				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When a client comes to me because they are feeling stuck, we dig deep and get to the heart of the matter quickly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently a client came to me because they were feeling guilty about not doing something that they felt obliged to do, and they wanted to make sure they were still living in integrity by declining the request.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tin-can-phone.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1790 alignright" alt="tin-can-phone" src="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tin-can-phone.jpg" width="156" height="117" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The person that was holding the &#8220;keys&#8221; to my clients behavior, was someone they respected.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">My client was feeling manipulated by the statement of &#8220;<strong><em>If you want to be successful you would&#8230;</em></strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">The attempted use of emotional blackmail is an ego driven behavior. If you are vulnerable to its use, then it is not only the other person that has an issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is time to retrain your brain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Does that shock you?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Become aware: <strong>Your brain is wired to accept and expect that type of manipulation</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">If it was not wired in that way, the use of emotional blackmail would not work on you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Does that make sense to you?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>It&#8217;s time you let go of the binds that hold you, and I offer you the class from our Living Consciously Education Program called &#8220;Retrain The Brain.&#8221;</p>
<p>On May 23rd, I am offering a free 30-minute call to those who would like to understand the tools we use in the program &#8220;Retrain The Brain.&#8221;</p>
<p>During this call you will learn a technique to retrain your brain &#8211; this 10-minute exercise will transform your belief about change. You can also watch this YouTube Video called &#8220;<a href="http://youtu.be/NQmOir5Rers" target="_self">Neuroplasticity: Neurons that Fire Together Wire Together</a>&#8221; to prepare you for our class.</p>
<p>In our class we will use creative visualization to teach you a simple technique.  Learn that change is not hard.</p>
</div>
<div id="id_519a2cbaefa4c0156680391" style="text-align: justify;">details will be sent to your email address<br />
Time: May 23, 2013 from 10am to 10:30am<br />
Location: Phone<br />
Website or Map: <a href="http://bizrichment.com/telecourses/retrain-the-brain-2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">http://bizrichment.com/telecourses/retrain-the-brain-2/</a><br />
Event Type: teleclass, -, over, the, phone, free!<br />
Instructor: Karen Monteverdi, CPC<em>*If you register for this call through the BizRichment website, you will receive a free copy of my fun power tool: The Yeah But Hunter:</em>The “Yeah-But” vs The “Yeah-But Hunter&#8221; power tool designed by Karen Monteverdi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><em>When our clients are facing real life challenges and have so many excuses why their plan of action will not work; sometimes we hear yeah-but, yeah-but, and yeah-but. At this point we may have to use every power tool available. The “Yeah-But Hunter” combines all of the International Coach Academy power tools to move the client forward. Learning to use fun and being a bit ridiculous when up against the client’s mode of operation can be effective for a new perspective.</em></div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday was a milestone for us, over here at GreenMountain Enrichment and Empowerment Center. We had our first graduate of the 1-year long program Stepping into Deserving With Grace.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Laura Wilson, CPC, also known as Love Coach Laura.</p>
<p>When I met Laura, she was already an amazing coach, who had graduated from the International Coach Academy. Laura was confident about her coaching abilities, and felt as though she had so much to offer the world. As I met with her and listened to her story, I knew she was right. Laura did have so much to offer the world.</p>
<p>Laura found me through our free live teleclass <a href="http://gotocoach.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f6b50e9bb4e5531d15750d05d&amp;id=1492cfba3c&amp;e=1b6bd2de58">Abundance Block Identification For Small Business Owners, Solo-Entrepreneurs and Individuals</a>. This program is part of our Deserving With Grace Series.</p>
<p>Laura knew she needed a solid foundation for her business. After graduation, she was spinning her wheels, wondering where her clients would come from. She was hoping they would show up at her door. She was so confident that someone would come. But after a few months of that, she realized she needed to get help. We were perfectly aligned to help her, in the right time and the right place.</p>
<p>Laura was great, she actually had very few abundance blocks, but they were big ones. Most of the little ones she was able to break through during that first hour of class.</p>
<p>Over the next few months, she gained her confidence to build a system for her clients. The system was so powerful she was able to increase her rates. Her personal growth allowed her to get out of her way and build the foundation she was looking for.</p>
<p>Laura completed our program with a system, that would forever empower and enrich the lives of those she served. Love Coach Laura at <a href="http://www.transitionswithlaura.com">http://www.transitionswithlaura.com</a>.</p>
<p>Meet this dynamic and heart-centered Dating/Relationship Coach.<br />
&#8220;Love Coach Laura&#8221; works internationally as a coach, author, guest blogger, speaker, and a lover of love!</p>
<p>You can experience her passion as she inspires her audience to bring their uniqueness to the world. Beauty and gifts begin to flourish when you work with Love Coach Laura. Her knowledge and expertise frees you as she shows you the power of a supportive healthy relationship, and how it is the foundation of what we as humans need.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Friday I received a request to help a young coach create a book cover product image for her latest ebook, so she can sell the eBook on her website.</p>
<h2>Working To Move You From Dreaming To Doing!</h2>
<p>BizRichment<em>™</em> is a business enrichment program to help those graduating from one of the following types of service based educational processes, schools or college, begin to navigate the world of entrepreneurship:</p>
<p>Naturopathic, Chinese Medicine, Massage School, Somatic Bodywork, Coaching Schools, Medical Students, Healing Arts, Sociology, Mystical Education, Social Arts, etc.</p>
<p>Life Skills Training &amp; Living Consciously Education For Individuals are for those who aspire to own a business within the next year. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It takes self-motivation, self-awareness, and let’s face it a lot of courage. You want to make a difference in the world. You have a product or service that if people knew about it, used it, it would make their life easier, happier and more fulfilled.</p>
<p>You’ve taken the steps to gain your education, you’re ready to begin your practice.</p>
<p>As a healers, business and life coach I often come across tools to help my clients live a life that is enriching an empowering.</p>
<p>When working with new healers, coaches an spiritual leaders who are starting to create their online presence we want them to use as many free resources as possible. The reason for this is, sustainability. The fewer resources you need to pay for the easier it is to turn a profit during the first year.</p>
<p>As an example I used my latest eBook Deserving With Grace</p>
<p><a href="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Deserving_Book.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1743" style="border: 10px solid blue;" alt="Deserving_Book" src="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Deserving_Book-231x300.jpeg" width="231" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are the tutorials. This is an overview of how to use several products, where to find images, and how to create your eBook Cover</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Purpose of Map – Create your personal awareness of how you think, feel, and emote about a subject&#8230;. (This is one aspect of Self-Knowledge):<br />
When you are ready to transform and create a breakthrough about a subject it is important to know what is true for you. We recognize from working with hundreds of clients, and reading a plethora of case studies from universities, psychology, business, and listening to feedback that one of the most effective tools for discovery today is the Mind Map.<br />
Since its explosion onto the scene in the personal growth industry there have been many iterations of the original. Mind mapping has become a business all its own, you can download templates, flow charts, and even buy expensive software now days, to create a Mind Map.<br />
The original idea though still comes from psychology and Sigmund Freud called free association. James Strachey considered free association as &#8216;<em>the first instrument for the scientific examination of the human mind</em>.ʼ<br />
We use the Mind Map as a way for you to control the information you are asking about, to create a personal map to how your own mind works. The process we have chosen to use is considered a magnetic map, which allows you to recognize how you personally are polarized about a subject. Todayʼs subject is abundance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now as a new coach, you are ready to start you business. Yes?<br />
During the next few blog posts we will discuss the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The 9 areas of your business that must be healthy to grow professionally</li>
<li>Understand the service you provide from the customers viewpoint</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/464876_10200255180015608_425681545_o.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-1713" alt="464876_10200255180015608_425681545_o" src="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/464876_10200255180015608_425681545_o-1024x560.jpg" width="600" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>This evening I&#8217;m watching the sun set over the Willamette River with Sean.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re enjoying the view an relaxing after finishing the last day of our four week TeleCourse &#8211; Living Consciously: Healing The Heart Series.</p>
<p>The greatest gift of healing the heart is bringing your love and laughter back into your practice.</p>
<p>I know too many coaches, body work practitioners and spiritual healers who are struggling to find clients.</p>
<p>So I created a 4-week TeleCourse free series to help bring back the joy in their heart. This is a natural client attractor when you discover:</p>
<ul>
<li>You Are An Amazing Creator</li>
<li>Designed To Be The Perfect Attractor</li>
<li>Set Up For A Life Of Service With Heart &amp; Soul</li>
<li>You Are Perfectly Designed For Greatness!</li>
</ul>
<p>It was a totally different experience for me. The difference was the thread of joy that exists in my heart. Though many people signed up for the course, few actually came. I was discouraged by that, especially after receiving some great tips and training at The Big Shift. But something amazing happened, I started receiving emails from those who listened at home. Guess what was happening&#8230; they began to manifest clients. They began to heal their heart. They began to feel love and joy again. That was the goal. It was a free gift to my community. It was received.</p>
<p>Are you ready to receive joy and infuse love back into your business and life? Stop wasting time searching for bright shiny objects. Learn practical and heart centered ways to increase your attractors by falling back in love with the person running your business. The feedback we received was awesome. If you missed the event you can still take a look at what you missed. I&#8217;m offering the recordings for the next 30-days.</p>

<p>This was posted on my facebook page by Katherine Wilkinson who was at home taking the course.</p>
<blockquote>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;" data-ft="{&quot;type&quot;:1,&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}"><em>I listened to &#8220;Healing the Heart #1 &#8211; and gained a huge insight.<br />
Because of my personal situation, and young years experiences, my mind took over my heart.<br />
My heart rule was stronger until my present situation.<br />
Listening to what Karen has and is teaching is turning &#8220;ME&#8221; around to gain more Confidence, Clarity and Love to me, for me and to others&#8230;<br />
</em></h5>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;" data-ft="{&quot;type&quot;:1,&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}"><em>&#8230;I am turning off my mind chatter, letting is come and sending it out on a treadmill out of my mind letting my &#8220;HEART RULE&#8221; as I did many years ago.<br />
I am currently working in a job(teaching music) that I love but the atmosphere attitude is not the best for me but I send out LOVE silently to each, particularly the studio owner.<br />
We can change the WORLD but it begins with one small part from one person and I am going to be ONE of those people.<br />
Karen gives so much and although confusion may set in the more I listen, the more I learn.<br />
<strong>I am eager to listen again to all that is available.</strong><br />
A huge &#8220;Thank you&#8221; and a Grateful Heart to Karen. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/katherine.wilkinson.395?group_id=0" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100001111592712&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22group_id%22%3A0%7D">Katherine Wilkinson</a></em></h5>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a couple of weeks, since returning from Bill Baren&#8217;s &#8211; Big Shift Experience. This was a gift from <a href="http://www.coachesconsole.com/cmd.php?af=834335">The Coach&#8217;s Console</a>. My back office management system. I love <a href="http://www.coachesconsole.com/cmd.php?af=834335">The Coach&#8217;s Console</a> and after this gift they have a client for life!</p>
<p>During the 4 days an 3 nights, we met over 500 &#8220;Conscious Business&#8221; people. The biggest shift for me was, seeing so many &#8220;Conscious Business&#8221; people together in one room.<br />
In my book Living Consciously In An Ego Driven Society we speak about the community of people who are here to help you.<br />
The community has spread, and there are new leaders opening their doors everyday. This has turned into a movement of inspire action.</p>
<p>The movement is to consciously create our world into a a new place, and to create a new reality&#8230;</p>
<p>My mission has not changed over the years, but how I express it has.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I help healers, coaches and spiritual leaders whose drive is Living Consciously. Through our distant learning courses, intensive trainings and coaching programs I have built a team to assist my clients to build a conscious life and business.  I continue to teach, train and coach; to create inner-peace. Our method exposes ego as a sign post that &#8220;Illuminates The Dark Corners Of Your Bright Ideas<sup>TM</sup>&#8220;. Once illuminated, we awaken, we see the simplicity of life. </em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Feel the power in your truth. Please post your elevator speech in the comment section.</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>The book Living Consciously; In An Ego Driven Society is a non-linear guide to this process. It is an account of how I personally have been using these tools and techniques for decades. It offers you solutions. Every time you read it, you will see something new that is designed for you from where you are now, in the stage of your conscious awareness. You intentionally are learning and living consciously.</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I was going through my client list and revisiting what they got out of our teleclass or in-person workshops. This little act reaffirmed that:</p>
<h1>My Clients Are Awesome!</h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After taking our class one client told me that they don&#8217;t things so personally anymore, they&#8217;re no longer reactive and allow others to have their own experience. This allowed them during a recent conflict with an employer to recognize that the employer was in ego. He realized what the employer was saying was honestly the employers&#8217; belief. This <em><strong>created a new situation of peace</strong></em> in their heart even though they were <strong><em>being fired.</em></strong> It <strong><em>was a gift,</em></strong> previously if something like this would have happened the client would have been kicking themselves, and honestly probably would have gone out and gotten drunk. Or the other scenario he pointed out was that he would have held on to the resentment until he made himself physically ill. <strong><em>Today</em></strong> he&#8217;s looking forward to a better opportunity for employment. Low and behold it happened&#8230; <strong><em>He found his dream job!</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This leads us to one of the highest light ethics and codes we share in our classes&#8230; let go so something better can come in.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">There is always a gift that can be found through Self-Knowledge.</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is true, recently in one of my coaching groups a coach who was offering career coaching, also had a client who was fired. Do you know the same thing happened to his client. <strong><em>H</em><em>e received three offers that were better</em></strong> than the job he &#8220;just lost&#8221;. Coaching is transforming our planet, clients<em></em><strong><em> find inner peace and open up to possibilities</em></strong> that before they would have never seen. They would have been too busy judging the events, people and circumstances to see the gifts, grace and gratitude.</p>
<p>So I want to share with you what has happened to some of my clients who have taken the class</p>
<h3>Self-Knowledge is Self-Power</h3>
<p>One client decided to let go of the resentment and to stay with his family to &#8220;help out&#8221; during a rough time. The rough time is over and <strong><em>his is free to move about the planet.</em></strong> They <strong><em>found peace, and opportunity</em></strong> in the end. They now have a much better relationship with their family, and cleared out a lot of long held &#8220;stories&#8221; to now receive the love that is offered.</p>
<p>One client, discovered her <strong><em>&#8220;ability to express herself.&#8221;</em></strong> She quit her administration job and opened a yoga process for the blind.</p>
<p>One client, after creating relief from an injury found her spiritual heart and is now <strong><em>offering her &#8220;special gift</em></strong> of Intuition along with&#8230; practical experience and training in business matters&#8221;.</p>
<p>One client, <em><strong>discovered their ability</strong></em> to not allow their &#8220;disability&#8221; to get in the way of <strong><em>making a difference in the world</em></strong>! She now says &#8220;I have been dealt a hand that at times has been the hardest challenge I could ever imagine and at other times has been the best teacher I have known.&#8221;</p>
<p>One client, discovered how being her best allows her to <strong><em>see clearly what needs to be said or done to attract new business.</em></strong> We asked the question and she found the answer by letting go of self-criticism which as she says put her <strong><em>&#8220;At The Top Of My Game&#8221;</em></strong> and attracted new business.</p>
<p>One client had a 6-year dry spell he was an author who couldn&#8217;t write a single word on the page. His social anxiety was stopping him, it was through our classes and coaching he opened himself up to <em><strong>begin writing again</strong></em> (which was his goal) and had <strong><em>&#8220;no social anxiety</em></strong> going into the Christmas Party&#8221;, December 2011.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We had two different companies who were having issues with their staff including &#8220;gossip&#8221;, bickering, blaming others, general dissatisfaction, complaining, too many sick days, high turn over rates. Our professional clients were <em><strong>r</strong><strong>eady to resolve their internal issues and work with their employees.</strong></em> This saves them time, money <em><strong>provides stress relief that affects the bottom line.</strong></em> We offer solution-based coaching for a healthier work environment.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After coaching with our staff one client created such a shift he started a program at his office for others to create empowerment at work. Why is this significant? When we are not happy at work, we love our job but other people&#8217;s attitude is getting in the way it can be drudgery to get up and do what we love to do. <strong><em>He found a way to be the change he wanted to be in the world.</em></strong> He did this by offering his company training to let encourage positive employee interaction. Because he was a coach <strong><em>he was able to work with us to create his own program</em></strong> to be the change he wanted to see in the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We noticed one amazing thing about our clients. All of them, <em><strong>came to our classes</strong></em> trying to figure out how they <em><strong>could make other do something, they left realizing the power was theirs</strong></em> to be the change they wanted to see. Learning to let go of their &#8220;strife&#8221; they learned how they could<em><strong> effect their environment to be a conduit of peace.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you would like to <strong><em>see this shift happen within you</em></strong>, you are not alone. We recognize one other fact, each one of our clients couldn&#8217;t do it on their own. They were able to r<strong><em>each out for help</em></strong>, this makes them very courageous in my book! I see people who come to our classes or companies who ask us to design a class just for them as <strong><em>opening up to possibilities that never existed before.</em></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The topic is usually offering information about my #1 best selling book; <em><strong>Living Consciously; In An Ego Driven Society.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I started by offering <strong>Podcasting</strong> in 2008. My podcasts were picked up by iTunes in 2009 and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I was presented the honor of being New and Notable</span> for several months. I loved it.<br />
I have found this great <a title="Opens iTunes Podcast Info Page" href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/" target="_blank">informational page</a> if you would like to begin Podcasting through iTunes. Of course we can always help if you want to talk or submit questions about my own personal experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I discovered for me, radio interviews were a lot of fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Coach_Andrew_flag.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-926 alignright" style="border: 10px solid white;" alt="Coach_Andrew_flag" src="http://karen.gotocoach.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Coach_Andrew_flag-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a> In 2009, I was offered an interview on the <strong>BlogTalk Radio</strong> show: <a title="Opens Coaches Corner W/Andrew Poretz" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/coachandrew/2010/09/28/coaches-corner-with-guest-karen-monteverdi" target="_blank">Coaches Corner with The Voice Coach Andrew Poretz</a>.

<p style="text-align: justify;">I found out later that <a title="Opens Coaches Corner W/Andrew Poretz" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/coachandrew/2010/09/28/coaches-corner-with-guest-karen-monteverdi" target="_blank">my spot hit #1</a>, and today is still one of his top 10 radio spots&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Here are my 6-tips about being on the radio&#8230;</strong></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>If you are nervous say you are, the host often will help you relax. They are experts at making their guests feel at home. A great way to strip away the nervousness is to research your host. Find out how you can play and interact with them, even if you are discussing something very serious. It creates a rich experience for the audience, and it opens up an opportunity for the audience to know you are approachable.</li>
<li>Decide your topic of choice, then write down your bullet points. Stay Conscious and Focused on your topic to allow your audience to clearly understand and stay interested.</li>
<li>Take the listeners through a journey of your personal experience about your topic. People love personal stories that they can resonate with in their own experience of life.</li>
<li>Offer other resources and experiences besides your own. You are the expert, and it further shows you are, by offering your resources. People want to pick your brain rather than do all the leg work themselves. If they know you have done your homework, and know your topic from several viewpoints it gives them more confidence to talk to you.</li>
<li>At the end make sure you clearly let people know, if they want more information about your topic, how they can reach you. Offer them a free gift, consultation or opportunity to register for an event you are producing. Allow them to buy your books, CD&#8217;s or other offers you can share to help them expand their knowledge. Be generous, but humble about your offering. Do not over hype your offer, and be truthful for long term loyal followers.</li>
<li>Always improve your message. Ask for feedback from friends and experts who will share honestly what they think.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now this is how I personally use <strong>tip #6 IMPROVE YOUR MESSAGE:</strong> I ask for your help.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The topic is:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Living Consciously In An Ego Driven Society&#8221;. During the show &#8220;GOTOCOACH,&#8221; Karen, will be talking about how Living Consciously In An Ego Driven Society is a process and non-linear guide to understanding the depths of self-awareness.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Each time we do what is right and true for us</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>We tell ourselves that we are good enough, </strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Powerful enough, strong enough and </strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Worthy of the life we have; </strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>We put this positive energy into our world.</strong> </span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Making a better world is not only our responsibility; it is our joy, our blessing and a way we can make our lasting mark on our home.</p>
