Just Another Manic Monday

by Judy Klipin

Today did not start off very productively.  Unless you count frustration as productive in which case I could have won a prize.

Between last minute cancellations by clients, the incessant drilling coming from my neighbour that forced me to flee my home and seek sanctuary in a coffee shop and sales calls from Google ads I did not manage to accomplish even half of what I was hoping for when I woke up all optimistic and excited for the new week this morning.

Having said that, however, after a shaky (and, I confess, somewhat grumpy) start, I did manage to achieve some coaching-related results:

  • Two excellent (by which I mean fun, insightful and illuminating) client sessions,
  • I sent out the application forms for my Adult Child Coach Training course that I will be starting next month – 2 deposits were paid within a couple of hours!
  • I planned the youth coaching workshop I will be facilitating on Saturday (I donate coaching time to organizations working with Youth at Risk every month as part of my Personal Social Responsibility practice)

I also just got a very moving email from a reader who wanted to thank me for writing my book (Life Lessons for the Adult Child).  I love getting feedback like that; the reason I wrote that book was so that people who can’t afford or access coaching can work through it on their own and apply the tools and techniques in their lives.  Every time I get a mail from someone who has been doing just that my heart swells with joy – and maybe a little pride.

What started off as a somewhat trying day got better and better as it progressed!  I am hoping that the week will continue in this vein….

Feeling overwhelmed in your life, work or relationships?
