Remember the days of “generic products” in the grocery store;  those plain yellow packages with the food item labeled in black?  Are you a generic “employee” or is there something special about you?  Get ready for some real coaching today on Image Management…the power of perception that I learned from the #1 ad agency in Manhattan.  Wake up, because right after weather and sports we begin.

Great song by Dylan to bring us into today’s STARPOWER coaching session on a most important subject…You gotta serve somebody.  Ray, I’m not feeling the upbeat vibe today, but it’s a good thing I can choose not to serve negative feelings.  As Coach, my job is not political/social commentary, however, I must be sensitive to what’s happening.  My job is to inspire and help keep our minds at peak effectiveness to live our best possible lives.

So glad you are with us this morning as we embark on another journey guided by our STARPOWER model that integrates Attitude, Appearance, Abilities, Associations and Accountability; 5-points designed to get us into Action.  Today we launch into a most important discussion, with some actionable tips, inspired by a meeting I was in this week.  What impressed me was the hopefulness with which each person shared.  They each talked about the measures they were taking to ensure healthy practices for their business and customers.    It was a very positive time.  And that’s where I want to begin…Hopefulness.

 STARPOWER coaching is here today.  So glad you are with us this morning as we will be guided by our 5-point model designed to get us into Action and thrive in these crazy times.  Coach has a great link posted for you along with podcasts at MyValueTree.com.  What’s on deck, Coach, you may be wondering?  We are going to have some fun with resiliency in a way that will give you some actionable tips so that with finesse and ease you can deal with these stupid curve balls that life keeps throwing at us.

Why are we the only species on the planet that need laws to keep each other safe?  We had to pass the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) due to the lack of workplace safety…and here we go again with the same issues in the public domain.  Why should taking care of one’s own body be such a struggle and what does it mean for the future we are creating?  Our purpose today is to appreciate that Murphy will be with us as we birth a new normal, and to quickly embrace our new life.  Time to focus…STARPOWER starts now.  Today's Handout click here.

STARPOWER coaching is here again, guided by our 5-point model designed to get us into Action and thrive in these uncertain times.

As we went through the week I noticed that people are suffering from the Covid Crush…too much death, too much stress, too much uncertainty; people are ending up sullen and ill-tempered…and it is negatively impacting the top “A” of our STARPOWER model…Attitude and Aspirations.  What if I told you there is one thing you can do right now, this very moment, that will give you / your brain the same happy stimulation of 2000 chocolate bars or $25, 000…interested?

Gather round this morning for a most important STARPOWER coaching session.  Get your donut (bogo from Lukes in Avon), go to MyValueTree.com and print-off today’s handout.  As you look at the people you know, what’s your sense about how they are doing?  How are you doing?  Kids, kash, kovid starting to drive you nuts?  My data points would suggest that people are starting to wear thin…one case, even raw.  Some are stressed, confused and depressed.  What if I told you there is a way out, a way to build some resilience through these times…interested?

Okay, it’s time to get started on today’s STARPOWER Coaching session.  Over the course of this day you will be crafting your future one decision at a time; Stay in bed or get up? Make the bed or not? Get dressed or go slob?  Eat junk or healthy? Movie or video game?  Nap or study? Resume or solitaire? When this day is over and you are heading to bed, Coach wants you to be able to say, “I Chose Success.” Get today's handout.

“Perception is key to resilience,” was the opening statement from the last time we were together.  Back then, our world was an unsettled place…teacher’s strikes, shootings at YouTube, the FL High School, and TN Waffle house, assault rifle ban, troops to the border and E.Coli in romaine lettuce.  Tainted lettuce…seems quaint by today’s standards.  People were feeling besieged and we worked on the power of bouncing back.  Today we focus on coming to terms with our new reality.  Stand by, Saturday morning STARPOWER Coaching begins shortly.
