Much of the Life Coaching I do involves or includes Career Coaching. Many times my clients want to change careers, advance within their existing company or are first timers to the world of work. As I am a big advocate of networking, connecting with other people, I recommend to my clients that they sign up to LinkedIn and get connected.
The LinkedIn Profile
If you could walk into a huge conference centre and pass out a business card to unlimited number of contacts…..how great would that be?
Well, your LinkedIn profile can be your showcase for the world and in a global economy you need world exposure. By developing a LinkedIn profile you expose yourself to 90 million people each and every day!
The following are among the Life Coaching Activities I give my clients on building their LinkedIn Profile. Please use and share with friends.
12 Steps in Developing Your LinkedIn Profile
1. Remember, LinkedIn is a professional site, proceed with professional care.
2. Upload a professional photo or at least one of good quality.
3. Start making connections. Begin by connecting to at least 50 people you know, friends, family, present /past co workers.
4. Join Groups. Search groups related to your profession. Request to join.
5. Answer Questions/Ask Questions. Answering and Asking Questions establishes you as an expert if your field.
6. Website. Include your website address.
7. Include your Twitter address.
8. Upload resent presentations.
9. List professional books you have read, are reading or plan to read.
10. Add your linked address to your email signature.
11. Include your LinkedIn address on your business card.
12. Update your Professional profile on a regular basis.
If you have any questions on a more detailed Profile development , please email me or check out LinkedIn’s Resource section.

Olympic Stress Does Life Sometimes Feel Like the Olympics?
New Life Coaching Business CoachPhyllis.com Inc.
Most elite athletes have a professional coach to help them with continuous skill development, no matter how great they are, coaching is continuous. For the most of us however, in this fast paced world, it is the busy day to day living that challenges us most, not the golf course or the tennis court.
Life Coaching and life coaches are becoming a popular option for busy people who desire more from life and/or for those wishing to or having to make changes in an area of life or work. Life coaching is a goal setting, action oriented process directed toward achieving success for individuals or small business.
CoachPhyllis.com Inc. a relatively new company in Newfoundland and Labrador, owned by Phyllis Reardon, offers tele life coaching sessions to clients throughout North America. According to Coach Phyllis,
“Most people know what they want, but many times don’t know how to achieve it, this is where a life coach can help.”
Success workshops especially designed for women and parents are another product developed and offered by CoachPhyllis.com Inc.
“Parents are key to the success of their children, and planning is key to that success.” Coach Phyllis.
Along with developing a client base over the past 2 years, Phyllis has also published life coaching articles in two books in the USA, How To Go To College On a Shoestring and, How to Change Your Career and Do The Work You Really Love, Atlantic Publishing Inc.

New Year's Check In. Life Coaching Activities to Getting Things Done
Phyllis Reardon M.Ed
Life Coach
Three weeks in, how are you doing with your New Year’s resolution? Do you have your 2010 plan in place?
Much of our work and life stress comes from procrastinating. Thoughts like ‘why do today what you can put of until tomorrow,’ abound in our life and work place. I am a recovering procrastinator and know only too well the torment that comes with that ‘’P’ word.
A book that I often recommend to my clients, is David Allen’s book, ‘Getting Things Done.’ Allen’s approach to what he calls the art of stress free productivity works equally as well in everyday life as it does in the workplace.
One very important feature of Allen’s process is Weekly reviews, checking in on a weekly basis to ensure you are on track with your goals and action steps.
More often than not we look for Magic Bullet, let’s get it straight right now, there is no magic bullet. In order to defeat that persistent nemeses, the Procrastinator, we need to plan on getting things done.
So if after three weeks you are feeling a little disheartened over your lack of progress with the 2010 goals you set, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and look at the week ahead. Take it one week at a time. Remember there are 168 hours in a week.
1. Write out your weekly list.
2. Break the list into the smallest action steps possible.
3. Define the actions in terms of hours.
4. As you get things done, check them off.
5. Keep a written or e-copy of your weekly goals for quick review and focus.
6. Focusing on the goals is key to success so keep the list in the forefront of your thoughts.
7.Focus by making the Weekly list highly visible. Place in front of you so you view it many times a day.
8. Focus brings attention.
9. Attention brings action.
10. Action helps in getting things done!
If the Procrastinator is your nemeses and you would like help with getting things done, please email me.

Focus On Your Wins - Success Creates Success
Good Tuesday morning. My first thought this morning when I looked at my calendar was,two months from today we will be eating leftover turkey. Time flies.
Two months left in the year 2009. Did you accomplish all you set out to do back on January 1st 2009? Did you accomplish part of what was in your Life Plan for 2009?
Take a few minutes today to reflect, if you would, on what you did accomplish, your Wins. We can so easily beat ourselves up for not completing tasks. For a short time today make a wriitten note of what you did accomplish at work and in life over the past 10 months.
1.Focus on your wins.
2.Wins come in all sizes.
3.Write them down.
4.These are your successes.
5.Reward yourself for accomplishing so much.
Have a great day,
Coach Phyllis

NLACP - Career Practitioner Conference
Good Monday morning! I attended the very first Newfoundland and Labrador Career Practitioner Conference this weekend. As I drove home over a very wet and windy highway I reflected on the strides that have been made in the career development area in our province, amazing. But I feel even more amazing was the intensity and the desire I saw in the eyes of every career practitioner for this information,knowledge and confirmation.
As my highway drive continued,I recalled all the words that were repeated by presenters. This was good because we were getting similar messages. I heard words like, planning, personal, hope, self esteem, career continuum, opportunity, success, positive, vocation/calling and many more.
So much fantastic information. So many words. Now what? Next step?
How do use all of this? What one(two/three) piece of information did you get from the weekend?
Make a note of what stayed in your head. Write it down.
What is it about this piece of information that resonated with you?
How will it fit in to your everyday work?
How can it help you work with your clients? Write it down.Use it.
Review in a week. Use it. Review.
