I was honored to have this casual conversation with her for this episode, during which I had so many aha moments as we talked about values and how they shape our businesses. Plus, I asked all the questions to get her take on how we use values to organize everything from our digital files to our processes and decisions.

• What are values? Where do they come from? Caryn defines "values."

• When was there a time in my life when I felt out of alignment? Angered? Stuck?

Some of my favorite things she says are:

Overwhelm. We all have felt it.

But the question is, what do you do when you feel overwhelmed?

When was the last time you felt overwhelmed? How often do you feel overwhelmed? What does overwhelm feel like in your body? Then what? What happens next for you?

Overwhelm is a feeling, an emotion in our body. Our emotions are a result of what we are thinking. The first thing to do is figure out what thought is causing you to feel the emotion of overwhelm.

Then, remember, your thoughts are optional. No matter what your circumstances are or what facts are happening outside of you, how you decide to think about them is optional. It's your choice. And that choice, the thought you decide to think, will cause you to feel an emotion. 

We have the option to change our thoughts which will change our emotions, but it's not always easy.

This ONE thing will help you change your thoughts. It's an action step for you to take when you feel overwhelmed. 

Let the feeling of being overwhelmed be your SIGNAL to do this exercise. This is the ONE thing. 

And guess what? This one thing is also the first step to getting organized. By practicing this exercise, you are also practicing the organizing steps! A win-win!

Let me know how it goes. Did it help? Did it shift your feeling of overwhelm?

In this episode, I'm delving into six specific ways to refine your coaching program so your students can experience more success and rave about their experiences in your course and with you as their coach.

I drew insights from my students' feedback, the changes I'm making inside Organized Coach Academy, and my personal experiences in the courses and coaching programs I've been in.

Key Points:

➡️  Include a table of contents

Explore the significance of providing a comprehensive table of contents for your coaching program. Learn how it offers clarity and helps students/clients navigate course content efficiently.

➡️  Provide Checklists for Each Module

Adding a checklist can streamline the learning process for participants, fostering a sense of accomplishment as they check items off, track their progress, stay motivated, and celebrate wins.

➡️  Share how you (as the expert) would do it 

Share your expertise on how YOU, as the expert, recommend that they navigate through your program. Guide participants on the ideal approach to maximize their learning experience.

➡️  Review and Recap

Consider incorporating periodic review sessions to reinforce where documents and trainings are, remind them of important features, tour the portal, and assist participants in tracking their progress effectively.

➡️  Open Communication and Feedback

Emphasize the importance of establishing an environment conducive to open communication. Encourage participants to seek clarification, ask questions, and provide feedback on their learning journey.

➡️  Make everything searchable

When you teach your students and clients to search your content for the answers, you empower them. But you need to make it easy! Videos are not searchable, so be sure to include a synopsis with the key search terms or the transcripts in written form so they can find what they are looking for.

Implementing these strategies can transform your coaching program, enrich participants' learning experiences, and enable tangible progress toward their goals.

Reflect on these insights and identify one area within your coaching program where you can improve using one of the six ways to client success.

Is your home organized? Do you love coming home and being in your home?

In this episode, I share my insights about home organization.

I share my definition of being "organized," what area of my home is a complete pile of clutter, and what I think about maintaining organization.

As a Professional Organizer for over 15 years, I have been in hundreds of people's homes. I've seen it all. When I'm in a home with abundant stuff, I am overwhelmed. I could not get or stay organized with so much stuff. You have to start by reducing the amount of stuff.

There are three ways to reduce what comes into your home by becoming aware of your

• Buying habits, 

Your current home, cabinets, drawers, and closets are the "containers" you must work with. When reducing your things to fit in your "container," start by choosing your favorites—the things you love and use often. Then you can move to the remaining items. This helps make decision-making easier. 

Our 3-fold approach this year in Organized Life Academy includes a monthly decluttering focus, a mindset focus to help you create an organized person's identity, and quarterly projects. 

Listen to the episode to learn more. If you are ready to make organizing your home and life fun and don't want to try to figure it out alone, join us now in Organized Life Academy.

Are you an organized coach?

In this episode, I share six habits an organized coach does daily. Developing these six habits will help you be more organized. These six habits have the power to help you accomplish what you set out to do. They will help you stay focused and produce more value and stay out of being overwhelmed and confused. 

As you listen, think of which ones you are already doing. Celebrate this. It is evidence that you are an organized coach.

Then, choose ONE habit that you want to start doing or improving. The best way to create a new habit is to tie it to something you already do. In the beginning, until it becomes a habit, hang a note or add a reminder or an appointment in your calendar so you don't forget.

DM me on Instagram and share what habit(s) you think needs to be added to this list. 

Until next time, happy habit developing!
