A Day of Coaching for Causes is one week from today, Wednesday, May 17th.

What is it?
A Day of Coaching for Causes provides the unique opportunity to experience the impact of the coaching experience while giving back by donating to one of our C4C causes.

Who is C4C for?
Everyone! One coaching session can support you in many ways and on infinite topics. For example, I partner with individuals feeling stuck in their career or at a professional crossroads. Other C4C coaches support individuals experiencing grief or loss, looking to take their leadership skills to the next level, trying to identify their professional next steps after graduation or how to move from being an employee to a manager.

Even one coaching session can have great impact to "unstick you," move you forward and into action.

How does it work?

- Visit CoachingforCauses.com to meet our C4C coaches
- Select the coach you would like to work with, email them to connect and schedule your one-on-one session.
- Make a tax-deductible donation to any of the charities listed our site (you can donate to any of the causes and to work with any coach, you are not limited to a coaches’ preferred charity)
- Join your call on May 17th and experience the power of coaching.

Please DM or email me (or any of our coaches) with any questions or to join this amazing day of coaching.

I am excited to announce the launch Coaching for Causes!

Coaching for Causes celebrates two main principles of the coaching profession—being of service and making a difference.

Now through November 18th, book a coaching session with one of our seven skilled, certified coaches in exchange for a small donation to a cause close to our hearts. For more information, to meet our coaches and book your session, please visit www.coachingforcauses.com

Happy 2022!

What will you pursue this year?

It was amazing to participate in the WLA Coachathon yesterday...I had the pleasure of working with four incredible solopreneurs, supporting them in their business planning, customer journey mapping, and overall growth plans.

And the best part, we were just four of the goal-breaking 800 sessions conducted globally raising money to support female entrepreneurs in Subsaharan Africa.

I look forward to next year and following the successes of the women supported during this incredible day.

WLA Coachathon 2021 - Thank you for making it possible! Catch up on our 5pm closing session as we hand over the baton to the US coaches. What a phenomenal, life-changing day! THANK YOU!

Who could use a little professional reset going into the end of the year and preparing for what comes next?

Join me for a coaching session to reset, reboot, and move you energetically forward into the new year while supporting a great cause.

Thank you for all the amazing messages celebrating the four-year anniversary of CKL Strategy! It has truly been an adventure, especially the last 18-months as for so many others.

I am truly grateful for the support of family, friends, and my incredible professional network to build a business I love and am very proud of.

I look forward to years ahead of coaching, consulting, writing, and editing, supporting my clients; always learning and growing.

When your coaches schedule a 7am retreat, you enjoy the first light on your morning walk. My morning walk with Bug is a non negotiable no matter the early hour.

What are your daily must do’s/must haves?

This article focuses more on college graduates, but job seekers at all levels may not apply for positions if they do not tick every line of the qualifications section...this is more common with women who oftentimes pass over a position they are more than qualified for.

You Don’t Need to Meet Every Qualification to Apply for a Job Think of qualifications as a set of guidelines, not strict requirements.

I was honored to be invited to talk with ProMatch members this past week on how to rediscover themselves in their job search.

We had a great and lively discussion focusing on a few key grounding exercises during fast hour together.

More research and insight into the future of employment and to return/not return to an office, many people have moved to different states during the pandemic and now say they would not relocate for a job.

Move to a New City for Work? No Thanks Job seekers are hesitating to relocate, a trend accelerated by the pandemic but also related to family and financial factors.

I love new ideas and ways to help reduce personal and work stress.

- Wake up - all rumination (which causes stress) happens when we are not focused on what we are doing, you must break out of it physically or mentally

- Control your attention - redirect yourself to areas in which you can take useful action

- Put things in perspective - Three techniques: contrasting (comparing past stress to the current one), questioning, and reframing (looking at your challenge from a new angle)

- Let Go - By acknowledging that whether you like the situation or not, it is the way it is, learning the lesson and then acting, what needs to happen

Pressure Doesn’t Have to Turn into Stress Four steps to stop it.

Fun Fact Saturday: When originally coined, "Priority" meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities.

That pluralization creates unrealistic expectations from managers to their teams as they try to sort out what to do first. How do you help your teams work through growing lists of priorities?
