.

It's a big topic with social interaction. I am getting complaints left and right about people making rude comments in writing that they would never make in person.

Dating: Does anonymity make you braver, bolder or more apt to push the envelope? Women are getting propositioned and approached like they would never be addressed in person.

I heard the analogy years ago... "We men cast a wide net and see what bites." 

"Ask many and someone will say yes." 

Maybe that is the same mentality with the written word and dating... Send out the normally offensive proposal and see who says yes???? I am not sure. Faceless, nameless seams to temper the fear and definitely create a veil for poor etiquette and discarded class. Does anyone for one moment think that anything healthy or positive can come of such interactions? A hook-up is easy everyday of every week. I guarantee that any woman could make it happen in less than an hour if that is what she wanted...

Networking: I was a guest on a radio show this week and the host was so irritated by her Facebook page and issues with members of her group, that we spent 16 minutes of a 30 minute interview discussing the etiquette of social media and how she could get people to better connect and engage. That was not the topic that we were supposed to address. So much frustration.

If you are only interested in yourself, your needs, wants and desires... Post online incessantly about your offer... on every page and empty post that you can find... You are only going to isolate yourself. More is not necessarily better. You will alienate your audience.

When you post in a group or on a page... notice the culture of the members involved. Check out the pinned post and rules at the top. Be conscious and courteous. Be your charming self online and in person. Be consistent. You may be the loveliest person face to face... BUT, if you act without integrity online... that is how you will be perceived in person.... Work smarter not harder....

 Creating Better Business Relationships 

for

Introvert & Extrovert Entrepreneurs

Etiquette Counts: In person, Online and in Writing. 

Those types of interactions are not leading to true Connections. 

I am not even sure that they are leading to shallow Connections...

A nameless, faceless presence does not give people cart blanch to trample all over other people.

It's so much about the Me generation. If you honestly wish to connect in an authentic way with people... You need to switch from a ME to a WE. Be of service and think of others along your journey. That will only serve you in the end... Pay attention to your communication for 24 hours... How many times do you say Me or I? What about We or Us?   Food for thought... How do people related with you? Are you a ME or a WE?

Learn more on how to relate and create strong, authentic connections with others. I teach unique tools and techniques to learn how to make relationships that last a lifetime...

Join Me. I am the bridge that will guide you on your path from one side of the journey to the other with ease.... Release the fear and learn to communicate and connect with grace and ease...
