Create Your 2016 BEST List

• sarahucoach
• December 29, 2016

2016 has been a year of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, change and uncertainty.

I’ve seen and heard a lot of negativity on social media and the news, especially this week.

One way I’ve shifted my energy is listening to some of my favorite musicians from the 80’s & 90’s.  Prince, George Michael, Duran Duran (Simon LeBon is still with us).

I felt transported back to time which was Happy, Fun and Care Free.

I started thinking about all the happy & fun times I’ve had this past year including going to the Duran Duran concert, watching the Chicago Cubs win their 1st World Series in 108 years, traveling to Encinitas, California for my mediation retreat, going to the Iowa State Fair with my family, winning the dirndl competition at Oktoberfest, exploring the city of Prague and completing my holiday Extreme Self Care Challenge.

Once I got into my happy place I also started reflecting on everything that I’ve accomplished in 2016 including receiving my Professional Coaching Certification along with coaching over 60 clients on topics including creating the next chapter of their career, leaving toxic environments to do work they actually enjoy, growing an existing business, starting a new business from just an idea to making it a reality, building confidence to ask for a raise and promotion and so much more.

Today I invite you to join me on Creating Your Best of 2016. Take a few moments, listen to your favorite music and reflect back on 2016.

What are YOUR BEST experiences of 2016?

What stands out for you?

How did you GROW?

How Do You Like to Be Appreciated at Work?

• sarahucoach
• December 11, 2016

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!

One of my favorite holiday movies is Christmas Vacation.  There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie from the Griswold family driving out to the country to chop down their Christmas tree. to Clark checking all the outside Christmas lights on his house, to the arrival of Cousin Eddie and family in their RV.

My favorite scene is when Clark W. Griswold finally receives his long awaited Christmas bonus.  He is so excited when the messenger comes to his door on Christmas Eve with an envelope.  Clark anticipates it is his bonus check as he had received in the past but is shocked to find out instead it is a 1 Year Membership to the Jelly of the Month Club.

Clark worked so hard all year.  He anticipated a cash bonus.  He even put a down payment on installing a pool at his home.

This is definitely a message about Workplace Appreciation gone WRONG.

December is a wonderful month to Show Appreciation and Be Appreciated, but everyone does not give or receive Appreciation in the same way.

I’m incorporating the lessons from The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace by Gary Chapman and Paul White in today’s newsletter.

Today I’d like you to think about How You Like to Be Appreciated at Work

On a scale of 1 – 10, how appreciated do you feel by your immediate supervisor?

On a scale of 1-10, how appreciated do you feel by each of your coworkers?

When you feel discouraged at work, what actions by others encourage you?

When you want to communicate appreciation to your colleagues, how do you typically do so?

How well do you believe you and your coworkers know how to express appreciation to one another?

Do you appreciate Words of Affirmation?

Do you strive for Quality Time?

Do you appreciate Acts of Service?

Do you enjoy receiving Tangible Gifts?

Knowing your Appreciation Language as well as your coworkers Appreciation Language will lead to so many positive benefits including:

• Reduction in employee turnover
• Improved attendance and productivity
• Greater customer satisfaction
• More positive relationships between supervisors, staff and peers
• An overall increased positive outlook on corporate culture and work environment

If you are interested in learning more about Motivating by Appreciation, simply email at sarahucoach@gmail.com.

What I want for YOU is to know your Appreciation Language incorporate it into your Workplace.

2016 Extreme Self Care Challenge

• sarahucoach
• November 9, 2016

Now more than ever it’s important to give yourself permission to practice Extreme Self Care which is why I created the 2016 Extreme Self Care Challenge.  What I want for you is to create your own personal Extreme Goal which will keep you healthy, happy and energized during the holiday season.

 What is the best possible way you can take care of yourself for the next 7 weeks?

The holidays can be the happiest time of year, but they can also be the most challenging time of year with year-end deadlines, holiday shopping, traveling, parties, too much food & drinks, and bah humbug people.

By having an Extreme Self Care Goal along with a Daily, Weekly and Monthly Action Plan YOU can take the best possible care of yourself this holiday season!

Step 1:  Create Your Extreme Self Care Goal 

What do YOU really want to achieve by December 31st?

How do YOU want to feel during this holiday season?

Who will YOU be on January 1st once you reach this goal? 

Some ideas for Extreme Self Care Goals are:

• Walk 500,000 steps by December 31st (10,000 steps each day)
• Weekly self care treatments (Massage, facial, manicure, pedicure)
• Practice yoga 30 times (3-4 classes a week)
• Dedicate 5 hours each week to your spiritual practice (prayer, mediation)
• Take all of your remaining vacation days
• Remove the word “SHOULD” from your vocabulary

Step 2:  Develop Your Daily, Weekly and Monthly Self Care Plan

Its fantastic to have one EXTREME Goal which you want to reach.  Its equally important to develop daily, weekly and monthly healthy habits to support your overarching EXTREME Self Care Goal.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Set an Intention each day
• Take 15-20 minutes to plan your day so your day doesn’t plan you
• Start each day with a note of Gratitude
• Drink plenty of water
• Take your vitamins
• Eat colorful fruits & veggies – 2 different colors at each meal
• Remove / reduce caffeine – no caffeine after 1pm
• Allow yourself 20 minutes to power down before bed – no technology
• Sleep 7-9 hours of restful sleep

Step 3:  Get the Support You Need to Achieve Your EXTREME Self Care Goal

It’s great to write down your Extreme Self Care Goal today but you will also have the support of myself and others cheering you on as you reach your goals.

I believe so much in the importance of Extreme Self Care I will be hosting 4 FREE Accountability sessions to keep you motivated, on track and accountable.

Tuesday, November 15th at 7pm CST

Wednesday, November 16th at 12pm CST

Monday, December 12th at 12pm CST

Tuesday, December 13th at 7pm CST

All sessions will be virtual.  Please RSVP to the session you’d like to attend and I will send you the dial in number.

I encourage you to pick one session in November and one session in December to attend.

In addition to the FREE Accountability sessions I have also created a Private Facebook Page for you to join others who are also committed to taking the best possible care of yourself during the holiday season.

Each week we will have a Celebration Friday to share WINS for the week.

This is also a group to reach out to for support during challenging days.

Are You Living Your Best Life?

• sarahucoach
• October 26, 2016

Today I’d like you share with you a powerful conversation I had during a networking coffee last week.  I have many conversations with individuals who are going through transition, however, this one stood out for me.

If this story resonates with you I encourage you to reach out to me and schedule a time to meet to uncover how You Can Start Living Your Best Life.

Due to the confidentiality of my coaching conversations I am changing his name to Tom for purposes of this story.

Tom shared with me that he is going through a career transition and is looking for a coach.  As he started to tell his story there was something familiar about it.  He started his career in the financial services industry and worked his way up the ranks over the years.  Two years ago he was a manager, leading a team of individuals, making a good living and building financial security for his family.  However, over the last few years he felt his happiness starting to dwindle.

Due to a company reorganization he was demoted from a manager to an individual contributor.  He shifted from leading a team to being a peer of his team.  A few months later there was yet another reorganization in which he was placed on a team – not by his choice – with a manager who was not a good fit.  As the months went on he felt his energy slowly draining due to a conflicting management style of his new boss.  As he told me his story I could see the energy draining from his face and it was also apparent in his body language.  Slowly slumping into his chair as he continued.

Tom then shared he had a good mid-year review a few months ago.  His manager said he was meeting expectations and was told to keep up the good work.

A month after his mid-year review his boss scheduled another meeting with him to have a more serious conversation with him about his career.  It was a very “harsh” conversation and he did not know where this was coming from.  After that conversation Tom walked out and realized he had 3 choices:

1. Stay and continue to endure this energy draining environment
2. Look for another position within the same company
3. Leave

Two years ago he was asked to sign a retainer contract to stay through the reorganization.  His 2 years were up and he decided to take option 3 and leave with a severance package.

Once he said he had left the energy started flowing back into his face.  He started telling me about his true passion which is writing and how he used to write nearly every day but given the draining environment he just didn’t have the energy.  Plus, he felt like his creativity was zapped.

Now, he feels happy, energized and excited about actively creating the next chapter of his life & career.  What I want for Tom is to find a role which cultivates his passion for writing.  We are just getting started so stay tuned.

What really resonated with me in Tom’ story is the enduring of an energy draining environment.  This seems to be a common theme with many individuals I talk to and coach. But what is more striking is that he did not have the ENERGY or CREATIVITY to continue to cultivate his passion of writing.  Once your passion fades away its time for a change.

Does your job support your DREAMS?

Does your job cultivate your PASSION?

Does your job allow you to Live Your Best Life?

If you answered NO to any of these questions, then it’s time to schedule your 30-minute complementary discovery session with me.

What I want for YOU is to Live Your Best Life.

With Gratitude,

Sarah Uchytil
