My previous post introduced you to the Personal Process Improvement (PPI) coaching program. Now, I’d like to tell you how PPI’s 10 Step Program works. If you haven’t read about PPI, see below. To briefly recap: PPI was designed for successful businessmen over 50 who feel trapped in jobs they hate, primarily because of a feeling of being too old to find a new job and because of financial obligations. The program enables you to decide whether to stay in your current job in full control of your life or to leave it prepared for the next opportunity. It leverages similar concepts and processes from the well-known Continuous Lean Process Improvement Program and applies them to a personal transformation. The systematic approach provides a familiar roadmap to deliver sustainable results. By employing proven coaching strategies within the framework of PPI, change is achieved more quickly than other strategies.
 
Those strategies, called Strategic Intervention (SI), were developed by Tony Robbins, the “father of coaching” and have been proven to help millions of people. SI was developed on the belief that you have the power within to turn your life around. The strategies have been developed from decades of research into human psychology and proven by undeniable results. SI is about understanding your own needs and replacing any destructive patterns with positive ones you’ve defined. Then it’s about cementing those new patterns into your physiology as the most powerful way to ensure sustainable change.
 
PPI is the Roadmap. The roadmap takes you through 10 action-oriented sessions using SI methodologies. The first 3 sessions focus on you and the last 7 sessions shift to understanding and meeting the needs of those closest to you which is the only way you will get your own needs met. Each step along the way is designed to give you the tools to build the life you want. By Step 10 you will have built you own Practice Toolkit to create change and to sustain it.

We start with a FREE 20 minute consultation to let you decide if PPI can help. We’ll discuss the steps in more detail and I’ll answer any questions you might have. If you are ready to take back control and change your life then the first 3 sessions, Assessing Your Mindset, are geared to understanding your current situation, state of mind and values. We’ll build at least one of the practice tools you’ll use to shift destructive patterns keeping you trapped.

Assess Your Mindset.  Three sessions to understand YOU, the 1st step to sustainable change. 

• 1st Session: Explore your  current situation, state of mind and motivations
• 2nd Session: Identify  values most important to you in your personal and professional life and determine which ones are not being met
• 3rd Session: Define Practice #1 of your customized PPI Practice Toolkit to create a new positive pattern

We’ll stop there and ask, if you can make a decision about your job and feel good about it then great. If not, let’s learn how you can meet the needs of others in your immediate circle of personal and professional relationships. Meeting their needs while making sure you meet yours is the key to success.

Transform Your Relationships and Sustain the New You.  Seven sessions to understand the needs of those closest to you and build several tools for your Practice Toolkit.

• 4th Session: Identify the people in your professional life important in making a change
• 5th Session: Understand their values, motivations and patterns of behavior
• 6th Session: Build PPI Toolkit with Practice #2 to manage your work relationships
• 7th Session: After practicing, evaluate results. Develop a Practice #3 if needed
• 8th Session: Identify values and needs of spouse and other personal relationships
• 9th Session: Develop PPI Toolkit Practice #3 (#4…)
• 10th Session: Evaluate results from an integrated set of PPI Toolkit Practices

The Personal Process Improvement (PPI) Program Puts You Back in Control of Your Life
 
As a man over 50 in a job you hate, the odds are you feel trapped and unable to leave. It’s easy to understand why. The prevailing sentiment is that you are too old and no one is going to hire you. On top of that, you have financial obligations a younger person doesn’t yet have and a lifestyle you and your family don’t want to give up. If all of these factors sound familiar, there is a way out. Don’t stay in a situation feeling resentful and miserable. Start today to turn around your life and take control of your future!

The Personal Process Improvement (PPI) coaching program was specifically designed to help men such as you create the life and future they want. Successful businessmen understand how to tackle business challenges and fix them. Now you can apply some of the same business principals to resolve problems in your own life. Think about it; a turnaround specialist is brought in when a business is in trouble. You can be your own turnaround specialist by implementing the Personal Process Improvement program (PPI) developed by Christine Caldwell Caching, a certified Life Coach and former business executive.

The PPI coaching program leverages similar concepts and processes from the well-known Continuous Lean Process Improvement Program but applies them on a personal level. The systematic approach provides a familiar roadmap to deliver sustainable results. By employing proven coaching strategies created by Tony Robbins, the “father” of coaching, within the framework of PPI, change is achieved more quickly than other strategies. Tony has helped millions of people transform their lives to the ones they want and his strategies will help you as well.
 
 PPI is based on three Key Concepts and 4 Steps:

1. The Mindset is a continuous process

3. A systematic approach delivers sustainable results faster

 
The 4 Steps:

• Assess.  PPI reviews your particular situation, state of mind, motivations and values

• Plan. PPI builds a customized PPI Practice Toolkit with the tools to transform your life
• Practice. Repetition makes new changes stick
• Evaluate what worked and what didn’t work. Then you use the tools you’ve developed to.…

​Okay, maybe it’s not as bad as the photo depicts but family-owned businesses can cause some major blowouts. Roles learned and cemented several years, or even decades, ago as children can derail the success of a business and even put it into jeopardy. I know. My now ex-husband and I ran a $2+million business. It had the potential to be much larger but we worked against each other. There were screaming matches and sabotage that also exacted a toll on each of our emotional states. They carried over to our personal lives and to the emotional well-being of our son.

We know that all sorts of companies can have issues that prevent optimal growth and profitability. But family-owned businesses can exaggerate the problems and add ones of their own. This is especially true when siblings take over from the founder and potentially even worse when the grandchildren take over.  There is a saying about family-owned businesses in Mexico: “Father, founder of the company, son rich, and grandson poor” (Padre noble, hijo rico, nieto pobre). What the saying really means is the founder works and builds a business, the son takes it over, poorly prepared to manage and make it grow but enjoying the wealth. By the time the grandson inherits the business it is dead-on-arrival with an empty bank account to boot.

For anyone in a family-owned business, the challenges listed below will ring true. This is where a coach can help you step back, gain a perspective, understand the roles you may have brought in from childhood  and learn a new way of interacting. The net result is a healthier business, one that is enjoying growth and improving profitability for all concerned.
This is just a small sampling of issues but are some of the worst offenders that wreak havoc on a company’s success.
1.       Emotions run amok. Hyper-critical mother or father, sibling rivalries, birth order, divorces, you name it, it affects the health of the business..
2.       Just give me the money. An attitude of “the company owes me” even when it may be in decline.
3.       Who is the boss? A biggie, for sure, as everyone thinks they are the boss.
4.       No talent or expertise. Who’s kidding, who. These are all biggies.
5.       Waiting for mom or dad to die. We know someone is thinking about it even if they don’t say it out loud.
6.       “Do as I say not what I do.” How many times did you hear that as a child? And it maddeningly continues as an adult.

If you think your family business could use some help to resolve these issues, please go to www.christinecaldwellcoaching.com. or email me at christineacaldwell@gmail.com for a free consultation.
