March Conversations

March 12, 2012

A note to start the Conversation…



March… Spring Time! THANK GOODNESS! I don’t know about you…but I had a heavy winter. I definitely was doing some hibernating and healing.…often that is what winter is for! And now the springtime is coming! I find it renewing and invigorating! What does spring time do in your spirit?

This note brings you some information about the ways I want to help you renew!….possibilities include a retreat…visual coaching sessions…. and listening to your whisper—your Inner Wise Self.

So much presses on us from the outside– from media…from our families, from society, from ingrained beliefs formed from the moment we were born. If you have found your self fatigued and weary from all that is going on…I’d like to encourage you to tap in to a different voice in your head. Often we hear the inner critic bitching and harassing and judging us…. For a moment….turn down the volume on that voice…and take a minute to breathe in your heart. A deep breath…hand on your heart…… and listen….to your Inner Wise Self…your Inner Whisper (as my co-coach Kayla calls it)…. This voice is ALWAYS there ready to speak…the thing is…it isn’t bossy or interrupting…it comes from Pure LOVE, so you have to tune in and ask it to speak.

Engage your Inner Wise Self…listen to your Inner Whisper….what soothing, soul-full love and assurance do they have for you?

Listing to this voice takes practice. After all, we’ve been listening to the other voices by default our whole lives. Our mental muscle memory is so accustomed to listening to the “default” station….. so choose to tune in to a different voice…. and then listen.

Once I learned how to tune in…my life seemed to be easier..and I have been able to find happiness, abundance and joy….by listening to and trusting this Inner Whisper as my Guide!

As a coach, I love introducing clients to this version of themselves…. I wish for you the same easiness of life….joy of being….and daily happiness, that is yours for the receiving!

The Magic of a Retreat

The magic of a retreat can’t be explained… Something happens when we choose to slow down, to listen to our inner whispers, to trust the serendipity of the universe gathering very specific people together. As professionals we train, we learn, we conference, all –from the outside in. When is the last time you really disconnected from the to-do list, from the client roster, from all the personal and professional noise….and listened to your inner wise self…deeply? This is the value of a retreat. This is the ultimate gift to yourself, to your business.

I know, you are thinking….”Yeah right. Like I can take this time off, invest this money….at a luxury renewal retreat. My spouse will think yeah right too.” And this is exactly what we do as busy professional humans…..often what we need the most, is a quiet date with ourselves… an opportunity to truly allow us to visit with our wise inner self…to listen to our inner whispers. What could committing to this sacred time do for you?

Certified Visual Coach
I’m proud to announce that as of December 2011, I am now a Certified Visual Coach. I’ve trained the last few years under the talented visual and spiritual coach, Christina Merkley. Working visually helps clients draw MORE out of their coaching sessions. It also leaves my clients with visual touchstones to go back to after the sessions. Find out more about the Visual Coaching options available to you here.

Visual Facilitation:

I have made a slight shift in the efforts of my practice. Clearly, I am growing and nurturing my Soul-Full Living Coaching practice, workshops, and retreats. I am still providing Graphic Facilitation services and some Graphic Recording services. I’ve chosen to spend my time in these areas only on content that ZINGS with me! I choose for my heart to be in all of the visual work I do.

Last month I had the beautiful opportunity to facilitate a 2 day retreat with the National Epilepsy Foundation Youth Leadership Council in Fort Worth. These young leaders were some of the most wise, dedicated and beautiful leaders I’ve ever met. Here is a visual summation of a session on their ideas on what makes a great leader:

Graphic Facilitation: As a Graphic Facilitator I am your Visual Guide. I pair my coaching and facilitation expertise with graphic recording skills in a creative and interactive process. Participants will be engaged. Individual ideas are captured. Group decisions are recorded. The powerful dynamics of Graphic Facilitation cannot be understated.

As a facilitator I am front and center… drawing your staff or trainees into the process while in essence, making a mural of your progress, objectives, and essential action points.

My word of the year this year chose me, I didn’t My word of the year this year chose me, I didn’t choose it.

The word?

JOY.

It feels so fitting this week, as I played with what I was going to share with you on the podcast, the word “joyful” just kept coming up with “ambition” and I loved the way “joyful ambition” sounded.

It made me think about what’s required to have joyful ambition, what ambition really is, and how we can let it be fully part of us.

I’m sharing my reflections around these questions and YOUR amazing responses to my question of “what is ambition” (SO COOL to hear from you all, thank you for sharing your thoughts!) on the show today.

It’s my hope that this episode will help respark the ambition inside you if needed and will encourage you to allow yourself to be the ambitious person that you are.

Listen at the link in my bio, or wherever you usually enjoy the show, and if you want to add your definition of ambition to my collection, share with me below!
Hey.... be sure and #rest. Profound engagement req Hey.... be sure and #rest. Profound engagement requires profound DISengagement and downtime. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been requiring much more rest these last few weeks.

My tired lil brain likes to try and use that weariness to “should” on me... tell me I’m falling behind. Does your brain start to spin when you are tired? Yep. That’s not a sign to push through.... that’s a sign to slow down. 

You are NOT behind, you are not gonna miss out on anything. It’s important To sustain your body and soul.

This morning it was nice to put the phone and computer away for a while and play 18 holes of nature frisbee golf.... just to be outside. This afternoon is naps and chill time. Work can wait till Monday .... especially if your soul needs a bit of rest.

If you’re on fire and it feels good, go fast. You do YOU. No comparison or competition.

Xoxox,
Oh and do drink some water! Hydration helps.

Don't forget... We "breathe y'all" so we can get Don't forget...

We "breathe y'all" so we can get back to center, to get back to ambition, to get back to BEing.

So breathe y'all, we're here and we're doing our very best.

Authentic & Ambitious,

I remember the first time I shared something from I remember the first time I shared something from behind the curtain of my life on a public stage. 

2008. It was in Austin, at the convention center Hilton. I was on stage, on a panel of successful Productivity coaches. 

I shared something about my mental health.... struggling for a lifetime with depression and anxiety....AND managing to run a successful coaching practice. 

After that session - I had a line 50 yards long of other coaches from around the country lined up to meet me.  All they wanted to say was, “thank you.... me too... you give me hope.”

A few days later I was talking with my mentor and the CEO of our coaching org.  I mentioned the impact my unusual (at the time authenticity was not cool) share... and she looked at me with steel, disapproving eyes, “I would have NEVER...” she barked at me. 

Well I did. And my heart 𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑤, other people needed to know that there were humans behind the leadership curtain.  Real live people, with messy, real lives, figuring out a way to thrive and prosper, not financially and emotionally. 

It only took two more years of wrist slapping and disapproval (I made them too much money for them to kick me out) at that company to get the guts to go out on my own. 

Unemcumbered, free to be me. 

It hasn’t always been pretty, or professional, and I’m SURE it has cost me business. But it has never cost me my soul. It has never cost me the gift of being fully me. 

And even that took practice and exploration. 

Be with people, clients, jobs, family, and friends, that you can be your full self with. 

Be outrageously authentic and your ambitions will be fulfilled. 

💛,
Your favorite life and business coach. 
Allison.
Doors closing! Y'all know how much I love my Soul Doors closing!

Y'all know how much I love my Soul-Full Success program.

It's truly a place where my Soulies and I grow, learn and SUPPORT each other.

It's where we can ask questions like: What do you want to create? What do you want to be known for? Who are you becoming in 2021? Where specifically do you want to stretch and grow?

I'm so damn proud of this community and all the work, both for Life and Biz, that Soulies put in.

And in order to create the sacred space that is Soul-Full Success, I can't continuously let people join.

So I'll be closing the doors to join us tonight, so I can focus on supporting those who are in the community.

I don't say this to scare or taunt you, I say this to be honest and transparent and hopefully motivate you if this is something you have been thinking about.

I want the RIGHT people in Soul-Full Success. Those that are ready to do the inner and outer work. Those that are looking for more authenticity and ambition in their life. Those that are ready to show up for themselves, their business, and their gifts.

If this is you, apply to join us at the link in my bio. If this isn't you, thanks for following along anyways, happy to share this space with you!
Here’s some truth: I’ve been told: * Your re Here’s some truth:

I’ve been told:

* Your relationship with your husband is awful. I can’t have you as a coach.  Oh. And why would anyone pay 188/month for your coaching. That’s insane. 

* I think you are codependent and need me to suffer. It’s all about you. 

* This podcast is awful. Why is all that noise in the background? Is she writing. I can hear markers squeak, squeak, squeak.  Horrible. 

* You are too authentic. 

* It’s your fault my marriage is a mess. 

* I wouldn’t wish friendship with you on my worst enemy.

* You are a liberal Satanist snowflake

* You are an asshole. 
♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎♒︎

.... to these people.... all these things are true and I’m ok with it. 

Stop stopping because of those who won’t align with you.  Keep sharing your heart and showing your work for the ones that need what you are sharing. 

Ps:
I AM a liberal snowflake. 
I believe in Aliens 👽 and Ghosts 👻 and NDE.
I watch way too much tv and I love it. 
I “hear” things audibly many people don’t. 
I see colors on people when I look. 
I believe in science and in the climate crisis. 
Human behavior fascinates me. 
I have a hot temper. Way less worse than it used to be. 
I believe in alternative and western medicine. 
I voted for Hillary. 
I am a better coach than I am friend. 
I am an asshole. Totally. 
I really hate Amazon but clearly I value convenience and comfort more than justice. 
My coaching is 333$/month or 18k+ a year. 
And....
I put pineapple on my pizza. 

I love me. 
💛
