December 2007

Happy Holidays!

This is the time of year that can either make us crazy with stress and obligations, or giddy with the festivities of the season. It is also typically the time of year we use to reflect, review and plan for the next year. With all this in mind, this edition of the ezine is packed with tips to survive and accomplish your goals. Please note the special offer I am making to all of you who are planning your 2008 year - in the "Paper" section below.

Best regards, Anne

Process - Taming Your Email Tiger

As you know I have been an Authorized Taming the Paper Tiger Consultant (PTAC) for many years now. As part of my continuning education I make it my business to attend regular training and continuing education sessions.

Most recently, Barbara Hemphill, author of the Taming the Paper Tiger books and co-inventor of the software held a retreat for all PTACs, at which she introduced us to to Orla. This revolutionary new email managemet program works with Outlook and makes decisions about each email you receive. On January 8th I want to introduce it to you, my loyal clients, in a webinar. See "Upcoming Events" below for information how you can get in on the free seminar.

Get and Stay Organized!

People - DISCover Yourself

Our research-based self-assessments provide a framework for people to learn about themselves and others in a comfortable, non-threatening way. A profile you may want to consider at this time of year is:

Time Mastery Profile
The Time Mastery ProfileŽ helps individuals set priorities and manage time more effectively by evaluating their effectiveness in 12 critical areas.

This is after all a good time to learn how to cope with stress and learn how to take better care of yourself in 2008.

Paper - Year End Phone Coaching Offered!!!

We have noticed over time that in the week between Christmas and New Years there is not a lot of business getting done. Most offices sort of shut down as far as external business goes.

However our phones usually ring off the hook during this time, as we suspect most of you (and us) are using this time to get organized for the new year. There are year-end reports, files to sort, new files and projects to plan, new tools to implement, offices to clean and on and on and on.

I thought this year I would take a proactive approach and offer you some assitance in this project. If you would like to get organized and start 2008 with a fresh and productive outlook, you may want to consider some phone coaching.

On December 26, 27 and 28th I will be available for 45- minute slots of phone coaching to work with you on your strategy and organization for the coming year. Please contact me as soon as possible if you wish to book a time - the first 10 people who book a time get a rate you can't refuse.

If you have been thinking of hiring our services or it has just been a while and you need a tune up - this is your opportunity.
