When the path ahead doesn’t look clear, our priorities get jumbled and we are not decisive on thinking clearly and cohesively. Often, we become disorganized, surrounding ourselves with non-essentials that block our thinking. Our goals move farther away from us and instead of taking action, we tend to find ourself in a state of overwhelm. Because your business is always changing, adjusting and growing, you need have a cohesive knowledge to stay on track and adhere to your vision. As a leader, you need to communicate your vision to your team, co-workers, colleagues and the community on a daily basis to keep energized and focused. Jodi Weitz, life and professional coach, discusses the ways we can enhance our focus to get closer to solutions that bring clear, cohesive thinking.
We all bring our perceptions and assumptions to our lives. But this can limit the risks that we're willing to take and hamper our personal growth. To challenge our preconceptions, we need to look at our actions in a number of areas, such as negative self-talk, becoming aware of our preferences, removing the "should's" and others. Jodi Weitz, life and professional coach discusses the ways we can allow ourselves to reframe out thoughts, actions and intentions to open up exciting possibilities in our lives.
Questions offer insights about how your life is flowing. It’s easy to go through our day without a thought about how it could be better or what we need to let go of to bring ease and simplicity to our lives. The beginning and end of the year are potent times to reflect on your life. It’s a time to dig deep and decide whether you’re on track with your life’s goals or whether you need to establish changes to course correct. Even if you are not measuring goals, enriching questions can help you to get at your own personal "state of the union." Jodi Weitz, life and professional coach, offers a number of questions to help you to find the answers you need to make 2022 your best year ever.

Habits can be positive or negative in our life. Some are useful, but others are counter-productive to our personal and professional growth. Breaking unwanted habits can be difficult, especially if you have been doing them for a long time and not aware of these unconscious actions. Jodi Weitz, life and professional coach discusses the triggers that may be involved in creating habits and how we can break away from these limitations that hold us back in our lives. For more information about Jodi's coaching services or to hear more episodes, visit https://www.yourspectacularlife.com.
We all want to bring innovation to the way we solve problems. Because we tend to use the same set of logic in framing or defining solutions, we limit creativity without looking at it in a new way or expanding a whole range of possibilities. If we describe the issue you're trying to solve in a different way, or look at it from a different angle, new solutions can emerge. Jodi Weitz, life and professional coach discusses methods to get the creative process flowing to effectively unravel problems so that new insights can arise.

Whether you’re in a relationship with friends, work colleagues or in a romantic partnership, listening may be the greatest contribution you can bring to your relationships. Active or deep listening is at the heart of every healthy relationship. It’s also the most effective way to bring about growth and change between the two parties. When people are heard, they tend to be more open, more democratic in their ways, and are often less defensive. The most important aspect of listening carefully is that we’re telling the other person that we care about what they’re saying. The flip side is also true. When we listen to others with openness and without criticism, then chances are they will be more inclined to listen to us in the same way.

In past years, we expected "normal" changes. Stock market ups and downs, a rise in fall of our salaries, new stamps added to our passports. But 2020 brought enough upheaval to last a life time, especially the unprecedented changes from the pandemic.
Covid changed our way of life and the world will never be the same. While many of these were based around restricting the way we lived, schooled, traveled, and socialized, it did one thing that was unexpected. It allowed us to slow down and evaluate the way that we lived each day.
