In Linda's words...

Aloha! ​ I have been in the International Toastmasters Organization since 2006. I joined because I had to do marketing presentations for the Washington State Realtor's Association and their affiliates, on a podium, with a microphone, addressing agents and lenders: people who handled hundreds of thousands of other people's money and homes. Each audience represented millions of dollars that would change hands that day. It also represented the hopes and fears of people waiting to sell their home and move on in life; or wishing and dreaming to buy a home, and start a new part of their life.

How could I, in my brief moments, make them pay attention to the homes and buyers that I represented? How could I intrigue and convince them to work with me? How could I best perform the job of helping my sellers and buyers achieve their dreams and goals?

I joined the nearest Toastmasters and learned to hone my skills of effective speech, making my time and words work to the best effect. I left Real Estate when I moved to Hawaii, but I've continued to support speakers in the Kona Toastmasters Club. Helping a speaker who has a desire to express, who feels called and compelled to share a message is the most valuable work that I perform.

My focus moved to supporting other speakers while I was still in Olympia, Washington. Watching a woman or man struggle against the obstacles of nervousness, uncertainty, undependable voice, not knowing what words to use...and the powerful, jubilant transformation when everything begins to click, and the words begin to flow, their heart opens and their eyes shine as they realize they can speak effectively. and be heard and understood. That they have delivered a message, planted a seed, made a difference (even a small difference) in the listener's life.

Even before Toastmasters I enjoyed speaking and acting. I performed in a few plays, done a little singing, and some voice acting too. Mostly amateur, some radio ads.

A surprising strength that I bring to Public Speaking is my long career in various retail and other sales. You see, every speech, every lesson, every negotiation is like a sales transaction. First, there's a problem to be solved, or a void to be filled. A solution is offered by the seller or the speaker, and evaluated by the buyer or the listener. It gets accepted or rejected. Both parties are satisfied...or not! The best sales, and the best speeches, are full of value, go smoothly and easily for both sides, and end up happy for everyone!

Marni is 50 years old she is married with 2 children and is a very driven business woman working in the corporate world trying to juggle a family a home to run, and also work, although part time a rather high positioned and challenging career.   Her average income is between 90k to 120k.

Marni is exhausted and tired most of the time, looking after everyone else putting herself last is in fact taking it's toll on her health.   She is very overweight and knows that her blood pressure is too high no doubt due to the extra stress she is enduring.

Marni wants to find quick solutions to her problems fast   She wants to provide an excellent example to her children of what you can do when you put your mind to it.  She actually loves structure and having a plan but lately she just cannot seem to function or put the important things into perspective.  She lies awake at night worrying and beating herself up about her weight and feeling constantly tired, heavy and bloated, knowing that she is eating and drinking the incorrect foods, wondering if I start another lifestyle program asking herself "I wonder if I can really do this ", "I hope it's not too hard ", "Will I really succeed this time so that it's the last diet I ever go on?" "How can I get results without a whole lot of pain ", "Come on fatty, just do it! "

Marni worries that it will never change and the situation will get worse, and therefore lead to serious health implications which is then another thing she will be forced to contend with.

She so wants to feel good in her own skin again feel happy when she puts her designer clothes on, feel sexy again and see her husband actually looking at her and knowing he is admiring how gorgeous she looks, and also how proud he is that she is oozing with energy and greater health for making the choice to a healthier life style change.
​
Marni truly believes that in order to be a good mother and wife, and to be fit trim and healthy, she does in fact need to manage her time better and commit to choosing the healthier option.  She really wants to do this for herself and to be that example for her children and husband.  Even though Marni has a very busy life, she also knows that it can be planned to prioritise her health and be the best role model to her family which is something that constantly she worries about and is very important to her. 

By identifying your perfect customer or Avatar and having a name for him/her it will really help craft your message.   Are you a life,business or wellness coach? ​Do you need a strategy blitz call to assist you with this.   Use my calendar link to make a booking - click on the pic

​"Happy New Year to you.

January is already speeding past and I have been busy planning workshops, talks, interviews and magazine articles so far this year and I love it. This month’s newsletter is to help you learn what your body is telling you with regard to Headaches.

Headaches are caused if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or tired. Maybe you’re thinking too much, being judgmental of yourself and others and not trusting what is happening around you.

You may feel limited or restricted in what you want to do or maybe you are looking after others so you don’t have to look after yourself and what you really want. You may doubt what your capable of and have a fear of failing. You may want to appear that you are successful but things that happened in the past where you didn't achieve exactly what you wanted have left you feeling powerless. Maybe you are always trying to push hard to achieve many things and you feel like you are not good enough. When you get a headache it's time to take some time for yourself and allow other people to look after themselves for a while.

Make sure you get enough sleep (check out free webinar here I did to help people sleep better).

Also have a think about what could have caused the headache from information above and what can you change that has happened recently to improve your situation. Your body is always talking to you so listen to what it is saying. Keep your energy balanced and when you make the changes and self realise what is happening that is when the pain will stop.

I would love to support you so you are free from pain and teach you about your emotions and how you can listen to what they are really telling you. Everything that happens to you is a reflection of how you are truly feeling on the inside. So if you are continuously feeling ill or getting into relationships that are not replenishing you, it’s time to look at yourself and make the changes needed.

If you are ready to get 1-1 support now and learn things like • how to improve your health, happiness and clarity • how to live without old behaviors keep stopping you from being happy • how to enjoy creating your life how you want it to be • how to improve your relationships then contact me to find out more about the special 1-1 package.
