DRIVEN Newsletter Nov 2, 2021
Clear-Minded, Focused and Fulfilled!
In acknowledging that October is a “long month”, sporting 31 days, it seems that October 2021 was exceptionally lengthy. The part of me that’s motivated to pounce on kayaking opportunities, warm nights, and outdoor socializing was fulfilled during this transition month. Was it the same for you?
From a DRIVEN perspective, clients have been finding their “values adventures” thought-provoking and meaningful. This comprehensive rankings assessment is accompanied by a 3-session coaching package to thoughtfully explore their values in different dimensions. I get to witness these motivated professionals recognize their power as their personal values evolve over time.
One client expressed relief upon realizing that at any given moment, there are about 5 to 10 prioritized values for the decisions and choices he makes. Point of Value liberates people to change their minds. And when I say people, I mean ME, too. In this month’s DRIVEN blog article, I shared my inner battle upon realizing that I’d changed my mind, after being adamant about NOT doing something. My takeaway is, “Never say never!”
Looking ahead, I’m THRILLED to continue partnering with coaches for both DRIVEN engagements and others’ projects. Working with like-minded people from diverse backgrounds and coaching approaches has fed my curiosity, creativity and energy.
Speaking of energy, I want to make you an offer to set yourself up for success in 2022.
First, I’m curious to learn:
• Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, frustrated with the pace at which you’re working?
• Do you want to spend more time doing what fulfills you?
• Do you find yourself saying each year that THIS is the year you’re going to get organized, adopt healthy practices and habits, and live your best life?
This coming January I’ll be hosting four 1-hour OfficeHours sessions for those (past and present) who have invested in DRIVEN’s online program, accurately titled Intentional Productivity: 12 Principles to Design a Life of Clarity, Focus and Fulfillment. During these live virtual sessions, we’ll investigate nuance, insights and antidotes for best leveraging your own Intentional Productivity. It will prove empowering to realize that you truly do have the ability and tools to design the life you want to live.
Concerned about scheduling? Don’t sweat. These sessions will be recorded for you to review at your leisure.
Purchase the e-course for yourself HERE, or invest in a loved one’s success and secure a copy as a gift HERE. And if IP:12 somehow doesn’t resonate with you now, feel free to change your mind as you consider the three questions I posed above.
I’ll look forward to seeing some of you at OfficeHours in January. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Cheers!

Invest In Values Coaching.
Did you realize that you have foundational, focus and vision values? We didn’t either, until DRIVEN founder Deborah Goldstein became certified in Point of Value. Values are not visible, but they affect our daily decisions and activities. Whether you’re a values-driven founder of an organization, a participant in the Great Resignation, or someone who wants to make better decisions and clearly delineate your boundaries, Values Coaching could be for you. Take a look at this values protocol and then consider investing in yourself! It also makes a great holiday gift!
