Evolution, a Blog Carnival & More Agile Living Tips for You

This week I released the Bottom-line on Adam Jackson’s paradigm-shifting book, “The Flipside,” making this the Bottom-line Bookclub’s third month anniversary. Over the past few months I’ve loved getting to know the club members, and I’m enjoying creating the new Bottom-lines even more now, holding these people in mind. I’ve been chuffed to also read some rave reviews of the club, like this one.

As with all agile businesses, I’m continuously tweaking, improving and evolving it in response to feedback, and as I hatch new ideas for creating more of what I love and know my tribe will love. I have some ideas already in the pipeline and some decisions to make, and I want to make sure that it’s what you want, so would you help me by completing the short survey below and letting me know what you think?

How to Find the Hidden Opportunities in Crises

I had someone ask me a really interesting question the other day. Well, it was interesting to me, because it was a straightforward, simple question, but I was really surprised by how I struggled with the question, and really fascinated with the things that I learned about myself through continuing to contemplate the question. You see, questions are powerful paradigm-shifters. They can bring things from the background of our awareness to the foreground of our awareness and experience in a matter of seconds, and this can change everything. It can totally flip our experience of a relationship or situation and the options for responses that we see available to us.

Mine Your Resources Stretching It's Legs

For those of you not yet on my newsletter list, I wanted to share some of the new developments you can expect at Mine Your Resources (you can sign up here if you’d like to get onto my monthly newsletter list). So here goes:

* I’m doing a lot of writing these days: my blog, guest posts, Bottom-line Bookclub programs… and I have a few ideas for DIY coaching programs and live workshops that I’ve wanted to start writing, but haven’t had the time to start yet. So I’ve decided to trim down my blog posts back to once a week on Mine Your Resources. These posts will be on a Tuesday. I will however be posting links for the guest posts I write for other blogs, so you can easily find them. You’ll still get lots of great tips and tools – some will be on my blog and I’ll help you find the others I write for other blogs.
* I’m busy working on a full website for the Bottom-line Bookclub, with some additional resources, which I hope to launch in the next few weeks. I’ll be making the Bottom-line Bookclub monthly learning programs available individually (at a higher price point than the club membership) for people who wish to buy just 1 particular topic that’s relevant to something they’re wanting help with right now.

Top Tips For Dealing With Change When It's Thrust Upon You

There’s no doubt about it – we’re all dealing with more change than previous generations ever did before us. And a lot of those difficult changes are being forced on us, as a result of broader changes across the world. Nobody really wanted the economic recession and the changes it’s brought in our workplaces and businesses, and a lot of us haven’t wanted the constant restructuring, re-staffing and system changes going on all the time in our workplaces either. But as the world becomes more interconnected, as technology continue to advance, and as we all try to keep up and stay competitive in a global economy, we’re all having to deal with more change than ever before.

Call with Jamie Smart: How to Change Easily & Effortlessly

Jamie Smart has been one of my biggest teachers when it comes to NLP. I’ve bought most of his recordings of his trainings to learn from over the years, and it was a dream come true for me to attend a live training with him earlier this year. And what was EVEN COOLER than that was having him on a live call and sharing him with all of my peeps yesterday!

Jamie has the most amazing talent of being able to take complex technical NLP concepts and tools and make them simple, and then apply them in a way that uncovers just how rich they are, and he does it with authenticity, fun and a genuine love for other people.
