Hello Service Professionals, Small Businesses Owners and Entrepreneurs
Welcome to Self growth's Business Coaching. I’m deeply committed to inspiring and equipping my community to excel in work and life. As a Small Business and Communication Success Strategist, MBA and Certified Book Yourself Solid Coach I work as counsel and coach to small business professionals to help them develop a loyal community through no and low cost marketing including marketing their business using speaking and demonstrating.
There is no better, low cost way to market your business and services then telling people what you do.... I’ve been writing, speaking and coaching on business success through respectful communication to inspire, influence and transform yourself and others for years. (No need to mention how many is there?)
Writing, speaking and demonstrating are the quickest ways to leverage your time and expertise. For a small business, time really is money, so I don't waste time on empty platitudes. My interactive private coaching, public events and workshops use systems, tools and examples based on a long career in business consulting. As communications director for Michael Port, author of 4 best sellers including "Book Yourself Solid" and over a decade as an Associate with Michael Grinder, one of the foremost authorities on non-verbal communication I've learned what it takes to speak to sell your services and products.
Are you terrified of speaking in public? Does telling others what you do and what you can offer them make you weak in the knees? Learn how to talk about what you do with easy, simple to remember techniques….
I've recently written a book. My book What Your Body Says (and How to Master the Message) is available at www.WhatYourBodySays.com. Published by John Wiley and Sons, What Your Body Says (and how to master the message) gives you the straight-up “how-to” on having your body match what your mouth is saying. Strong leaders know that communicating with confidence and clarity are keys to gain recognition, build stronger work relationships and deliver high-value results… confidence and clarity begin when you have mastered the verbal and nonverbal components of your message.
What Your Body Says is written to give you a clear and simple process to follow, all drawn from an intense study of how verbal and nonverbal language impacts people's lives and emotions. Filled with useful tools, strategies, and techniques,
This book gives you the keys to —
* Acquire confidence, project self-esteem and self-concept to project a positive image
* Establish trust and credibility for stronger work relationships
* Speak intelligently while looking smart, engaging and real
* Deliver unpleasant messages without pain or guilt
* Having a committee meeting and getting something done
* And more
Join me each Tuesday morning at 10 am Pacific I have fun interviewing dynamic communicators on BlogTalkRadio’s Beyond Lip Service www.BeyondLipServiceRadio.com. We get to "pick the brains" of some amazing and accomplished people to learn their success secrets.
I am co-owner of Impression Engineers, www.impressionengineers.com, a company dedicated to service professionals and small businesses to help them build an online market place and community.
I've also authored “Beyond Marketing: Building Relationships and Sales Success” and “Life’s Short Live Passionately,” a practical yet inspiring guide to live a life of choice, passion and joy.
My blog, "Best Impressions" can be found at www.sharonsayler.com and www.WhatYourBodySays.com. It is full of business and communication solutions and practical skills on persuasive presenting and marketing your business with tips that are free or low-cost.

Multi-tasking or multi-time-taking
I just read an article by Joel Spolsky on multi-tasking and computers. He really opened my eyes to the downside of the law of exponential growth. For years, yes years, I thought I was getting more done by doing multiple things at once. Seems efficient, right. WRONG! It really does take more time to do multiple tasks then to do one task at a time. Now, Joel is a computer guy—develops software. He has a great analogy that even a non-computer person can relate to, so I will paraphrase it here- “…You have two computations to perform, A and B.

***We’ve Come a Long Way… Women in Business, A Look Ahead
As a long-time owner of several marketing and communication businesses I’ve been around long enough to see major changes in the way women (and men) view work. My formative years were influenced by Helen Reddy lyrics “I am woman, hear me roar… In numbers too big to ignore…” and television jingles telling me “…I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan…” The novel idea that women can do anything a man can do including business was firmly implanted in my young brain. Women of the 70’s began to balance work and home with “Super Mom” set up as the ideal. It was a stressful goal.

***Low-Cost "Get Known" Strategies
1. Have an effective web or blog site and exposure on social media. Today most people at least research online before buying, if not, buy online. You can do a site your self or hire a designer. Effective does not have to be expensive. Just spend a little time learning about the technologies and decide if you want to do it your self.

***Five Nonverbal Tips To Influence, Inspire and Build Lasting Rapport
Have you ever heard things like, “She’s nice, but not leadership material.” He’s just not confident enough for the job” but you know you are confident and leadership material. I know how frustrating that can be – to be judged before they even know you, maybe even before you’ve even opened your mouth! Attendees of my trainings tell me those and similar sad phrases that keep them from getting ahead all the time. Why does that happen?

***What About Email? … They don’t understand me. Part 2
The other day in my blog, I asked are you sure you understand? And are you sure you are being understood? Up popped the question, that is great in person, what about email? Same as in person when we write an email, it's important to get right to the heart of the message. Too often time is wasted, misunderstandings happen, mistakes made, and conflict arises because of being to vague.

Tell me more...
“…If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought…”rn~George Orwell At times, things just come out of my mouth… and it’s not until it falls out of my mouth that I’m aware it has an assumption (or two.) Last week, I was trying to express myself to my friend Sparks; it just wasn’t as clear as it could have been.

***When You Have to Deliver Bad News: The four most important things to remember
Location, Location, Location, Location “Location, location, location" is a common phrase that’s used when referring to real estate. It’s repeated three times to emphasize how important location is to the resale value of a home. The fact that we repeat it four times when talking about communicating bad news tells you how extremely important it is in using nonverbal gestures to deliver bad news or present a controversial topic. If you want to be the messenger who DOESN’T get shot, remember…location, location, location, location. There are four gestures of location:

What 'ya lookin' at?
Friend, would you recognize a "good client" if you saw one? A pulse and a checkbook should not be the only requirements. Do you frequently accept a client you THOUGHT was going to be right for you…only to discover down the road that they’re costing you time, frustration and maybe even money? Just like in dating, there has to be compatibility in your client relationships.

Oh, no... a UFO (Unidentified Foremost Objective)
Last week, we talked about the look and feel of your company or brand. If the look and feel is the face of your company, then imagine that the management processes and systems is the skeleton, while the service, price, quality, availability, selection, functionality, etc. are the various functions of the body. All should be functioning well to be successful. It’s always been a competitive world out there. The Internet has opened vast markets for our customers, their attention is being pulled in many ways.

How to get started
Design The Business and Life You Desire.
Hey, I know… I hear it a lot… many business owners today feel overwhelmed, overworked, burnt-out and tired of trying to figure it all out. Sometimes you can get so engrossed in "figuring-it-out," things can be overlooked—the "not being able to see the forest, but for the trees syndrome…" Consider coaching. I like to call my style of business coaching Courage Under Fire Coaching...
Why a business coach? Courage Under Fire Coaching brings you an extremely valuable resource — a different perspective. I care about my clients and their businesses, but I don’t have the same emotional attachment or overwhelm by your day-to-day details and company breakdowns, as you do…. Coaching is a support system based in powerful, action-oriented conversations, systems and tools. Coaching empowers you to experience your potential more quickly, easily and joyfully. It provides accountability, a sounding board, and a safe place to brainstorm.
Even as you achieve a high level of success, coaching is an ongoing tool that empowers you to move from where you are now to where you want to be.
Courage Under Fire Coaching is based on four "C’s":
- Gain Clarity to know who you are and what you want
- Maintain Commitments of follow through and taking action
- Develope Confidence to take one action step after another to Success
- Move through life with Courage as you transform the present into the Future You Deserve!
"Sharon Sayler combines uniquely insightful behavioral and communication coaching skills with the Book Yourself Solid system making her the choice for professionals, business owners and executives who want to design their own life — with her unique set of tools you can quickly become more effective and compelling in your business and personal life.” — Michael Port
Coaching is a powerful tool for change. Get unstuck. Set and achieve goals. Know that coaching is not therapy. It is…
* The accountability that most of us need to keep us on track.
* An outside observer that can offer a different perspective.
* Conversation that creates Synergy that creates Momentum = Your Goals.
* Brings the experience of others, new ideas and skills = Your Success.
