Calling All Writers, Creative Entrepreneurs, Artists, Activists, and Messengers

June 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Dear writers, creative entrepreneurs, artists, activists, and messengers:

I’m looking to connect with established or up and coming creators of all sorts about “what makes you tick” as I’m developing new offerings for my business.

I have a particular fondness for screenwriters and sci fi and fantasy creators of all types — including writers, screenwriters, directors, etc. — but I am also looking to connect with musicians, painters, activists, artists, and other creative types who feel they have art, a message, or a movement to get out into the world through their creative expression.

I’m doing a combination of surveys and informational interviews by phone right now, designed to help me get more information about what creative types most struggle with and how I might be able to help them get their work into the world. This is a research project.

If you’re willing to help, take my survey online here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/creative-messengers/. If you’re willing to be interviewed, let me know in the survey on the last page and be sure to give me your contact information.

When you complete the survey in its entirety by Wednesday, June 15th and include your contact information, you’ll be automatically entered in a drawing to win a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate.

How cool is that?

Jenna

 

 

 

p.s. If you feel like leaving me a note on the blog about YOUR biggest challenges getting your creative work out into the world, I’d love to hear from you in the comments section below.

p.p.s. If you know of someone who might be a good candidate for me to interview, please encourage them to take my survey. Thank you!

Free TeleCall & Chat: The Truth About Finding & Living Your Life Purpose

May 12, 2011 by Leave a Comment

TOMORROW, Thursday,  May 12th from 10 to 11 a.m. Pacific / 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern, I’m hosting a free TeleCall and Live Chat to celebrate and share with you about:

* The Truth About Finding & Living Your Life Purpose *

On the call, I’ll be talking about what it means to find and live your life purpose, why it’s not the panacea it appears to be, but why it’s also one of the most inspiring and motivating pieces of information you can have in your life tool kit.

I’ll also be sharing 3 inspiring questions you can use to help you stay on track with living your life purpose, and a bit about hand analysis — the powerful technology I use to illuminate your Life Purpose — how it works and why I think it’s the best way to discover your Life Purpose I’ve seen (and I’ve explored many methods).

But most of all, I’ll be answering YOUR questions about figuring out your Life Purpose and getting back on track with what you were put here to do.

You don’t need to register to join in. Just call in at the right time and you’ll be able to listen to me sharing — and answering your questions — about how to live your Life Purpose.

Here’s how to participate:

Join the conference call by phone:

Dial: (712) 432-0075

Talk to you tomorrow!

Warmly,

Unforseen Consequences

May 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Okay, so I sent out an email earlier tonight to those of you on my mailing list about a fun idea I’ve had for a while — giving a prize (a $50 gift certificate) to people who spot me using French phrases in my blog posts.

For whatever reason, I seem to do that with some regularity and I thought it would be a fun game to play.

But, as soon as I sent the message I realized that: 1) I was making a “race” for the first person to get there, 2) encouraging people to not really read my blog post but just skim through it look for a phrase / possibly discouraging people from reading the posts in their entirety, and 3) possibly coming across like I was only trolling for blog comments.

Ugh.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that none of these were my intentions at all — I was really just aiming to have fun, make a game of something I seem to be doing anyway, and reward those of you who are paying attention. :)

I may change the “rules” so that it’s a drawing for people who post the requisite note within 24 hours of the post, or widen it to include responses via Twitter and Facebook. I’m not sure. I may even up the prize amount. But I was excited to give Gina a gift certificate for $50 tonight for spotting one.

Thanks for playing with me, everyone! If you have any fun ideas, let me know.

So Apparently The Universe Wasn’t Kidding

April 5, 2011 by 9 Comments

I got a memo from the Universe a few weeks ago (an intuitive nudge) about taking some time this week off, so I said, “Okay! I’m ready.” I knew I had a lot planned for the time between then and now (retreats, bookkeeping, tax preparation, promoting my Voice Your Vision retreat, group in-person hand analysis work, etc), and I figured time off around now would be good. So I rescheduled all my stuff for Thursday and Friday this week so my son and I could go visit my friend and play for a few days. So far so good.

Then last week I got another memo. It said, “Take the whole week off.”

So I rescheduled everything except two so-I-thought un-reschedulable things for today (Tuesday).

But apparently the Universe wasn’t kidding because now I am cancelling those too — I came down with a whopper of a cold (*again*). Time to rest! I wasn’t listening well enough, so now I am REALLY listening. :)

Looking forward to connecting with you next week.

A Rich Conversation About Communicating Your Deep Transformative Work With Powerful Language

February 25, 2011 by 1 Comment

If you missed my powerful call with Isabel Parlett today called, “How to Say What You Do, and Why It’s Key to Doing Your Calling,” you can still listen to the recording (see below).

I’ve already been hearing great feedback from some of my star clients who were on the call. If you missed it, you can download the recording using this link or you can listen online here:

[display_podcast]


Isabel and I had a wonderful, rich conversation and she did some terrific laser coaching with several people on the call to help them refine their “elevator speeches” to have more soul.

You know about elevator speeches, right?

Those are those prepared phrases we’re supposed to have ready to say when someone asks, “So, what do you do?”

Isabel is a master at helping you bring your true spirit and depth to what you say you do, so YOU feel good about sharing it when people ask.

Today we talked about some of the hard questions about making a great elevator speech (or as Isabel also likes to call it, your “verbal introduction,” like:

  • How find words that don’t feel stilted or sound like what everybody else is saying.
  • Whether or not to modify your elevator speech depending on who you’re speaking with.
  • How to make your words sound more conversational and less rehearsed.
  • How to speak to who your audience is and what they want AND infuse your words with your deeper true spirit.
  • And much more — we had a great time sharing about our time working together and the value I’ve received from it.

Isabel mentions a few resources on the call, including:

1. Her free video series available through Tuesday, which goes in a bit more depth with some of the information I shared on the call. You can access the free videos here.

2. Her brand-new home study program, “How to Say What You Do When What You Do Is Deep, Powerful & Hard to Describe.” She is offering some great bonuses and incentives (including $100 off the retail price) for anyone who picks up the program by the end of the day Tuesday (she’s extended the deadline mentioned on the call by one day.)

How to Say What You Do, and Why It’s Key to Doing Your Calling

February 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment

A Conversation with Jenna Avery and Isabel Parlett

Without the right words, it’s hard to make “the big thing you’re here to do” come to life. It’s hard to hold on to your own focus and clarity, and it’s even harder to communicate what you’re doing in a way that lets other people in on the fun.

I first worked with Isabel in 2004, when I found myself struggling to describe my own deep, powerful, and hard-to-describe work. Isabel’s help was instrumental in helping me get my coaching business “on the map.” Since then, I continue to consult with Isabel when it comes to matters of communication as my work continues to evolve.

Isabel has a gift for showing business owners, especially those whose work is intangible, transformative, or unusual, how to find clear, simple, soulful language to clarify their core message, communicate their value, and create an elevator speech their audience will actually understand.

I want to invite you to join me for an interactive conversation with Isabel and I on Friday, February 25th at 11:30 Pacific (12:30 Mtn, 1:30 Central, 2:30 Eastern), where we’ll explore:

In this interactive conversation, Isabel and I will explore:

  • The power of words to make the thing you do come to life
  • The key to having more fun and finding better words
  • How you know if you’ve found the right message
Isabel is one of my all-time favorite and best coaches and mentors — I’m thrilled to have the chance to share her with you.
