"Taking Yourself to the Next Level"

The Monthly Newsletter from Don Sardella, Business Development Coach for Financial Advisors – November 2006



To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:

Wow – we are clearly past Thanksgiving and well on our way to a fast forward, year end. Trust your holiday weekend was meaningful and fulfilling. Some brief ideas from here.

First of all, I want to thank you all for the opportunity to be of service in recent years. As I have watched many of you create breakthroughs in both your lives and your business, it has been a privilege to be a small part of your investment & I have learned in the process.

To that end, given the skill development that has taken place on my side, I was recently awarded the Professional Certified Coach Designation (PCC) in October of this year, from the International Coaching Federation. (aka ICF@ www.coachfederation.org)

As ICF heads into its 12 th year as the leading professional association for coaches, I am inspired & challenged to continuously raise my standards of service and effectiveness for you. I have attached a copy of the ICF’s Code of Ethics, to show the guidelines to which we are committed and subscribe. For your reference, I encourage you to briefly review it.

I am a long-term member of the International Coach Federation and

I have signed an agreement to abide by the THE ICF CODE OF ETHICS

Got some focused goals and objectives
that you must absolutely complete by year end?

 If so, why not create Your Absolute Must List for December?  

My Absolute Must List for December 2006

1. Read 1 hour/day, according to my most important needs & goals.

2. Do my best to keep our valued clients exceptionally well-served.

3. Record Management System strengthened and all year end bookkeeping current.

4. Complete longevity research and exercise, exercise, exercise, at least 3 times/week.

5. Complete Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results & then finalize 2007 plans.

 

Might this kind of distilled list serve you well?

Could it inspire you to give more of your attention to these areas?  

Let your Absolute Must list remind you of what’s important – what you really want.

When you know what you want, your focus becomes crystal clear – you’re able to honor, and more effectively follow, your priorities, no matter what the situation.
