Enjoy Success from the Inside/Out

“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed.” ― Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I hope you enjoyed summer and got to do some things that made your heart sing. Personally I love summer and specifically I love summer vacations. For me the summer season overall brings happy childhood memories of me spending lots of quality time with my family, visiting my grandma and uncles in a village surrounded by tall trees and small fields and streams, eating corn on the cob, cherry picking and other farm fresh and homemade foods. My memories also include a lot of play time and just enjoying being there….in the moment not worrying about anything. It has been my deepest desire to always enjoy living in the here and now. This desire of living in the present, enjoying my task at hand didn’t always come natural for me, but I find ways to align myself and remind myself of what’s most important to me. I really love living my l...

What are your Productivity Enemies? By, Career Coach Kathy Shabotynskyj and Life/Business Coach Nafije Prishtina I know that you know what you want to do, you have stated your goals in writing using the SMART format, and you’re making good progress accomplishing that which you set your mind to doing. You're so good, you check that box completed. YAY you say with a smile. You also know that you're able to do more great things based on your past accomplishments. You're living the life you want, and you’re saying to yourself “Wow, I'm so awesome, I'm unstoppable, I'm a true shining star!” The above statement is true and I have experienced it many many times. I also have witnessed my clients sharing their successful experiences just like the above statement. That feeling is extraordinary so it is natural, it increases our dopamine and I believe it is almost contagious. Then sometimes, something happens.  The day starts out right, we list the “to do’s”...

Career Coach Kathy Shabotynskyj and Life & Business Coach Nafije Prishtina  By chance, a Life Coach from Melbourne was introduced to a Career Coach from Palm City, two east coast  Florida communities separated by 75 miles.  Excitement surrounded our initial face to face meeting with a  serious intention to build a Mastermind Group of like-minded professionals. Female, entrepreneurs who engage in helping people created our common bond. Fast forward to now, two months hence, and the Mastermind Group did not successfully get off the ground.   As the group’s two last standing, we decided to co-coach one another – a mini-mastermind group. It is working out extraordinarily well.  We have a budding friendship and a commitment to help one another. We’re each coaching a coach and being coached by a coach. The one solid objective of our engagement is to help support  the direction and growth of our fellow coach. What did you do to get...
