The Power of Your Personal Vision speaks to the title of my chapter in a book anthology written by me and 16 other women. The book is entitled Power Up, Super Women: Stories of Courage and Empowerment. It’s definitely not just for women.

One of the greatest lessons that I can share to help empower others regardless of age, is the importance of having a personal Vision. Not a family vision, employer’s vision or one that your parents or friends have designed for you but your own Vision.

I will share today, (at a high level) some of the tools, tips and resources that I used to develop my personal vision as well those that I use in my business as a Productivity Coach. The “layoff” helped me to identify my “why” for doing what I do as a coach.

In June 2019, I published Episode 1 - When Life Hands You Lemons.  Little did I know that this short and somewhat light-hearted story based on my love of "lemonade" would be a timely message today in light of the circumstances surrounding the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.  Let's take the sour "Lemons" we've been handed via the COVID-19 pandemic and reach for the "sweetener" e.g., tools and resources available to you and me to make your version of  "Lemonade".

When life hands you lemons the old adage says, we should make lemonade. Is it really just that easy? I'm thinking like with most things in life, that it is not as simple as it sounds.  I pondered this question, just a little and  in this podcast I share my thoughts.  I hope you will enjoy my  light-hearted and somewhat serious take on this question from my perspective as Life-Coach, Author and as just me, Renee.
