52 | My personal life story

Have you signed up for the Value Workshop with Caryn Gillen yet? If not, register here. After a year of podcasting, I thought sharing a little about me would be fun so you know who I am. Well, get ready. I started from the beginning and gave you a chronological overview of my entire life. 🤣 I share about my childhood in Minnesota, the big move, high school in El Paso, Texas, and college in Denton, Texas. Then, my "be-crazy-before-I-get-tied-down" decision to move to California, where I made a defining decision that changed the course of my life. Then, I moved to Kansas City, Missouri, to work as the Girl's Program Director in an inner-city ministry. In Kansas City, met my husband, and we grew our family. Life was so good. I recognize and continue to see the blessings I was given in my life - things I had no control over and others I worked hard for and chose.  In 2016 came the hardest challenge of our lives - my son's c5-c6 spinal cord injury. I share how I started my organizing business, how life coaching came into my life, my decision to get certified, and how I transitioned my business to fully coaching online and then changed my niche to helping coaches organize their businesses.  Whew! I go through it quickly. Hopefully, you feel like a friend now!  I'd love to hear your story. Tag me on Instagram to share your story or ask me questions. Maybe I'll do a follow-up "get to know me" episode in the future.    Click here for the full transcript, notes, links, and more. Ready to organize your business and your digital files?

51 | How Values Can Help Organize Your Business with Caryn Gillen

Guess what! Caryn has offered to host a Values Workshop for my listeners and students! You won't want to miss this. Register now by clicking here. Caryn Gillen helps coaches build spacious lives and businesses so they can live the dream they had when they first became coaches. 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. The key moments in this episode are: What are values? Where do they come from? Caryn defines "values." How do we figure out what our values are? Caryn shares two questions to ask yourself: When was there a time in my life when I felt out of alignment? Angered? Stuck? When was there a time in my life when I was totally in flow? Electric? How do our values manifest in our business, and what is the best way to intentionally use them? How do we use values as we coach our clients?  What do I do when two values come up against each other? Caryn is a master at asking questions.  She shares some intriguing ways to help yourself and your clients. The itchy sweater exercise... so good! Some of my favorite things she says are: "Someday is here!" Cozy pants. "Values are here for you to expand." Tag @caryngillen and @tracyhoth on Instagram and share your values and takeaways from this episode.   Click here for the full transcript, notes, links, and more.

50 | The ONE Thing That Will Stop Overwhelm

>>> Purchase the Idea Tracker Dashboard today for an exclusive invitation to the FREE workshop on 4/15/24. During the workshop, I'll walk you step-by-step through setting up and customizing your Idea Dashboard. With all your ideas organized, you'll never wonder where that "thing you wanted to remember" is again.  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?    Click here for the full transcript, notes, links, and more. Ready to organize your business and your digital files?

49 | 6 Ways to Help Your Clients Have More Success

Purchase the Idea Tracker today (the price goes up on 4/16/24) and be automatically registered for the free workshop on April 15 at 12:00 PM Central Time. In the workshop, I will help you set up your Idea Tracker Dashboard, learn some easy formatting tricks, customize it with your categories, and walk away feeling organized and ready to input all your ideas. 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.   Click here for the full transcript, notes, links, and more.

You are eligible to register for our live event as well, and as a bonus, you will be included in the monthly VIP calls when you join now. 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,  Paper habits, and Collection 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.   Click here for the full transcript, notes, links, and more.
