Theme Song assignment May 16, 2008

The Mocha Moms held their first southwest regional conference on April 26, 2008 and the day opened with a fun workshop, Finding Your Theme Song! So, here is a follow up exercise for those still searching for their Power Theme Song.

1. Think about a challenge in your life. This is an area that you want to see greater positive results.
2. What’s holding you back? Which behavior, environmental element, habit are you resisting to modify?
3. How would it feel to have a breakthrough in that area?
4. Write down that feeling. And this week, listen to music intentionally looking for a song that evokes that new feeling.
5. Share with us. Comment on the blog.

May you all courageously walk into season.

Be well,

Sheree

Better than you thought May 12, 2008

I’m a member of Toastmasters Inc. It’s an organization that helps you build leadership and public speaking skills. I’ve been a member for over a year and I honestly don’t know why it took this long for someone to drag me into this organization. It’s all about talking! And I love to talk. In my club, I’m a bit of a celebrity…if 20 people adoring you qualifies as celeb-status. They think I’m funny. They think I deliver great speeches. They think I have a special quality. Want to know what I think? I think that I need to prepare more. I think that I speak too fast. I think that I still haven’t delivered a good, well-rehearsed speech. So I feel like I’m cheating at something when they pour on the praise.

Now don’t get me wrong, I know that I have the gift of gab. And thankfully, I’m intelligent and intuitive and am put on this Earth to help other people see and realize their greatness. So with that mission, can you see how it doesn’t work for me to feel like a fraud in the one place that’s all about growing as a speaker?

Have you ever realized that you’re better at something than you thought?
