Announcing a Second Chance to Enroll in Inner Circle

We will begin on February 1st

Update:  What you are about to read is a description of my year-long coaching program.  You may join me for one month or as long as you’re benefitting from the material this year.  In mid- January, I started a group of clients (over 100 people).  Something interesting happened this year and I started getting emails from clients asking if a friend could sign up and “catch up” with 2 weeks of materials in a day or so.  My solution is to offer a second enrollment opportunity for the friends of my clients as well as any of of you who may’ve missed the January start date.  We’ll begin February 1st. if you choose to join me.  If now’s not the time for you, there will probably be a “mid year enrollment” opportunity this summer.

Read on for details about the program…

Hello, I am Kristin Taliaferro and most of you know me as “KristinCoach”.  2010 marks the beginning of my 12th year as a full-time life and career coach.  If you’ve ever wished for your very own personal coach, read on as I tell you about the most popular program I offer.

Something I regularly hear from clients is how life feels EASIER to them after coaching with me.  They no longer feel stagnant and are usually thrilled with the concrete results and changes they’ve created. After feeling “stuck” for years around a particular goal or area of life, many of them are in awe of themselves and what they’ve been able to accomplish with ease.

The frequency of the “Life feels EASIER after coaching” notion really made me think and dissect exactly what I was doing to help them jump on an easier and less-frustrating path in life.

I don’t want to freak you out, but there are two forces inside of you directing your every move.  One makes life EASY and the other will keep you STUCK.

The two forces?  One is your HIGHER self and the other is your LOWER self.  And, yes, we all have the dynamic duo living inside of us.

My work, as a coach, is to keep my client FOCUSED on their goals each week. Sounds really basic and straight-forward, right?

The key here is HOW I keep them focused.

Let me give you a quick overview of what it’s like to live from your HIGHER self versus your LOWER self.

When you’re living from your HIGHER self, you:

*  live a balanced life
*  take good care of yourself
*  do work you love
*  have harmonious relationships
*  eat healthful foods that energize you
*  have integrity
*  feel deeply grateful
*  feel centered and clear minded
*  radiate an inner glow
*  feel CONFIDENT
*  have fun
*  take consistent action to propel your life forward
*  have goals that align with your values

Most importantly, you FEEL GOOD, which makes life seem easy…no matter what you’re facing.

When you’re living from your LOWER self, you:

*  make fear-based decisions
*  stay in a job you don’t like
*  over-work until you are dog tired.
*  allow people to cross boundaries
*  neglect your body/fitness/self-care
*  eat junky foods
*  have un-focused or racing thoughts
*  lack clarity
*  worry a lot
*  lack joyful or fun experiences
*  feel stuck frequently
*  easily attract problems or crisis

Can you see how living this way would make you feel CRUMMY or FRUSTRATED?  That’s the recipe for a life that feels very HARD.

Sadly, the world we live in tends to direct our attention toward living a “lower self” life.  That’s why I feel so strongly about my coaching program.

Let me give you a great example of someone from the 2009 Inner Circle Program and how “living from her HIGHER self” got her through one of the most challenging years of her life.

“I started the year knowing there would be lots of changes but not sure exactly what they’d be.  My marriage wasn’t working, I had debt and felt scared and unsure.  Kristin’s Inner Circle Program was a God-send and kept me focused on living on a higher level versus curling up in a ball.  I felt accountable all year for stepping up and moving through my divorce and financial losses with grace.  I can honestly say I dealt with some of the greatest setbacks in anyone’s life with a smile on my face.  Kristin kept me moving forward each week without getting wrapped up in the losses behind me. I couldn’t get to the computer fast enough to read her latest articles for the group or see some of her comments. I also signed up for a handful of phone sessions with Kristin which were AWESOME and a nice boost.  Looking back on the year, I feel proud of how I handled myself when most people I know would’ve been depressed or bitter.  Not me.  I accomplished a long list of goals and feel better than I have in a long time.  This year, I learned that life can feel easy no matter what’s going on or crumbling around you.” - Dawne, Illinois

Nope, I’m not a fake-happy coach who denies the possibility of challenging events entering your life.  It’s LIFE and it does happen.  However, when I say that LIFE IS EASY, I really mean it.  Pay careful attention to this next part, since it’s another part of my secret of success with clients…

How you FEEL internally determines how life feels to you.

If you feel crummy, overloaded, tired or frustrated….life will definitely feel HARD to you.

But, if you take excellent care of yourself, create balance, quiet your mind, eat healthfully, set goals that reflect your core values (the list goes on and on)....you’ll practically hear birds chirping as you go about your day.  When you FEEL great, life BECOMES great.

In my program, I nudge my clients to put some core practices and principles into place so that living from their HIGHER self becomes automatic and accomplishing their goals is a natural result.

Before I give you the details about how to sign up, a few more clients volunteered to share their thoughts with you.  You’ll find a link to their one minute audio, with an expanded testimonial:

” For the first time in my life, I have balance.  My life is so much happier and peaceful and I highly recommend this program and talk about it all the time with my friends.  Step by step, things started happening. Thanks, Kristin! “- Meg, Wisconsin

“I’ve made major shifts with my business and personal life and I’m excited about the new direction we’ve mapped out and having more time with my daughter and husband.  Plus, I’m doing what I love.  Thank you very much! “- Yvette, Louisiana

“Kristin is one of the most professional, compassionate and consistent people I’ve ever worked with.  But, what has really impressed me is how much she cares about her students.  I trust Kristin more than I trust others I’ve known for years.” - Jack, Florida 

“You’ve been a guiding light this year - especially with my photography business.  Everything that comes from your corner has been hugely beneficial to me. ” - Leila, California  

Many of my clients tried LOTS of other approaches before they found me.  Coaching with other coaches, therapy, workshops, self-help books, you name it!  What I always love is how pleasantly surprised (and relieved) they are during the first few weeks when they realize they’ve finally found something that works and at an affordable price. 

” I can honestly say that the money I’ve paid for this program is the best investment I’ve ever made.  I’ve tried other means to improve my life (therapy, reading self-help books, making New Year’s resolutions, working on goals with friends, meditating, etc), and none of those ways has been as effective as Kristin’s program. This year I was able to realize a life-long dream of traveling to India.  I don’t think I would have achieved this goal had I not been participating in the Inner Circle program. The program helped me to become more proactive, to learn to look for possibilities when facing obstacles, to seek out more fun in my life, and to take action towards achieving my goals.  Kristin, thank you for an incredible year!” - Madeline, South Korea

“I have learned that it is not only about coaching but how you put it together. Kristin you have a gift and are great at what you do.  I have worked with a coach before and did not feel like I accomplished 1/4 as much as I have with you, and that was phone coaching which was much more expensive than this program. I have accomplished so much this year and have taken leaps of faith that I am still sometimes very nervous about but know that they are necessary to grow.” - Clivia, Texas

In 2009, I coached over 100 people a week in my Inner Circle Program.  You read a few of their comments already.  In 2010, I’m going for it again!  After polling my clients, I discovered many of them want to continue for another year.  So, I’m stepping it up and adding new goodies and fresh content to keep everyone happy and the coach (me) on her toes! 

“The amazing thing about this program and Kristin is that she helps you do so much more than you thought you could.  It’s a very cumulative process so that a lot of small steps add up to big progress.  I really get a lot out of the weekly challenges or questions of the week that really make you think and put all of the smaller things into perspective.  Kristin doesn’t have you do things just as an exercise.  There’s always a bigger picture in mind and it’s nice when it all fits together.  Kristin is great to work with and practice what she teaches.”  Rob, Connecticut

“Since working with Kristin in the Inner Circle this year, my life has transformed rapidly. I was tolerating situations and behaviors that were holding me back professionally and personally. For example, I went from working a job that didn’t allow me to pursue my creative goals to working as a professional actor on stage and network television. Kristin asked that we be specific, focused and passionate when it comes to our goals which was all I needed to make some big changes in my life. The result is that I am constantly reminded to stay aligned with my goals - when that happens, things fall in place.” - Jules, California

But, we’ll move forward with new material each week, as a group.  I expect a 70-80% level of participation from everyone and will keep track!

It’s a privilege to support my clients with their goals every year.  Most people begin with long lists of things they want to DO or HAVE.  After taking action on those goals and accomplishing them, they ultimately feel most pleased with how they’ve blossomed along the way.  In my program, you’ll DO a lot but you’ll also be encouraged to BECOME your best self.  It’s the ideal balance, in my book.

Some of my favorite letters this year came from some very accomplished people who finally learned the value of adding more joy to their lives.  Getting a lot done feels great and I’m all for it!  But, sometimes a deeper level of fulfillment comes from simply enjoying your life more.  Is this something you need to learn?  If you feel something’s missing from your life, consider setting a goal to have more fun in 2010 and let’s see what happens.

“Five years ago, Kristin helped me create my dream job and work schedule.  This year I tried a new form of life coaching, the Inner Circle Program.  I started the year with my list of goals to accomplish.  One was to become more joyful and peaceful.  Kristin asks you to commit to doing things that help you achieve your goals.  Yoga was my way of developing inner peace, so I did it all year.  Here’s a fun story:  My son’s third birthday party was Sunday, & my husband and a close friend said ‘something’s different…and I like it!’.  I felt it too.  I wasn’t stressed out and yelling at my husband to make every detail ‘perfect’.  As a result, it was perfect.  I even found time to sneak a few kisses in.  I finally got to experience all of my beautiful friends & their beautiful children laugh and play.  I didn’t stay in the kitchen to make sure everyone was serviced.  I put all of the food and drink out and let people help themselves.  That evening I just kind of bathed in joy after everyone left and I saw my children sleeping.  This year has been something really special for me.  I owe it in large part to this program, and I am very, very grateful for it.” - Carolyn, California

“While I’ve accomplished many small and some large goals this year, I want to talk about one of the BIG ones that I accomplished:  Have more fun and joy this year.  When I wrote the goal, I didn’t have a lot of ideas in mind for how to achieve it.  I just knew it was something that was missing!  My husband rides a Harley, but neither of us liked it when I rode as a passenger.  I thought I might like to drive a Harley, so I started with a small, cute scooter to see if I’d like it.  I named the scooter Towanda, and scooted all over the neighborhood at 30 mph.  When I took the safety course to get my moped license I chose to take it on a motorcycle and get that license instead.  I LOVED driving the motorcycle, the power, speed, focus and freedom.  Within a month a had a new Harley, and in October I went on my first group trip and had a lot of fun going through the “twisties” in Arkansas and keeping up with all the guys on their big ol’ bikes!” - Leslie, Texas
