Hi and a BIG welcome to the new subscribers over the past few weeks!  On a personal note, I want to warmly welcome all those folks from my old high school (How many years ago was that?) who have located me (for the purposes of planning a reunion) and now subscribe to The Bright Side.  Isn't technology so cool???And, by the way, you all look EXACTLY the same, as I am sure I do.  ;)

 The Bright Side has been postponed for the past month due to some vacation time and also because of some exciting changes that have been going on here.  In this issue I would like to share some of those with you. Please understand it is in the spirit of informing you of the resources available to you through your affiliation with us that we present this. 

With Love,
Beth

What's New at Bright Side?
The following are some of the projects and happenings you may find of 
interest:

1. I am pleased to announce that I will be partnering with my good friend and colleague, Will Ryals, on some coaching projects this fall.  Will is a self-described 'recovering-attorney-turned-coach'.  That makes him a good guy!  If you want to contact him write: to wryals@mindspring.com.

We will be offering teleclasses and workshops on divorce recovery, personal development and male/female energy topics.  If you are not in the Atlanta area, no problem!  We will conduct these as teleclasses.  A TELECLASS is a bridge line that will accommodate ~30 callers who want to be a part of the call.  So, not to worry -- call from your house while sitting around in your pajamas -- nobody will know!  :)  Stay tuned for details!

2. I am also pleased to announce my new affiliation with Life Partner Quest.  The mission at Life Partner Quest is 'to promote fulfilling life partnerships by providing effective healthy and empowering support, information, and resources to singles and couples'.  See http://www.lifepartnerquest.com to learn more.  The benefit to you is that now my relationship coaching will have additional resources and programs for you to take advantage of!  Be on the lookout for future teleclasses offered in this area.

I am also a member of:
Coach University (a graduate in May 1999)
(http://www.coachu.com)
International Coach Federation (since March 1998)
(http://www. coachfederation.org)
Teen Coach (Since March 2000)
(http://www.TeenCoach.com)

3.  Did you also know that I answer questions about parenting at 
http://www.go-mom.com?  Check it out and send me a question if you have one.  I'd love to hear from you!

4. How about this one?  Here is a great new website community that my friend, Mike Marable, has set up.  I will be writing some articles there under the category of Personal Adventure.  Check it out at http://www.wisdombeach.com.

5. On our BrightSide Growth list, we are just finishing up a study on the fabulous little book called God on a Harley, by Joan Brady. 

Our next study of quotes (beginning 9/5/00) will come from the book called I Don't Want to Talk About It, by Terrence Real.  This is a book about men, communication and silent depression they sometimes incur.  Men, please participate and send this message to other men!  Women, we really need to 'get' this!  To participate, send an email to: subscribe@BrightSideCoaching.com and put 'subscribe growth' in the subject line.  You'll be glad you did! :)

What's Coaching All About?

I have been asked this question many times lately so I thought I would answer it here for you and explain about the process.  Coaching works and I am happy to share it with you!

A professional life coach is a catalyst who journeys with you from where you are to where you want to be.

This is conducted in person, email and via the telephone.  Most people like to experience coaching sessions from the comfort of their homes or offices so the telephone is the preferred method of delivery.  In between sessions the client is supported via email with encouragement and resources.

So why do most people hire a coach?  Here are some reasons that Coach 
University has found and also some that I have found in my own work. 
Why People Hire a Coach

1. For greater sustainable results in less time. Goals!
2. For a higher quality of life.
3. For stronger communication skills and relationships.
4. For greater self-esteem.
6. To understand how to make better decisions.
7. For greater clarity professionally and personally.
8. For spiritual development and support.
9. To focus on a life plan, mission and vision.
10. To learn to love oneself via extreme self-care.

If you would like to explore coaching further, please contact me for more information.  I would love to partner with you in designing the life you truly desire!

Special Invitation!

 FREE!  I will offer a free 30 minute phone coaching session in September to 20 Bright Side subscribers. There is no obligation on your part to become a client. I will help you all I can in 30 minutes for free. This is a **first come first served** offer, and you must email me 
(Beth@BrightSideCoaching.com) with some facts and details about what you want coaching on. I coach in many areas, but some areas I do not coach in, and some people who email me for coaching need other types of professional help outside my expertise. So if you are interested in a free coaching session to see what it is like and perhaps help yourself with a problem, challenge, or situation, email me, and tell me your age, occupation and problem (s) you face. I will get back to you as soon as possible with a reply. Simple as that.  "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
