Last week you read about my breakdown, when I buckled under self-imposed pressure. I shared with you what it feels like for me when I hit the wall going my signature 180 miles per hour. I contemplated giving up and that is so not like me. In this article I want to share with you what the methods are that I use to pull myself out of a funk and through my dark tunnels. I’ve designed a method that I call K.A.R.L. that is my trusted helper and the one man I rely on no matter what.  Step 1: KNOW Using the first letter of K.A.R.L. we take a step back and give the situation as much of an … [Read more...]

If you are easily distracted, the one thing you need—focus—is not always easy to find. By Beate Chelette I call it a helicopter brain and maybe you experience the same thing.  I have gotten so busy lately, and there are so many thoughts in my head, that I have to schedule absolutely everything so I don’t forget!  Between coaching, editing my new book, event speaking, interviews, consulting and being the mom of an aspiring and talented young woman, I once again find myself wondering if I can actually get it all done. I know I’m not the only one who wonders that, as our lives … [Read more...]

The vast majority of working women today want a more realistic way to achieve success.  By Beate Chelette They are currently America’s most famous female executives. Marissa Mayer, Yahoo’s CEO and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg are today's biggest role models on juggling business and family.  Both are wives and mothers of young children and competing for their attention is nothing less than leadership of two of the biggest tech companies in the world.  No small feat and we congratulate and appreciate them for encouraging women to stay in the game and aim for more.

When To Stay Put, Change, Or Move On Your business will tell you which is right for you. By Beate Chelette More than three months after Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast, entire neighborhoods are still struggling to overcome the devastation. Homes remain under rubble, many others are uninhabitable, and weary residents debate whether to move or rebuild.  A natural disaster zeroes in on the question of when to stay put, when to change or just move on. Change is great when you have successfully gone through it, but I don’t know anyone who enjoys the usually painful process of … [Read more...]

Recently, a client of mine called very upset about some bad news. A lucrative new government work project she believed was set to begin had just fallen through.  It wasn’t her fault, the directors in Washington D.C. decided to put the project on hold. Convinced she would not have the cash flow to meet her kids’ tuition, she went into a hole filled with fear and a persistent loop of doomsday thoughts. I know what that’s like. I’ve been there, so for close to an hour, I talked to her about the importance of finding acceptance and disconnecting from her negative, dire thoughts. I’d … [Read more...]

One of the best arguments I know for setting goals could be an ad for a Global Positioning System (or GPS).  Unless you know where you want to go, you can’t figure out a way to get there. It’s true for all aspects of our lives, personal, family and career.  Even so, just having goals without defining them, in very specific terms, is a useless exercise. More or less we all want the same things.  Health, a great relationship, intimacy, family, wealth and an exciting career. You may have a general idea of wanting to make more money, of getting a better job or being in a relationship, but … [Read more...]
