Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

I really do believe we attract what we focus on, and what we believe — in fear or in love. I believe — and perhaps that belief is why I attract the experience — that this applies to the people and relationships we attract as well, clients included.

When we shift our mindsets to focus on what we love or what brings us joy, and we begin to recognize that we inherently believe that, and not the thing we feared. The momentum of that takes a little time to show up, so it may seem as if we’re still attracting the previous focus, when in fact the shift simply hasn't yet shown up in our physical reality yet. Exciting, isn't it? That means we just need to stay focused on what we want, rather than fear, to see more of what we want. In my experience, it is quite literal, and it happens more readily now, than when I first started focusing more mindfully. Here’s one look at a small mindset shift that helped.

Read on to see where well-being and the feminine come in.

Serve better clients, better. Mindful entrepreneurship

Mindful Entrepreneurship.  Serve better clients, better.  Wait.  What?  Yip.  I firmly believe we're all of equal value, here, but that we simply are not all compatible.  When I say "better clients", I'm therefore referring to clients who aren't trying to change you - personality, pricing or practice - and vice versa.  Who values you as you are?

Here's to life and business as You, just as you are

A big shift for me has been to stop directing clients along the mainstream path, or mine, and start inviting them to take ownership of their own. It's now about inviting people into a space where they can BE. It is, actually, more about holding space for them as they create the space they need to have in order to freely be. What do you think? Do you do the same for clients?

Beyond Buzzwords: Mindfulness and Authenticity, Executives to Entrepreneurs

I studied organizational design during my MBA, as part of my push to help organizations be an easier space to thrive in - to create profit and inspire people - but I also did entrepreneurial strategy, as I love the autonomy and, to eventually escape corporate spaces. As an introspective person by nature, after a few health scares, I made slowing down my goal in 2013. It's truly awakening. Like I said, though, life teaches you when you slow down to a mindful pace...
