FREE COACHING OPPORTUNITY TOMORROW

Would you like some help on how to survive and thrive in
today's constantly changing corporate environment?

Do you wonder how to become truly excellent in the work that
you do?

Would you like some coaching on becoming You, Inc.? You, Inc.
was discussed in the 4/21/99 issue of Coaching Notes.

Just call me tomorrow, Monday, April 26 between 8 and 9:30 PM
EDT at 770-399-6619.  It is as simple as that.

If you get my voice mail, I will be talking to someone else.
Please call back a few minutes later. If, by 9:30 you haven't
gotten through, leave a message, and I will call you Tuesday
to schedule an appointment for you.

If you at all attracted to calling, do it.  You have nothing to lose
but a few minutes and the cost of a long-distance phone call.
You just may gain a lot.

I look forward to talking to you.  Hey, it's an adventure for me, too.

WORDS OF WISDOM

To wait for someone else, or to expect someone else to make
my life richer, or fuller, or more satisfying, puts me in a constant
state of suspension; and I miss all those moments that pass.
They never come back to be experienced again.

                                            - Kathleen Tierney Crilly

We become what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is
NOT an act but a habit!

                                             - Aristotle

When one door of happiness closes, another opens--but often
we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
that has been opened for us.

                                             -Helen Keller

HUMOR

Dealing with anger is always a challenge.  Here is a tool to help
you. A coach is always helpful when she can be.

has been helping people achieve the lives they really,
really want for 26 years as a psychologist and more
recently as a Success Coach.  She is a member of the
International Coach Federation and the Coach Training Program

excellence and still have fun in the process.  Ann considers
herself a recovering psychologist.  When she is not "working,"
you can often find her strolling through her estate (a small
perennial garden) admiring the beauty of nature.  She is often
followed by a herd of cats.
