Summary: With 2013 just beginning, it seemed like a good time to re-run my podcast with Master Success Coach Susan Washington. If you’re looking for ideas for getting your own year off on the best foot possible, you’ll want to tune in. If you hang out on Twitter, as I do, you begin to get the impression that there are a whole lot of coaches out there, of all different kinds. Coaching is huge on social media. There are life coaches. Business coaches. Success coaches. Personal coaches. Dream coaches. You get the drift. I myself have a coach. Her name is Susan Washington, and she’s really pretty awesome. She’s helping me to focus, let go of the things that are weighing me down, and get moving on the things that I keep putting off. But still, the truth is that even though I have a coach, I have a hard time coherently explaining what a coach does. So I thought I would talk to Susan, since she actually does this professionally. Plus, she’s a pretty inspiring person, and I kind of just like talking to her. That’s probably what makes her such a great coach. During our interview, Susan talked about what a coach does, and how a coach is different than a friend or a therapist. She also shared some tips for creating positive improvements in your own life. These are practical, tangible things that can make a real difference. In fact, after interviewing her I took some of her suggestions for cultivating good personal habits to heart, and started going to bed at a reasonable hour. I feel less tired. Shocking, I know! But seriously, sometimes even when you know something yourself, it helps to have someone else lay it out for you. If you are on your own self-improvement journey, you’re looking for some tips to make your life a little bit better, or you’re curious about what exactly a coach does, you’ll want to listen to what Susan had to say: Next week on the Strocel.com podcast I’ll start sharing some of the interviews I did for the Crafting my Life Online Class. Up first, I talk money with Sierra Black. It’s an important topic, and one that we probably don’t discuss enough. Subscribe to the Strocel.com podcast in iTunes, and you won’t miss a minute!
