What About Valentine’s Day?

The way we spend Valentine’s Day can tell us a lot about HOW we love.

• Whether tangible or intangible, was your day about both receiving and giving?
• Did you ignore the day and shove the Valentine part under the rug or did you embrace the day and use it to show care and love?
• Does this day remind you that your life is made abundant with giving and receiving love or does it turn into a day of focusing on what’s lacking?
• How was the way YOU spent Valentine’s Day reflective of how you spend all your days?
• There is learning in all life has to offer, and we can use just about any personal or professional relationship circumstance to dig a bit deeper into knowing ourselves.

Truth of the matter is that we’re not our most abundant self unless we are engaged in relationships.

There are infinite ways the topic of relationship can show up on a coaching call.  Here’s an example of how coaching on the topic of relationships can look:

On individual coaching calls with clients who have their own businesses, or have leadership roles within an organization; often the coaching moves to the conversations needed in order to share work, ideas, and power in the most impactful way for everyone involved. When people are powerful in their relationship to themselves first, from there it’s a few short steps to authentic communication, which creates change, impact and benefit.

In personal relationships it’s often similar in that it’s about communication, finding common ground on a topic and moving forward powerfully, getting ones needs and desires met, being fully self expressed in the relationship.

Always the focus of these relationship conversations has to start with the relationship the client is having with him/her self in the situation. The first conversation to be had is with oneself, then one can move out, communicating to others from there.

In February and March, at KEYS TO LIVING, we’re turning our attention to relationships.

• We are offering FREE teleclasses to inspire you to focus on the quality of your connections.
• Also available is a four-week teleclass, Successful Relationships: A Key to an Expanded and Abundant Life, to focus on the relationship aspect of your life.
• Again this year we’ll be offering our structured 10-month Vision & Clarity Focus Group where you can design and be supported, while you manifest your desires and visions for 2010.

Do take time to focus on your relationships: with yourself, your family, friends, children, co-workers, and more!

Take advantage of all life has to offer this month and prepare and support yourself to have a fabulous year.
