Being where you are is tough when your personal vision is in the midst of turmoil. Can you relate? It's easy to become disoriented, discouraged, and paralyzed. But especially now, we need to be out and engaged. Both in conversations and productive work. With people and organizations facing turmoil. However, in order to be a sharpened tool, equipped with a strong grounding in who you are, you need a clear vision.

Be here:

* Examine your personal vision (who you are, where you are, where the Lord might move you next) so you can bring your whole self to what you do.

* Establish a fresh, personal vision for the coming season so you can move from the here and now into your promised future.

* Envision having peace with where you are so you can find purpose and live out a vision that inspires others.

In opening the mailbox #11, we've got some pandemic related questions to answer. It is time to rethink some of our strategies, and in doing so, we’ll not only be able to move forward now, but we will be repositioning ourselves for future growth.

In today's episode, we address these topics:
Are people still paying for coaching? If so, how can I encourage people to sign up sooner versus later so they can flourish in uncertain times?
I run into a brick wall when discussions turn to client acquisition. Business development is the least favorite part of what I do. So, what can I do to get clients?
The digital world has become much noisier since EVERYbody has jumped in with their offers. Should I jump in? How can I get noticed? And more importantly, how can I serve well?

About John Ramstead

You know that you were designed to accomplish great things…but first, you must help your team eliminate conflict and take full ownership of their roles. You want to make an impact and not only retain your best people, but also create an environment for all of you that delivers the joy of living on purpose. Here’s what I know for a fact:

Living life fully alive is not only possible, but it is also right in front of you! The secret is figuring out exactly WHO you are and HOW you lead, then designing a flight plan so that your strengths and gifts take you to the destination you have dreamed of, but didn’t know quite how to reach.

My name is John Ramstead, and I love combining my experience as a Navy combat fighter pilot, Fortune 500 manager and serial entrepreneur with my passion for helping you and your team reach your full potential…all while incorporating the very valuable lessons I learned from surviving a near-fatal horseback riding accident in 2011. Recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury--that required 25 surgeries and put me under hospital care for almost two years—radically transformed my thinking and forced me to connect with who I was meant to be. I learned how to create my best life, and I am excited to help you and your team do the same!

About Dale Roberts

With all of the unusual accomplishments Dale has achieved during his lifetime, from a successful career as a financial advisor, to professional speaking, to commercial acting, to handwriting analysis, Dale has always had the sense that there was something more he was "called" to do.

That call began to become clear when a door opened for Dale in 2003, with the opportunity to experience the "Life Plan" process, an intense two day, one-on-one session which is based on Tom Paterson's excellent book "Living the Life You Were Meant to Live." Life Planning takes a person deep into exploration of one's life purpose, and Dale was so intrigued by that process that in 2004 he became a Life Plan Facilitator. He has facilitated the Life Plan process for many clients over the past fifteen years and says, “I have never felt more called!"

But somehow Dale felt there was still one more "piece of the puzzle" missing. That piece, he discovered, was Professional Life Coaching. Dale received his training and certification as a Professional Life Coach through Professional Christian Coaching Institute, and the puzzle was complete. His 30 years of working in financial services, honing his handwriting analysis skills, practicing the Life Plan process, writing, speaking, coaching, and volunteering in ministry to men and families affected by disability, all came together to bring Dale to this point in time.
