Good Monday morning! I hope you have had a satisfying and restorative weekend and are starting the week off with a clear mind; goals set, and feel ‘in your grove’.
I decided to do something a little different for you today as we are in the last days of summer. About this time of year many people start to focus on picking up vital new skills and improving business as kids go back to school and summer turns into fall. September is as big or bigger for planning than January.
A life well lived is a life full of pursuing continuing education. I am always looking at areas where I can awaken my spirit and improve business, and part of my joy is in sharing it. It is the coach that lives in me.
I have a great book recommendation for you today called Power Questions that can really help you enhance your communications and relationships.
