Live Victoriously!

You Were Created to beVictorious!

  How Are You Living Victoriously?

To live victoriously you have to have victory over something. Hmmm.

“Everyone  wants to be an overcomer but no one wants to overcome anything!” -Dave Parker

It’s so true. We don’t want to fight!! If it doesn’t come easy we think the door has been closed, but maybe we’re supposed to persevere? How would your life be different if you persevered through the difficult things until the door was slammed shut? What if you didn’t let your passion be snuffed out? What if you put in 100% effort?

What if, when things don’t work out like you hope, instead of giving up, you consciously choose to step back, reassess and find a new approach? Again and again until you find victory? (or the door is slammed shut 🙁 )

Think about it, what is it you really want – PRESENTLY.

Today is a new day and YOU CAN BE VICTORIOUS!

Simply identify what you want and start the process. Clearly you must do the work, but God delights in giving you the desires of your heart. He put them there. Show Him how badly you want it and demonstrate it daily by doing the work!

“I really enjoyed listening to you as you asked questions to the young mother. You did a great job of making her answer her own questions and take ownership for them. I learned a lot from “watching you in action” that I can apply as I help others. Also, I was able to take my own question and think of it differently and analyze what change I need to make and think through the steps that must happen to reach my own goal. You have a gift with a compassionate yet direct approach. I was impressed with your style.” -TN

I Can’t Get a Word In Edgewise!

I got an email today from a gal and thought our exchange might be helpful for you too. She said, “Hey friend, appreciate some advice. What do you do when you meet with someone who talks a lot? Like so much that you can’t ever get a word in?”
My Reply: That’s a tough one because every situation is different. My advice, as usual, is ‘ask questions’, however, very often we need to start by asking ourselves a few questions. You may have other, more helpful questions for yourself, but here are some ideas….
What do I want out of the relationship?  (Many people are afraid to start here because they think it’s a selfish question. I don’t believe the question is selfish. However, the answer certainly could be…..  By asking the question, our motive is revealed. Sometimes we find our motives pure other times not, therefore I find it a very helpful place to start.)
What makes this relationship important?
What am I willing to risk to see if I can help create an environment for healthier communication?
How could I communicate my desires for our relationship and engage her/him in helping solve the issue? (Some people are super sensitive to their own flaws yet have no desire to change, therefore it is a good idea to ask the previous question first.)
Hope this helps. Keep me posted.
blessings on your day,

What Do I Do? I Empower People by. . .

Empowering You
What Do I Do? I Empower People.

I began the job of empowering people when I had little ones. I wasn’t trained and didn’t have any more qualification than any other young mother, but empowering my children was a huge part of my purpose in mothering. PTA, booster club, becoming their class mom or even being an event chaperone, were not things I considered of great value in helping me with my main purpose in mothering. They can all be good things and I did a few of them, but I wasn’t out to win the mom of the year award. I was more concerned with making sure that my children felt loved because someone knew them, flaws and all, and loved them anyway. I also wanted them to do things in life that they had some natural inclination toward and brought them joy. I talked with them about how those natural inclinations were gifts from God, but like any gift,  had to be used in order to be valuable. Though I’d not been trained (and sometime I wonder how in the world they got it)  I was able to convey to them, that their potential could only be realized with discipline and hard work.

As my kids got older I realized that I found great joy in empowering them and I had a natural inclination for it. I wanted to be responsible with this gift I had, so I nurtured and developed it by going to school to become a coach and immediately had opportunities to coach people. It wasn’t hard. I mean really – who doesn’t want someone to empower them!

To empower literally means to give authority or power. It is to “make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life. . . ” 

Realizing the difference between encouragement and empowerment is important. Encouragement is a piece of empowering and both can produce confidence. But there is more to empowering. It is helping people realize that they have authority and power over their life.

Providing opportunities is yet another piece of empowering. By providing an opportunity, we can give someone power that they would not otherwise have.  i.e.. when we see that our child is naturally gifted as an athlete or musician, we can give them the power to pursue their natural inclination by purchasing the equipment, putting them on a team or getting them lessons.

Empowering people is a great joy for me!

Recently I have had the experience of working with 3 people that have the ability to empower others. I have seen their natural giftedness, noted their discipline and hard work and been inspired by their passion and charismatic personalities. By hosting the Coaching For Wholly Living Winter Summit I intend to empower Kim Kompel, Christopher Wakely and Jesse Rice by giving them a platform to empower you. If you have desires for 2015 that include your health, parenting or landing a new job, we have a great opportunity for you. Click the links to find out more.

Hopes For the New Year

HopesAs this first day of 2015 winds down and the sun sets, I feel a sense of excitement. Not anxious or worried, it’s a peaceful sort of excitement. Of course, I don’t know exactly what 2015 will bring. I expect it will have it’s fair share of heart ache and struggle because I still live in this human flesh, but I have fresh hope for my personal life. Hope that hard work, planning and perseverance will pay off and many people will be blessed. Hope that God will use me in ways I’ve not been used before. Hope that I will be a better friend, wife, mother, daughter etc. because I am growing and learning to understand and care for people better. Hope that I will be a better coach and leader.  And mostly hope that I will influence people to grow and bear good fruit in their lives.

My hopes for the year are not pie in the sky wishes – I know what kinds of actions it will take and what I’m intending to do to make my hopes a reality.  YES, to make them a reality I must have concrete Action Steps. Yet I also know, that my fate is not all within my control. Because of that, I look at goals and resolutions a little differently than most coaches. I know I must have solid ideas of what I want, so I do the work to clarify when I’m foggy about my desires. I pray. And I follow through with Action Steps. – most of the time. When I’m faithful with these things I find that the outcome is often much better than I could have asked for or imagined and I thank God my fate is not all within my control! So, based on experience, I’m excited about the new year.

What are your hopes for 2015?
