Greetings!
It’s time for the Big Dance! For those of us
who love college basketball, March is our
favorite month. Conference tournaments then
the national tournament leading down to the
Final Four. That said, I’ve been thinking of
a dance in another way. Dance of the ballroom
sort.
In this month’s feature
article, you
can learn how the tango turns out to be a
great metaphor for personal growth and
leadership. You can also catch a clip of
Argentine Tango at its finest. It’s all about
carrying your own weight, staying in balance,
leading, following and knowing where you’re
going. Combined, it leads to great
performance. Intrigued? View the clip and
read the article, It Takes Two to
Tango, below.
This month we’re also announcing some changes
to our teleclasses. First, we’ve received
requests for different days and times. To
accommodate your schedules, we’re now
offering classes during the daytime for
Eastern time zones and on weekends. We’ve
also changed conferencing companies to a
service that offers greater flexibility and
more options. Finally, we’ve been getting
more and more requests for coaching on
building sales through eMarketing.
To
help meet this need, we’re offering a four
week teleclass called Building your
Buzz on permission marketing that covers
creating websites, blogs, and
eZines/newsletters. There’ll be two free
sneak peek classes for Building your
Buzz during the month of March that will
give a full intro to the course plus a chance
for Q&A. To learn about all of the class
offerings for March, click on the
“Teleclasses” link on the left of this email
(or scroll down).
I want to thank everyone who has responded to
Forty
Days Forward. I’ve received many emails
and the program is sparking great
conversations. The program continues through
March and into April as we move from
reflection into planning, letting go, and
giving. You’re invited to join (or continue)
this journey into your best life. And don’t
forget, there are many options for
participating. To learn more, click here.
The month of March is sometimes characterized
as “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” That’s
because weather-wise, March marks the
transition between seasons. The last fierce
winter storms blow across the northern
hemisphere, soon to be replaced by sunny warm
days. It’s also the time when migrating birds
start to get zugunruhe, the restlessness that
precedes migration. At Zugunruhe Coaching,
we’re getting some migratory restlessness of
our own. Changes are in the works that will
bring new personnel and offerings to you.
Stay tuned for details coming soon. In the
meantime, I hope that the transitions of life
and seasons are kind to you.
Peace in your days,
Tara

It Takes Two to Tango
What dancing can teach you about leadership and life
Humans love dancing. Dance figures heavily
in culture and ritual throughout human
history. Even when you’re not good at
dancing, it’s still fun. Watching people
dance is a popular thing to do, as any fan of
Dancing with the Stars can attest.
In ballroom dance, there’s a very short
feedback loop. You get internal feedback (how
you feel and where you are in space) and
external feedback (how the other person
responds to you or getting your toes stepped
on). If your form is not solid, no one can
dance with you, literally or figuratively.
Take a look at this
video clip. Here, you’ll see two people
possessing excellent form who are completely
in tune with each other (the really fancy
footwork starts around 1 minute, 50 seconds
into the clip). Leadership is much like the
tango....

inner voice.

There are many paths to finding the sacred in

earth rituals, and others, Amy Johnson and
Tara Robinson will coach participants about
ways to:

busyness to create time and space for what is
most important to you
- Listen for your inner voice and identify
what is individually sacred
- Create space and time in everyday life
to honor yourself as beloved and to recognize
and respect that which is sacred in and to
you

Selling without Cold Calls
Build your Buzz on the web
When lots of people know and like you,
selling is easy. There’s no cold calling.
Instead, sales come to you by referral or
based on your past performance. But how do
you build those kinds of relationships in
today’s information-flooded, fast-paced
market?
One way is by building a web
presence
that allows your potential customers to meet
and get to know you in advance. When you
establish rapport with visitors to your
websites, contacts pre-qualify themselves and
start coming to you, allowing you to do what
you do best: sell.
Building your Buzz: Harnessing the power
of permission and service marketing is a
four week class that will set you on the path
to building a solid virtual presence for you
and your business. You’ll learn:
- the steps of creating a website from
domain names to going live on the web.
- how and why to create a blog to market
your business and yourself.
- the ins-and-outs of permission based
marketing using eZines and newsletters.
- finding your creative voice to get good
copy for your website, blog, and newsletter.
You’ll have multiple ways to learn the
material from hand-outs for every class,
packed with resources and information, to
on-line discussions that you can participate
in at any time of the day or night. Every
week, you’ll get a full hour of instruction
from a professor who not only knows the
material but uses every day.
You’ll
also receive individual attention in the form
of full hour of coaching, one entire personal
session, focused on your building your
personal strategy and plans to execute what
you’ve learned. At the end of the four week
course, you’ll walk away with a plan, your
plan, with all the steps filled in, arm
loads of resources, and the knowledge to
build your buzz and starting drawing
customers to you.
The course begins on Sunday, April 15, 2007
and ends on Sunday, May 6. The lectures will
be delivered weekly at 7 pm Eastern (4 pm
Pacific) via teleconference bridgeline so
that anyone, anywhere, may attend. Access to
the internet is required to carry out
in-class and out of class exercises. No fancy
software needed, any (current) internet
browser will do.
The cost of the
course is just $59. Class size is limited.
