Musings, Inspiration and Life-Making Tips From Coach Joelle

Archive for October, 2006

Happy Halloween! When I woke up this morning I was very clear that I needed to extend to you the Make Your Life Halloween challenge!

 

As many of you know, we launched the Make Your Life Program October 2nd and the process has been amazing as the group applies the principles of powerful life-making to their lives.  The result…   passionate, powerful people, taking action and living the life they have imagined and we are only half way through!

 

On Monday’s call we asked the question “Who Are You…Really?” and the answer was a delightful surprise as participants found out that they are not their bad habits or their roles or their titles or what they have done in the past. They are not their fears or insecurities and they are not even their accomplishments!  No, who they are is unlimited possibility and with that comes the ability to create themselves as anything they choose.

 

Which brings us to the Make Your Life Halloween Challenge…

 

Halloween is the day of mystery, a day of play and make-believe.  Halloween is a time for dressing up and being something that you are not. It is the day that managers are nurses and bank tellers are vampires and legal assistants are cheerleaders. It is the day when you get to wake up and be anyone or anything you want.  So, this Halloween I invite you to go in the scariest disguise of all! This Halloween I invite you to go as yourself! …But not just any old version of yourself! Not the “you” that you are on a daily basis, oh no, I invite you to go as the you that you would be if you were confident, powerful, comfortable in your own skin, fearless and passionate!  I invite you for just this day to be the “you” that you imagine.

 

Tips for your passionate powerful YOU costume

 

1) Notice how would you stand and walk as your best YOU!

2) Notice how you would talk as your best YOU!  Would you say things like “I hope” and “I’ll try” or would you say “ I WILL”  “Watch me!”

3) What would fearless YOU take on today?

4) What phone call, bold offer or powerful action would passionate YOU dare to do?

5) Or maybe it is peaceful YOU you will be exploring and today you need to settle in with a latte and do some quiet paperwork with Mozart in the background before you leave early for a massage.

 

And so, If you dare… I invite you to take on the Make Your Life Halloween Challenge! In the words of Thoreau

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

 

Try it on for a day and see what happens!

 

With “very scary” love,

 

Joelle

Are You Making Your life?!

Hello everyone! One of the things I am totally jazzed about these days is the new Coach Joelle  Make Your Life: The Power of Creation Program!

 

We have an incredible group of people in the program and already in week one the energy, the creative power and the lives that are being made as a result are BLOWING MY MIND!  I decided to share a little email I sent the group so that you could get a feel for what we are up to and perhaps spur you into thinking about how you can make your life!

 

Part of the first lesson of the Make Your Life Program ( Welcome to the Wonder of living Life on Purpose!) is the importance of planning.  But we are not talking your average plan! Oh no, in the Make Your Life Program we are planning with Gusto! Here is a little I shared with the group on my own planning process:

 

THE PLAN: I am so excited because this is my scheduled time to plan! Friday afternoon 1:00 for 4+ hours I will be making the plan for the next 2 -6- 12- possibly 24 months of my life!  Whew! I am grateful for the opportunity and I am doing some last things before I pull myself away from my computer and my desk to go find an inspired place to create.  Yes, it is tempting to let one thing lead into another and so on and so on until it is 5:00 but I will not let that happen because I know from experience, my life depends on this planning process.

 

How about you? Do you have a plan for your life? If you have not taken the time to create a plan, why is that?  Make it fun, make it in full color, make it your saturday activity with a latte!  Planning is the start of creating a life that delights and inspires you.

 

One excercize we take on the program is creating a list of what is limiting the life you want to create.  Here is a tidbit from my own list! 

 

LIFE LIMITER LIST: The very first thing on my life limiter list is that my digital camera has needed a new battery for not 1 not 2 not 5 but 8 months! It just sits there and taunts me  (it is a ridiculous long story, the details of which I will spare us all) and there is sooo much I want to do with it.  So, this morning, I looked online and found a camera store and I map-quested the directions and I called them and they have the battery and by 12:55 today, I will have a working camera!!

 

What are the things on your list that are just stomping on your joy? What bold action could you take before Monday to begin to clear out those things that are limiting, annoying and frustrating you in your life?

 

One of the most powerful things we do in the Make Your Life Program is each person gets to declare the life the want to create.  If you could fill in the blank… My________ Life.  What  would you fill it with? I chose my Delightful life! Here is a little bit about how since Monday, the delight is already showing up!

 

MY DELIGHTFUL LIFE:  Words cannot describe fully what has happened for me in the past 3 days, since I declared my Delightful life.  Let’s just put it this way, I have had more delightful conversations in the past 2 days than I have had in the last month, I had 3 new people show up in my life who were excitedly referred to me by clients, I had the opportunity to be recorded in a round table discussion last night which will be broadcast to a national audience (it was really cool!) and this morning I started the day with a photo shoot for my involvement in a grassroots movement to energize the Cleveland Community.  As I was getting ready to send out this email, my coach called me to tell me was featuring me in his newsletter which goes out to 70,000 people (nice)  and if that wasn’t enough, over the past couple days I have had several instances of spontaneous joy! For those who are not familiar with the concept of “spontaneous Joy”, it looks something like this… while I am walking across the parking lot towards my car, I suddenly, out of nowhere, burst into a rousing chorus of “The Yellow Submarine”!  Now that my friends, is how you know life is truly delightful!

 

I invite you to declare your _____ life and identify how you could start bringing the ________ (joy, passion, peace, fun) into your hours today!  Have a brilliant weekend.  Here’s to many moments of spontaneous joy!

 

Love,

 

Coach Joelle

Hello my dear friends. I wrote this today to acknowledge an inspired group of individuals who I have the priveldge of playing with here in the Cleveland Area. I wanted to share it  with you.

 

 

Community, Inspiration and Connection… that’s my town

 

January is an interesting time for a Canadian, living in Arizona, to make the move to Ohio! But It could happen to you!  A little internet dating and a whole lot of chemistry and next thing you know I’m living in the North East!  Along with the major change in climate and a brand new marriage, I also started a new adventure in my business. Enter, Coach Joelle, inc. a personal development company with global reach, created from the comfort of my NE Ohio Home.  Not long into this new life, I was noticing my husband was leaving me mighty early Friday mornings. Hmmm, not the Jeff I had come to know and love.  I had troubles getting him out of bed on a Wednesdays, what could have him bouncing out the door at 7am on a Friday?!  The mystery was revealed one day when he declared that he was ready to share, he wanted me to join him that Friday morning!  As it turns out, the secret society was not so secret….Midtown Mornings, Friday’s 7:30 am, the office of Nead Brand Partners.

 

What makes up a Midtown Morning you ask? Well take one part great coffee (heck, they even have their own signature brand from Phoenix Coffee!), one part bagels, one part community and connection, add some inspired speakers, throw in a couple of guys named Mark for good measure, stir with energy energy energy and you have a Midtown Morning! 

 

Being a Professional Coach, I crave meaningful conversation and others who are here to make a difference…It seemed without trying, I had found my new home.  Through my connection with the Midtown business community I have found kindred spirits, a direct line of access to pretty much anyone in greater Cleveland, weekly education and inspiration, a crew to play and Midtown Brew with, and last but not least, after searching the country for a branding company that would take Coach Joelle inc. to the next level, it turns out I needed look no further than a midtown morning. Today Midtown,…. tomorrow the world! 

 

Carpe Midtown!

 

Coach Joelle :-)
