Resource Round-Up


Greetings! Below you'll find a few of my favorite resources....

~The Sensitive Professionals Network
Check it out at www.sensitiveprofessionals.com.

~Mind Media Life Enhancement Network
This website has a catalog of really cool stuff! Some of it is downloadable software, such as Roger Von Oech's "Creative Whack Pack," which is a fantastic brainstorming tool that I use. See www.mindmedia.com.

~Susan Abrams, Master Certified Coach
Susan Abrams has specific skills that can help you sail past blocks, creative or otherwise. To this end, she employs the Emotional Freedom Technique and a step-by-step plan for zapping limiting beliefs. She also offers the Option Process (R) Dialogue, as taught at The Option Institute in Sheffield, MA, USA . See her site at www.susanabrams.net.

~Ali Rodriguez is the owner of Vision for Success, a business coaching and consulting service. Her passion for her work is contagious! Follow this link to see her calendar of teleclasses and live events: www.visionforsuccess.biz/calendar.html.

~The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron with Mark Bryan. This book is a modern classic which has been pivotal in my creative development. Cameron uses the word "artist" in its broadest sense. It's still in print after more than a decade, so you can find it at www.amazon.com.

~The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain's Untapped Potential by Tony Buzan with Barry Buzan. The title says it all! It's also available at www.amazon.com.

~A.D.D. and Creativity: Tapping Your Inner Muse by Lynn Weiss, Ph.D. This book is a nice mix of personal experience, valuable info, and a fresh perspective. It's at www.amazon.com, too.

~You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader, by Mark Sanborn. Inspirational! Go to www.amazon.com.

~And a shamless plug for my own guided journal, The Whispering Heart, which I'm offering to my blog readers with free shipping within the US for $15 US. Click on the previous post called "Getting to the Heart of Your Creativity through Journaling" (3/27/06) to see sample pages. Pennsyvania residents will need to add $0.90 tax per copy. Residents of other countries, please email me for shipping details. Make your www.paypal.com payment to scleaver@dejazzd.com. Please put the book title and number of copies in the subject line, and your name and shipping address in the "note" box.

Please let me know how you've found these resources to be helpful once you've checked them out. The more specific you can be, the better, so that your comment can be of help to other readers.

Thanks!

This Is Gonna Be Fun!

Greetings,

This is your invitation to Dig-Out Day on Tuesday, September 26, 2006! Does an avalanche of clutter or a big project have you snowed under? Join us for a series of brief teleconference calls, where we will support and motivate each other to "dig out"! But...

The real magic happens between the calls! This is when we will be in motion, each tackling our own project at hand. We will be calling in at the times below to keep us all on track and inspired. I'd love to have you on all the calls, but if your schedule doesn't allow that, call in when you can.

9:00 am eastern
9:45 am
10:30 am
11:15 am
12:00 noon

I know what you're thinking: "But it's too overwhelming!" "But I don't know where to start!" "But being organized will stifle my creativity!" We are going to get off our "buts" and into action! Who knew it could be this much fun?

We will be calling into a conference line service that is in the US area code 712. So, while I am offering Dig-Out Day as a complimentary service, we each will be charged our long-distance rate by our respective providers.

Pre-register by emailing me by Monday, September 25, at scleaver@dejazzd.com. I'll see that you get the number to call!

Blessings,
Susan

P.S. There are also three telecoaching hotline days left this month! Call in on any of the remaining Thursday nights in September between 6 and 8 pm eastern time. Again, this is a long-distance call for most of you, but the 15-minutes of coaching is complimentary. The hotline number is 610-385-3766.
