On a personal note…
Last fall I decided to take a leap, a big one. It was scary because it required a big commitment of time, money and effort. And, because it signaled a change in the way I’ll do business.
I was feeling a little tug at my heart to do something that felt more genuinely me, and in alignment with what I love most—horses. I longed to be outside, spending time with three of my best friends, my Quarter horses, Sunny, Rusty and Blaze.
So, I finally did it. I applied and was accepted for an equine training program called Koelle Simpson’s Equus Coach Training. I began the program in January, and am spending a fabulous year learning how to provide life-changing coaching to my clients by partnering with my horses as co-facilitators.
It’s amazing how horses are tuned in with humans and can provide the kind of feedback that helps us overcome some of our biggest fears and challenges, all without even getting on a horse. Partnering with horses during coaching sessions helps us when we’re struggling to feel more congruent, authentic and connected to our bodies, along with knowing what to do with all of the messages our bodies send us.
I’m now four months into the training, and I’m still loving it! A good sign when you take a leap like this, right? I’m learning so many new and exciting ways to help my clients reach bigger goals with less sacrifice, and I can hardly wait to share them!
What does this mean for you?
I still love helping my clients through virtual assistance and I plan on continuing this important work. And later this year, I’ll have a whole new set of coaching tools available to complement the VA services I offer (squealing with excitement at the thought of this!)
With this new arsenal of life and business coaching skills, I’ll help you get ahead in your business like you never thought possible—new tools, techniques and strategies to get past any nonproductive mindsets that are holding you back from reaching that next level of success.
And, I’ll be offering on-site, live equine-based business coaching starting in my own barn.
I’m working out what my new offerings will look like, so I’ll share those details with you as soon as I have them. Until then, I’ll continue to share great business tips, tools and inspiration and I’ll keep you updated on my equine coaching journey until I’m ready to make my new services available.
Horse-based coaching is new to many people so if you’ve got questions about it, hit reply or leave a note in the comments and let me know what they are. It’d be so helpful to hear your thoughts and questions as I move closer to offering this kind of coaching!

This month’s Cool Tool…
Boomerang for Gmail
Do you use Gmail as your email client? If you do, then you need to know about Boomerang! It’s a wonderful tool, made for Gmail users that helps you manage your emails and de-clutter that inbox! If your inbox is like most, it gets filled up fast, and trying to manage the reminders and follow-ups that go along with most of your emails can sometimes be overwhelming.
Boomerang allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a later time, set reminders for those important follow-ups, and so much more. And once you set up an email to boomerang, it leaves your inbox until the specified date, and then it pops back in, ready for you to deal with it. My inbox is so much more manageable now, and I’m loving it! Check it out, and let me know what you think! http://www.boomeranggmail.com/
