My plan was to have a great weekend with the Millionaire Mastermind Intensive! Reality, my husband’s back and hip were on fire and the Advil didn’t touch the pain! His Doc had prescribed medication-IF he felt the need! He felt it all right, but the drugs were at home. So, we went home. Planned to return the 2nd day…I got up… sneezed and my day went downhill from there. Plans?
There is a saying-“when you make plans ,God laughs!” I think I paraphrased and don’t know the wise author. Nothing’s more important than your health! I didn’t write blog posts, see clients,did do coaching calls…but, my cold/flu combined with another 6-7″ of snow and single digit temps! Just kept me home-no going to0 a networking group or even emailing-bad headache, chills…
We all make plans. Sometimes, things out of your control, like being sick, the weather and the changes that occur when breaking the routine. Sometimes plans fail. Now, let’s write down some contingency plans.
About transitionchick
Having literally reinvented her career (and redefined her goals and herself) many times over, Marcia Merrill has definitely earned the title of being known as the Transitions Chick!
Before she answered her true calling, namely coaching, she was a Staff Analyst for a consulting company; a Resource librarian; and taught English, Spanish composition, and English as a second language in all levels of schools, from elementary through to doing substitute teaching during her graduate schooling.
Her fervent desire to continually learn and explore different avenues led her to obtain two Masters degrees, the first in Bilingual/Bicultural Education and Instructional Systems Development from the University of Maryland, and the second in Counseling Psychology from Loyola College, Maryland.
Marcia draws upon not only her solid academic background and her 25+ years as a Career Counselor/Coach, but also her own personal transitions that she has weathered and emerged from victoriously. She definitely ‘walks the walk and talks the talk’ and her primary objective is to help women achieve the level of contentment and success they desire from their life and their career or business. Whether it’s transitioning from an entry level position to an executive manager, changing jobs to realize their hopes and dreams, to learning how to cope with the setbacks that life in general sometimes throws at us, Marcia always applies her caring and creative problem-solving skills to her clients.
Her mission statement, “Fall in love with your LIFE & your work (and in that order!)” shows how Marcia prioritizes her life, and her clients easily achieve the same balance in their lives from her superb coaching skills.
