In the States, Labor Day which means summer is UNOFFICIALLY over…
This means the real work is here --getting ready for Q4.
Q4 is the busiest time of year for me and my clients where:
- Companies are working on hitting their numbers
- Holidays are coming up so getting ready to deal with triggering family members
- And more importantly making sure to have enough time for sanity lol
So how do you get ready?
For me I have been using all summer prepping myself for Q4 by:
- Updating my systems
- Improving my own knowledge and skills by obtaining my PCC coaching certification with the International Coaching Federation as I’ve been working with more companies and executives.
- Looking at my numbers and making changes. For example, I have deleted a bunch of expenses because I didn’t hit the numbers I wanted in the beginning of the year.
There’s been loads of updates and changes I’ve been doing behind the scenes to get ready for Q4, and I share more in my podcast.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- Review Goals: Revisit your yearly personal and business goals
- The importance of being self-aware and leaning into what’s making you feel uncomfortable
- How to look at your numbers to create aligned change

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
