Lost and Found

by Evelyn on July 29, 2010 · 4 comments

I spent 15 minutes looking for my car keys the other day even though I was sure I’d left them in the glass dish on the table by the front door. I must have looked there 5 or 6 times, then in my briefcase, my jacket pockets, then back to the dish where I’d started. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Frustrated, I walked into my bedroom to finish putting yesterday’s clothes away and out fell the keys from the pocket of the jacket I’d just rifled through several times.

As women executives with unrelenting schedules, I’m almost certain you can relate to the above. We search so hard for something that’s right in front of us, but we just can’t see it. It’s like we look right past it. Similarly, when we’re looking for an answer to a particularly challenging problem, we only see the same old worn out solutions when what we need is a fresh pair of eyes and a new way of thinking.

Ever notice how you can be talking to someone about something that’s been vexing you for some time and they manage to cut through the cloud of confusion and ambivalence in a way that leaves you breathless? You ask yourself: “How did they do that?” “Why didn’t I see that before?” It’s not anything you’re doing or not doing. It’s about being able to look strategically and objectively at a situation without the emotional, cumbersome baggage we often bring to our decision-making process.

That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for – to help you see with new eyes; to think in a new way that allows you to bushwhack the path you’re destined to take. Because I feel so strongly that I can help you break that impasse, I’m offering you an opportunity to talk one-on-one with me for free about a topic of your choice.

If you knew you could walk away at the end of our conversation with the beginnings of a strategic plan to rid yourself of a painful, pressing problem, could you say no to my offer? Let’s chat, shall we, and see how we can shine a new light on an old problem.


From Breakdown to Breakthrough Strategy Sessions are 45 minutes (a $497 value). Calls are limited. To schedule your complimentary call go to:

Evelyn,

How generous of you to offer your time, expertise and talent for free! I have tweeted this blog link for you.

P.S. Where did you find this pic of me? HAAAA!

Pam,

I am certain that is NOT your pic I used for this week’s blog! Haha.

I believe it’s important to be generous with oneself, as well as to offer potential clients an opportunity to get a sense of what it would be like working with me. This is one way I am able to do this, and I receive as much back as I do in the giving! Thanks for reading and commenting, Pam!

My husband thinks it funny that I keep more than one set of keys. Don’t have time to look for the other set and it shows up when I’m doing something else.

I find that if I’m not getting much done it is because something is nagging at me that I keep putting off. When I dive in and just do that thing, it clears my mind and more gets down.

Great post!

I just completed a 5-week Marketing with Ease Think Tank with a local marketing strategist and it opened my eyes to a totally new way of thinking. Sometimes we are lost even when we don’t know we are and it takes that one AHA moment to turn the light bulb back on.

Great post Evelyn!
