WEEKLY UPDATE: Speak Your Truth Workbook - Available NEXT WEEK

Summary: Next week, the much-anticipated communications course workbook Speak Your Truth: How to Say What You Mean to Get What You Want launches. Visit www.speak-your-truth.com then to take advantage of a special early bird offer. Start speaking your truth now!

"I should be happy to have a job. I should be happy to have a job. I should be happy to have a job."

Has this become your personal mantra? In the last two years, we've gone from a work world that was once full of team-building exercises and leadership development seminars to one where all the rules of engagement have totally disappeared. Our office places are chaotic and frightening: Managers have been thrust into positions they're not prepared to handle and the dwindling number of employees they manage are often too busy looking over their shoulders to worry about what's in front of them—or who is next to them, trying to keep pace.

The human brain is a miraculous thing. But it can only handle so much. When your brain is challenged by a flood of emotions like fear and uncertainty, your cognitive ability to make decisions and complete tasks is compromised.

What do you do? Download the workbook Speak Your Truth: How to Say What You Mean to Get What You Want for answers!

I'm excited to share with you that, after months of preparation (and the diligent efforts of a whole village of people like editor Patricia Alma Lee, web developer Stephen Parker, marketing guru Ed Erickson, as well as my fellow speaker Stefania Aulicino and speech mentor Tim Wilson, who both helped me flesh out the details of the workbook's practical exercises), this communications course workbook will be available to you the first week of February. That's next week! I hope you'll take advantage of the SPECIAL OFFER that will be available to a limited number of people then, so you can start speaking your truth now.

Happy New Year!

Summary: Here is my personal list of New Year's resolutions for this year, using the method I outlined for you earlier this week. Where is YOURS?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! *blaring noisemaker* Isn't it great to ring in 2010 and count all the things you're grateful to have in your life? No matter who—or where—you are, you can do this and smile.

One thing that often wipes that smile right off of someone's face is facing the dreaded tradition of the New Year's resolution. It's often dreaded, however, only because most of the people who make resolutions don't keep them. One stat says that merely 12% of those who make resolutions attain the goals they've laid out for themselves in those resolutions. That's not a lot of resolve!

The same source purports that this small number rises at least 10% when resolutions are made public. So, let's get to it! I'll start (and you follow).

Resolved:
1. To work with web developer Stephen Parker & complete packaging of my online e-course "Speak YOUR Truth" by the end of January
2. To conduct market research per the direction of marketing expert Ed Erickson, beginning with the creation of a list of organizations in my niche that hire speakers to be drafted by February, with next steps plotted thereafter
3. To practice better sleep hygiene by continuing use of relaxation CD at night, discontinuing TV & snacks after 9 p.m., & setting my alarm for 30 mins. earlier than usual beginning this week!

The key to really attaining your goals (and mine) is to keep the momentum going by setting new mile-markers along the way after each small one is met. Reassessing deadlines to make them more realistic is also helpful when necessary—just as is pushing yourself to meet the original deadline and accepting the need to extend it as recognized. Remember that, like with anything, balance is key.

Good luck! And may you have a fortunate 2010.

WEEKLY UPDATE: Online Connections

I've been talking and talking—and writing—about my revamped website and all of the forthcoming goodies it offers. This week, thanks to the wonderful Stephen Parker of sparker webgroup, all these words became reality when we launched the new website to the world.

KiKiProductionsInc.com offers a number of tools and tips for improving the way you share with the world, by enhancing the way you are seen and heard. Not only can you connect with me directly there to book coaching sessions and public speeches, as well as written work, you can also reserve your spot in a number of online opportunities, like my forthcoming e-book and e-course, "Speak Your Truth."

You might say there are copious resources at your disposal all in one site! Via the new webite, you can connect with me on Facebook and Twitter, and you can connect with many of my affiliates—who are also wonderful wordsmiths, all of them in their own rights.

There's a spiritual side to my work, additionally, that connects people to themselves and others, so that true communication can occur. And that side shines fully through on the new site. Scope it out today, and tell me what you think!
