As many of you know, I worked for Comerica for twenty two years and just started my own business in coaching and reflexology the last couple of years. Much to my surprise and pleasure, Comerica’s Treasury Management department recently contacted me and asked me to join them at a vendor fair for the Association of Financial Professionals in Vegas last month. It was a new and interesting experience.
I
had an opportunity to talk with lots of attendees over the three days.
People completed the Wheel of Life
and then determined which aspect of their life they would like to focus
on for the next few minutes. It was very interesting to see what people
are willing to commit to in just a few minutes in order to have more satisfaction
in their lives. Accountability is also very key to the coaching process,
so I tried to build in some level of accountability (ie: asking spouse
for feedback, send me an e-mail to let me know how they’re doing
with the commitment, having the person with them agree to follow-up with
them.
I also had Powerful Questions typed up and placed in a bowl. At the end
of each coaching session, I asked the individual to pick a question from
the bowl and see if it was relevant to our conversation. I was amazed
and impressed that every single one was relevant. Even though the questions
were rather generic, I believe there is something to the “law of
attraction”. People were drawn to each question they selected for
a reason.
Some of the questions may even resonate for you:
- Who should you be hanging out with so that achieving your goal becomes natural?
- For your life to be perfect, what would have to change?
- What could we work on right now that would make the biggest difference in your life?
- What would you like most to be acknowledged for your life?
- What are three actions you could make that would make sense this week?
- In the bigger scheme of things, how important is this?
- What do you plan to do about it?
- How will you know when you have reached your goal?
- What are you tolerating/putting up with?
- What is your favorite way of sabotaging yourself and your goals?
- What is your game plan?
This is probably a long story to explain this

I wanted to thank Comerica Bank for the
opportunity.

Sports Spouses - The Challenge of Being a Coach's Wife
Being a coach’s wife takes a special person. You automatically become the CEO of your household and family. You are the “glue” that holds it all together. When it’s time to move, you make all the arrangements. When it comes to dealing with the kids issues at school, you deal with the teachers. When it comes to soothing your spouse’s bruised ego after a loss, you’re the one who’s there for them.
When recently working with a group of coaches’ wives and asking the top three to five challenges of being a coach’s wife, the number one reason was loneliness followed by work/life balance, limited family time, lack of communication and dealing with change. Sound familiar?
Being a coach’s wife may be fulfilling enough for some women, but not for others. That certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t love their husbands or that they’re not supportive. It may just mean that they also need to be fulfilled as a person themselves. By working with a coach, women would have an opportunity to find out what it is that fulfills them. In addition, they can share experiences and build camaraderie.
Coaching is an opportunity for the wives to identify their own goals and issues, develop a plan for obtaining them and be held accountable.
