I’m so very pleased to add Carol Ross’ blog, Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Living, to my blogroll. OLEL is about "living well, seeing the big things in the small things, finding the ordinary in the extraordinary, through the stories of everyday life."
Carol is a business and personal coach, organizational development consultant and writer in the Denver area that I met via the Coaches Training Institute‘s online community, the Co-Active Network. We shared resources and thoughts about blogging and coaching, and I feel like I’ve found another kindred spirit through her writing. Since she shared with me the beta-version of her blog a few months ago, I’ve been anxiously awaiting her OK to promote her blog here. She has the gift of telling an story with a point in a compelling and engaging way that gently nudges you towards a new way of thinking, being, acting.
So, with that… drum roll, and ta-da: pull up a chair, and enjoy Carol Ross & Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Living! (Sounds like a great band name, huh?)
Before specializing as a professional coach in 2004, I spent more than a decade in leadership, management and program development for state and local government and non-profit organizations. Â Now I get to help leaders and teams have more clarity and ability to stand up for what's important in their work and in their organizations. Working with me, leaders and teams find more meaning and purpose, feel happier and more confident, navigate change and conflict, and work together better.
Ohmygosh! I had not been to your blog in awhile and thought I would catch up on your postings. It’s actually quite a strange feeling to see a posting about yourself (that you didn’t write, that is.)Thank you, Hanna, for being so gracious and giving me such a kind introduction into the blogosphere (did I get that term right?)
What I’ve seen from a short time in the blogosphere is that like attracts like. So a phrase that I’ve been hearing lately comes to mind: Right back at you, Hanna!
