Making A Difference: Happy, Happy 2009

What Clients Say

"Coaching was tremendously helpful to me in moving out of a place where I felt stuck professionally, which was also affecting me personally. As a direct result of my work with Hanna, I was able to identify the next steps to take toward a new career direction. A few months of regular phone coaching with Hanna made a big difference in my career and my life. I'm moving forward on a path that feels right." – CR
“Instead of giving me 'the answer', Hanna asks the questions so I can find my own solutions. By coaching with Hanna, I am finally resolving situations that have lingered unresolved for years, as I discover I have the capacity within me to change my current and future outcomes. Coaching with Hanna has changed who I am and who I will become.” – CM
“Hanna asks honest, open questions that requires one to look deep inside to search for truthful answers - to move you past your layers of various identities and help you find your core being so that you can address your own questions in a truthful manner. She invites dialogue that helps one see oneself as a strong and capable individual. She is intuitive, welcoming and non-judgmental – it’s very easy to be open and honest with her.” -SGF

Happy, Happy 2009

Why, hello there, all of you!

Yes, despite all best efforts to issue this blog to dust, I'm baaaack!

And, I have all intentions of not forgetting about you, dear Internet, this year. In fact, you're back on my list!

As I wrote waaaay back in 2008 (ancient history, huh?), I spent a good bit of my energetic resources this past year attending the CTI Leadership program... an amazing, life-changing experience for me, that's really brought me to a new level in myself and my own leadership. More to come on that. Lots more, in fact.

So, when I say "you're on my list", Internet, what I mean is that this blog is one of my projects, one of the ways that I believe I can really fully live out my purpose as a leader (which, in its current iteration, is about being an unconventional ambassador for change).

Stepping up my writing on this blog - so that it's a better resource for my coaching clients, so that it's a more powerful way of connecting with non-profit and government leaders, so that it might even shift something out in the world - is one of my goals for 2009. I actually have a secret (oops, perhaps not so secret now) dream that these blog posts might someday find themselves edited into some type of book - what do you think?

What's on your list, Internet, for 2009? What is the world waiting for you to do, say, be, this year?
