A Note from Andrea
School’s Out!
 Roger and I got a jump start on summer and we’re on vacation in the Dominican Republic this week (I’ll share pictures next week!) at the Sun Village Resort at Cofresi. I won a seven-days, all-inclusive stay in a raffle last spring. Lucky ducks are we!
We are pampering ourselves with sun-filled days on the beach and by the pool, snorkeling with new bright-colored friends, showing off our Latin Dance moves at the resort’s nightclub (we took lessons in preparation for this trip), and trying every local culinary treat.
Our days are for the most part unplanned, subject to our moods and general whimsy, and we’re open to being delighted by whatever comes up. We actively anticipateded losing ourselves in the stories and places found in the novels we packed for the trip.
Leisure and relaxation are the perfect mental space for considering what to keep and what to drop from our regular day to day routines.
The pre-trip frenzy feels like it all took place several months ago. Can we hold on to the glow of rejuvenation, incorporating the simple pleasures that can make a difference any day?
How are you spending your summer vacation? Are you planning self-indulgence, learning, adventure? Enjoy!
With support & enthusiasm,

SPEAK! Andrea’s Laser Coaching Call-in Day
Want to sample a bit of complimentary coaching?
Next Wednesday, June 27 is my next scheduled “laser coaching” day (usually the last Wednesday of each month). This is a special “extra” I provide to all of my clients whether they are part of a membership program or they retain me for one-on-one, individualized coaching. Clients can call me for 15 minutes of “just in time” coaching on a specific topic. It’s amazing what can be accomplished in a short period of time.
This week I’m extending the benefit of coaching to all of my ezine readers as well. Call me and try it out!

The dogs still get their walk and I go to yoga, but these big chunks of time should make it possible for you to get hold of me.
Feature
 Coaching Your Big Picture
I was first attracted to coaching eight years ago, because the process is similar to how I approach life.
What’s My Universe: When I’m considering challenges or give thought to trying new things, I typically step back and conduct an “whole-assed” (as opposed to “half-assed”) assessment. What’s the all of what’s going on?
I’m Okay Exactly As I Am: The stress I’m feeling is natural, because I’m about to change. There’s nothing wong with me; I’m simply ready for my next stage of development. I need resources—support and assurance—that it’s okay. I need my personal cheerleaders to roar me on.
Creating a Strategy for Success: This is the heart of successful change. Planning all of the steps ahead of time, to reduce the number of unanticipated outcomes and to increase my likelihood of success.
Moving Forward: Taking action is the antidote to my fear. And having others know about my dreams and plans creates accountability. I want to be true to my word as well as my intentions, so I’m compelled to follow through.
Working with a coach, you receive unconditional support and a partner in acomplishing your goals. Your coach provides a safe place for dreaming, mirrors back to you what you say you want, challenges you on faulty assumptions, co-creates a game plan, and heralds every productive move and small victory that brings you closer to your goals.
I believe it is critical to look back in order to move forward. But whatever you find there will serve as important building blocks—meaningful nuggets and clues—for whatever you are up to next.
The Fearless, Fabulous Project model stretches these four stages into manageable chunks of discovery and self-expression. And it also provides the additional encouragement of other women who are similary inquisitive and eager to make their lives more satisfying.

I’ve always priding myself on my “big picture thinking” (thanks to my geography major in college).Through twenty-five years in the workplace, it’s been proven out to me time and time again that pulling back to see the whole is the answer to solving the smallest of problems in front of us.
Watch this movie to feel inspired and peaceful. A poetic statement, this movie offers some insight into the nature of big picture thinking. Visit Big Picture Coda.
