About Beverly Buncher

“Coach Bev,” author of the forthcoming book The Four Foundations of Family Recovery: Simple Ideas to Transform Chaos to Sanity, has a knack for asking questions that make her clients reach deep within to achieve their goals and dreams.

Her professional and life experiences have given her a sense of wisdom and understanding that make her the ideal coach for family members of addicts, adults and teens in recovery, people in transition, people looking to explore their life purpose, and teens or adults striving to be leaders of their own lives. With 26 years of family recovery under her belt, Bev developed the Four Foundations©  as a tool for individuals who wish to make a difference in their own lives as well as in the lives of their families. A former school principal, Bev also coaches parents, teachers, and school leaders looking to increase their effectiveness and reduce their stress.

Coach Bev earned her MA at the University of Pittsburgh and her empowerment coaching certification (CEC) through the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching (iPEC).

Beverly’s Coaching Suggestion

As you begin to work with the four foundations (self care, being a loving person, setting boundaries, getting support), you will find parts that are easy and natural for you and parts that are harder. Rather than struggle and worry about the parts that are more difficult, look for your small and large successes in any of the four areas and celebrate them! Keep a daily journal in which you write down every success you have in putting your new habits into place. These could be anything from flossing your teeth more regularly to allowing your child to tie his own shoes instead of jumping in quickly to help to giving your teen firm, yet loving boundaries within which to operate, even when he or she pushes back. Think of the four foundations as muscles that will grow stronger with practice and everyday look for opportunities to try a new one and watch its effects take root in your life.

About Elisabeth von Trapp

Elisabeth von Trapp built upon her famed family’s passion for music to create her own artistic style—ethereal yet earthy, delicate yet powerful. Singing professionally since childhood, she has enthralled audiences throughout the United States, Austria, and Russia performing as wondrously in European cathedrals as in Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center.

Elisabeth’s cathedral program includes sacred and secular music extending from Gregorian chants and songs of 12th century mystics to early American hymns, spirituals, and Psalms set to her own compositions.

Her concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway — from Schubert to Sting. Elisabeth’s five self-produced albums have been featured on National Public Radio, BBC-Radio, Japanese National Radio, and CNN Spanish Radio; she has appeared on CBS’ Eye on People, ABC’s Good Morning America, and BBC-TV. Critics have called her voice “hauntingly clear,” “joyfully expressive,” and “simply beautiful.”

Anthony’s Coaching Suggestion

Anthony advises us that we must LOVE WHAT WE DO.  On the dark days, he says, it will be our passion and love for our business that will keep us moving forward.  He also suggests that we LEARN AS WE GO.  “I want to stress the word LEARN.  Become a sponge. Start spending time with successful business people and learn how they did it.  Make lots of small mistakes and learn from there. Read lots of books on small business, branding and marketing, and customer service. Get to the point where you go on Amazon. com and are frustrated because you’ve already read every four and five star book in their business section.”  Anthony emphasizes the word GO.  We must execute and test our business idea, he says, as soon as possible and not just continually plan.

Kate’s Coaching Suggestion

1)      Kate suggests that we examine our lives to discern where we are going it alone—and why.  Do we have to go it alone or can we delegate the job in ways that allow others to shine and that allow us to learn new ways of accomplishing the task?

2)      She also suggests that we review our connections and contacts to discover who might be our “Tontos” in the work place and/or at home.  We should then evaluate their strengths and discuss with them how we can collaborate to accomplish more with less effort.

Kim’s Coaching Suggestion

Kim offers us three steps to help us change our thinking.

2)      Renew.  Next we should write out God’s truth or principle on a 3X5 card.

3)      Rehearse.  Finally, we should read and pray this truth at least three times a day and be prepared to witness amazing results.

Nat’s Coaching Suggestion

Nat has found that being passionate and purposeful requires us to know what we personally want in life—to know what makes us happy and brings us joy.  To become clear about what we truly want, he suggests the following:

1. Create two columns on a piece of paper.
2. In the first column, write down everything you don’t like and don’t want.
3. In the second column, write down everything you do like and do want (which is often the opposite of whatever you wrote in column one).
4. Make room for what you want in your life now by actually scheduling it into your day and week.  This will help change old patterns that may be keeping you from a life full of purpose and joy.

Nat’s Quote for the Day

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it!  Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.” ~Dr. Howard Thurman

NatInterview

She became doubly frustrated as she attempted to make the transition from popular Toastmasters speaker to paid professional speaker, and from weekly newspaper columnist to author of a full-length motivational memoir. Her two-year quest to find her own special gifts and unique qualifications led to the discovery that what is most special and unique about each of are gifts and talents we don’t even realize we have. They feel so common and ordinary to us that we don’t recognize their existence or value.

Betty now helps other people find their buried treasure and use their gifts to enrich themselves and the world.

About Betty Liedtke

Shortly after her second child was born, Betty Liedtke developed breast cancer, followed by severe heart damage from chemotherapy. These experiences taught her firsthand the importance of attitude, determination, and a sense of humor in dealing with anything life throws at us.

Betty is a writer, professional speaker, and Certified Dream Coach®. She is a Distinguished Toastmaster, a member of eWomenNetwork, and a graduate of the prestigious Loft MasterTrack program from the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis.

She is also the founder and CEO of “Find Your Buried Treasure,” a company whose mission is to help people discover their strength, stretch beyond their ability, and achieve their greatest dreams. One of her strongest convictions is that nothing is impossible if we want it badly enough and are willing to do the work to achieve it.

Coaching Suggestion

Betty suggests using the following steps as a Treasure Map to Find Your Buried Treasure:

1.  Look at everything you do in your life, and ask yourself these questions about each of them.

• Do I love it?
• Am I good at it?
• Is it rewarding in some way (financially or otherwise)?

2.  Identify anything you can do to help you answer “Yes!” to all three questions—and do it.

3.  Pay attention to the things people compliment you on, seek your advice about, or admire and appreciate about you—these are great clues.

4.  Ask yourself:  “What would I dare to try if I knew I couldn’t fail?”

• Now imagine what steps you’d have to take and what work you’d have to do in order to make that happen.
• Take the first step.

“How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it.” ~Robert Brault

Coaching Suggestion

To “sabotage ourselves for great success,” Deb suggests that we write down three goals or affirmations on sticky notes and place one note on our bathroom mirror, one in a pair of shoes we don’t wear very often, and one in our car or near the coffeepot.  These little “mind vitamins,” as she calls them, will help our lives come to life in a big way.
