Wishing you a restful holiday and smooth transition into 2017!  Very best wishes, Daphne

Closing Out 2016

As 2016 comes to a close and you start focussing on 2017, it will help to clear the old year out before moving to the next one.

Try this exercise either in your office or in front of the fire with a glass of wine. It is designed to be a helpful review of the year and an opportunity to celebrate your successes.

These are the steps:

1. Leaf or scroll through your 2016 diary, looking a month at a time
2. Say to yourself, “I accomplished this………..” “I did that…………………..”
3. Close out each month
4. Think about what you are going to leave behind (physically & emotionally)
5. Think about what you want to take forward into the new year
6. Go through each month until the end of December
7. Once you have brought your year to a close you will be ready to move in to 2016. Wrap up the old and open the new!
8. Book your ‘Kickstart 2017’ coaching sessions with Daphne

Hello
I wouldn’t be ‘keeping in touch’ properly if you didn’t receive a Valentine’s message from me. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Last year I asked the question how much you love your clients and offered some ideas.

….Love you; love you not……. how much do you love yourself?

I’ve just read this great book, http://goo.gl/njZu5O which I recommend as a way to review your customer service and try some new ways of ’sharing the love’ with your clients. If you read it, please let me know what you think of it.

Having reserves of time and energy are really important for all of us, if we are to operate to our full potential. Here are some suggestions:

• Book your spring / summer holiday now!
• Take a Pause Day to review the year so far and think about the rest of 2014 http://goo.gl/qZGYiL
• Treat yourself to a short series of 1:1 coaching sessions, preferably with me!
• Book a massage or beauty treatment

Email me for a list of the ’12 Areas for a Richer Life’ – it’s a free resource to help you think about how you’re spending your energy. Have an honest conversation with yourself about it; and when you’re ready, I’d love to coach you to a Richer Life.

Coaching in person, on the phone or now via Skype @ daphneclifton

Enjoy your day!

Is a mid-career crisis real?
A recent study published by Ranstad, surveyed 45,000 employees from 32 countries.  The study found that employees between the ages of 35 -44 showed a decrease in job satisfaction.  Could this be goal and performance related?  Performance Coaching provides an opportunity to analyse and bring clarity to those areas that might have been overlooked. As one of my client says of coaching, “I feel like my brain has been to a health spa and come out revived and energised.”

Webinars for you
Would you like to network with more confidence and more effectively?  Need to reduce stress by managing your time more effectively?  Or do you need help tackling difficult conversations you have been dreading?   I’ve put together 3 free webinars based on these common issues my clients bring to the table. Visit our website to access them!
