I passionate to give a message of hope (despite our current challenging times)

Practical tools and tips to measure how your life is performing across different areas. (Naturally Good Health)

I needed to write about some of the benefits my clients gained following their coaching experience.

It will assist the reader to develop more confidence in personal life or business life whereby new ideas can be introduced into business.

Purpose of “Charting Your Life’s …

In this book you will find practical easy steps towards a happier outlook in life.

We learn to believe that nothing is impossible.

What Else Will it do for The Reader?

A goal is much easier to reach with the direction of a roadmap, thus my title. “Chart……”

Choice – Choose Happiness Daily!!

Origin of Title

Remember it’s not what happens to you that matters. It’s how you handle what happens that matters.

When are you going to write It? How many times have you stated “ I could write a book ….…?”

What is stopping you from getting started??

What first step are you going to take and when? What is the Theme going to be?

Now to Writing YOUR BOOK!!

Decide firstly on your theme and title – Write them down.

Decide on finish date and write it down.

Picture the cover and paste it onto a wall or bathroom mirror this will keep you focused on that final masterpiece……………….

Steps towards Penning that Book!

Inspiration will come in a burst of energy.

Let it flow and write as the ideas come tumbling out of your head.

Do not edit as you go along (this will interrupt your train of thought).

Just keep on going and do not give up…………………………

What Next??

Identify your most productive time/hour of day to write.

Identify your happiest/most productive location in your home to sit and write.

Inspiration will come when the environment is conducive to writing.

Things to Remember

Following may appear irrelevant but it will be the difference between the achievement of your “masterpiece” or not!!

Research the resources required and outline a strategy.

Recognise the people who can help you achieve this goal.

Do not hesitate to ASK for help/Mentoring.

SMART GoalsSpecify the day and outline the time.

Measurable -Do not pledge you will write daily

Achievable - Instead promise yourself to knuckle down to one hour once a week to begin with.

It is better to decide to write when you are in the mood! once a week rather than be ridden with guilt and ultimately give up.

TimelyWhen will it be complete??

Reality

Read it out loud as you go along.

What do you hear? Does your desired message ring loud and clear?

Does it flow?Is it interesting?

The Process

COMMITFOCUSBELIEVE and ACHIEVE

Donegal Mantra!! 2013 All Ireland!!

Goals Do Work. “They focus our intentions and

focus our energy.

We often underestimate our own potential

So Let’s All try and park the past

Live in the now working towards the future.

I resolved January 2012 to have my book in the shops by December 2012.

The cover image portrays one small step at a time conquers the mightiest mountain.

The image portrays the next hold, the next step and reaching the summit.

A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline

Set Your Specific Goal. Define and Refine that

Goal. Set it out for 28 days. See Your Goal every

day. Share it every day. Chip away, every day.

Everybody has the capability within them to make changes.

Different for everyone, some people a small change, whereas others a larger goal.

There’s no failure in failure, one of the greatest learning experiences.

Employers are now beginning to realise their greatest customers are their employees.

A happy workforce will be a productive workforce

Employers are slowly realizing that in order to retain staff, they must determine the level of employee satisfaction within their organisation.  

Companies are realizing the financial incentive involved in using Employee Empowerment as a valuable tool to keep staff turnover levels low.

Other valuable advantages - Retaining talent within the company.

Increased levels of customer retention.

Better levels of customer service.

All positively affect productivity levels

Reduction in levels of absenteeism, making employees less likely to call in sick at the drop of a hat.  

We mutually design action steps and I hold my client accountable from one session to the next.

I begin by acknowledging all the positives and achievements in my client’s lives. (centre of excellence)
