View this email in your browser Happy October! Hello my fellow humans, and welcome to October. This past Saturday, October 1st, I went on a 21 mile hike near my home in Bend, Oregon. It was a beautiful way to welcome one of my favorite months of the year. I started in the darkness of the early morning hours and watched the sky awaken as my feet hit the trail. I adore long walks in nature, it allows my mind time to settle all of its thinking, and it leaves my body feeling limber and strong. As I walked through the forest, I found myself reflecting on my life journey. I have often leaped out into the world on faith, trusting that the net would appear (and it always has). There have been times when others underestimated me, but I held my head high and remained focused on my goals, and there have been times when I have forgotten how to believe in myself, and I have relied on my tribe to believe in me and remind me who I am. Ten years ago, the New York Times called me and asked to interview me about my successful coaching practice. I was thrilled! We did the interview, and then I waited on pins and needles for the article to hit the stands. When it did, not only was the article not celebrating me (as I had expected), it was disparaging me. At 33, I was featured in an article entitled, “Should A Life Coach Have A Life First?”. I decided to finally answer that question, and reflect on how I’ve grown as a coach over the past decade. You can read my musings here. On Sunday, as I cheered on my favorite NFL teams and crossed my fingers for a Fantasy Football win, I also worked on research for a new Emotional Intelligence Coaching Course I’ve been working on. I discovered that by developing your EQ, you can increase your income by an average of $29,000 per year (according to a recent study by Dr. Travis Bradberry). In fact, the data showed that EQ and earnings are so closely related that each point of your EQ correlates with an increase in salary of $1,300. You can read more about my research here, and if you’re interested in assessing your level of EQ, download my free EQ Self Assessment Worksheet. This week, I want to remind you that you are worthy of everything that you’ve been dreaming about. You are safe, whole, and complete. Buddha said, “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” Lucille Ball said, “You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” Take it from two greats - loving yourself is a worthwhile endeavor.
