I've recently started using a great online tool called tungle.me to allow clients to see my availability and book their own coaching appointments online.  This works particularly well for me as it seamlessly synchronises with my Google Calendar, which synchronises with the calendar on my smart phone. 

 

Just wanted to let others know about a new free webinar tool I heard about today.  I have been using http://www.freeconferencecall.com for about a year now for teleseminars and it has been very reliable.  Callers can even dial in using local numbers from all of the following countries: Australia, Spain, France, South Africa, Nigeria, U.K., Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Romania, Czech Republic, Austria and the U.S.

Today they sent an email saying they have launched a free webinar software for up to 96 participants: http://www.freescreensharing.com

I haven't tested it yet, but thought that I would put it out there for others to have a play and comment below to let other coaches know what it's like.

Hopefully it is as reliable as freeconferencecall.com.

A beautiful friend of mine sent me a link to this video this morning.  She should have warned me to get out a box of tissues before I started watching...  If you think that the quality of your life is determined by your situation - THINK AGAIN!  A powerful lesson from a man who leads the way.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my first child and know that I'm going to learn so much from my children.  This video made me smile - a child reminds us the importance of starting our days with gratitude and positive affirmation!  Go Jessica!

Recently, there seems to be a trend in the challenges people are coming to me with in their personal lives. Some examples of the challenges being faced recently include addiction (to computer games), relationship issues and feeling like life has no meaning. 

Sure, on the surface, they might look like very different situations, but digging a little deeper, the common threads are evident.  Much can be resolved by getting clarity on:

One of the main ways we have been growing traffic for our website is through Twitter. I'm often asked about our Twitter strategy for CoachNetwork.
