Initially, a baby learns primary CVC words, or phrases comprised of the fundamental consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, like cat and canine. Before you implement the IEP, you should have a conference with the scholar's mother and father, counselors, different lecturers and school directors to ensure that everyone seems to be on board with the schooling plan. Keeping parents informed as to the degrees their little one is functioning on, how they're progressing on objectives and aims on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a crucial part of our jobs as lecturers and of great concern to folks of the kids we work with.
For students who nonetheless need reinforcement with their letter sound expertise, this can be a nice material to incorporate in your set. We did tackle this topic in a little bit element in my graduate program where most college students had been at present educating particular schooling.

The iPad has also infiltrated the world of particular training by creating a multitude of apps which are specialised for various disabilities. If you are nonetheless searching for a job, maybe an schooling place outside of the classroom is a better fit.
Still, there are others that reward it as a viable program that may put together college students for the transition toward basic training. Concentrate on a selected inability if you end up successful your diploma – there is a vast assortment of disabilities to concentrate on so you must do some exploration and select which one that you could consider and work with as a Special Education teacher.

All states require special schooling lecturers to possess a bachelor's diploma in education, math, or a science-associated field previous to obtaining a job. For two summers in a row myself a general ed instructor and two directors on employees had been required to attend coaching on inclusion, with special classes on modifying for math. Assessing the learning types of scholars early on and using them scale back the variety of particular education referrals.

This class was something different that will stick with us. Fofi is so nice and walks you through everything. Rather than just go through the motions, she genuinely seems to care if everyone is having a good time. The food was incredible and we made way more than the 12 of us could eat. This is an absolute must and well worth the money.

Gods and myths walking tour. Loved this tour. We learned so much and our teenage boys really enjoyed it. They are 15yo. We got to see parts of Athens we would never have discovered on our own. I love walking tours. Such a great way to get to know the city.
donnaparker2463 | 13.07.2018 | Athens Food Tour
Wonderful Acropolis Evening Tour! Climbing the Acropolis was the highlight of our trip to Athens. Our guide was a wealth of information. He was engaging, scholarly, and fun! A perfect trifecta for any tour!The Acropolis is truly awe inspiring. Thank you!
LizabethRose | 01.08.2018 | Afternoon Acropolis Museum and Acropolis Tour
Our teenage daughter had requested a Greek cooking class during our stay in Athens and it was a great experience.Small group of 16 guests and very hands on. Fofi, the instructor, was engaging and taught us how to make the specific dishes on the menu, but also gave us tips and insights into Greek cuisine, ingredients, culture.
Jodi H | 30.06.2018 | Greek Small-Group Cooking Class in an Athens Tavern
Celebrating 21!!Our guide was so generous with his depth of knowledge and passion for Greece! He invited us to be part of history! We loved it!!!
Jane O | 29.06.2018 | Private Walking Tour: The Acropolis
We had a great guide and we enjoyed his insights and knowledge. It was great to see Athens' sights in a small group. The tour goes for 5 hours so it's a relatively long time, but it is at a casual pace. Would recommend this tour! Very good if you want to see the sights and get an idea of the historical importance of each area.

The ideal summer day calls for a boho-print bikini, a zesty cocktail and a pool to dip your toes into when the heat wave hits.
For sartorial style points, add the AUDRINA WATCH to your lounging look. With its cool, clear strap and gold-tone accents it's the very definition of poolside panache.
Play up the watch's white dial and team it with a bikini in fresh white and blue. Add a pair of shorts in the same tie-dye print and metallic jelly sandals for extra shine. Throw a light beach read into your bag and have yourself a perfect Sunday.
The Audrina watch is an easy way to elevate laid-back beach looks. Stacked with a two-tone bracelet in white and gold shades, it's the eye-catching extra that'll reflect the sunrays for a stunning effect.

Client review – "The definition of a 'Shopify Expert'.
Pleased and satisfied would be an understatement. Mark and his team are friendly, punctual, and overall very talented. They know what they're doing. They always met deadlines and answered the phone when I needed something done rather urgently. They stopped what they were doing, went right to my site, and addressed the issue.
Bravo. Job well done. Have already started another project with them!"

I just cant find a way into the dark wing... where on the roof? which roof? on top of the tower where you get the wand?
I just cant find a way into the dark wing... where on the roof? which roof? on top of the tower where you get the wand?
Orfeus21 Go up to the roof just north of the tower. If you are standing just north of the tower, go north a short distance and you will see a staircase on your right that leads down to the door to the dark wing.
The wand had no effect on the monster although I really wanted to destroy it. The good thing is that it can't detect you if you keep still in the dark. Found the red haired girl and led her out of that place the same way i got in by using the lantern to have her follow me but turned it off when I heard the monster. Overall a good mission but that thing with the paintings, mirrors, statues and books took a long time to figure out since there were no clues to how they were supposed to be used.
The clue is, that you look in the lower rooms. If you do that, you see which items that shall be placed.
I'm really loving the atmosphere and music in this fm. I got all the statues, the shell mirror, blue and red books and 3 paintings.
Nearly 3 hours into the fm. Can you pls tell me where I can find the missing items? thank you!
Thank you Beltzer! which lower rooms? I didn't find any basement
sorry should have seen the german video before... i didnt know it was on! its so silly of me
Fun mission, loved the candles left behind cuz who wants to haul that stuff around. Took me longer than it should have for the puzzle, searching for the 3rd painting that I never found but had the correct one already.
Results = Time: 2hrs 31min Loot: 5557/6037 4/4 Pockets Picked Secrets 2/2
Was this castle inspired by (unfortunatly demolished) Chateau Miranda?
Nice touch on leaving the candles behind when stealing the candle holder.... just thought I should mention such a minor but realism adding detail... thanks.
I am short on loot goal, any hints to some hard to find loot would be helpful.
I'm absolutely stuck
Do I have everything to solve the puzzle?
- Mirror: empty, M, with crack, shell
- red book
- dark painting
- Statue: right hand, yellow, white
maybe I miss the gray statue, but I can not find it ...
Last edited by nickie; 3rd Dec 2019 at 14:02. Reason: Added spoiler cover
Look more closely in the children's room for the statue.
thanks, that was not easy to find. Have solved the rest, was not so difficult, if you save the game again and again ;-)

I have been anxious all day. I had to clean my house to keep my mind occupied. I seriously can not wait to see my little baby. It has been 8 weeks since I have had an ultrasound. I am anxious to know if he/she is healthy and of course if it is a HE or a SHE!!!!! I can't believe it is tomorrow. AHHHHHH
Brendan's has an enlarged aorta. Also known as a dilated aorta. I am doing a little better today about it. I know I really can't worry daily for a whole year to see what next year's echo will tell me. I know they don't do surgery until the hole is a certain size. I know he at the moment his heart is pumping well. I just have to focus on all of that and the new addition in our lives. I can't constantly fear what his future holds. I need to take it day by day like I always try and do.
If you want to know more here is a link: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-enlarged-aorta.htm
I can't keep dwelling on it so I am trying to put it out of my mind until next April. Maybe his angels up in heaven can hear some prayers and heal his heart.

Thanks for all the great reviews Louie. Usually agreed with you if I'd been to the place. The review of Maverick's was pretty loony though.
I will miss Louie the Loon very much! Great feature, hate to see it go. Thanks, David!
Godspeed, Louie!
Aww, I will miss Louie! My favorite review was Satellite's Country Inn in Schroeder, MN. Or Sosa's. Thanks for introducing us to some great food!
Bummer – I always looked forward to Louie. I'll miss it. Thanks!
So long Louie, I really enjoyed reading your reviews.

The Hush Post: One of the most entertaining cricketers Dwayne Bravo of West Indies who also plays for Chennai Super Kings enthralled children of Indian cricketers – especially Suresh Raina's daughter Gracia and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's daughter Ziva.
Ahead of a clash between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils, Bravo sang the 'Champions' song and made Gracia and Ziva dance with a host of other children present.
Bravo is quite a name in the cricketing circles, especially in India. His famous song 'Champions' released in March 2016, has become a victory anthem for many teams, especially in IPL and other cricket tournaments. Not just teams, children too love to groove to the track.
Chennai Super Kings uploaded the video and wrote: "Cutest visuals for 'Champion' you'll ever see! #whistlepodu @DJBravo47 #Gracia #Ziva."
His girlfriend is Regina Ramjit who was once Miss Barbados. Ranjit is of partial Indian origin.

Steward retiring as Wood River police chief; Wells to be sworn in March 5
Wells named new chief, will be sworn in March 5
WOOD RIVER — Otis Steward first strapped on his gun and other police gear as a patrol officer with the East Alton Police Department in 1985, and since then he said things have changed "dramatically."
The next dramatic change will be of his own doing — on March 2, Steward will retire as chief of the Wood River Police Department.
Officer Brad Wells, who recently rejoined the Wood River department after spending most of his law enforcement career with the Madison County Sheriff's Office, has been named as his replacement. Dan Bunt will remain as deputy chief.
Steward, 55, joined Wood River in February 1988, and was appointed chief in August 2011.
"It's been a real learning experience," he said Thursday. "There's a good group of guys down here that makes my job a lot easier."
He noted that there have been "good times and bad times, a lot more good times than bad times."
The job has also changed a great deal.
"There was no such thing as domestic violence laws (when he started in 1985)," Steward said. "If two people fought and nobody wanted to sign a complaint, there was nothing I could do."
He also said the advent of cell phones, videotape and body cameras have also led to a great deal of change.
"You get to see a lot of different things," he added. "Technology and the hot topic of the day."
The one thing that remains the same is human nature.
He noted that in some cases, he remembers arresting people when he first became a police officer.
"When their grandkids are getting arrested, you know you've been around a lot," he said.
He praised City Manager Jim Schneider, as well as the mayors he has worked under: the late Fred Ufert, Frank Akers and, most recently, Cheryl Maguire.
"I've really enjoyed my time here in Wood River," Steward said. "It's a great town."
His last day in the office will be Feb. 16, and he will use up vacation time until March 2.
Steward said he plans to take a few weeks off and visit relatives in Chicago, then decide what he wants to do next.
"I've got a couple of irons in the fire," he said. "If they pan out I'll probably be going to work somewhere else. At my age I can't just 'retire' retire; it would probably drive me crazy."
Maguire said Steward has been considering retiring for some time.
In addition to Steward, Officer Tom Kochan also retired this week.
"We're just hoping for some good things, things are well in the Police Department," she said. "Brad (Wells) has some ideas of things he'd like to proceed with, so we're moving forward. The City Council as a whole thinks it's a good choice."
Wells, 53, started as a police officer in Wood River in July 1990, then went to the Madison County Sheriff's Office.
"That was a tough decision to make at that time, because I enjoyed the police department while I was down here," he said.
He was at the department for 23 years, retiring as chief deputy in December 2014.
Coming back to Wood River, he has been a patrol officer from January 2015 until being named chief.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," he said. "The guys I work with down here are A-plus. I hope we can enjoy that just as much as chief."
He will serve as interim chief until being officially sworn in March 5.

text: climbing a mountain, everyone's elevation can be measured with an altimeter. However, the most effective way to climb the mountain may vary depending on the person. We have always recognized ways of achieving happiness, and those ways are written in the old Eudemonics texts, but in fact, scientific data shows that the path to happiness varies according to the individual. AI solves and displays the path to happiness for each individual based on each individual's personal situation and based on their personal data. This has been a significant breakthrough in the utilization of AI. A key trait of AI is that it is borne from diversity both on the human and organizational levels. This means that AI is able to determine what specific individual attributes a company has that can allow that organization to differentiate itself. Companies are made up of human assets, and these very assets can be used to determine a company's unique success traits. These traits, in turn, lead to a productivity outcome for organizations and this, remarkably, remains true even when these employees move to a different company. Conventional automation incorporated by many companies once led to a gap between their competitors. Following a period where technology provided the advantage, today, AI provides something fundamentally different. Corporations have differing management resources and challenges. Using different problem settings and data for the exact same AI algorithms will produce an AI that is totally unique for each company; an individual fingerprint if you will, unique to that organization. Accordingly, individual corporate characteristics and strengths can be fostered, as well as individual innovations and achievements. This proves that people are the most important asset of any firm. Another key trait of AI is that it is strikingly different from the indiscriminate standardization of users by conventional computers. Applying AI data to HR can lead to the concern of a Big Brother environment where people are controlled indiscriminately and against their will. Rather, AI can foster diversity for each person and organization. This means that prior computer systems and their strong control will be overturned. AI will actually foster diversity. Misconception 5: AI Is Relevant Only for The Future and Not Applicable Now AI has already begun to be applied to a wide range of significant existing challenges for business and HR today. As William Gibson put it, "The future has arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet." Hitachi is in the middle of a large organizational transformation, and we have already started using AI within HR. Hitachi is evolving from a company that primarily focused on providing products to a reimagined company that provides services to customers. However, it is not easy to reflect this transformative change in the daily lives and activities of employees. As we develop this evolved business, many jobs will have to change. For the project I referenced where the Hitachi HR department utilized AI, working with 600 employees in a wide range of fields, each of the employees were equipped with wearable label sensors. Based on the collected data, we de46 PEOPLE + STRATEGY veloped a management system that enables AI to send daily, individualized smartphone messages with information on how the employee can optimize each day, including suggested interactions that will maximize their personal happiness as well as their productivity and success After implementing this system, the results demonstrated that the longer a department used this smartphone application, the more happiness levels and revenue levels increased. So, we already have a way of accurately measuring the impact that employees have on their workplace based on how happy they are and, as a result, we can directly measure the influence that is driving that happiness on an individual basis, a remarkable finding. It is therefore necessary to con- It has been shown that AI can be used to elevate happiness and therefore overall business results. sider how an employee's individual happiness is directly tied to an organization's success, and in turn, how organizations in general can focus on the individual to improve a company's success, because both are truly worthwhile goals. The use of AI for HR in driving organizational transformation has already begun. These approaches can also be applied to a variety of fields within the HR and organizational contexts, such as education, selection-making, retention, and organizational development. Ultimately, AI will change HR in ways that will far surpass anticipated misconceptions. To see HR reinvented, HR professionals should grasp the following five digital reforms: * AI itself is simple and can be understood by individuals lacking a technical background. * AI surpasses pre-determined rules and is made up of a systematic methodology that is flexible to change. * Outcome settings and outcome thinking are key in the application of AI. Happiness, the ultimate outcome for humans, can now be measured with breakthrough wearable technology. Moving forward, AI will bring people happiness and support higher productivity, achieve growth and improve organizational performance. * Real AI will foster increased diversity among people. This is in contrast to the "Big Brother" misconception of AI that dominates current thinking. AI is not a thing of the future for the field of HR. Among these digital reforms, corporations have already started to use AI for organizational transformations. The future is already here, and the future of company success through AI has already begun. However, nothing will happen without action. HR has an opportunity to impact the world of work like never before. Kazuo Yano, Ph.D., is corporate chief scientist, research and development group, at Hitachi Data Systems.

Heb 11:23-29
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.
Action: What should be the guiding principles for the daily choices I make?

Southampton Water and the River Hamble - for a Swim
Length: 15.2 km (9.5 miles)
Toughness: 2 out of 10
London Waterloo: 10-09 hrs (Portsmouth Harbour service) Woking 10-35 hrs Basingstoke 11-00 hrs
Arrive Botley: 11-38 hrs
Clapham Junctioners: CJ: 10-12 hrs (Weymouth service)
Arrive Basingstoke: 10-47 hrs
Leave Basingstoke: 11-00 hrs - on Portsmouth Harbour train as above.
Return: Netley to Waterloo: 02 mins past the hour via Fareham, and 18 mins past the hour via Southampton Central (plus 17-49 hrs). Journey time, both - just over 2 hrs.
Rail ticket: buy a day return to Netley. Make use of South-West trains promotional offer: £ 26 return. Senior railcard holders with travel passes - the price is circa £ 20
We gave this Book 1 walk a spin in reverse last year and it worked quite well - so here it is again ! The original posting date has been brought forward by a week to take advantage of the train operator's fares promotion (last day 14 July), so hopefully the outing will be a bit more affordable than usual for our younger walkers.
The walk is easy and relaxing. Woods in the morning, with lovely coves offering opportunities for a swim, so do bring your cossies with you. Lunch is taken at the Navigator pub in Lower Swanwick, and then we set out on a walk beside the River Hamble along its causeway and banks. We then catch the Warsash Ferry to the western side of the Hamble, on through Hamble Common and then we walk along the beach to Netley, for tea at the cafe in the Royal Victoria Park. Those who feel like adding a few extra miles to today's walk can take the pleasant extension to Sholing.
For those who like seaside walks and a swim with some nice variety along the way (woods) you should really enjoy today's walk. The long(ish) train journeys are worth it.
Walk directions here: L=1.3

This swimming walk offers several opportunities both in the river Hamble and in Southampton water when the tide is right but bring your swim shoes/reef shoes as its very stony underfoot. If its a hot sunny day sunglasses and hats essential as you are walking towards the sun most of the time. It was great last year and 3 swims were enjoyed. Make the most of the tea stop which has plenty of refreshments as theres nothing at Netley station at the finish.

You can buy the £13 tickets from the machines at Waterloo certainly. Select "SWT services only" and it automatically gives you the special offer

N=7 on this walk, on a day of w=sun-and-cloud. The cloud was inland, the sun more on the coast, so it got sunnier as the day went on, culminating in a glorious golden finish along Southampton Water, which with its pine-fringed coast felt a bit like a Greek island.
In the morning fields (one full of ground skimming swallows) and woods brought us to the upper reaches of the Hamble Estuary. Two of us swam here and at least two swam vicariously - that is to say, they did not swim but seemed keen to see us do so. Despite an incoming tide one could swim quite a way out before the current started to pull you up river.
A briskly served lunch in the Navigator, rubbing shoulders with the Hamble River yacht set, a walk through boatyards with their interesting operations, then down the lovely Hamble Estuary at high tide. The pink ferry took six of us across it and we very politely waited in the cafe on the far side (big staff, disorganised service: they were no longer doing hot food but made a meal out of serving tea and cakes) for the seventh to get the next ferry. One of the group shared her memories of her childhood in Hamble village.
Then what for me is always the highlight: a walk up the beach of Southampton Water In the sparkling afternoon sun. Interesting shingle flowers and two of us (the same two) had an idyllic swim from the beach of Victoria Park as a Chinese container ship glided placidly by. A third walker watched our bags, for which thanks.
The other four headed straight for the train I presume and so missed the final treat, which was the majestic Queen Mary 2, the only transatlantic liner, the largest liner ever built, slipping its moorings and gliding down Southampton Water to the sea. Inbound from New York that morning, outbound for the Norwegian fjords. I am not a cruising person but just for a moment I wished I was going with her.
Instead we got the 6.18 train.

Some clients to be charged in Maine prostitution case
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Law enforcement authorities expect to prosecute some of the more than 100 men who allegedly engaged with a prostitute whose services yielded $150,000.
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/NUses6) quotes a prosecutor in a letter as saying a client list and contact information were found when authorities searched a Kennebunk fitness studio operated by Alexis Wright, a nearby office space and Wright's home in Wells.
Police say they found video footage of Wright having sex with men who were unaware they were being filmed and meticulous records suggesting sex acts would have generated $150,000. Wright has not been charged.
The prosecutors filed a motion this week for a gag order in the case. The only person to be charged so far is a Thomaston insurance agent who's accused of promoting prostitution.

Ryanair, Ireland's version of Southwest Airlines, is looking to charge for just about anything… The Telegraph (U.K.) reports:
"Michael O'Leary, the airline's chief executive, will set out proposals today that include charging customers to use the loo.
A standing area with "vertical seats" will be introduced at the back of its fleet of 250 planes."
My suggestion… let people sit and use the bathroom, and just charge a little more for the seats. I also fear if they charge to go to the bathroom, you could be sitting next to the guy who uses a cup like this U.S. Congressman did.

9 Ways You're Killing Your Coaching Business
Just in case I haven't been really clear: I'm a master at making mistakes, even in my coaching business. So far, my life and coaching business journey has been punctuated by a series of cringe-worthy, red-cheeked, foot-in-mouth moments.
To be sure, I'm probably making them right now, as I type this article, thinking of ways I can help you escape the same errors.
But, alas, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" … right? I certainly hope so.
See, I've learned that the quicker I'm able to acknowledge my mistakes, learn from them, and steer myself back to more stable harbors, the better. And the most effective way I've found to navigate that path is by learning from the mistakes of others.
In that spirit, I bring you my top ten fatal mistakes for anyone's coaching business. May you learn from my mistakes (as well as your own).
#1 Providing Band-Aids When Clients Need Surgery
No matter how great your coaching business is, there's a good chance you've made the Number One error on more than one occasion: Coaching during a discovery call.
That is, not taking the time to fully dissect what a prospective client's problems are and jumping right to the solution.
Hey, I get it. The world of temptation is great, especially when it (temporarily) makes someone feel better.
Yet this fatal flaw not only kills your chances of landing a new client, it also eliminates any chance that the person will truly grow in the ways they need to.
Think of these little soundbites, these tidbits of "help" you give, as band-aids. They offer a short-term solution. Now this is great… if someone truly only has a minor cut on their finger and an inch-long plastic cover will help.
However, they're on the call with you.
That means they need more.
They need surgery.
And there ain't no band-aid that's going to cover a wound that big.
#2 Offering Discounts for Your Coaching Business
When you're walking through Walmart or Target and you come across those little bargain bins… You know, the ones that have bright signs telling you everything is "Discounted 80%" or "Only $1," your wheels start spinning.
"What crap can I find for cheap today?"
Sure, you may browse; heck, you may even buy an item or two. But, really, when the frenzy subsides, what do you REALLY tell yourself?
"Hey, when this falls apart, no big deal. It was only a buck."
When you discount your coaching business prices, the same thing happens with your clients. Suddenly what was the crème de la crème becomes another bargain bin toss. You cheapen your services; you lessen your reputation.
#3 Guaranteeing Results
Tools come with guarantees. Knives come with guarantees. Heck, cookware comes with guarantees. Professional coaching business services do NOT come with guarantees.
As a pro, you're stretching clients out of their comfort zone. You're asking them to do things that are unfamiliar and often challenging. This isn't easy for them.
If you have a guarantee, guess what will happen when the going gets tough? Many of your clients will suddenly ask for their money back.
Now, don't get me wrong: There should be some sort of accountability piece, as I describe here. However, that needs to relate to the service and value you deliver, NOT the results they attain. For instance, I guarantee that I will give clients the best support possible. I tell clients that if they follow my recipe, a recipe that has helped hundreds of others achieve their goals, they will get results.
On the other hand, I don't tell them they will earn a specific amount of money, lose a certain number of pounds, get over a death in a certain amount of time, or save their marriage with 100% certainty. I can't possibly know how they will show up, if they will do the work, or if they really, truly even want the results that my coaching business strives to help them attain.
#4 Charging by the Hour
Oh, how I wish I could alleviate every coach of this dreaded habit… Charging clients by the hour is an exercise in futility for oh-so-many reasons.
First, your clients won't get the results they want in one hour, two hours, or even five hours. The longer they have with you, the more likelihood they'll learn the habits to succeed. When they see results, they stick around longer, look at you more favorably, and refer your coaching business to their friends.
Additionally, if you're charging by the hour, for each of those hours they spend with you, they will be mentally subtracting money from their bank account. This means a lot of distracted time together, time that could be much better spent on actually working instead of stressing about money.
Finally, as you well know, charging by the hour equates to a constant hustle. Try making $10k a month through a bunch of $150 payments instead of a packaged price of, say, $1,000 or $5,000. Which method will get you the results you want more efficiently? Moreover, which will help you stay motivated and feel like you're being paid what you're worth?
#5 Selling Processes, Not Outcomes
You provide amazing value to your clients, right? They get amazing results with your coaching business that they wouldn't get if they went to Joe Schmoe down the road, correct? So, why not tell them all about it?
Here's a dirty truth: People don't care how you get them results (within reason); they care what results you get them.
Yet all too often, coaches emphasize the how. "I use this tool; I use this assessment; I have this training or credential." Etcetera, etcetera.
How about this? Instead of trying to persuade clients that they need your tools, skills, knowledge, or technique to achieve their goal, educate them on what specific outcomes they'll receive from your coaching.
This incentivizes the whole process and avoids lingo that many people don't know and, quite frankly, don't really care about.
#6 Learning How to Coach Without Learning Business
This goes without saying yet pops up time and time again…
Most of us train to be a coach, consultant, or mentor. We spend hours in school, classes, seminars, and training to become the best coach possible. And it shows — we're exceptionally good at coaching. In fact, our coaching toolkit is busting at the seams with handy ways to help our clients achieve their goals.
When it comes down to running a coaching business, however, we flounder. Marketing may as well be part of the Twilight Zone. Growing a great enterprise is as foreign as, say, brushing our teeth upside down.
So, how do we overcome this natural deficit in our training? We keep learning.
I am a huge advocate for mentorship. Finding a mentor who understands both business and coaching should be a necessary part of every coaching toolkit. In fact, I devote a significant part of my free video training to this topic. What you can do with the right assistance far exceeds what you can do while going it alone.
#7 Trying to be Someone Else
Authenticity is the currency for every modern entrepreneur, and with it, your coaching business will soar. Without it, your coaching business will fail.
In the '90s, having a crisp, polished presentation was integral to success. We were expected to dress nice, have high-quality video and audio, and speak our well-scripted lines.
Those days have long disappeared.
Now, it's all about being real. Show up on a Facebook live without makeup; stumble as you try to capture the perfect angle for your video. Speak from your heart and tell your story, even if it's a little messy.
To clarify, this doesn't mean you should resurrect The Three Stooges; it simply means that it's okay to be, well, human. More importantly, it's important to be the human you really are and not the one you've seen making millions with a different brand.
If you stay true to your purpose (not someone else's), you'll be able to serve people in the way you're meant to serve.
#8 Jumping Right Into the 'Pretty' Stuff
Starting a business is exciting. I get it. And all the fancy things that come along with it can be thrilling as well. Building a website, subscribing to an email service, selecting coaching business cards…
Unfortunately, all too many entrepreneurs overlook the most important aspects of building a biz: the foundational pieces.
Before you leap headfirst into the branding tasks, take a deep breath and get clear on three extremely important things – your offer, your audience, and your mindset.
If you're like 99% of the other clients I've helped, these foundational pieces are hard to develop. As in, grit your teeth, stay up past midnight, and begrudgingly plow through it. Moreover, they're near impossible to do without help. We simply lack the tools and distance to do it all in a silo.
Which circles back to… Find a mentor, someone who will help you shape your offer, work with you on your mindset, and help niche down to the perfect audience for you.
#9 Building a Coaching Business That Isn't Scalable
Put simply, scalability refers to the ability of a company to multiply revenue with minimal cost increases. Your coaching business becomes ready to scale when you have a proven product and a proven business model, and you're ready to expand into new geographic areas and markets.
Hold on… A proven product? Expand into new geographic areas? Perhaps both concepts seem absurd for you given that you provide one-on-one services exclusively. How can you possibly develop a product to sell, much less effectively serve people without ever seeing them or traveling the world constantly?
Rest assured, with the right business model, you can build a scalable, heart-centered coaching business with relative simplicity.
One that eliminates burnout, skyrockets your income potential, and lets you serve THOUSANDS of people each and every single day…
For entrepreneurs who are ready to take 2019 by the reins and own it, I have a solution: Start a membership site coaching business.
Hands down, it is the single most effective way to simultaneously reach more people on a deeper level while avoiding the daily hustle for new clients AND earn at least $10k per month of recurring revenue.
Want some help getting there yourself? I would love to mentor you in an 9-week program that takes you from having an idea to launching a successful 7-figure coaching business in less than 90 days. Schedule a call with me right away so we can talk about how I can help you serve your people more effectively, efficiently, and profitably than ever before.

Ellen Pao took the stand Monday morning in her sex discrimination trial against venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, and she revealed that she actually turned down the first job offer she got from the firm.
Pao is seeking $US16 million in damages from Kleiner and alleges she was retaliated against after having an affair with another partner at the firm. Kleiner is known as one of the most successful venture capital firms in Silicon Valley.
In 2005, Pao applied for a role as partner John Doerr's chief of staff. She was eventually offered the position but turned it down.
"I had conversations with Juliet [de Baubigny] and John [Doerr] and decided ultimately that the role seemed too junior," Pao said during her testimony Monday.
By the time of her offer, Pao had already graduated from Princeton, as well as Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. While at graduate school she worked at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a prestigious New York law firm, as well as Bain & Company, a top consulting company made famous during Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.
Pao had worked at a number of companies before joining Kleiner, including BEA Systems, a company that sold software to other businesses. Pao said she was be responsible for "90-95%" of the company's revenues while she worked there as head of business development.
Pao was told that becoming John Doerr's chief of staff would likely lead to an operating role down the road.
"I'd been running biz dev at a large public company," said Pao. "I told Juliet I didn't want to pursue the offer."
Despite her initial reluctance, Kleiner continued to pursue Pao's employment.
"John [Doerr] changed the role so it would be more senior, so there would be a new opportunity for me at the end of the role where I could have an investing opportunity," said Pao.
Pao negotiated a starting salary of $US220,000, plus a large bonus and other incentives before joining Kleiner in June 2005.
"We all look forward to you contributing lots to Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and benefit from doing so," said her offer letter from Doerr.
Pao ultimately really left Kleiner in 2012, shortly after filing her gender discrimination suit.

Selling Your Home? Why You Should Contact an Oil Tank Sweep NJ Company to Inspect Your Property
If you live in the state of New Jersey and your home is about to go on the market, you likely already know that the scale tips in favor of buyers in most areas. That said, there is a growing need now more than ever to maximize the value of your home. One crucial yet overlooked issue that plays into a home's value is whether or not the property has a buried oil tank.
Why d New Jersey Homes have Buried Oil Tanks?
At the turn of the century, oil tanks were used to heat homes. These massive tanked were buried on the property near the home where lines lead into the house to provide fuel for heating and cooking. At the time these oil tank were cutting edge. But their life expectancy is about 100 years meaning that now we are seeing leaking oil tanks causing soil contamination and in some cases even damage to a home's foundation. If your home is older, or if your house was built on a lot that once had an older property, you would be wise to call an oil tank sweep NJ company to detect and remove any oil tanks on your property.
Oil Tank Detection Makes Your Property More Attractive to Buyers
One concern homebuyers have is purchasing a property only to learn down the road there is a leaking oil tank on the premises. Not only is the homeowner liable and can face huge Federal and state fines, but the soil remediation cost from oil tank removal companies can be high. By simply having an oil tank sweep NJ specialist come out and scan your property for any red flags, finding zero oil tanks, and providing you with a certificate, your home will look more desirable to buyers who have this common concern. And if one is found, having oil tank removal services performed will prevent any needed expensive soil remediation services, and give the buyers peace of mind knowing the property was scanned, and the oil tank was removed.
Oil Tank Removal Services Promote Safe, Healthy Homes
If you have an il tank on your property, you will want to get it removed, even if there doesn't appear to be a leak. The fact of the matter is this: it will leak sooner than later. Remember, oil tanks start to corrode and disintegrate around the 100 year-mark. We are well passed this point for homes built in the early 1890s to the early 1900s. Even if your home was built in the 90s, there is a good change that, at some point, an older home sat on your lot, and therefore an even better chance you have an oil tank in need of removal. Don't let petroleum leak into your soil and groundwater; call an oil removal company and let buyers know your property is healthy and safe for wildlife and families.

Pawan Kalyan is Growing Beard for…?
Pawan Kalyan appeared at Manchu Manoj's wedding as a yogi with a fully grown beard. When compared to when he visited fan Srija, Pawan had larger beard when he attended Manoj's wedding. Film industry and political sources are gossiping about reason for Pawan growing a big beard. According to news from tollywood and political sources, Pawan is following an advice given to him by Viswayogi Viswamji of Guntur to grow beard. He reportedly asked Pawan to implement a 45 day deeksha, which requires beard not to be shaved. Director Trivikram is said to be a follower of Viswamji and Pawan klayna had known Viswamji through him, say sources. Way back, during the time when Attharintiki Daredi was released, Viswamji did a homam for Trivikram Srinivas at his residence. Under the context of such news being heard, film and political sectors are anxious to see why Pawan grew beard and to fulfil what wishes he is doing this.

"We are very pleased indeed with the way Simply Pondz approached the difficult project in our garden, which as you know involved re-homing around 70 fish, filling in a very large pond and completing attractive landscaping. The service you provided was very helpful and professional at every stage.
We are delighted with the completed project..."
"Simply Pondz has done a great job on my pond giving it a complete new look! I would recommend them without hesitation..."
"We inherited our fish pond when we moved house, not knowing how to maintain it. The pond water was pea green in colour and so dirty we could hardly see a fish. It has been completely transformed from a murky mire to an attractive feature.
I have no hesitation in recommending Simply Pondz..."

Hi there,
I was hoping some of you helpful piercers could answer a question for me. I'm really, really freaked out by this bump that appeared today above my new front nostril piercing. The back one is an old piercing that healed just fine a long time ago. This new one has been irritated off and on, but the bump appeared today. I am so scared. It feels itchy and it is crusting a bit but not a lot, and the crust isn't yellow or green. What is it? I really hope it's not a keloid scar. I was pierced about two weeks ago and then had to change the jewelry Sunday night. It's been doing okay though until now.

Four teams, composed of roughly equal numbers of international participants and their Cuban hosts, studied the
district from the scale of the city to that of the block.

Choke up scrambling around looking for a power source when you can just look straight up at the source. External battery packs are cool and all, but our only gripe with them is having to constantly celebrate them charged.

The 'Pokémon GO' Accoutrements Guide: Top 5 Best Battery Packs - Heavy.com
This charger packs enough strength to charge an iPhone 6 almost eight times, and while a little heavy, is more than worth carrying along on any Pokémon-based junket. Its anodized aluminum case is very durable, and carries the same large selection of safety features and convenient 18-month guarantee as their other power bank lines. If you feel weird having a phone cable peeking out of your pocket while you walk around in circles worrisome to track that Scyther three footsteps away, a battery phone cover can be an awesome upgrade from a traditional power bank. The catch here is that these cases are tailored for individual to phone models, so you'll have to do some browsing to make sure that your phone has an available battery case model. Also keep in mind that battery cases are not like sheltering cases, and won't absorb any shock if you drop your phone. Still, the value of these battery cases to an ace trainer is too much to pass on, and worth having to be a little more meticulous with your phone. We found two great examples of a good battery case, one for the iPhone 6/6s, and one for the Samsung Galaxy S7. There are definitely more out there for older phone models as kind-heartedly.

One of the ports outputs 2. 1A, which provides fast charging for phones, while the other 1A port offers a slower charge.

Buy the Kmashi External Power Bank here. Despite its small size, the PowerCore+ mini can charge most phone to choke-full or almost full battery. It has a capacity of 3350mAh, and its 1A USB port uses a fast-charging PowerIQ system to ensure a speedy afflict. Buy the Anker PowerCore+ mini 3350mAh here. Sometimes, even with your phone plugged into a power bank, Pokémon Go can still drain your battery faster than you can gather a charge. However, if you have a Qualcomm Quick Charge-compatible phone such as a Samsung Galaxy S7, or a Galaxy Note Edge, you can avoid this buy opting for a QC-compatible power bank. QC-compatible power banks like the 10000mAh Aukey can raid up to 75% faster than conventional chargers independent of any special cables or connections. Some of the newest power banks will even support QuickCharge 3. 0, but perfect few smartphones utilize the newest protocol. In either case, the extra charge speed is greatly appreciated, especially if you are sharing this single-USB haven charger with another trainer. Buy the Aukey Portable QC Charger here. Too many power banks come with a poor excuse for an LED flashlight tacked on. The Xtreme Bright X-3500, however, is a raw take on this design, functioning as a flashlight and power bank equally well. This flashlight is a little more than pocket-sized at 8 inches extensive, but its dual functionality makes it always useful to have out. Source: heavy.com
