THE ROADMAP TO MANIFESTING YOUR VISION
In the last couple of months, we have been on a journey of building our belief in
ourselves as coaches and creating a vision of how that would manifest itself in our
businesses and careers. In order to feel confident in our ability to serve others, we have
to have belief in ourselves and support that belief with a vision of success.
The next step on the road map of manifesting your vision is to create a plan that
allocates your time, energy and resources purposefully toward those goals. When we
have a plan, we know what actions to take, and we feel more focused and intentional as
we move forward. This fuels our belief and propels us into action. Without a plan, we too
often spend time on activities that may feel productive but ultimately do not bring
progress. This leads to frustration and then failure.
Listed below are some questions to ask yourself to determine what activities to
incorporate into your plan, what your purpose is for those activities, and which will be
the best to help you achieve your goals.
After you have created a plan to reach your goals, you will then prioritize your
activities. While we’d like to do them all, too often we have more ideas than hours in

2. the day. Prioritizing, planning and spending your time to get the best ROI (Return On
Investment) is most important. This may take time to iron out. You may change,
eliminate or add to your plan; however, the key is to always stay in action toward your
vision.
Questions for developing your plan:
What activities will I engage in to reach my business and career goals?
What continuing education do I need to pursue? What is the goal for this training?
How will this advance my career/business?
What organizations, clubs and memberships do I want to be a part of? How do I
want to participate? What is my goal for these affiliations?
How can I use social networking like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to reach my
goals? What is my purpose for social networking?
How can I use blogging? What is my purpose for blogging?
Am I going to send a newsletter? What will be my goal for sending a newsletter?
What topics will I address?
Will I host teleseminars? What is their purpose? On what topics will I teach?
Which ones will be free, and which will be for a fee?
Am I going to do public speaking engagements? To whom? On what topics? What
will be my goal for speaking?
Am I going to do workshops? On what topics? Will they be for free or for a fee?
What will be the purpose?
Am I going to do longer term tele-traininings or in-person seminar programs? On
what topics?
Am I going to create products? What products do I want to create?
Will I do complimentary sessions to get new clients? When and how will I offer
these sessions? What product, services or programs will I provide?
Do I want to create Joint Venture and Alliance Partnerships? If so, who are some
of my more strategic potential partners? What sorts of activities can we engage in
together?
Too often people are unclear of their vision, and how they will make that vision a
reality. But when they take the time to create a plan, they are pleasantly surprised at
how realistic and obtainable their vision really is.
Give yourself the gift of a vision for your coaching career and the plan to make it
happen. I think you too will be surprised to learn that you can indeed make your dreams
a reality.
Blessings,
Kim Clausen

DCF September Meeting: Sept 8th
Date: September 8, 2011
Time: 7:00PM to 9:00PM
(SIGs: 6:00-7:00 PM)
Location: PPA Event Center, 2105 Decautur St, Denver, CO 80211
Speaker: Therese Kienast, MCC, CPCC

3. Topic: "4 Secrets to Discovering Your Powerful Presence"
*Offering the following CCEUs: 1 Business Development; .5 Core Competency
In less than 90 minutes get an Unfair Advantage!
What is it that makes a coach irresistible, magnetic, inspiring, and a CLIENT
MAGNET?
The answer can be found in three simple words… A Powerful Presence.
This talk is a mirror that will begin to transform your business (and your life). Therese
Kienast, founder of Radical Leadership(TM) (MCC former trainer of coaches around the
world for the ICF), shares her path and what she knows to be true about why some
coaches have more clients clamoring to hire them than they can possibly handle and
others don't.
Discover the secret ingredient to becoming a CLIENT MAGNET!
Take a peak at yourself. Discover what it is about you that has someone choose to hire
you or not. Discover in an instant, a Radical shift that will have you "show up" as the
kind of person YOU would want to hire. Begin to see how you can become a client
magnet by being more of yourself than ever.
What you can expect:
As a result of your Radical Leadership experience, you will naturally:
Enroll more clients and serve more people.
Add more value to your clients’ lives.
Create the income you want.
Receive genuine, discerning and caring feedback on when you are most powerful
and compelling and when you are “selling out” on yourself.
Begin to Calibrate, practice and play with your unique strengths in a rigorous
respectful community.
Learning Objectives:
Begin to be aware of your Impact at new and powerful levels.
Begin to discover and receive genuine, discerning and caring feedback on when
you are most powerful and compelling and when you are “selling out” on yourself.
Calibrate, practice and play with your unique strengths in a rigorous respectful
community.
Begin to see where you can choose differently to be inspired, engaged and
enrolled with your life, and as a result to be Inspiring, Engaging, Enrolling to your
clients and others in your life.
Therese originally designed her course, called Radical Leadership because she saw ways
of "Be-ing" that attracted clients like crazy! She had more clients calling her than she
could possibly coach. She shares her discoveries with other coaches on why this was and
HOW to make this happen for their practices too. As successes stories go, Therese
speaks often of how Radical Leadership got "Usurped" by corporations around the world
as they saw the transformational power it brings. In 2011 Therese is committed to bring
Radical Leadership back to the home for which it was originally intended, her beloved
coaching community.
About Therese Kienast
In her speaking and coaching Therese Kienast combines humor, a tender heart, tough

4. love and powerful truths, leading her clients to success. She defines success as “creating
life the way you want it — having fun, doing what you love and realizing the results you
want!”
Therese is founder and principal of People Builders Inc., a company dedicated to
individuals designing their life and their dreams. Having coached for over the past
fourteen years, she partners with executives and entrepreneurs to clearly define what
they want in their lives and then powerfully create that! She is also Founder of Radical
Leadership — which is a program designed for leaders to radically lead from a place of
personal power and unique Essence; thereby empowering their staff and associates to
create from passion and a deep sense of purpose. The word “radical” means: rooted,
foundational and fundamental as well as extreme & drastic; this paradox is an important
part of the Radical Leadership Program. This pioneering leadership program is for those
leaders committed to creating their future and the future of those around them
powerfully and with a compelling vision.
During her past fourteen years as a coach, Therese has trained coaches around the
world for The Coaches Training Institute; designed and delivered coaching courses to
managers in several Fortune 100 Companies; is recognized as a Master Certified Coach
(MCC) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), a graduate of The Coaches
Training Institute’s Certified Professional Co-Active Coaching Course (CPCC). Therese
has also been an on-going leader in developing the coaching community in Chicago and
around the world, is known as a “coach-of-coaches” and served as past president of the
International Coaching Society. She brings twenty plus years of experience in sales,
management and entrepreneurship to the coaching partnership.
