As a follow up to my recent teleclass with Cheryl Heppard of Healthy Business Coaching and Michigan Health Coach, I am happy to share a recording of the call at http://www.attendthisevent.com/Modern/?eventid=10608915.
You owe it to yourself to listen and make sure you achieve your resolutions. It isn’t too late!
March 8 & 15, 2010
7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. $20 for two sessions
In this interactive two-session workshop, participants will learn strategies to overcome the challenges related to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The workshop will equip parents to help children develop academic, social and family solutions. Learn coaching techniques and establish time saving routines. Leave this workshop with an action plan tailored to at least two specific goals. Having two sessions will allow participants to develop an action plan, implement it and refine it before implementing the plan for the long term.
Parents, college students and other adults who experience ADHD themselves or within their families will benefit from attending this workshop.
Cost is $20 payable to the Rochester Community House, in Rochester, Michigan. See registration information below. Contact Laura Rolands if you have any questions regarding the workshop or getting registered.

Click here for the printed RCH brochure.
Mail: Print the RCH sign-up form, fill it out and mail it with your check. Assume you are in the class, unless you hear otherwise. If you need confirmation, you must send a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Refunds: A $10.00 cancellation fee will be charged if student cancels prior to first class. During the first two weeks, a student may withdraw with a pro-rated refund plus the $10.00 cancellation fee. After holding a class spot for two weeks, no refunds or credits are possible. A $10.00 fee will be charged for a check returned for insufficient funds. Full refunds will be mailed if RCH cancels class due to low enrollment.

Children may not accompany adults to classes. It is distracting and unfair to other paying students.

Attend this meeting of the Western Wayne County CHADD chapter to learn what coaching does and how you can immediately apply the principles to your challenges.

Did you make New Years resolutions? Have you achieved them yet? Are you stuck? If you need some ideas to gain momentum, read on! If you have already achieved your resolutions, congratulations and please leave a comment to share your success with others!
Spend more time than you think you need on identifying challenges. If your general goal is to make more money, spend time identifying what gets in your way of making more money. I also recommend brainstorming with someone to help you think through the challenges that you are facing.
Focus on setting SMART Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.
It is also important to visualize your goals. I recommend that my clients post their goal somewhere that they can see it. If you artistically inclined you can make a picture – if not, find a picture on the internet or post a written version of your goal so you can see it.
When developing your action plan, keep a few simple principles in mind.
Do not wait for your plan to be perfect before you implement it. If you look for perfection you might let key opportunities for improvement pass by you. Also remember to keep with your action plan for at least 21 days to develop a new habit. It might be 28 days or even a couple months if you are making a major change. When you are taking action, remember to give yourself positive feedback, celebrate your wins and keep going after setbacks.
Whether you use a scale, financial report, checklist, journal or another tool you must measure success and track progress. If you don’t, you’ll never really know if you have achieved your goal and when it is time to move on to the next goal. It also helps to discuss your goals with a coach, spouse, business partner, friend or other supportive person in your live.
