WEEKLY VISION DROP
Tip of the Week - Relationships. How we treat each other. Our connections with one another. The ways we interact. How we support and care for one another. This is the key to happiness?
Relationships matter in business. Relationships matter at home. Relationships matter in sports. Relationships matter in personal success.
Bottom line: relationships are critical. That’s why we put relationships front and center, as we work one-on-one with our clients, helping them advance in the direction of their dreams.
No matter the client, we begin our work by getting to know them-- their practical goals, perceived strengths and concerns, interests, quirks and tendencies, aspirations, and more. It’s important for their ultimate success to ensure that we all start from the same place, with the same expectations, working together toward the same objectives - (ahem, alignment)
Quality relationships don’t always form organically, though. In fact, they often take intentional work and attention.
Take initiative. The people helping you are likely to follow your lead. If you’re serious about your stuff, then they’re more likely to invest their maximum time, energy, and effort on your behalf. Ask questions. If you want help, ask for it. Ask follow up questions. Ask clarifying questions. Ask “stupid” questions. Your questions help the person helping you help you more effectively. Ask ‘em. Be receptive to feedback. You might not agree with everything you hear, but you’d be wise to figure out where it’s coming from and how you can incorporate it. Listening between the lines also reveals new opportunities for questions, clarification, and growth.

8/3019 WEEKLY VISION DROP THERE IS MORE IN THE LESS
Have you ever felt like you were not a good coach? A good mom or a good employee, and because of that, you thought you needed to do more.
have you thought you needed to do or give:
More options for clients
More money on things for your family
More sports for your kids
More tutoring for your kids
More clothing for yourself or your family
More ideas for your clients
More contact with loved ones or more contact with clients
More interactions with loved ones or clients
More dinners as a family
More Facebook, more Social media for work
More workouts
More friends
More clients
More content work
Remember we can:
Say less and just listen ( listen for ways to have something in common )
Be more present with the current interactions you have with clients so that they feel more connected to you, rather than more interactions
Being more present at the current family dinners, instead of added family dinners
Making your current workouts really count, instead of more workouts
Improve the quality of your feedback -- not more feedback
Enhance your vocabulary to be more articulate listening to podcasts
Make meaningful conversations count ( in many cases one good talk to your mom a week is better than 30 quick texts )
Ask direct questions, rather than doing most of the talking
Focus on one thing you did personally that could help someone but then give them two to three choices too
Tip of the Week - Chose two things you are already doing every day that you can do with more intention. One family-related and one client-related.
Discovery Question - In your coaching career, look for something you could take away that would allow you to increase the quality of something else. What is it? Share with your senior coach.
Content Link - https://www.rebeccaelvy.com/2018/02/06/focus-doing-less/
Great link to share with clients about this same subject
Personal Development Link- https://coachthelifecoach.com/make-great-life-coach/ see what the internet is saying about what makes a great life coach.
Tip of the Week - When you get that gut feeling, just go with it. You don’t have to use the actual words I dare you but could be “I need you to ___, would you be willing to____, What if we took this off the table____ How would you feel about _____
Discovery Question - What if you would not fail? What would you do in your health journey if you had no fear? Is fear and failure related?
Content Link - Kaelin’s consistency gameplan https://youtu.be/86ivo31U-n8?list=PLYWcJPkJUpH0Dsusx2vdM1znBO8sW7vzP
Do you have a daily coaching gameplan?
Personal Development Link- Are you feeling like you have to be perfect to coach perfect? https://www.acefitness.org/education-and-resources/professional/certified/may-2018/6989/overcoming-imposter-syndrome
Action alleviates anxiety and i believe perfectionism as well. Imposter syndrome is a form of perfectionism.

What type of coach are you? Do you have a word that sums it up?
I want to be a CATALYST not only for clients but for coaches too.
Tip of the Week - Where Focus goes, energy flows- Tony Robbins Are you focused on clients that are flailing around without a life jacket? Or the ones swimming toward you? How about in your own life?
Discovery Question - How laser focused are you about what you want? On a scale from 1-10? Clients weight loss, health, strength, body fat %,
You? Personal professional

Tip of the Week -
The One Thing!!!
We are reading the book the one thing and it has given me such a sense of relief of how I operate best.
schedule out every second of my day vs chunking time slots
scheduled I personally feel squeezed out of all ideas.
Chunking gives me creativity=brain power
Also putting Brandon’s challenge checking out how many pickups of my phone has made me realize(again) that I don’t operate best multi tasking when trying to use all of my brain power. I do multitask in the shower- podcast, cooking/meal prep listening to voxes/coaching/podcasts, driving- always podcasts.
Also Jessica shared on audible that you can take notes while listening so you can go back and relisten.
So if overwhelm starts to sink in, going back to The One Thing- that is going to make all other things easier or unneccessary!

Ed Mylett with Shawn White https://edmylett.libsyn.com/how-to-reach-your-ultimate-goal-with-shaun-white
One of my big takeaways in this interview is Shawn’s older brother was also a good snowboarder but would choke under pressure while Shawn would thrive. The mindset control is amazing:)
I was mortified that people were telling my kids that you don't have to love what you do.
Not in our house.
We have passion for what we do. Do you?

- Tip of the Week -
The things that SUCK in your life are the reasons why people follow you.
Make my MESS, my MESSAGE!
Lie #1 - Nobody wants to hear my story.
Truth #1 - The easiest way for people to know, like, and trust you is to share your story.
Lie #2 - My story isn’t powerful enough.
Truth #2 - Your breakdowns will become your breakthroughs.
Lie #3 - If people really know me they wouldn’t like me.
Truth #3 - People connect more with your pain than your success.
- Discovery Question -
Tell me how you felt when/ doing/ after_________?
I love getting a list of tips that I’m supposed to do. There’s something about going down the list, checking off the ones I’m doing and giving myself a grade. (Maybe I need a new hobby😂)
But If you’re like me and want to look at a list, check this out….
Dr. Brené Brown on Faking It, Perfectionism and Living Wholeheartedly | SuperSoul Sunday | OWN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKV0BWSPfOw
Ugh, that vulnerability hangover.
It’s a real thing.
Take a peek at Pulling Back the Curtain with Natalie Hodson
https://castbox.fm/episode/Vulnerability-Hangover-id1471445-id137347420?country=us
Just like Brene Brown says, “when you own your story, that story no longer has power over you.” I’ll probably never quit sharing my stories. It’s just a part of who I am. The less shame I have around my stories and my past, the more I have been able to live wholeheartedly, and frankly just be a happier person.
When is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes? Not texting, talking or even thinking?
Yeah, I’m not sure when that was.
Maybe I should try…
