The Bright Side of Fake Spring ??

The Bright Side of Fake Spring ??

Do you have “Fake Spring” where you live? Every year in the Pacific NW, Mother Nature gives us a 5-day respite from the rain and cold. This usually happens right around the time most of us are thinking of taking up permanent residence in Cabo: early March. This year, she did not disappoint. 5 days of glorious sun reminded me why we love it here and why we stay. It just so happened that Fake Spring coincided with the first veggie planting of the year. We’ve got kale, snap peas, microgreens, spinach, scallions, cabbage, and radishes trucking along under their row covers. Of course it’s back to rain now… probably for the next 3 months. But Fake Spring gave me that boost I needed to keep my feet firmly planted.

As a specialist, I like to go deep. And this time of year, I get to see how planting intentional seeds to germinate really starts to pay off. As we move from winter to spring, I see the natural world reflected in the work I do: clients breaking through the mud and stepping into the light. That’s not fake at all.


Spotlight

Congratulations to client Sara K. whose regional conference plenary talk was packed to the gills.

"I nailed the opening and transition as well as the closing... I had lots of folks come up after the presentation... I really, really appreciate all your help leading up to this point. You are awesome! I will be in touch for more of our coaching!"

Star Program of the Quarter?

During a recent masterclass for successful entrepreneurs, I started by asking participants to share their biggest public speaking issues. One woman, a highly ambitious and experienced business leader told me, “None. I’ve been doing this for years.” But by the end of the class, here’s what she said:

“I’m a confident speaker but I never even thought about warming up my voice before I present. It seems so obvious now how important this is! I’ve got to check out your course.”?

This quarter’s star course is practical, quick, and effective. In Create Your Personalized Public Speaking Warm Up, you learn how to create your own warm up for your voice, breath, and body. Check it out. Use code FAKESPRING at checkout for 20% off this week only!


Center Stage

In case you missed it… here are the most popular newsletters from the past 3 months.?


Behind the Curtain

Here are the best ways to work with me in Q2.?

  • Star Power Signature Coaching: Do you want to improve your speaking overall? This is for you if you need to speak in order to lead a team / grow your business / advance your career, or you have a presentation coming up and have a runway of at least 4 weeks.?
  • Polished Presenter VIP Day: Do you have a presentation or speech coming up soon, or you want to polish your keynotes / core speaking offers? This is a good match for speakers who already know their topics and have basic scripts or outlines.?
  • Team or Group Training: A bespoke training event created especially for the needs of your organization.

Book a Clarity Call (or send me a message) to see which program is best for you.




It's incredible how the changing seasons mirror the growth we witness in our work, isn't it? Planting those seeds of intention and nurturing them throughout the colder months truly pays off when we see our clients emerge into their full potential as spring arrives. Looking forward to diving into your quarterly round-up and celebrating the progress!
