Guided Introduction to Meditation with Gail

Just for you!

In my work as a mindfulness coach and habit change coach, I am teaching and practicing the art of meditation as a total beginner.  There is huge value even in 5 minutes from the stillness, quiet and solitude.  If you are an overactive thinker, like me, have no fear.  Even you can get benefit from doing your best to quiet your mind.

This practice can increase your calm, tune up the volume on your intuition, and help you recalibrate your energy.  This is GREAT for reducing the frenzy, flailing and overwhelm.  Get re-centered and grounded.  Bring yourself back to what really matters and make an inspired choice about what actions are best for you after you meditate.

Below is a recording with my voice leading you from start to finish in a meditation. 

Mindfulness Practice - Do Nothing for 2 Minutes!

I believe it is vital that we take moments away from the pressures of daily living.  In order to:

• improve performance
• reduce stress
• be more resilient
• reduce overwhelm
• boost our emotional fitness and
• be present and discover hidden opportunities in our work and life

we need to be more mindful, more accepting, more forgiving and more present!

Here is a tool to help you be more mindful and refreshed in as little as 2 minutes!

1. Go to http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/
2. Take 5 deep breaths to take you out of your head and into your body
3. Let go of whatever came before this moment and set aside whatever is calling to you do DO, DO, DO and instead
4. Be quiet and listen to the sounds of the ocean and
5. BE, BE, BE

Email me the benefits you experience after even just one visit with the ocean and your Self by clicking on my email address [email protected].  If you like this experience, set a timer in your phone for at least one daily mindfulness break!

Mindfulness and self-awareness are age-old practices that can change your career or business.  As an executive, you have so many competing priorities, work and life decisions and choices... at times is seems like a lot of noise.

I'm here to share a habit I began in the summer of 2012 that has made a big impact in my life and that of my clients... MEDITATION!  Now if you are thinking, "I can barely sit still for 5 minutes much less have a calm, quiet mind" you are speaking my language!  I had the same thoughts and resistance for years.

THEN... I found Headspace.

FINALLY!  An answer even for overactive minds like mine and yours!

Emergency Roadside Assistance for your Career

Sometimes you need a lot of help in your job search or finding career direction. Sometimes you only need a little.  

Wherever you are in the process, Gail can help and will meet you where you are! You may need to take your career into the shop for diagnostics and a complete overhaul.  Maybe you just have a flat tire and need roadside assistance.

Whether you are new to job search after 20+ years or re-evaluating your career direction, feel stuck, unmotivated or can't stay on track, Gail can provide guidance, training, support, accountability and inspiration to take brave action and stay on course til you land.

For deeper guidance, you may be interested in Gail's "starter coaching program" for executives in job search or seeking career changes who have these needs:

• How to decide what you WANT to do in your next role vs. what you CAN do in your career. Follow your passion! You will show up differently while networking and in interviews and you will be more motivated.
  
• You don't like and don't do enough networking, are shy, or are not sure how to make it productive and more comfortable. Lots of job seekers have nice conversations and gallons of coffee without results.
• How to ask for help and introductions without feeling needy, greedy, imposing or looking helpless. This one critical job search and career change investigation technique can lead to uncovering hidden opportunities.
• You lack confidence and motivation after a layoff, a bad experience, or a prolonged period of unemployment or underemployment. You need to rebuild, regroup and get grounded in how wonderful you and your talent is so you interview well.

 

• Is new to job search after 20+ years or using old methods that aren't working?
• Feels stuck, stalled, unmotivated or you can’t stay on track?
• Wishes you had guidance, inspiration, support and accountability to stay in action?
• Is uncomfortable selling yourself and not sure what to say? 
• Doesn't like or feel comfortable networking (which should be 70% of your efforts!)
