Life With A Plan
The Beginning of True Leadership

Coaching carries through every day...
Thank you again for your coaching services, I can not only see fruit, but your coaching skills/tools you've taught me have stayed in there and helped me make decisions without you physically there to guide me. It has been truly wonderful.
Blessings,

Living Life Completely
Leadership is not a title. It is willingness to move out front, to take calculated risks for the welfare of others, and responsibility for your own life and actions. We are all called to leadership of our own lives, as well as to assume leadership roles in our families, among friends and colleagues.
To gain perspective on your own role as a leader, Karin's resources include articles as well as a customizable seminar, Who's Minding the Store. Choose from 26 mix and match modules to create the perfect presentation for the unique leadership needs of your organization.
Private Programs
If you are a leader desiring to move to the next level of excellence, or you are struggling with some aspect of your leadership portrait, consider contacting Karin for private coaching. Open Door Coaching offers flexible programs to suit your time and budget constraints. Your journey to excellence begins with the first step. Contact Karin today for a complementary needs assessment.

Staffing Executive Becomes Author...
Karin Syren has been my professional coach and personal mentor for over four years. As a result, I have been able to craft my mission statement, create a vision for each project, and focus on my efforts on goal achievement.
Throughout the process Karin has held me accountable for my accomplishments while providing the encouragement for my successes. Her process has been extremely valuable as I leave one career to start another.
I heartily recommend So-lu'shunz EffectivenessCoaching for anyone looking to reach the next level in his or her life.

Client Centered Mastermind Coaching
Karin has always believed that the most valuable coaching responds to client determined need. It may be acting as a silent partner, a confidential sounding board, a challenger, but always as a catalyst to challenging the best in the individual.
A Coach Training Alliance Certified Coach, Karin has additional training in Executive Mastermind Coaching with Drayton Boylston of The Boylston Group, which has equipped Karin to be at the right place at the right time with the right mix of services!

We are at our very best, and we are happiest,
when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy
on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves.
It gives meaning to our time off & comfort to our sleep.
It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Lost control of your time?
Here are 7 tips to help you take up the reins again. Each month we will highlight one of these 7 simple but freeing tips.
- Keep a running To Do list.
This yields immediate results. Use your list to continually reassess your changing priorities, to enable you to remain fluid in the face of a day that seems to morph before your very eyes! The idea is to empty your mind of the daily details and free it for the more valuable creative opportunities.
If you use your computer, create a template with all the elements valuable to you and a format easy to read and update. Load it daily or build continually on the same list, refreshing as you go.
On the go? Print your list and take it along, making notations for transfer later. Keep supporting materials attached, copies letters, estimates, invoices, and phone numbers, everything necessary to dispatch the items on your list. Since you won't need 15 minutes to locate supporting paperwork, you can cross an item from your list, even if you only have a few minutes between appointments.
- Use an daily planner or PDA - make it really work for you.
- Handle incoming mail immediately.
- Use voicemail and email freely as appropriate.
- Use travel time as personal development and study time.
- Schedule appointments early in the day.
- Make a working file for every project and file everything in it - immediately.
Each tip can be implemented with minimal preparation, but the reward of gaining a sense of control over the day puts you back in the driver's seat, spending time, rather than watching it trickle through your fingers.
