Walking my own talk

By Chris Trout | May 11, 2008

When I coach folks about their strengths, one of the toughest stages comes when they begin to consider how they can incorporate this new awareness into the way they work. No barrier stands taller than their own assumptions about what is acceptable, how others will see them, what they can afford to do, what is possible, and what is acceptable. Me to. Today, I want to listen to my own coaching, walk my own talk.

My strengths lie in the world of writing, speaking, teaching, coaching and otherwise exploring and sharing transformative ideas in creative ways. What drains me is organizing, tracking and following up on all the details required to do this for a living. 

I'm betting that there are folks out there with inverse strengths and weaknesses who would love to barter with me to help each other meet our goals. It is my intention to discover and work with exactly those folks…

A Coach

Someone to help me to focus both my intentions and my activities. Someone who works with solopreneaurs and/or entrepreneurs, who understands the possibilities the new technology offers, and who shares my principles and values.

A "Virtual Assistant"

Think of an administrative assistant without an office. Someone to manage the details on both a project by project basis and for several ongoing tasks.

A Manager 

Conceivably instead of or combined with the virtual assistant, this is someone to manage the business end of my work, from speaking engagements to book development. 

If you have these strengths and would like to simply chat about the possibilities, with open eyes and no obligation, contact me. Who know what is possible!
