coaching tools CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO ENLIVEN AND REFRESH YOUR COACHING BUSINESS Reproduced with the permission of choice Magazine, www.choice-online.com Money Habitudes A Guide for Professionals Working with Money Related Issues 190 Money impacts everything, especially with the current economy. Having a way to address the beliefs our clients have around money can make a big difference in their success. Money Habitudes by Syble Solomon helps you have effective and powerful coaching conversations on this touchy topic. The card sort process gets to core money habits and attitudes and the workbook provides step by step guidance, worksheets and exercises to deepen your clients’ awareness and create specific goals. The six core money habitudes are: Security, Status, Selfless, Free Spirit, Targeted Goals, and Spontaneous. Our habitudes are a reflection of our personality and our upbringing, and as you can guess, these core beliefs are likely to show up in other arenas besides money. Most people are not conscious of their underlying money beliefs and this discovery process opens the door for very rich coaching conversations. The cards and workbook exercises can be used in individual work, couples coaching and workshops. The great thing about money habitudes is that it’s easy, hands-on, jargon-free, multisensory and appeals to both men and women. If you want to create money aha’s check out Money Habitudes!

Suzanne Falter-Barns’ two-CD set, Coming Out Of Hiding, addresses those fears and provides tools to stretch you beyond your current comfort zone. The instruction CD is from a live session in Barns’ Business Builders series. She talks about why we hide and the traps that keep us there. The guided meditation CD helps you get at the core rules you may have learned along the way that limit your success. The meditation is followed by a series of powerful affirmations, which you can listen to regularly or adapt and record in your own voice. We all want our clients to step into their highest potential and as Marianne Williamson says in her often-quoted piece Our Deepest Fear: “Your playing small does not serve the world.” This CD set is perfect for clients who are hesitant about stepping into a bigger light and it will also give you great material for coaching. We can also serve our clients by doing our own work in this area. Again from Marianne Williamson: “As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Reproduced with the permission of choice Magazine, www.choice-online.com

Allen suggests choosing a card to carry with you for a day, propping one up on your keyboard or sending one off Releasing Blocks to Action by Ann Weiser Cornell Releasing Blocks to Action is a five-CD course grounded in a technique called Focusing. Blocks to action happen because something in you wants to take the action and something in you in a note card to a friend or a client. Invite workshop participants to choose a card as a takeaway or use them at an doesn’t. We tend to side with one part over the other and like any conflict this creates resistance. Focusing is a deep listening process that tunes into body awareness, works with the “felt sense” and brings great gentleness and curiosity to the part that doesn’t want to take the action. The underlying assumption is that all parts or voices within have wisdom and information to share. Ann Weiser Cornell is a masterful guide in this process. The two guided exercises per CD offer deeply intuitive, spacious, slowly unfolding experiences that can produce profound shifts in awareness.
