The weather has turned warmer and you are counting the days until the end of the "school year" and the start of summer and scheduled vacations. It may seem like you are just holding on, limping along, and willing yourself across the finish line. You have vowed that this time it will be different. You have finally had enough and you are ready to say, "NO MORE!"

This summer you will take the steps to make a change. You are not going to endure another year like this one (or the one before it or the one before that!).

But, just like New Year's Resolutions, you have had these intentions before and somehow they got stuck in neutral and never seemed to get activated to make the change you SAY you seek.

Let's take the steps to get out of our own way and make positive progress toward allowing you to excel and make your thoughts about what you; Would, Could, or Should do, into a reality.

It is not a failure to change direction if you are headed the wrong way! Leaving a career you have been so dedicated to for years is a change you probably did not anticipate having to make. Yet, just like we tell our students each year when they are promoted to the next grade or to a new school (or graduate from school) - "you take all that you have learned and all of the experiences you have acquired and apply it to the next challenge."

ONW (OKAYNOWWHAT) INSIGHTS

After over 30 years working in corporate training, sales enablement, management and having worn the hats of; corporate employee, entrepreneur, author, academic, keynote speaker, and youth sports coach and mentor, I am now adding to my roster of jobs - business coach.  While I still maintain the original businesses (www.zahnconsulting.com and www.workshop360.biz), I am now adding www.okaynowwhat.biz.  It is through this new offering that I will assist new entrepreneurs, those considering becoming entrepreneurs, and business professionals who want to rekindle the spark they once had for the work they do - but have lost their passion over time.

I want to be of service - it is through that effort that the greatest rewards can be found and shared with others.  Having seen and experienced much in my career from many different sides of business relationships, I want to share it with others and provide the learning to help others accomplish their goals.

Together, we CAN achieve great things.  Working collaboratively and meeting each challenge as it arises and overcoming it until we feel completely confident in your ability to do so without guidance.  Working with your own private cheering section to lift you up when you stumble and provide you with guardrails and a metaphorical safety harness when trying new things to expand your reach and capability.  

If you are ready, so am I!  We can do this!  Click here to get started!

If you are certain you are ready to embark on your own business launch, you can  schedule a no obligation "Chat and Chew With You" conversation to explore whether my business coaching is right for you, click here

COOL RESOURCE 

It may seem you cannot turn on a news program or surf your favorite website aggregator without coming across an article about hackers cybersecurity, and password protection. However, for most of us, having to remember all of the unique passwords we are asked to create for the different websites we visit, or for those applications that mandate frequent password changes as part of their effort to keep information secure, it has become a nightmare. All too often we get locked out of sites we subscribe to, have to answer security questions, or re-set our passwords due to too many failed log-in attempts. To help organize your password archiving and retrieval is a tool called LastPass (www.lastpass.com). This tool allows you to store your passwords, access them, update them as needed, etc. Best of all, it has a free service! If you wish to share it across your multiple devices (laptop, phone, tablet, etc.), they offer a premium version at a very reasonable price.uirements.

Try it. You will find a treasure trove of opportunity!
