If you’re developing a business that you’re marketing on the web (and yes, you should be), and bug-eyed about Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and how those crazy tools might change getting the kids to school and dinner on the table, you’re going to be looking for ways to balance all the moving parts of your life.

Work-life balance, or perhaps better said, work-life integration, is the issue of our time, no question. So setting clear, resonant goals and finding ways to get the things that are most important to you to show up on your schedule will be a key part of our work together.

In our work together you can expect to:
•    Establish your business/blogging goals in a way that allows you to maintain work-life balance.
•    Discover how to link your core values to your business plan.
•    Reduce your distractions.
•    Create a working schedule.
•    Design accountability structures that keep you moving forward.

As a professionally trained and certified Life Balance and Accountability Coach, I’ll make sure you know where you’re going by creating a plan that aligns who you are with what you do. I’ll also creating an action plan for working with the rest of the team, and help you tie things up… The bottom line: get ready for accomplishment, and yes, joy.

After successful careers in the arts and business, including corporate-level marketing, public relations, and nonprofit management, I’ve gathered a diverse range of experiences (often burning the candle at both ends) to match your biggest balance challenges. Through private coaching, workshops and teleclasses, I work with people to establish authentic, values-based practices and structures that support and sustain your busy, whole life. I live in Santa Barbara with my husband and son, who teaches us it’s possible to be card-carrying soccer parents while driving a hybrid.

As part of the SWR Program we will meet again at the end of your course to review the suggested action steps and how you can schedule and implement these activities. This accountability session will assist you in implementing this program.
