Welcome to Surpass Your Dreams. The goal of the newsletter and weekly tips is to help you recognize your potential and surpass your dreams.
Included are tips for either transitioning into a career you love, excelling in the career you have now, or loving what you do for a living everyday.
I. HOW TO PERFORM WELL AT WORK
Part I
Everything you do at work comes down to how you perform. Good performers produce results quickly and are known for getting the job done right. Poor performers complain, use a lot of excuses, and generally cannot be counted on.
But what if you are a good performer, yet you are not performing well lately? Maybe you are tired, run-down, or have too much on your plate. Maybe you are bored, uninterested, or have lost your zeal. Maybe you want to do a good job, but your energy level is not helping you out.
See Part II continued below…
Six Steps For Creating A High-Energy Success Plan For Your
Career
What is your energy level like at work? Do you find yourself
dragging during the day and craving sugar, caffeine, and other
highly processed carbohydrates for energy? Let Deborah
Brown-Volkman, best selling author, guide you through creating a
practical plan to finding more energy to fuel your career.
“When you feel great, anything is possible. You benefit from
high-energy, focus, and the ability to make better, stronger
decisions about your job and career.” Bob Mittleman, owner,
Fitness Together Personal Training Studios, and eight-time
marathon runner. To

II. THREE STEPS FOR PERFORMING BETTER Part II So, how can you turn your poor performance around? How? Follow these three steps below: 1. Eat Right & Exercise 2. Plan Your Work & Work Your Plan 3. Keep The Future In Mind So what do you say, you only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love! Since many of my subscribers are coaches, this section is for you. It contains tips and techniques to take your coaching practice to the next level. THIS MONTH: THE TOP MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT A COACH CAN HELP A CLIENT TO DO There are many things that a coach and client can work on. This list below contains things you can help your clients with.
1. Greatly Simplify Their Life This means to reduce the number of roles, commitments, goals, projects and obligations, thus reducing stress of all types.
2. Acquire Far More Than Is Needed Your clients' lives will not be same when they have deliberately added/substantially increased their time, money, skills, energy, and community. And, as personal needs get satisfied/met, people become far more effective and can grow intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally at a far faster rate.
3. Become a Fabulous Communicator
The better your clients can communicate, the more ease they’ll have in their career and life. Communication skills training is a valuable investment and an under leveraged skill set. 4.
Become Highly, Highly Effective A highly effective person is someone who gets the smart thing done in hours, not months. Is effectiveness a worthwhile focus for a client? Yes. 5.
Become That Good At Something One of the tricks to becoming That Good at something involves being yourself, trusting/investing in your intuition, being around creative people and a heck of a lot of experimenting. If a person's life is to busy/full, their needs aren't met, etc., they won't be able to devote the energy/time that it takes to be the best they can be. This piece was written by Thomas J. Leonard, deceased, and the founder of the coaching profession. DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A CAREER COACH?

WANT TO FEEL GREAT AT WORK EVERYDAY?
What you put in determines what you put out. No time in your day? Recognize that your job will take longer and will be harder for you if you are not taking care of yourself. Small things count. A 15 minute walk at lunch will refresh you. Taking a 10-minute break to clear your head will energize you. Eating something healthy like an apple will rejuvenate you. You don’t have to change everything at once, so start with something small. Eating right and exercising will transform your career because you can’t perform well if you do not feel well.
If you can plan what you will work on and then work on what you planned, you will have more control over your workload and your stress level. You don’t always have power over what is thrown at you, but you can handle how you tackle it. Sit down every morning and look at what you need to get done. Prioritize your tasks and work on the most important items first. Then, go down your list, and work on each item one by one. Can’t get to something today? Work on it tomorrow. Remember that you are a person and not a machine. You can only do so much in one day, and that’s ok. Even if you can only check off one or two items from your to-do list, you are making progress. The time you spend planning will pay off in a big way because you can’t perform well if you are disorganized and overwhelmed.
Work is a day-to-day part of your life. You go in, do what you need to do, and then you head home. But if work was only that, you wouldn’t have anything to look forward to. It’s easy to get caught up in a routine, going through the motions, and no longer thinking about what you are doing. To combat this, focus on the future. What’s the big picture? Where do you see yourself a year from now, three years, five years or longer? What’s going to get you excited again? Keep the future in mind because you can’t perform well of you are only thinking of the here and now.
