I recently caught up with a former client, Carrie Rowan<\/a>, singer\/songwriter and author of Tell a New Story<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

During our original consultation, I suggested she incorporate QR codes to play original songs that help bring the material in the book to life. So, she wrote a book AND incorporated music from two of her CDs!<\/p>\n\n\n

Carrie shared that her book and songs opened up new opportunities for mindset coaching, corporate training and keynote speaking gigs. Not just ordinary gigs, but corporate presentations that incorporated her original music. Despite the pandemic drying up her regular musical performance opportunities, she found an exciting way to engage her creativity and keep singing on stage!<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, Carrie’s figuring out which of her many ideas to turn into her next book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it especially heartwarming that Carrie did exactly what she teaches in her book, coaching and training gigs. She could have told herself, “I can’t get any gigs. I can’t play on stage.” But, like many creative people during the pandemic, she found new ways to do what she loves. In essence, she told herself a new story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Your New Story?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, I’m not blaming people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic. But I do think when things go awry, sometimes something better can come out of it. If you do feel frustrated about changes that have occurred, I invite you to be curious and see if there’s an invitation. Maybe it’s time to really make your dreams come true. What dreams have you shelved and put off for “tomorrow”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
