*TIMELY* Claim Your ‘Andrea’s Moving’ Prize

This is where you can claim one of over $319 in Prizes for the Next 6 Registrants in the Leadership in Coaching TeleSummit

The excavation of the basement is complete! The most onerous part of packing so far has been deciding what to keep, what to donate or recycle, and what to give away to a good home.

I have 6 items carefully kept from the donation pile that I think would be a welcome addition to almost any coach’s library, and I’d like to ship them – on me – to the next 6 coaches who register for Option #2 or #3 at the TeleSummit.

Just go to the TeleSummit page to register, and when your receipt arrives in just after you’re done, send it to andrea@andreajlee.com with your mailing address and selection and I will drive myself to the post office this weekend. Happy dance!

Please indicate your first and second choice of ‘Andrea’s Moving’ Prizes (first come first served):

Dr. Wayne Dyer’s The Secrets of the Power of Intention, Live Lecture 6-CD Set | Retail $59.95, HayHouse Special $45.

Two Open House Calls: Of Microtrends and Virtual Assistants

These two Open House calls are hosted by yours truly and several of my favorite collaborators in business, and I hope you’ll join us.

Call #1: Emerging Trends in Coaching: What’s Changing in our Clients’ Lives?
**Timely, Happening May 12th at 1pm Eastern with Andrea Lee and Jo Romano**

Microtrends are the small forces behind the big changes occurring in our society. As a coach, you will be particularly interested in exploring how the trends are impacting your clients’ lives. You may find inspiration for targetted products and services, or perhaps the nugget of a new business altogether.

This call was led by Jo Romano and Andrea Lee in rollicking and rapid form on May 12th, and is also a taster call for the Leadership in Coaching TeleSummit. As such, it includes two 2-minute, respectful commercial breaks.

Here is a link to the call recording for your listening pleasure:

Call #2: Desperately Seeking Virtual Assistants: Help for VAs
*With Cindy Greenway and Tina Forsyth*

To kick-off the 'Hot Skills VA Training Program' [6-weeks of intensive online training] my business partners Tina Forsyth and Cindy Greenway are leading an Open House call to reveal exactly what disappointed clients:

• want from a Virtual Assistant
• will and want to pay good, regular money for each month
• are saying in general about the Virtual Assistants they’re meeting and how they’re missing the mark (so you can avoid doing the same)

DATE/TIME: May 21st from 100 to 155 PM Eastern / 1000 to 1055 AM Pacific.

If you’re an aspiring VA or perhaps a VA looking to expand into a new market, this is your ticket! Register now – once again, no fee required to attend, other than your long-distance charges – at this link: http://www.hotskillsvatraining.com

Coaching YouTube Channel

Have you ever wondered whether there should be a Coaching YouTube Channel where short, powerful videos relevant to coaching are housed? A cool idea right?

So okay, a question for you. Would you like to see something like this created, and if so, why? What would you use it for, what would you like to see on it, and how? If you could wave a magic wand and create the best possible ‘thing like this’ for coaching, describe.

Technology As A Force For Global Change

Pangea Day is Saturday May 10, 2008: Does Today’s Media Have the Power to Humanize ‘the Other?’

Do you know about TED? It stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and the annual conference convenes the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less).

If you don’t already know about TED, I challenge you to visit the site and view just one of the many, many videos available there – just one, any one – and not leave incredibly moved.

This is one of the ones I was recommended to most recently, called ‘My Stroke of Insight’ with presenter Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain scientist who had the opportunity to observe her own stroke. I’ve already shared it with dozens of close friends, though not you until now. It’s no secret – I have a wish to attend a TED conference one day, but it is sold out far, far in advance. Isn’t it profound that these ‘presentations-of-their-lives’ are available on the website the way they are?

But enough preamble. As an extension of the work being done at TED, Saturday May 10, 2008 (this Saturday) has been declared Pangea Day, a global event that will bring the world together through film.

“Starting at 2:00 PM Eastern (18:00 GMT) on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers.

The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.

The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from an international competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over one hundred countries.

The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes. Details on the Pangea Day films can be viewed here.”

There is much that can be said about Pangea Day but the upshot is this. Attend and watch, whether at your desk or in a small or large group as encouraged at the site. You’ll be able to watch the world watching the films too, as the organizers will be capturing live audience images and broadcasting them to us. Pure gold for coaches, students of humankind as we all are.

For more details click the continue reading link below to read the full email from TED Curator Chris Anderson, here is the Pangea site itself and here are just a few more words from Chris thought-process about the event:

“Of course, May 10th won’t lead to an outbreak of world peace.

But I do think it will reveal a sense of possibility: the possibility that there are incredible new ways of using technology as a force for good; that peoples’ minds are not locked in a dark place forever; that our global village can start the long journey from “us/them” to “we”.

As the Pangea Day website says: Films can’t change the world. But the people who watch them can.”
