If you know me, you know I'm going to enjoy giving this presentation!

Mindset Shift: Unlocking the Invisible Tool for Business Growth
Fri, Sep 25 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM
Ohio SBDC at Lorain County Community College
The Richard Desich Business and Entrepreneurship Center (DEC)

https://clients.ohiosbdc.ohio.gov/workshop.aspx?ekey=83460025

This workshop will help you recognize the difference between a mindset that fuels business growth and one that quietly restricts it and will cover how to make that shift. We'll explore the relationship between business circumstances, our thoughts, behaviors, and results.

We will cover:
- growth mindset (vs. fixed)
- a managed mind (vs. an unmanaged mind)
- abundance (vs. scarcity)
- productive mindset (vs. numbing and crazy busy)
- neutral thinking (vs. positive or negative thinking)
- a productive view of goals (vs. a problematic one)

It’s Everest season. And whatever life changing idea you’ve been carrying, but not quite ready to even call a goal, is getting its season too.

Here’s why this is a big deal to me.

As a solo practice, my limitations were your limitations. Anything that wasn’t authentic to me wasn’t available to you.

Accountability coaching was the biggest gap. It’s not in my nature, and I knew it. I wasn’t willing to offer it poorly just to check a box. So I waited. I waited for the right person, with the right gifts, who could do with authenticity what I could not.

And then I met Kristin Gulling, and everything changed. I’m thrilled to introduce you to her as the next coach in our Ecosystem. She’ll be leading the OWNERSHIP community as well as offering one-on-one coaching, both of which mark the official launch of our accountability services.

I couldn’t be more excited about what this means for you.

Very proud to introduce OWNERSHIP, our accountability coaching community, and the coach who makes it possible. Meet Kristin Gulling.

I am not afraid to offend other coaches. I care too deeply about helping real people find real coaching to be slowed down by who it offends.

Deep within the massive coaching industry, if you know where to look, you can find effective, person-focused coaching. One way to tell the difference is whether the coach is seeing clients, or people.

Meredith Reece sees people. Real coaching begins when people can show up fully, messy, imperfect, and not meet blame, shame, judgement, or criticism.

We’re talking about partnering with a support professional who is skilled far beyond partnership and support, but well into strategizing a personalized plan that moves the person towards their own desired results.

Not a one-size-fits-all program designed to charge high fees and overpromise results, but a personalized, authentic support and skill development plan to move them forward in their own relationship to themselves, in their own lives.

This month, Meredith takes her place as our first Strategic Support Partner, championing the people with me, as she helps them connect with themselves, as the root of all effective coaching work.

That’s CONNECTION. And this is my protégé, Meredith Reece.

I'm proud to introduce Meredith Reece. She brings the exact warmth and human connection to the company that I built it on. Her addition allows me t...

We. Are. All. Exhausted.

Well, everyone except Tamsen Troy.

Even after years of her inspiring me to get curious about my relationship to energy, and nonchalantly empowering me with the skills to do something about it, I still fall off my energy wagon. And when I do, I turn to her for her signature high-vibe chill to get me back on track. There is never any judgment, no shame, and no criticism just the perfect mix of skill building, inspiration, and camaraderie to guide me back to my own energy, again.

The truth? She’s better at all things energy than me.

She’s also a coach's coach. The kind of person a coach goes to for support. Having met in the 1900’s, she has supported me in every season of my growth and my career.

She always shows me how to reconnect with myself, and stand strong. More importantly, she makes me laugh. She is the source of a significant amount of my work around ENERGY, which is why I’m proud to be introducing her as the Director of Energy in Abundance. The practical, highly-human, and foundational work to supports everything else we do.

But first, energy!

We’re bringing her right to you in the ENERGY weekly community group. It’s amazing access to such a great resource and leader. And it sits at our lowest entry point financially making it widely available.

Ready to take back your energy? Dive into today’s blog post for the full breakdown of how to get started.

You've been running on empty and calling it fine. There's a way back to the energy you forgot was still yours.

We need to talk about capacity. (And soon).

Traditional business coaching increases demands on you, which inherently lowers your capacity to meet preexisting demands, all while expecting you to show increased performance as a result. Business coaching fatigue is real, and people are kinda over it.

My coaching stands in stark contrast because I do not increase demands. I increase capacity.

Supporting you in your ability to do what we already trust you to know how to do, because it's your job... shouldn't be a novel concept, but it is.

If you're even slightly curious about what it looks like to actually expand your capacity instead of just piling on more demands, let's talk.

Over the last year, I’ve intentionally expanded this practice into a full coaching ecosystem. Because of this growth, my personal schedule is finite. I am taking new private clients right now, but only eight to be exact. Once those final eight spots are filled, my personal book of business is closed. And there is no waiting list.

We'll figure out together if we are the right fit. As further evidence that I stand in contrast to traditional coaching, there is no hard sell, ever. The enroll options are on my website. You'll leave our conversation and decide completely on your own if and when you're ready to push them.

As it should be.

I’ve never trusted business coaches easily.

When business growth is valued above all else, the people generating that growth are at best an afterthought, and at worst, collateral damage.

Szabó Services exists for people, never at their expense. That’s not a tagline; it’s the line I won't cross. When I decided to add an executive coach to champion the businesses while I champion the people, I wasn't choosing based on business credentials. Every business coach has those. I was looking for the rare partner who naturally aligned with this worldview and could match my relational coaching skills.

The coach I chose to partner with as our founding executive coach brings with him far more than his twenty years of experience in startups and as a COO and scaling expert. He's also an effing amazing person.

Jonathan is now the leader of our REFINE coaching community, where we are stepping into the industry gaps of access and frequency. This level of executive coaching and weekly touchpoints is normally reserved for the highest price points. We’re doing things differently by providing that expertise and consistent proximity at our lowest entry point. For those ready for more immersive work, he is also available for 1:1 executive coaching.

Our clients are thriving under this dual support. We are stepping into another huge gap in the market by working so closely together on the health of the leader and the health of the operation.

Business structure shouldn't come at the cost of your sanity. Read more about why I trust Jonathan to help you build a solid foundation without burning yourself or your people down in the process on today's blog post.

I’m introducing the first of five coaches joining Szabó Services. Here is why I chose Jonathan Goldsmith, how his operational expertise strengthen...

Six years ago I launched a solo coaching practice.

This spring, I launched a team.

Accountability coaching. Executive coaching. The grounded mental and emotional work this practice has always been known for. All under one roof. All held to the same standard.

I've been building toward this for a long time. The blog post linked below is where it starts.

If you're curious, read it. If you're ready, enroll in May.

Eight years ago, in the spring of 2018, I made the decision to coach full time. What followed was a year of studying, a year of practicing, and th...

This book made an appearance in my 8am coaching session today.

I love to teach what the Nagoski sisters taught me, that emotions are automatic, instantaneous neurochemical responses to a stimulus.

PHYSICAL FOLKS

EMOTIONS ARE PHYSICAL SCIENCE not figments of our imagination

and that stimulus? is often our own THOUGHTS
