Empower the Empowerer!

One of my New Year's resolutions is to "Empower the Empowerer!"; that is to "Coach the Coach" or "Train the Trainer". I have been extremely busy over the past 11 years designing courseware for my clients, so now it's time for my wonderful Associate Coaches to step in and teach my courses. I am as excited as a mother bird watching her chicks leave the nest. However, the astounding part is that no matter how many people I train, I still need more individuals to help me. There is so much to do and not enough time. I also need some courseware developers to round out my offerings.

I also use "Empower the Empowerer!" to motivate and inspire me. As they say, "physician, heal thyself". One of my other New Year's resolutions (who says we need to have only one) is to lose that last 11 pounds--you know, those pesky pounds that have stayed around my middle for the last 11 years. It is interesting to note that if I lost just one pound a day over the past 11 years, I would now be at my goal weight. Enough said, however, as I use positive self-talk (the same type of talk that I use with my clients) to attain this goal. I will start my diet on January 7, 2008 (Orthodox Christmas) and will end it 10 weeks later, and I hope to lose 11 pounds. Do any one of you want to step up to the plate and challenge me with their own weight loss regime or other resolution? I'd love to hear from you.
