My Week Has Been Great!

April 18, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Wow—what a passionate, rewarding, fun-filled week!

On Sunday night, I attended the 10th Annual Benefit Concert for Women at Risk, at the Avalon, in Hollywood. I had the extreme privilege of listening to the amazing voice of Linda Eder (www.LindaEder.com) who performed, along with her band, the most incredible songs. She and her band gave the gift of their time and talent to this worthy cause. She sang many songs from her new album, “The Other Side of Me” and I rushed home to go online and purchase it for myself. Linda has been following her passion of creating music since she was 19.

Smart Women are Possibility Thinkers

April 18, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

One morning not long ago, I was driving to the Inn at Playa del Rey for one of my Women’s Success Circles. It was a beautiful day in Pacific Palisades—blue skies, sun shining—glorious. What a great day this was going to be! My mind turned to possibilities for the day. As I made my way down to the beach and through Santa Monica, the weather began to change. It became quite foggy. I could barely see the car in front of me. I had to turn my headlights on. I noticed that my thinking had shifted a bit. Some of the possibility thinking had diminished. The “possibilities for the day” began to fade. Why? What had changed?

Two things: The climate and my attitude. It occurred to me that the outcome of my day, and really on a larger scale my life, is directly related to my environment and my own attitude. When I was a young girl, my grandfather, “Pop” as we used to call him, would say, “No matter where you go, there you are.” I was reminded of this as I began to navigate the foggy streets to arrive at my Women’s Success Circle. In essence, you are in charge of how your day, and how your life will unfold. This can be good news for some and bad news for others. If you are a positive woman who always sees the glass is half full, you are smiling and nodding right now. If you are a woman who finds herself sometimes seeing the glass as half-empty and unable to find the “possibilities for the day,” you may not agree just yet.

Re-energize By Connecting!

April 10, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff 1 Comment

Last week I went to Santa Barbara to a yearly conference that is hosted by The Hudson Institute, which is where I proudly received my coaching certification some time ago. It was a time to reconnect with peers and deepen my own growth and learning about my work.

The speakers were full of knowledge and spoke with an energetic passion that was contagious. If you’ve been “too busy” lately to attend your own professional development conferences or maybe you have seen a seminar or workshop that is interesting and you just can’t seem to “find the time,” I invite you to make the commitment.

Smart Women Give Themselves Permission

April 10, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Recently, I was having a conversation with a woman when she asked me a crucial question: “What are the steps I need to take in order to live a life filled with passion and purpose?” It’s really a 3 part process. When a woman is ready to create her own extraordinary life, she needs to first decide what she wants. Then she needs to decide how she wants to design her life. Finally, she needs to give herself permission to have the life she has chosen. It’s essential that she believes that she deserves to have the life she chooses. If you decide what you want your life to look like but do not believe that you should really have it, then your “dreams” will never become a reality.

My work is designed to support women in their journey to living their own extraordinary life. Years ago, I knew that I wanted to make some big changes in my own life. I had to first decide what I wanted. Then I had to design my life how I wanted it to be. Lastly, but crucial, I had to give myself permission to create this new way of being. You have to believe it so you can ask for it.

Holding Hands

April 3, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Today is April 3rd and Spring has definitely arrived! I have spoken with so many women over the last week who are “planting their seeds” to grow a dream or big idea. It’s the perfect time of year to take action on creating your preferred life. If you missed last week’s article about “planting your seeds”, you can read it here.

I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of “special time” with my 5 year old daughter Jenna, who just returned to pre-school this week after a 2 week Spring Break. I think the best part about spending time with Jenna is holding hands. When we leave our front door or exit the car, the outstretched hand appears immediately. If you have older children, you know that holding hands does not always last forever. I invite you to hold the hand of someone who’s special to you. It really does make a difference.

Smart Women Keep Their Inner Door Open

April 3, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Our family went to the Santa Barbara Zoo this past weekend. I love this zoo because it’s not overwhelming (you can see everything in about 2 hours) and Santa Barbara is a favorite spot of mine to relax. When we entered the exotic birds area, a sign on the door read, “For the safety of our birds, please close the inner door before opening the outer door.” That really made me chuckle. I thought, “Well, I don’t think the women will have too much trouble remembering this!”

What do I mean? Many women keep their inner door closed tight with a double-bolt lock on it and have misplaced the key to open it. What inner door am I referring to? The one that leads to our inner thoughts…our inner life. Yes, you do have an inner life. It’s that voice of intuition and deeper knowing that we all experience. It speaks almost in a whisper so that we can barley hear it. Why? Because the outer door…our outer life, is wide open. It lets everything in; the noise, traffic, emails, cell phones, iPods, co-workers, never-ending meetings, grocery shopping, homework, community volunteer work. Have I covered it all? How could you possibly have the time to locate the key and then get the door open on your inner life when the outer life demands so much?

I Love Public Speaking!

March 30, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Thursday night, I had the opportunity to spend the evening with a group of women from www.WonderfulOnlineWomenLA.com.  These women have formed a community where single women over 50 can come together to have dinner and conversation about navigating life and dating in the Los Angeles area. 

Ellen, the WOW organizer is quite resourceful and amazing.  She hosts gatherings where women and men can come together in a safe, fun setting to meet and learn more about one another.  I spoke to these women about “Creating The Spark; Igniting Passion for The Work and Life You Love.”  It was well-received and timely as many of the women are looking to make changes in both their personal and professional lives.

Spend Time With The “Nutritious” People In Your Life

March 27, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

I have had such a great week. My mom came out from Florida to spend Spring Break with us. It’s been good to reconnect with her and also watch her continue to form a special bond with Jack and Jenna.

On Tuesday, I had the good fortune to spend the morning with my Women’s Alumnae Circle. These women are remarkable. They continue to stay on a path toward new growth and learning. Always open to change and looking at their lives through a new lens. I am always energized after being in a Women’s Success Circle.

Smart Women Are Great Gardeners

March 27, 2008 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

As I was unpacking a box in our new house the other day, I found a beautiful drawing that my son Jack had done when he was in Kindergarten last year, in the spring. It’s 4 pieces of paper layered together with drawings and these 4 words: seed, roots, stem, flower. There is a lot of sunshine and rain above to illustrate how growing something meaningful needs both. When Jack saw it, he immediately began to explain to his younger sister Jenna how this works. “You plant a seed, give it water, then a root grows, then a stem and then you have a flower one day.” Wow, if only it were that simple!

Realizing a big idea, dream, or goal is a lot like planting a seed in your garden. The first step is to decide which seed (idea) you want to plant. There are so many choices. Which one seems to be the perfect fit for you right now in your life? After you decide what seed you want to plant, you need to learn about that seed and how it needs to be cared for to get the best results.
