WendyY Bailey, well-known Group Coaching Expert, joins us to discuss the awesome benefits of group coaching as another powerful service in your business ~ or how to do it successfully if you have already started down this road!
WendyY is going to give us Five Key Strategies to Get Started with Group Coaching NOW.

Affectionately called “WendyY” by her clients, business associates and coaching colleagues, she is a Master Certified Group Coach, Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner and Certified Experienced Coach.

Find out all the juicy details about Group Coaching on this show, and ask WendyY the questions you’ve really wanted answered on this subject!
Yes, its true - if you’re willing to be open, set your sights on your dream or goals, and do what needs to be done to get there, with a belief that it will happen - the world truly becomes your oyster! I am including a clip of my story, and bless his heart - my husband is interviewing me! For some of you, you’ll already know that speaking as a presenter at the International Coaching Federation is a big deal. Get a hint of how I created the opportunity. I hope you enjoy my first moment in front of the camera, and feel inspired!
What are you doing to stretch yourself, to help you grow and blossom into the message you really want to get out there!? Mmmm interesting question! It can be really easy as a business owner to fall into a rut doing things a certain way (and in our personal lives too!) and just get comfortable, not stretching ourselves. Thats where I love First’s! What do I mean by that? Well, I like to challenge myself to learn or do something new that I have never done before at least once a month - personally or professionally. And when I do that, I get to be really excited about what I’m doing, and start doing something that speaks to my audience or my clients or my friends in a different way than before! Sometimes its uncomfortable and scary, but as you push through the fears, and just allow yourself to play and explore, the possibilities that result can be enormous! And you get to be excited about life!! As part of standing out in your field so your clients will find you first, its important to try new technologies or ways of meeting your target audience or connecting in a different way. I wanted to share one of my ‘first’s’ with you! I made a video for the first time, and I really hope you enjoy it. It will be the first of many in way to connect with you in a more personal way. Let me know what you think! And before you watch it, ask yourself what can you do today (or tomorrow) that will stretch you, or that you would like to try, something even that you’ve been thinking about doing for a long time - maybe being interviewed on radio show, or going skydiving! The world truly is your oyster.
Psssst! I encourage you to give it a shot! I did it through an awesome website called www.onetruemedia.com Have fun!
Are you a hoarder? I was thinking about what that meant recently - the word is generally applied to people who collect items that pile up in their house, then I heard it applied to people who hoard animals! shocking. There are also those who are constantly shopping for that ultimate ‘deal’, but the item bought really doesn’t have much meaning. And then today as I was going through my laptop transferring info, I realised that I am an email/article/PDF hoarder - a compulsive collector! Wow what a revelation. I also recognise that hoarding is a result of some fear present underneathe our daily life. There is a scarcity mentality that creeps in from beliefs created from way back that aren’t supportive. My fear I guess is not being able to have the info available to me when I need it. Awareness is powerful as we get to make a decision of what we want to let go of, and to confront the fear that’s stopping us. So the question is, what are you hoarding that you might want to let go of….? This a very important Key to Clarity! When we let go, accept and choose how to be, we get to open up the flow of energy in our life and in our business. We attract more of what we want and less of what we don’t. Abundance flows, and we move out of scarcity which we were actually creating through our actions previously through those fears or beliefs. Just imagine the renewed flow of energy, and what that would mean to you.
Is your mind cluttered?
If you want to work on identifying obstacles that you’re creating without even realising it and want different and more impactful results in your life and/or business , consider working with a coach! And yes, even coaches work with a coach, as we often can’t see what we’re blinkered about in our own lives and business. A coach partners with you and sees the obstacles really clearly when we often have blinkers on around those things, habits or beliefs that are holding us back, thinking if we just keep trying, we will eventually be successful. The point clearly illustrated here through the beautiful quote from Einstein is ‘ The Definition of Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!’ Partnering with an objective party, will move you forward in ways you can only imagine. But do imagine.
PS! I just realised, my husband and I together are hoarders of bathroom products from hotels! lol you know the shampoo bottles, and sewing kits etc. mmm……
PPS!! If you’re not aware already, just a quick heads up that the lovely Michelle Schubnel from Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. is joining me tonight on my radio show at 7pm EST, to talk about ‘More Clients, Higher Profits,and Maximum Impact in 2010′ - just click on the big radio button on the right side of the page to join us.

Its key in our business, to acknowledge that we have certain strengths and skills - the ones that give us a buzz when we’re doing them or create untold JOY in our lives with the results they produce in our or others lives. Its also key to acknowledge that there are going to be a number of aspects to our business that we will not feel that way about, and that can ultimately start becoming obstacles and will start feeling like a stone around our neck, literally - a real sense of stuck-ness, and powerlessness. These obstacles stop us from growing, making an income, and helping others because we’re holding ourselves back. This is when we’re stuck in playing a small game, and getting mired down with detail.
Unlock the door...
Its time to reconnect with the bigger vision of why we’re doing what we’re doing. Get rid of the small detail stuff that feels cloying, and clutters our minds with ’should-ofs’ ‘musts’ ‘don’t know how but will figure it out somehow’ ‘I know I can do it if I put my mind to it’ ‘I can’t afford to do it’ around the issues that are holding us back. You owe it to yourself and your community you’re in service to, to get real with yourself, and start to let go. In letting go, we can focus on whats most important. We also get to give the pieces we don’t enjoy or have no skill, to someone who will totally embrace them because it’s what brings them joy! We get to focus on the important parts of our business, our core skills and gifts, and living into the bigger vision of our lives and business, not getting stuck in the small detail but looking at the amazing possibilities that the universe is constantly presenting to us. In opening up this space, flow starts to happen, and you and your business will jump forward in huge leaps and bounds! Are you ready for that? Well now that you have committed with a resounding yes, what will that first step be? I am letting go of having to know everything about setting up the details in my blog, also setting up my email /auto-responder system, just for starters. Just acknowledging this to myself feels truly liberating and empowering. I know you’ll feel the same way. And who is helping you get clear on your path in your business, clearing your way to making your vision into a prosperous and joyful reality. Its really important to have someone mentor you on this journey, to move you through these obstacle quickly, as we don’t see them for ourselves until we’re really and truly stuck. Not a great place to be in. So who is going to be that person for you? These are key elements to your moving forward with Joy, Momentum, Purpose & Clarity not only in 2010, but in this decade.
I coach and mentor individuals growing their businesses to the place where they can serve their clients with all of their being, so that everything is set up in flow and ease. It might be about letting go - whether its fears or obstacles or about creating that clear path of what’s next. If that feels appealing to you, call me and we can explore the possibilities of making this a reality for you through coaching with a complimentary call. Just click on the Contact tab at the top of the page.
I am passionate about your success, so you in turn can be more and do more in this world.
I am so excited to have an amazing woman, grace the airwaves with me on KeystoClarity! Radio tomorrow evening. ALI BROWN! She is an inspiring role model not only for me, but many women (and men!) who are entrepeneurs, small business owners and business owners making a difference in the world. Ali is a multi-millionaire, who started from scratch, and now has an amazingly successful business. What I love about the info Ali shares in her calls, emails, newsletters and magazine (yes she has her own magazine!) is that the content is always really valuable. This is something I always share with my clients. If you want to create credibility with your list, or followers, make sure the content you deliver is always valuable. I am rather disenchanted these days when I get onto teleseminars where there is lots of fluff, maybe 5 minutes of value and then an introduction to a product or program. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with having an informative call which might lead into an introduction - in fact I would recommend this as a great marketing tool, but make sure that the content of that call is great, through out! If you want to stand out, just as Ali does, this is one specific point to take away and emulate in your business. Well she is on my show tomorrow evening for the first time, and will be discusssing an important topic! How to be successful in starting a business during a down economy. And she is going to share the 3 biggest mistakes women entrepeneurs make and how to avoid them! Make sure you’re there to hear these gems! Just click on the big button on the right side of the page to BlogTalkRadio at 7pm EST tomorrow evening, and if you don’t get to listen LIVE, then go to the same link, and listen to the recording at your leisure. No worries about missing out! Just make sure to schedule it in!
I know there are lots of you out there percolating a book, in your consciousness, not quite knowing how to get started, or even believing its possible! Tonight I am going to be talking to my dear friend, the singing trainer, author and speaker, Keith Leon, who also owns a self-publishing business!
He is going to share all the resources you need, to get started. Discuss the concept, creating content, titles, even the marketing of your book. Keith is a powerhouse of knowledge on this subject! So join us on KeystoClarity! Radio tonight, to get all your questions answered, and assuage that curiousity. Believe it, anything is possible!!!
If you can’t make it LIVE, then rest assured that the call will be recorded. Just go to the same link in this post, or hit the big BTR button on the right side of the page, to listen. It will be up 5 mins after the call ends.
I got inspired this evening as I was catching up with CSI Miami! One of the investigators described something he had a serious aversion to as Kryptonite!
We all have things technically we could call our Kryptonite! Obstacles that we create that stop us, get in our way, take us off our game when we’re not looking. These can be hidden beliefs, that might have helped us at one time, but perhaps are now not serving us now. Or maybe expectations - those make relationships with others and ourselves difficult when we set parameters on outcomes - when we learn to let go of the outcome of our intentions, life becomes a lot easier. Judgement is also ‘kryptonite’, when we judge ourselves or the people around us - making them less than, and causes a lot of unhappiness for the person judging, often because they spend a lot of time judging themselves harshly - it is a really stopper in getting moving on the things you want to do as you just end up talking yourself out of everything. Fear is also a really ‘green monster’ - kryptonite, that stops us in our tracks or dictates how we spend our time, going around the long way, instead of confronting and stepping through the issue.
My Kryptonite was definitely a vow or belief I created because fear! Double whammy! As a kid I got stage fright badly in front of the whole school at the age of about 8 or 9. I swore to myself I would never be the focus of attention again. I have always secretly desired the ability to be able to stand up in front of a room or be a school play where I could sing solo, but no, I always chose the background. Hey I’m a Leo, and we like to be in the limelight, so you can see the conflict here! And then I realised in the first couple of years of my business that speaking really was a great opportunity to get the word out to share all the great things that would help many peoples lives! I agreed to a talk a few months in advance, and just a few days before the talk, my Kryptonite took effect literally! I felt ill, couldn’t function, couldn’t eat - I was literally terrified. I wanted to face my fear and get over my fear of being the center of attention, and bit off more than I could chew! Or so I thought. My friend Karen Cummings, hypnotherapist & reiki practioner, came to my rescue! I had a wonderful session with her, doing guided imagery and meditation, and hey presto! suddenly I was speaking in front of a room of 20 people, for a whole hour, and loving every minute of it! This was just one way of dealing with Kryptonite! Sometimes a fear or belief can be so deep seated that hypnotherapy is a great tool to deal with it. This was a fear that was very evident, and sometimes it takes time and discussion to discover what our Kryptonite is! I challenge you to find out! And guess what! Now I am going to be speaking the biggest group yet! I am honored to be invited to speak at the2009 ICF Conference in Orlando. So you see it is possible!
So you can tell there are lots of things that can get in our way, if we let them. That is the key, we have a choice! We can start to notice when one of these versions of Kryptonite starting cropping up, and decide what to do about it. This is often a great time to work with a coach, as they can really help get underneathe the issue, and help with changing the patten of behaviour that’s triggered by that particular version of Kryptonite! I have some wonderful processes that do just that….changing a belief to a new one, or clearing negative mindtalk and creating a peaceful existence.
Imagine that! Choice, peace, calm, no drama, being able to do whatever you desire without fear. Its all possible, you just have to want it badly enough! Take the opportunity to design life and your business the way you truly envision it with any thing or thought holding you back! It really is possible!
If you are curious, and decide that you want to make a change, perhaps live 2010 differently, then get in touch with me to set up a complimentary coaching consultation. See the Contact Page! I really look forward to connecting with you and partnering with you to eliminate the crippling Kryptonite in your life!
Living a full life,
Coach Louise
