Sure, these principles "worked," at least much better than if I never used them. Often they worked very well, but sometimes the results I saw in my own life and in the lives of thousands of participants in my programs was inconsistent. Some goals seemed to take forever to come to fruition. Or some areas of life worked really well, while one or two particular areas didn't budge. What was up with that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, it seemed like certain Success Principles (Persistence, for example) could, over time, take a toll in terms of relationships, health, and balance or just over all well being. Even worse, the Principle itself could even become totally counter productive and become a catalyst for even more stress and struggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we have all experienced (or know people who have experienced) situations like being in a career or business you hated for years, battling that bathroom scale for what feels like eternity, or being in a relationship that brings with it more unease than real satisfaction. Not to mention areas such as health and money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there's the topic of the dreams and goals you have given up on or somehow forgotten along the way: that boutique you wanted to open, degree you wanted to get, book you wanted to write, relationship you wanted to find or maybe mend, charity you wanted to start, health you wanted to reclaim, internet business you could never quite get off the ground, special time you wanted to spend with that special person, or that trip you always wanted to take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there’s a whole deeper level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about the truly unique contribution that somewhere deep inside you know you are here to make? As children when we dared to use our imagination and dream big dreams we were often met with phrases like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don't get a big head!”&lt;br /&gt;“It's not nice to brag!”&lt;br /&gt;“You need to fit in!”&lt;br /&gt;“What will the neighbors think?”&lt;br /&gt;“Where did you get that bright idea?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout your life you may have been told (or told yourself) things like:&lt;br /&gt;You're too young.&lt;br /&gt;You're too old.&lt;br /&gt;You're not smart enough.&lt;br /&gt;You don't have the money.&lt;br /&gt;You don't have the education.&lt;br /&gt;You don't know the "right" people.&lt;br /&gt;You should've done that years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, what I’ve come to think as the worst one of all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ANYWAY?"&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, take a deep breath….. because that is the question I want to ask you now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously.....WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is that person…your Highest, Best, and Most Authentic Self that is waiting to be heard. That is the person wanting you to “Live the Life You Have Imagined” as Thoreau put it so beautifully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how exactly do you do that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter The Law of Attraction (LOA). I first heard this term over a decade ago, well before it was popularized by the movie, The Secret. Yet the authors who wrote about it often mentioned it only briefly in the vaguest of terms as if you were supposed to already know and understand all about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, over the past several years, I've discovered more and better information on this all important topic and have totally immersed myself in it. In fact, I am now a Certified Law of Attraction Life and Business Coach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The joke in my house is that it’s "All Law of Attraction...All the Time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joking aside, I believe the Law of Attraction, if truly understood and applied, is bar none, the most powerful, hopeful and possibility altering information I've found in my decades of learning and teaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So… what is the Law of Attraction (LOA)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The LOA states that I will attract into my life (and my business) whatever I give my attention, energy and focus to (now that sounds good so far....but here is the next part) whether positive or negative, wanted or unwanted. The LOA acts like a boomerang and brings back to us our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and words. As I began to really study and apply the LOA in my own life, I just knew I’d finally found the missing piece I had been searching for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, I want to share it with you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to save you the time, effort and yes, money (megabucks!) I've expended by bringing you the absolute best of both worlds. Because when you combine Classic Success Principles and The Law of Attraction, truly anything is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through my workshops, teleclasses and coaching, I can teach you and coach you how to become the person it takes to do what you want to do and have what you want to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We don't attract what we want. We attract who we are."&lt;br /&gt;~Dr. Wayne Dyer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of the daily struggle trying to "make things happen" you will learn to Align with, Allow and Attract your goals instead. This is where the synchronicities and serendipities show up. When the people, circumstances and events seem to line up with what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is when what the world calls "being at the right place at the right time" occurs and "luck" begin to happen. The result is that you will create your most extraordinary life of new possibilities, while, most importantly, enjoying the journey along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it time you were able to move past old doubts, fears, overwhelm, perfectionism and procrastination to have the new life and business possibilities of your dreams?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you ready to easily and gracefully make the shift? If you don't want to spend another day, week, year or decade wondering what you need to know and do to move your life and your business to a higher and better place with less stress and struggle and more ease and joy, then schedule a complimentary Success Attraction Checkup (tm).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can email me at &lt;a href="mailto:ldspeaking@aol.com"&gt;ldspeaking@aol.com&lt;/a&gt; or please call 212-679-2534.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to helping you create the next great chapter of your most deeply desired business and life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With warmest wishes,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1533764503166756779-4145321483988617960?l=www.lindadecarlo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.lindadecarlo.com/2009/02/welcome.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Linda DeCarlo)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2J7hRv_rJlI/SZTRO9Wk-vI/AAAAAAAAAAc/-ZBGSjuQNfI/s72-c/lindaDeCarlo_blue_thumbnail.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533764503166756779.post-1697926256535238128</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-07T11:31:01.159-07:00</atom:updated><title>ONE ON ONE TRAINING/COACHING</title><description>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW TO GET INTO ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR MOST INSPIRING GOALS AND CREATE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever wonder why some people achieve outstanding success while others encounter so much strain and struggle?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve wondered about this question since I was a kid and because of my true desire for answers I have studied Universal Success Principles for over 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned that creating the life of your dreams is not about your age, education, talent, ability, luck or even genius.  It is about a few simple, but critical concepts that very few people understand and even fewer really use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as I’m sure you’ve come to realize, it’s not what you “know” intellectually, but what you really apply and take action on consistently that makes all the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By combining Timeless Success Principles with Cutting Edge Law of Attraction Tools, I will both teach you and coach you how to become the person it takes to do what you want to do and have what you want to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will then begin to attract your goals rather than remain in a daily struggle to attain your goals.  The result is that you will create your most Extraordinary Life while, most importantly, enjoying the journey along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, my One on One Training/Coaching Program will help you assess where you are now in all areas of life.  The first step to Goal Attraction is to accept without judgment where you are now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, we will create a Supportive Space to put forth Empowering Dreams.  From there you will build a Foundation from which your Ideal Life will emerge.  You will achieve Clarity of Purpose, Intention and Alignment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will then learn to take Inspired Action in an easy and manageable way.  You will identify and release limiting beliefs and replace them with creative beliefs that inspire you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will learn skills, tools and techniques that will become part of your daily “practice” enabling you to stay on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gremlins like fear, doubt, indecision and procrastination will start to take a back seat. Instead of seeing them as “negative”, you will learn to use the information they give you to get further clarity and inspiration about what you want to create in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you progress, you will begin to lighten up and have fun while learning to trust more and do less.  You will stop forcing the world’s blueprint for success and free yourself up to be who you really are. You will then be in alignment to powerfully attract a Personal Success authentically your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you will learn specific “lessons” at each session, each program is specifically tailored to each client.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can assist you if you are clear about your goal(s) but want support, direction, motivation and accountability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also work with people who are “starting out” or those who are “starting over” and need to begin by clarifying their desires, values and goals.  We can focus on one main goal or 2 or 3 life areas.  Together, we become a powerful co-creative team dedicated to your highest life vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the list below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From our One on One Training and Coaching sessions you will:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Gain clarity about what meaningful success is to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Know who you really want to be, what you really want to do and have, and how you want to feel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Learn to begin choosing more positive feelings, even if your circumstances have not yet changed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Get in touch with your intrinsic worth as a person and dramatically raise your self-esteem&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Bring your energy into alignment around your goals (beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, actions and habits working together)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Identify and clear blocks that are holding you back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Learn to commit, persist and then allow and let go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Align with your sense of deepest mission, purpose and contribution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Move past overwhelm, overwork, over commitment and discouragement&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Become more congruent, authentic, powerful and confident&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Create a prioritized, systematic plan to achieve your most important results&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Use the “Intuition Shortcut” to get ideas and create solutions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Create simple, yet powerful daily practices to support your progress&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Use the Law of Attraction to attract the ideal people, opportunities and events to support you further&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Create a Joyful Journey to the life you’ve imagined&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Inspire others and make a positive difference in your work, home, community and the world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;          &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;To schedule a complimentary &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Success Attraction Checkup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;

A talented trainer with thought provoking information, Linda speaks to people’s hearts as well as their heads.   Each presentation provides an easy to follow roadmap complete with proven principles, insightful exercises, real world examples, solutions and strategies.   Step by step, Linda draws her participants into a journey of self-growth, always presented with humor, hope and heart.   Linda doesn’t simply lecture, she engages her audiences to become active participants in their own learning.  Should some people be feeling disheartened by life’s challenges, Linda can relate to them with compassion, resilience, and optimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enthusiastic participants describe Linda’s training style as a blend of practical information, profound insights and warm humor.  She is particularly known for illustrating key points with original, engaging stories and examples. Comments from past participants echo the following sentiments:  “encouraging,  honest, committed, interested and interesting, a wealth of knowledge, really rooting for each of us, down to earth, personable, really believes what she teaches, supportive, real, delightful personality, the most sincere, easy to understand and effective speaker I have ever heard, Linda cares….”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Linda’s Programs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of Linda’s programs is a well thought out blend of profound, yet easy to understand principles, practical how to’s and real world application.  Participants always start the program learning where they are and leave knowing where they want to go. To insure the “take home value” of her programs, Linda has each participant create their own customized Action Plan.  This plan details what each participant will start doing, stop doing and keep doing as a result of the program, and encourages them to create a list of resources that will support them in their goals.  Participants agree they leave informed, energized and inspired to make significant improvements in their life and work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to each program, Linda asks a series of questions that will help her customize the content so that it will be of most value to the audience.  Here are some of the questions Linda uses when creating a program:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What qualities separate your highest performing people from the others?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is there an issue or concern on the minds of the audience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What would you like the audience to be thinking when they leave the program?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Programs Include: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Real Life Strategies for Successful Daily Living &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True success is not about your age, education, talent, ability, luck or even genius.  It is about a few simple, but critical concepts that few people understand and even fewer really use.  Learn these proven strategies for uncommon personal and professional success and leave the program ready to apply them consistently and persistently to your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Stress Solutions for Busy People/Busy Women &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When life demands more of you than you can give, you are in real danger of physical, mental, and emotional burnout.  Learn to break the stress cycle.  Work your way up the emotional scale so you are open to new ways of looking at situations and can see solutions.  Include stress reduction habits into your daily routine and see the difference they can make immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Attracting Your Own Success: How To Get Into Alignment With Your Goals and Live An Extraordinary Life &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you struggling way too hard to achieve your goals?  What if instead of forcing your goals, you could attract your goals?  Learn how to combine Timeless Success Principles with Cutting Edge Law of Attraction Strategies in order to become the person it takes to do what you want to do and have what you want to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending upon your needs, each program can be formatted into a short presentation (45 minutes to 1:30), a Half Day (3 hours), or a Full Day (5 hours) workshop or seminar.  Each program is appropriate in the following situations: in-house corporate training, concurrent conference session, women’s program or for a retreat.  Although Linda has spoken for years to mixed audiences, Linda’s women only audiences have always told her they appreciate her “kinder and gentler” approach to success.  After hearing Linda’s own challenges, they leave the program thinking “if Linda can do it, so can I.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;To discuss your program's needs, please e-mail Linda at ldspeaking@aol.com or call (212) 679-2534&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1533764503166756779-5709343688098941348?l=www.lindadecarlo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.lindadecarlo.com/2009/02/welcome_06.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Linda DeCarlo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533764503166756779.post-1683913995518346224</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-12T07:49:49.232-07:00</atom:updated><title>PARTIAL CLIENT LIST</title><description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;AT&amp;amp;T&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advantis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Bank of Montreal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bethlehem Steel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blessing/White Inc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blue Cross/Blue Shield of NY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Board of Education of the City of New York&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Canyon Ranch (AZ)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;CareerTrack Seminars&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ciba Consumer Pharmaceuticals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ciba Geigy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The City of Windsor (Ontario)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Colgate University&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cornell University&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The  Department of the Army&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The  Department of the Navy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The  Department of Veteran’s Affairs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Digital Equipment Corporation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dupont Merck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoffman La Roche&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;J.P.

 &lt;/span&gt;In just 4 short months, I learned to set clear intentions for the things I truly wanted and to be relaxed about them.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I am now enjoying a greatly improved financial situation, in fact my income increased by 250% percent!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In addition, I created a well received new product, received several orders from the Museum of Modern Art for one of my more unique products and was even able to afford to hire help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Hiring help has given me more time for the more creative aspects of my business and more time for myself.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I started a home de-cluttering project, began redecorating, joined a Runner’s Club and am socializing and just enjoying my life so much more.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When challenges come up I am able to use the principles I’ve now learned to handle them with confidence and grace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Linda taught me to celebrate my little daily accomplishments, which feels great, and has created a ripple effect of good things in all areas of my life.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In fact, I feel so abundant in my life and my business I have just booked a long postponed vacation.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I leave for Amsterdam and Paris in just 3 weeks!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am so grateful to Linda for giving me the tools to create my ideal life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;-Diana Rogers, Wonderthreads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Before working with Linda DeCarlo, I felt overwhelmed in my business.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;My To Do list seemed to be growing by the day and I really didn’t know what to focus on to help my business grow.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I was flitting from one thing to another and never feeling like I was accomplishing much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;After working with Linda for only one month I now have clear sense of direction.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She helped me make a huge shift in perception from working “in” my business to working “on” my business.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I now know exactly what I need to be doing, in what order, and I’m completing my tasks with much more focus and ease than I ever had before.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Because of this shift, I have also hired the help I need to free me from spending time on energy sapping tasks to those tasks that will help me reach my business goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;It’s been less than a month since working with Linda, but my business is now growing at a faster pace than it was in the previous 12 months.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plus, I’m not just attracting more clients; I’m attracting more of the kind of clients I want to work with.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Rather than feeling overwhelmed every day, I feel joy and newfound excitement with my business.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I would recommend Linda DeCarlo to anyone who wants to clarify their goals, grow their business and have fun while doing it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;-Diane O’Connell, Editorial Director, Write To Sell Your Book, LLC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;When I went into my consult with Linda, I was unfocused, and my brain felt scrambled.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Linda helped me to see my goals by walking me through some amazing exercises.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It put everything in focus, and I finally was able to see the sunshine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The consult was only one hour and it made the world of difference.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I left with lessons I knew I could apply to my life should I ever go back to feeling the lack of direction I felt before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I highly recommend Linda to anyone who would like to get a clear focus and sense of direction quickly and easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Linda has made a huge difference in my life and my business.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I went to her with my most challenging goal.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Together we pinpointed a few areas to focus on, and after committing to one area and taking the steps she suggested, I had a breakthrough.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Because of Linda, I discovered what my business needed in order to grow.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This has resulted in an expansion of my services, meeting more client needs and most importantly providing quality client attention.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;“My consultation with Linda was AMAZING; my focus has shifted from negativity to inspiration and gratitude.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I feel joyful and giddy knowing that I am taking steps towards my most challenging goal.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Thank you for your insights and encouragement, I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;In just one session with Linda DeCarlo, I felt more positive about my prospects for growing my business.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Linda helped steer my thinking toward viewing my search for clients as a process.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Rather than saying, “I have no clients” I started to say “I am in the process of finding new clients.”&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Simple?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It made all the difference in the world as to how I viewed my situation.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I now have three clients!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She also helped me change my focus from concern re: my abilities, to remembering just how good I am at what I do, how long I’ve done it, and all the accolades and successes I’ve had.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So, thank you Linda!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;-Karen Gaynin, Gaynin Public Relations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;For many years, I felt overwhelmed by stress and life and found myself at the bottom of a well.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The coaching was very helpful to me - it gave me insight into my own self perpetuating behaviors and introduced me to a new perspective of myself.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It’s allowing me to be open to new ideas about myself as well as others.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have already begun to challenge my beliefs and my thoughts and am constantly making an effort to inspire the positive in myself – which will naturally lead to fostering it in others!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Your professionalism and empathy vs. sympathy is a winning combination and allows for a nurturing and supportive environment to explore the foundations that I have built in my life and assumptions on; your calm, purposeful, loving guidance makes it easy to see what is bringing positivity into my life, what is not working, and how to start to change!!!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The inspiration to set goals that are built on my dreams and a practical means to assess those dreams and attain those goals has been illuminating for me, and given me the sparkle of hope that I needed to get out of my rut and take things forward in my life.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Thanks for everything and much continued success to you!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;I reached out to Linda for guidance and support because of our very successful work together with her as my coach.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Within a matter of days, Linda had designed a customized retreat to help me develop a bulletproof presentation.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Not sure what to expect from the retreat, the session equipped me with the structure, framework and approach to formulate a very thorough and captivating presentation.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Linda helped me think through the sequence of material and offered numerous invaluable suggestions to refine my presentation that covers all the vital components of an effective, persuasive, and informative talk.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The information in the presentation can also be repurposed in the form of a blog, book, podcast, article, etc.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Linda’s guidance on delivery, from the opening to the closing, gave me the confidence to calmly deliver a power and engaging presentation to an audience full of bright MBA students.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The comments on the evaluations were overwhelmingly positive, with the instructor rating being a perfect score.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As a result of the successful event, I’ve been invited back to speak again to a larger group in the fall.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Thanks Linda, I don’t know how I would have done this without you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;-David A.
