Seeking Ideas for Podcast

So, the worldwide podcast “Your Life, Your Way, Starting Today” is slated to go live this month.  As we put the final logistics together, I want to know…what do YOU want to know?   What questions do you want answered?  What guests would you like to see?  What topics would you like covered?  Let me know by emailing info@stellarcc.com and your name will be entered into a draw for a $50 Chapters/Indigo gift card!

Increasing my Techno-presence

So, I’ve been playing in (actually more like gingerly dipping my toes in) the world of technology.  It’s rather a necessity given my plan to have my podcast up and running in the next four weeks!  In the interest of really increasing my profile and credibility, I’m endeavouring to maximize my techno-presence — I’m committed to regular blogging, working on twittering and basically having this all come together in a seamless package.  In an effort to do this efficiently, I’m leaning into you, my readers/followers, for support and suggestions.  What would you like to see happen in order for you to recommend others to become followers of Stellar Coaching & Consulting?  In terms of my podcast — Your Life, Your Way, Starting Today — what topics would you like me to cover?  What burning questions are you longing to have answered, that would allow you to really live life the way you want to?  And what other nuggets would you like to share?  I’m truly curious!  So share your thoughts and ideas, and let’s this conversation started — and then keep it going!

Can’t wait to see what turns up…

Just Picked My Theme — What’s Yours?

Those of you who’ve been following me for a while know that I’m big on choosing a theme for each year.  It’s an idea I got from the Chinese calendar, but instead of animal themes I’m going for something more “all-encompassing”.  This past year, I decided that my focus was going to be on growth and abundance.  Using these two words as my barometers, I chose my activities and projects accordingly.  It always feels like a fun way to set an intention or two — provides a base of sorts, if you will.

Anyhow, last night it came to me, my theme for 2009.  It’s a two-fold one again.  But the words are so resonant for me that it cannot be denied.  2009 will be my year of “expansion” and “new story”.  This is the year that I expand my vision, my horizon, my reach AND the year that I change some old scripts in a really conscious, and BIG way.  (As I write the word “expansion”, there’s a gremlin-voice that wants to make it about waistlines — but no, there will be no expanding waistlines here!).

So, all that being said, I would love to hear your theme(s) for the new year.  What do you want to use as your “guiding principles” in 2009?  Whatever they are, may they be powerfully resonant for you and take you right where you want to go!

National TV Exposure

So, thought I’d use my blog to share some fabulous news.

On December 24th, 2008 I will be doing a feature on Canada AM, promoting my co-authored book The Control Freak’s Guide to Living Lightly, and linking it specifically to managing stress around the holidays.  After all, much of the stress that gets created is a result of the expectations we hold around ourselves and others.  And when we can let go or modify these expectations, then we can truly lighten up and enjoy the holidays as they are meant to be — whether that includes chaos or not, solitude or not, massive shopping lines or not.  It’s all about learning to let go, right?  Tune in to CTV on the 24th if you can!  And if you haven’t got a copy of the book yet, order it at www.controlfreakseries.com.
