I can imagine how many people had plans this summer. I know a few people who wanted to visit America for the first time. I personally wanted to go to a new country to experience something different. Cruises were cancelled. Many flights were cancelled. Now we have a flight ban on where Americans can travel to and rightfully so; the cases here are still increasing. Now… what do we do in this case? We have to get creative. How can we still “travel” but stay at home while doing so?

1. Watch Travel Movies!There are plenty of great travel movies that can give you a glimpse into different cultures!

Vicki Cristina Barcelona takes you to Spain.

Lost in Translation take you to Japan.

Under The Tuscan Sun takes you to Italy.

Amelie takes you to Paris.

The Grand Budapest Hotel takes you to Germany.

Are you wanting to start your coaching consulting business and your brand spanking new, so you feel a little bit like an imposter? Do you feel like you're not ready, you're not the expert, who am I to ...? If that's you, then you're in the right spot because I'm going to share how to overcome imposter syndrome.

Feeling imposter syndrome is normal for a new coach because, as a coach, you're stepping into this world of leadership where people look up to you, and there's this whole idea of you knowing the answers to everything. I think the life coaching or consulting industry is very much misunderstood.

When you announce yourself as a coach or a consultant, it's not that you're saying you know it all. When you announce yourself as an expert, it's not that you're saying you know it all. It's just that you're saying, I know a little more about…

If you would like to reach new audiences and get more visitors by creating multilingual versions of your website, I highly recommend Weglot. I’ve used multiple translation solutions for websites throughout my career as a web developer, SEO consultant, and translation project manager, and I have to say I’m really impressed with it so far.

1. Determine the scope of translationBefore starting any translation project, be crystal clear on the scope.

The 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic has made almost all of the globe re-evaluate the long-term and short-term goals of their business... and the coaching industry is no different.From massive layoffs & furloughs, to big corporations declaring bankruptcy, to absolutely every large gathering or live event cancelled until at least 2021; cross-functionally destroying layers of industry from transportation to publicity, not since the Great Recession of 2008 has there been such an upheaval in the markets of commerce and trade, felt by literally...everyone.But this time has hit much harder and has been far more expansively income-crushing across the entire globe, with many impatient prior-employed people researching “how to start a side-hustle” or get online training to boost their resume; start a new career all-together (40% of jobs may nev…

Sometimes, you won’t fully recognize the source of your pain or discontentment.It may look like one thing– My life is overwhelming— or I am sick all the time– or my back hurts, when in actuality, the source of that ailment is coming from something different. For example, an incompatible career choice may manifest itself as an inconsolable source of sadness or depression. Or, an ongoing resentment may eventually manifest into a chronic illness.What you experience as stress, pain and unhappiness can be a reflection of something quite different. It’s not until you slow down and stop deflecting, that you give yourself the opportunity to notice the connection between your experiences.How can you see more clearly what’s happening?You’ll need to dive deeper, make yourself a priority, and spend some quality time with discernment, honesty, an…

Are you wondering if you can make money online as a life coach?

The Learning Curve

Truth number one is that your first year is a big learning curve. I wouldn't recommend quitting your job right away. You want to make sure that you have the time resources and the monetary resources to invest in your business and your personal growth as a business owner. I recommend that you either go down part-time in your career right now, whether you're working a nine to five or for another company, I recommend that you stay with that company. If you can do it part-time, grow your business as a consultant or coach on the side, and then let that grow and take off before quitting. That might be a better idea. The worst thing is for you to be struggling to grow your business and learn and not get things right while making an income.

Don't Go I…

When I was first diagnosed with major depression in 2010 I knew it would be difficult for my family to believe, but I never dreamed it would be so hard for me to understand that mental illness is as real as physical illness. Let me explain.

If I had a bad cold, I might check my temperature to see if I have a fever. I would expect a runny nose, body aches and maybe a scratchy throat. I might even choose to take a sick day to allow my body to rest. And I would probably drink soups, juices, and plenty of fluids. Does that sound about right?

When depression hits, though, I can’t see it. People who know me and love me can’t see it. It’s just something that exists behind my eyes and between my ears. So, because I can’t see it – I mean, there’s no real evidence of being sick – in the past I would keep on doing all of my normal activities. I would …

Earlier this week I was talking to one of my clients about being a coach and the coaching industry. We talked about how she had a bad experience with a previous coach and was very wary of the title. I started to ask her a lot of questions about this experience. Then I thought, have you ever had a bad meal, a bad relationship, or a bad physician. Of course, she replied yes and I asked how is this any different?

While I realize there are bad people out there who are out of integrity and who lie about their credentials and capabilities (hello, have you met Donald Trump?), there are also some amazing people out there who are truly making a difference in the lives of others. And, I’d assert that coaches are probably making the most impact. Here’s why.

Coaches have the ability to be direct and cut to the chase. Most people who knew my mother k…
