First the exciting news! I've just added "Artist" to my website: janepollak.com/artist. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Your comments are invaluable. I created a powerpoint doc as a first pass (I shared it last week) and offered the assignment...
My Visions Group is expecting to see an Artist page mock-up for my website next Wednesday. They're expecting it because I committed to designing one as a goal for our meeting that morning. Right now my site gives information on me as a Coach, Speaker and Author....
I enjoyed cleaning my Logitech keyboard last week and thought I'd tackle my slow-operating vacuum cleaner today. I took the dust receptacle apart and saw (online) that you can run water through the filter. I noticed that it didn't flow easily. On closer inspection,...
I promised to write about three women in transition in their lives: Client #1 who redefined balance and achieved it, Client #2 who made the decision to quit corporate life and go back to school for the graduate degree she's always desired, and Client #3 who knew...
While some children are opening windows on their advent calendars, counting down the days till Santa Claus arrives, my calendar countdown is slightly different. In late October I had an astrological reading which I do every 5-7 years whether I need it or not. 2018...
While living in CT, if I had an hour or two between meetings and no time to get home, I used my car as my office provided the weather permitted. I'd pull off the road at a rest stop to coach a client, or recline my driver seat for my afternoon meditation. Living in...
...when I'm alone. I loved school and still thrive in an environment surrounded by others, especially a patient instructor. But, left to my own devices, learning at home without an instructor, I revert to infancy. I want someone standing over my shoulder directing...
Scheduling three major activities this month, I noticed that I’m a garden-variety June celebrator and entrepreneur. Like many of you, I’ll be 1) creating marketing materials for promoting my business over the next 6 months and year ahead, 2) attending a reunion (my...
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your level of politeness to telemarketers and customer service reps? I used to hover between 0 and 4 depending on my mood that hour. Not something I've been proud of, but I'm trying to change. The Universe presented me with...
I'm often confused by the question, "How many hours a week do you work?" What catches me up short is the fine line between what feels like work-writing a blog post--and what can fairly be labeled as work but is actually fun. Not that writing this entry isn't fun......
I had a weird experience last week. If it weren't for positive word-of-mouth from a trusted friend, I never would have received this particular service. But M was effusive enough about it that I decided to give it a try. The lead-up to the event was as intriguing...
There was a 3-hour appoint-free window in the middle of my Tuesday this week. An earlier meeting at 102nd and Broadway ended at just after 11:30am. The next one wouldn't be until 3:45pm down in Chelsea, the West 20's. I've secured space at the Writers Room for...
"I ask for a sign that even I can understand," a friend once instructed me as I expressed uncertainty about a now long-forgotten issue. Her comment came back to me yesterday when I received an ultra-clear message from the Universe about the timing of a new phone...
I received an unsolicited testimonial last week from a client I completed with in November after our 6-month coaching period ended. Her primary goal was to raise her rates and her overall income. Here's what she wrote in a recent email (and I have her permission to...
Remember the old days when you could have a VCR or BetaMax? If you were in analysis paralysis, you may have waited so long that the choices eventually went away. Where are you with video conferencing? Are you a Skype user? Do you rely on FaceTime? I thought Skype...
