					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other night working in the Emergency Department I was dog tired as I picked up a chart of a patient to see.  After I obtained the pertinent medical information from this patient, I then asked my 94 year old patient, &#8220;Where were you during world war 2?&#8221;</p>
<p>He proceeded to share a little known story about his time working with General Patton.  The patient told me that even his own grandkids don&#8217;t ask nor seem interested in his life experiences.  It was an interesting and amazing patient interaction.  I left that conversation so energized that the last 2 hours of my shift flew by.</p>
<p>Reflecting on this event, reminds me of the power of our ability to choose what perspective we will be in and what powerful question we can ask of ourselves and others.  Perspective: It is amazing to me how quickly I can shift from &#8216;dog tired&#8217; perspective to &#8216;wow what an incredible patient and story&#8217; perspective&#8211;shifting from falling asleep to being fully awake&#8211;better than any cup of caffeine!  Question: It is fun and shocking the power of a question to shift our thoughts and energy levels.  I recently asked at a dinner party: What do you crave?  This one question made for a deep and meaningful and laughter filled discussion.</p>
<p>What is the question that you could ask at work and at home that would energize or change your day for the better?</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: -20px;"><strong>WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST?</strong></h1>
<p><strong>Increased Success:</strong> Time and time again, coaching has proven results.  People who hire a coach are more successful including improved individual performance as well as increasing profitability.

<p><strong>Increased Results:</strong>  The results of coaching as stated by 100 executives of Fortune 1000 companies are as follows: over <strong>70% increase</strong> in working relationships with direct reports &amp; peers, over <strong>60% increase</strong> in job satisfaction, over <strong>65% increase</strong> in teamwork.</p>
<hr />
<h2></h2>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE CHALLENGES</span> (direct statements from business &amp; healthcare executives and leaders)</h2>
<p><strong>&#8211; Are you struggling to keep your focus on a clearly defined goal?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Do you feel constantly pulled in too many directions?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Running out of ideas to motivate people to accomplish the tasks at hand?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Stressed about meeting demands &amp; deadlines?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Fearful of making a big mistake? Worried about a &#8220;black swan&#8221; (an extraordinary catastrophic event)?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Wondering if you are using all of your talents to their full potential?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Feeling that your life is spinning out of control?<br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong>Are you running on empty close to the brink of overwhelm?</strong><br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong><strong>Mind-numbing meetings, emails, and to do lists causing you to lose sight of what’s important?<br />
<strong>&#8211; </strong>Are you missing something?</strong></p>
<hr />
<h1></h1>
<h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE SOLUTION</span></h1>
<p><strong>“Coaching with Drew has transformed my life at work and at home. The R.O.I. (return of investment) in working with Drew has been well over ten-fold. The decisions that I now choose to make have garnered tens of thousands of dollars for my company.”</strong></p>
<h2>Overcoming Fears, Black Swans, and other barriers:</h2>
<p><strong>“Since working with Drew, I have become aware of the limiting beliefs that drain my ability to focus and achieve, and how to overcome them.”</strong></p>
<h2>Simplifying, slowing down, taking it all in:</h2>
<p><strong>“Drew’s coaching has enabled me to be more productive and efficient while pausing to capture and enjoy every moment.”</strong></p>
<hr />
<h1></h1>
<h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE COACH</span></h1>
<p>As your professional executive coach, I will help you grow and improve your performance &amp; productivity, reduce or eliminate your blind spots, reduce the likelihood of failure, and premature burnout.</p>

<p>Top athletes in the world, icons of industry, leading CEOs, and even Barack Obama, have coaches.  Shouldn’t you?</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WHAT THE ICONS OF INDUSTRY ARE SAYING ABOUT COACHING</strong></span></h2>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;have a coach&#8230;Once I realized I could trust [my coach] and that he could help me with perspective, I decided this was a great idea&#8230;”-Eric Schmidt, Chairman &amp; CEO of Google</p>
<p>“At the end of the day, people who are high achievers&#8211;who want to continue to learn and grow and be effective&#8211;need coaching.”-Steve Bennett, former CEO of Intuit</p>
<p>“Great CEOs, like great athletes, benefit from coaches that bring a perspective that comes from&#8230;knowing [you], the company and what [you] need to do as a CEO to successfully drive the company forward, every CEO can benefit from strong, assertive and honest coaching.”-William R. Johnson, CEO of H.J. Heinz Company</p>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wife returned the other day from a Beth Moore Bible study group. They listened as Beth Moore told them of her interview results.  Beth had interviewed 400 women and asked them what are the top things that they struggled with in their lives.</p>
<p>As told by my wife, they were:</p>
<p>#1. submission.  Now when I said, &#8220;REALLY?!&#8221; My wife clarified that women struggle with not having control over their lives and having to give up control over certain things at work, parenting kids, and in marriage.  So I said, &#8220;They struggle with the same thing that men do: PRIDE.&#8221;  We ALL struggle with the fact that we LOVE control but really have very little of it, and we all LOVE ourselves and think mostly of ourselves.  Call it a struggle with submission to authority, submission to others or lack of control, but it boils down to pride.  We want to be large and in charge.</p>
<p>#2. balance.  This again could or should be on the men&#8217;s list as well.  We all struggle with balance.  Finding the time for what is truly important (which often is at the bottom of our to do lists): Wife, Kids, &amp; Relationships.  Relationships are HARD work to maintain and to do right.  It is often times much easier to just go to work or tune out checking email etc. than to do the work necessary to have a deep, abiding relationship with your wife and kids.  Not to mention the struggle that most men have trying to develop truly meaningful relationships with other men.</p>
<p>#3. hormones.  This one my wife and I had a GREAT laugh about, but the really sad truth is that men are clueless with their OWN hormones! Yes we have hormones too.  They produce anger, jealousy, frustration, lust, etc.  I have been told that the &#8216;window to reality is through our emotions&#8217;.  We would be much better friends, husbands, etc. if we would embrace our emotions and learn to process them better rather than trying to stuff them down and then using a pop off valve to unleash the pressure&#8211;which often looks very ugly.  AND, of course, being more in tune with our wives emotions and hormones.</p>
<p>An interview of 32 Southern California women in my wife&#8217;s group came up with a different list but equally important for us to consider change :</p>
<p>#1. High Expectations: <a id="aptureLink_PJtPSXgb6Q" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/14/60minutes/main3833797.shtml">Denmark is the happiest place on earth.</a> When researchers went to find out why, they found that it was because they had low expectations.  Our wealth and materialism has driven us to covet and always believe that the &#8220;grass is always greener&#8221; when we should be focused on watering our own lawns and counting our many blessings</p>
<p>#2. Beauty/body image:  Again interesting and sad.  Our obsession with the perfect figures has driven women mad trying to augment everything.</p>
<p>#3. Hormones</p>
