Use clear, relatable language, and tailor your leadership communication to suit your audience. Reinforce the vision regularly—whether through team meetings, one-on-one discussions, or visual reminders—to ensure it stays top of mind. When your team can see where they are going, it’s easier to be efficient in prioritizing the tasks that will get them there. By crafting and communicating a compelling leadership vision, you empower your team with clarity, purpose, and direction, laying the groundwork for lasting success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1539039b-6ac4-4d1d-90c5-62252356a5a0/JoyfulRoots-LeadershipInteriorFire.jpeg Blog - Leading People: Beyond Managing Tasks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.joyfulroots.ca/blog/health-management monthly 0.5 2025-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/b6d0ad60-9f40-4f7e-8e00-0d0ffc09da79/Joyful-Health+-uphill%281%29.jpeg Blog - Simple Ways to Take Control of Your Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/c36b4ecc-3a39-40a2-8c48-df9f36d4d1b4/Joyful-Health.jpeg Blog - Simple Ways to Take Control of Your Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.joyfulroots.ca/blog/stress-management monthly 0.5 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1731085120490-X6HFTXG6043YOPDTHSL3/JoyfulRoots-StressManagement.png Blog - The Power of Stress Management: How You Can Find Balance - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.joyfulroots.ca/blog/do-you-have-a-great-life-but-want-something-more monthly 0.5 2021-05-22 https://www.joyfulroots.ca/blog/how-changing-your-morning-routine-will-improve-your-mood-x3axw monthly 0.5 2020-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599422407746-AUWYFGV41T843A8IDZTU/What+does+success+mean+.png Blog - What does SUCCESS mean to you?

In order to have the best life possible, it’s important to examine all 10 areas as you can see on the Circle of Life diagram to the left. Do you have some areas where you are knocking it out of the park and some that could use a little more focus? If you feel like there might be something missing in your life but are not sure what it is, this is a great exercise to help you get started! Look at each category of the circle and put a dot along the line indicating how satisfied you are in that area. A dot close to the outer edge indicates a high level of satisfaction. A dot closer to the center indicates a lower level of satisfaction. When you have rated each section, draw a circle connecting all of the dots. A circle that is round and full and close to the outer edges means your life is quite full and satisfactory. If your circle lines are more “squiggly”, look to the areas you rated lower and see if you can identify some goals or uncovered dreams that you would like to bring to life in those areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599332817729-PGA4DTOFDDGFVAO4ZTOZ/Workshop.png Home hand-drawn simplified needles in back acupuncture icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599332628951-DVBFQO644TYYMXE60WH5/One%252Bon%252BOne%252BCoaching.jpg Home hand-drawn empty pill bottle icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1621106608425-K2HYA9V4MVXA7G4N2MJZ/Accountability+Package.jpg Home hand-drawn aim target icon https://www.joyfulroots.ca/services daily 0.75 2023-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599333579099-L7HTFY3P8TBN734EEJ6S/One%2Bon%2BOne%2BCoaching.jpg Services hand-drawn armchair icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599333644133-AN85R09C0RY72JY4OVFJ/Workshop.jpg Services hand-drawn aim target icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1621101921475-HUO8LN7S1F6PYHCNJU53/Accountability+Package.jpg Services hand-drawn empty pill bottle icon https://www.joyfulroots.ca/about daily 0.75 2024-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591809300101-EYDRWIYMF88LH58RQ8TW/image-asset.jpeg Coaching - What Is Coaching? Coaching is a powerful process of tapping into a person’s potential so they can elevate their performance or level of success. A coach is someone who does not provide advice or direct strategies for their client. We are living in a world where we can find a step by step “how to” guide for almost anything we want to do in 3 clicks or less. Most of us know WHAT we need to do, we just don’t always know why we do what we do even though we know what we know. A coach believes that each person has all of the answers they will ever need inside of them. The expertise a coach will provide is to hold space for their client to clear out all of the noise, clutter and confusion that surrounds them to identify what they need to do for their own happiness and success. A coach asks powerful questions to go deep into what is driving their client’s behavior and what is truly holding them back. The client comes up with their own plan of action based on where they are at in their journey and where they desire to go in the future. Once the plan of action is created, a coach provides support, encouragement and acts as an accountability partner to ensure the client takes continuous action to achieve their desired results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1599355151972-GYTN48AFKMIS1SVHYGVS/4+Step+Process.png Coaching - The Joyful Roots Coaching 4 Step Process Step 1- Identify what it is that you want. Most people by adulthood have completely lost touch with what they actually want. Their dreams and desires are buried so deep inside of them they forget what it is like to even want anymore. Step 2- Understand why it is that you want what you want. In this step we explore 2 fundamental questions: Do you truly want it? Many people who have lost touch with what they really want wind up chasing the dreams of others, which can leave them feeling burned out and unfulfilled. It’s very important to weed out what goals in our lives are “shoulds” vs “desires”. Do you want it enough to do what needs to be done? Many of us have things we would like to have, but we don’t always want them enough to do the hard things required to get them. It’s extremely important to identify where your dream fits into this equation. If your why isn’t very big, perhaps you should move on and focus your attention elsewhere. But if your why is big enough, it will keep you going when you hit challenges along your journey to greatness. Step 3- What is holding you back? Identify what is standing in the way between you and your dream, so you can create an action plan to navigate around those obstacles. Do you need more time, money or energy to move forward? Is the fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of getting out of your comfort zone the real culprit standing in your way? Whatever it is, when you name it you can figure out a way around it! Step 4- What do you need to do to get it? Create a strategy and take action! Move in the direction of your dream. Create goals and deadlines. Embrace failure. Fall down as many times as you need to and don’t let it stop you. Find people, consequences and strategies to hold you accountable. Don’t stop until you are at the finish line! https://www.joyfulroots.ca/contact daily 0.75 2020-09-06 https://www.joyfulroots.ca/team daily 0.75 2024-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f452821c3fd4b2227e1af03/1598377314873-G280LFSPMA1F909CAEEJ/Sherry%25252BPic.jpg Coach Sherry Sherry MacEachern My idea of success started to evolve in high school. I thought a successful life meant a good education, a reputable career and a big fat salary that would allow me to buy whatever I wanted. I was in the top of my class, had scholarships to every university I applied to and was being told by everyone around me I was destined for success. Surely the future would be a breeze after finals were behind me, right? I was NOT worried! My reality however, was quite different out in the real world. I found that my formal education did little to prepare me for what a successful life actually FELT like. I followed the path society had laid out in front of me, found a good job with the fat paycheck, and on paper looked like I was living the dream. However, I was starting to feel like I wanted more. The problem was, I didn’t know what that more looked like for me. Everyone around me was getting more promotions, making more money, getting more degrees, having more babies, and buying more things. But none of that looked appealing to me anymore. There was a nagging deep inside me that I couldn’t ignore but I couldn’t exactly hear what it was trying to tell me. The problem I discovered, after MUCH soul searching, was that I had never taken the time to create what MY perfect vision of my life looked like. And what lay before me were years of confusion, frustration, fear and uncertainty on how I should move forward to achieve it. Fast forward about a decade….here I am. What I have discovered through my own personal journey and through my development as a coach is this: Inside each and every one of us is an incredibly unique and special life, designed perfectly for only us. It is not defined by the society we live in. It is not defined by the people around us. It was designed by something much bigger than any of us. And it is up to us to bring it out into the world. What I have also discovered is that the joy does not come in the acquiring of things and experiences, it comes in the movement towards them. As humans, we are designed to continually grow and expand and that is where all the fun lies. Once we acquire what it is we dream of, we will inevitably set our sights on something greater. It is when we stop growing and expanding that life begins to lose it’s luster. My own journey was long, awkward and bumpy but through my coaching experience I’ve been able to set out a four step process to help you jump right to the good parts to maximize success as quickly as possible. There is no need to wander around aimlessly anymore. If you can hear that voice, deep down inside you, even if it is just the softest whisper, that there is more for you to have, to be, or to do, I want to help you bring it to life. You deserve to have the best that life has to offer. It’s not always easy but I assure you, it will be worth it!
