You're Invited: Lead Yourself First (Points of You Workshop)

Several years ago I found myself in a tough spot. I had recently quit my job to start my business (for the second time) and five months later my husband was unexpectedly downsized from his. With the loss of two corporate incomes, we found ourselves in a situation where we had to sell our dream house of 17 years and move into a temporary rental that I hated, while he was looking for a new job.

It didn’t take long until he landed something, but it was 2 hours from our rental. For six months, he worked there while I lived alone in our rental with the dogs. Meanwhile, I wasn’t certain what direction I was taking with my company, so I found myself in a very depressed place and not in control of my circumstances.

One day while sitting on the couch, I saw an old friend of mine walking her Yorkie. I thought about calling her to see if I could come with her, but I didn’t. The next week, there she was again. This time I picked up the phone and she was delighted to have me join her. For two weeks Tina and I walked our Yorkies... and during that time, I noticed something significant had happened...for two weeks all I did was complain about life.

There came a point in our conversations where I was sick of hearing myself complaining and I apologized to her for it. She was so kind, she said she didn’t notice, but since it was bothering me, she wanted to introduce me to two coaching tools. One launched my journey to become ICF certified. The other became a tool I have used for years with my clients and myself to help me see past areas where I get stuck or answer my own questions to challenges in my life or tap into my creativity. Basically, to lead myself and take charge in the areas I could control.

The second tool is called Points of You. It’s a coaching game that uses phototherapy to help people access the right brain (the side less used in our society). I’ve used these tools on some of the most challenging audiences, including a team of engineers who sell hydraulics and semiconductors.

The result… an untapped potential of amazing creativity.

I also used them on myself to get out of my own way, to stop complaining and to see the opportunities I had in front of me. These tools have been integral in my ability to unlock my creativity and come up with new ideas.

For example, I created my 5-year business plan, developed keynote speeches, outlined my book, and designed training programs and content calendars. In addition, I’ve helped countless clients have breakthroughs in sales, mindset, and leadership. I love the tools so much that I became certified to train others how to use them. And, most importantly, I have reduced the amount of complaining about my life because I can now see the potential instead of being stuck in the crud.

That brings me to the point of this email to you… I’m working on a new keynote about infusing fun in the workplace and I pulled out my Points of You game (which I’ll be using in the keynote) and decided it’s time to train some other coaches, consultants, therapists, teachers, managers, and any other professionals who work with other people, to use these tools with their people.

If you’re interested in adding a new tool to your business to support your clients or your employees, then join me for a free 2-hour workshop where we’ll use the tools to support you in one challenging area of your life or business. And, if you like this experience, I’ll share with you how you can enroll in my upcoming Points of You Level 1, Explorer experiential training (bonus: you earn 6 CCEUs for ICF too).

Please click this link now if you would like to join me in the free introduction to Points of You. You’ll gain insight into how the Coaching Game works by experiencing the impact on yourself first. The best part...you too will have a tool to help you lead yourself first! (I can't be the only one getting stuck out here).

The workshop is Wed, Jul 19th from 12n-2p PACIFIC TIME. If you’re ready to uplevel your leadership skills, come join me.
