In celebration of an amazing sale on my book "Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job," I'm gifting you the audio of one of my favorite chapters: Listen to the Whispers. Details below. **** So Reader, during a cleaning frenzy a few years ago, I stumbled across the folder marked "Planning for the Future." ๐ฎ Intrigued, I opened it and found a worksheet from some long-forgotten adult ed class. It was filled out in my own chicken-scratch handwriting, and said: "I want to make a difference through people--coach professionals through changes, speak to groups all over, and write articles and maybe books regularly." Reading that, I smiled. Yup, that's me. It's exactly what I set out to do when I started my business. But then--something caught my eye. The date. In the upper right corner of the sheet, I'd scribbled the date: September 2000. But here's the truth. I didn't even start THINKING about making real change until spring 2007, when I hired my first coach and later took a coaching course. And didn't start my coaching business until December 2008. That's about seven years of my life where I knew what I wanted to do--but didn't do anything about it. I don't have many regrets in life, but that's one. Clearly, I heard the whisper--the whisper that told me what I wanted to do. And just as clearly, I tuned it out, shoving even the physical, written-down evidence to the back of the closet. I see this happening all the time, Reader. Maybe you can relate for yourself or someone you love. That's why when I was writing "Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job," I knew that one of the most important chapters would be "Listen to the Whispers." This message is resonating with so many right now, and so, since you're a loyal reader, I want you to have this chapter for free.
Plus, both Kindle and paperback are currently 90% off regular retail prices on Amazon as part of a special spring event. If you love this chapter, I hope you'll get the complete work for yourself or a friend. ๐ฏโโ๏ธ How about you, Reader? When have you listened to the whispers?

I know one thing--your whispers matter. Don't discount them, and don't ignore them. Hopefully, this gift audio chapter will help you free them into the world, because you matter and we need you in our world of work. Keep soaring! P.S. I get it--it's not so easy to listen to the whispers right now. We're faced with a noisy world and an even noisier brain. Investing in professional coaching helps you clarify the whispers and build confidence and action --the only way to make those ideas and wants real. If you or someone you love is ready to get to the heart of their whispers, schedule a coaching consultation here or simply hit REPLY and let's connect. I'd love to talk to you. --D |
