I listened today to the Inspiring Women Summit – a free virtual event with some of my favorite leaders designed to help women activate their full potential. It features daily dialogues between amazing women such as Marianne Williamson, Christiane Northrup, Sonia Choquette, Joan Borysenko, Marci Shimoff, and Riane Eisler and many other inspiring women leaders which then spark conversations between participants.

Women are at the core of the shift that is required. It is time for feminine values, wisdom, and virtues to take a fully equal role in creating a world that works for all. The goal is to empower each of us to liberate our gifts and take a stand for what we are co-creating.

Today, Marianne Williamson talked about how women need to step up and speak out about a new humanitarian economic model. We must take more of a leadership role. Yet, there are many internal and external challenges that stop women from saying what’s in their hearts. I really agree with her on that.

Riane Eisler spoke about a new economic model called “caring economics”. Women are 70% of the world’s poor. Women over 65 are twice as likely to be poor than men because they have been the caregivers. WE need a new model so women get more of the economic pie.

This Global Telesummit runs from May 1 to 8 and will put as many as women as possible into deep relationship with other inspiring women across the globe – all for FREE. You can participate live in as few or as many of the live calls as you like, and they are all taped so you can catch up with ones you miss.

The inspiration for today’s article came from a visit to my hairdresser. He gave me a ‘zigzag’ part, when for many years I had had a perfectly straight, linear part in my hair. With a simple flick of his comb, he expanded my concept of what a ‘part’ was, encouraging me into an out-of-the-box idea that I had never even considered.

I hope to inspire you to think out of the box – to step out of our typical linear thinking and think more creatively and innovatively.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

On a road trip I took one time called “Back Roads and Country Inns”, we drove down many back roads and winding country lanes, often not entirely sure where we would end up. The joy was in the exploration and the journey, not in arriving at the destination.

It struck me that we are often willing when on vacation to put the roadmap aside and just explore. We discover charming towns and hidden beauties as we just follow the road wherever it leads, enjoying the journey, living moment to moment.

This spirit of exploration made me think about how we typically limit ourselves in our lives. I wondered where else in my life I took the usual straight and narrow path when it would be more interesting – even more exciting – to follow the road less traveled and take a curious jog on a path I’ve never seen before. Where would it lead me?

In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, some of us forget that life is not a destination, a deadline, or a single event. Instead, it’s a complex, multi-faceted, organic organism, forever changing as new inputs stimulate its shape and character.

Most people act as if their lives follow a neat linear progression. But, in reality, there is no pre-determined pattern to our lives any more.

Just as there are no longer predictable stages to life, so too are there no longer predictable stages to a business. They follow a much more organic pattern, and it is almost impossible to predict what the actual results or outcomes will be.

Because our lives are constantly changing and evolving, we need to learn to improvise, to be comfortable with where change takes us. To let go of the ‘known’ and take the risk of exploring uncharted territory.

We can learn to ‘zigzag’ by charting our own path in life and business, our own individual course, while giving ourselves the gift of time to explore and enjoying the scenery along the way. Our life plan or our business plan will be shaped by these experiences, and we may end up somewhere we never expected to be – and loving it.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. Where in my life or my business do I most need to step off the linear, well-trodden path, be open to what’s right in front of me in the moment, and take a different course of action?
2. What could I try that I’ve never done before?
3. Where can I zigzag to reach my ultimate goal so that I enjoy the journey instead of just focusing on reaching the end result?
4. How could I innovate and step in a bold new direction?

Consider an out-of-the-box idea that you’ve never tried before. Take a more experimental, open-minded approach. Improvise, try something new, do something in a way you’ve never done it before. If that doesn’t work, try something else. Be open to learning something new. We learn more from our failures than we do from our successes, so be open to ‘failing’ – the surest route to innovation and creativity.

If you have a goal to change your business results, consider several different ways you could achieve the same outcome. In reality, it’s not the destination that is important. It’s getting there, and then starting off in another direction or down another road, relishing every moment of the journey.

Be open to stumbling upon where you’re going rather than mapping it out in advance. Notice which of the many opportunities that come your way really appeal to you most. Say yes to those good opportunities that tap into your passion but weren’t in your plan.

Take the more interesting path to reach your goals. Step off the well-trodden, predictable path and learn to zigzag. I assure you – you will be well rewarded!

I invite you to post your thoughts and comments below.

Wishing you much success,
Jan

I delivered a breakout session a few weeks ago at Amazing Woman’s Day in Toronto. There was a fabulous group of very talented women gathered to celebrate feminine success. We learned, shared, laughed, ate, networked, danced and generally had a very good time. I made connections with many women that will continue for a very long time.

This is a picture of me with Marsh Engle, the founder of Amazing Woman’s Days worldwide, and an amazing visionary leader who inspires women to new levels of success and fulfillment.

Take a look at the photos I posted at my Facebook Fan Page. If you’re not a fan yet, please do sign up!

History of Amazing Woman’s Day

The celebration of Amazing Woman’s Day was first conceived over a decade ago by transformational coach and author Marsh Engle. As the activities, programs and outreach of the Amazing Woman initiative has expanded over the years, the core mission remained the same: To serve as a unifying symbol of women everywhere who wish to bring a sense of value and purpose to their life, their community and the world. It was in March, 2001 that women throughout the United States first joined to establish the Amazing Woman’s Day movement. In 2002 the celebration grew to 50 U.S. cities. A United States Congressional Proclamation acknowledges Amazing Woman’s Day as a movement of inspiration among women, empowering entrepreneurship and creativity. Since that time, the Amazing Woman’s Day movement has served to inspire thousands across the United States and beyond. Additional celebration cities to join the movement this year include; Kingston, Jamaica; New York City, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Francisco, California, Los Angeles, California.

I’m still enjoying my visit to the west coast of Canada. The Olympics are starting here in a few days, so there’s lots of excitement in the air. I’m getting quite a bit of writing done on my new book and home study program that I’ll be releasing in the next month or two – along with some brand new coaching programs. It’s great to be away from home for a while so I can relax and be in a place where my creativity and focus can flourish.

You’ve heard me say that you need a niche and an expertise in order to grow your business to the next level as well as make your marketing much easier. One of my clients recently told me she felt hesitant to say she was an expert.

Are you one of the many talented women who has so much wisdom and experience to offer, yet lacks the clarity or the inclination to declare expert status? Or, do you have so many interests and abilities that you struggle to simplify your offer and stand out for your specialty?

If so, here’s a simple exercise to narrow down what you’re good at and position yourself to become well known for your expertise. Write your answers to the following three statements:

• Something I’m really passionate about that I like to read and talk about a lot is . . .
• My favorite issues or situations I like to work on with clients are . . .
• If I was asked to speak to a group next week for an hour, the subject I know so well that I could speak about easily with little preparation is . . .

Your answers will give you an indication of your passion, talents and expertise and the specific way you like to help your clients.

Being an expert doesn’t mean you need to have degrees and certifications. That’s the old-style of expert. It just means you really know your stuff and care about sharing what you know with other people to improve their lives.

Get started writing, speaking and reading about what you know and love and you can develop authority status easily in less than a year. This will give you confidence and will give people a way to get to know you and decide to work with you without you having to work so hard to attract more clients.

Just share your passion and wisdom everywhere you go and people will be attracted naturally to you and your message.

I invite you to share your comments and thoughts below.

After I came back from Tuscany last September, I started the daily ritual of making myself a café au lait in a large bowl every morning. When I was in Italy, I would go down early to the breakfast area each day for my coffee. Some of us started using cereal bowls to drink our café au lait. There was always warm milk in a container as well as coffee on the table.

Slowly sipping my coffee with two hands from a bowl was a lovely way to start each day as I looked out over the vineyards and olive groves onto the surrounding fields and hillsides. It made me feel so calm and peaceful and connected to the beauty all around me.

When I came back home, I maintained the daily ritual of my morning café au lait. I have other rituals of course, such as stretching, meditating and journaling first thing in the morning.

What are the daily rituals that anchor your days?

The mundane rituals as well as the ones that give you the feeling of being connected to something larger than yourself? Those daily actions that connect you to both yourself and to the Universal Energy or to the Divine?

Rituals are a set of actions regularly repeated in a precise manner. Rituals can help us connect with who we really are at our core and guide us in our search for meaning and identity.

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to start – or restart – any rituals that give you a sense of calm, security, peace, connection, love or joy.

I’d love to hear what your daily rituals are!

I gave a seminar last week with my colleague Carolyn Ellis at the Verity Club – an upscale women’s club in Toronto. Our topic was “The 5 Key Secrets Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs to Know to Accelerate Business Growth and Thrive in This Changing Economy”.

Carolyn and I each shared our tips on how to leverage your brilliance and the mindset shifts and skills you need to make to really thrive in business today.

We talked about the need for real authenticity and integrity in business today. Old style business models are no longer working. The new approach is more toward being of service rather than selling. Be more interested in how you can help and serve your clients than in what you want to get from them.

A wonderful group of women gathered for the event. We got great feedback on several exercises we took them through.

We plan to do more in 2010 – including a 2 day mastermind coaching intensive in January.

One of my favorite books is “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I read it when it was originally published in 1992, but the message still holds true today. Clarissa uses wonderful universal stories and myths to describe our psychological journey from ego to soul and the journey back to our wise woman selves.

I pulled it off my bookshelf this week when I found myself struggling to be creative and feeling lost and unsure of what I wanted to write.

Many of you know that I am in a coaching program with Christine Kloser and Lynne Klippel where a group of us are writing our books to be published later this year. My outline and initial thoughts flowed nicely, but now that I’m in the more creative part of the writing, I’m either avoiding it or feeling blocked.

Clarissa talks about the “Wild Woman” archetype as our natural instinct – the innate, basic nature of women. It’s our wise or knowing nature. It’s the female soul and the source of the feminine. This instinctive nature often contains our creativity, our gifts and our power and can guide us to consciousness. Understanding this aspect of ourselves is about knowing the soul. This is our true nature that has inner ears and inner eyes, the eyes of intuition, the deep knowing of the heart.

I notice that many women I coach now have lost much of their passion for life and for their work. Our collective creative potential is dwindling. We find ourselves drawn too much into the ‘doingness’ of work and home life, into busyness or inertia, often because we have lost touch with our wise nature. These difficult economic times are taking a toll on all of us. We are losing our joy and our energy to create. We may be filled with ideas, but feel unable to act on them.

It takes practice to get connected back to our instinctive, creative senses – back to our passion, energy and soul power. Clarissa suggest drawing on the ‘animus’ aspect of our psyche – your internal masculine energy – to more easily manifest your ideas and creative work in a concrete way.

I’m going to draw on this aspect of myself to help me organize and implement my creative ideas for my book. I’m a creative, idea person, and need to watch that I don’t just stay in that creative place that I love to be in, and not get anything completed.

My mission is to support more women in manifesting their creative ideas and projects into money making services and products.
