Coach Mary Olk, Ph.D.

March 4th – March Forth!

Mary — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:51:51 +0000

March 4th is my friend and colleague Cheryl Leitschuh’s favorite date because it is more than a date – It is a call to ACTION! This year, I am celebrating this call to action by starting a unique Coaching Class: Get Good at Living for young adults who are ready to move beyond surviving to thriving. During this 4 month interactive and action oriented program we will create the mental, emotional and physical strength needed to sustain positive change.

DON’T DELAY – There are less than 2 weeks left to join me for an inspiring and practical program that will teach you the positive life skills to GET GOOD AT LIVING!

Can’t wait to hear from you,

Meet the Gremlin Tamer February 9

Mary — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:12:12 +0000

“Your gremlin is the sleazy malcontent lurking in the shadows of your very own mind. Left to do his thing, he’ll zap your health, foul up your relationships, dampen your creativity and send you tumbling into low-down funks and anxious fits.”

Would you like to learn more about Taming Your Gremlin® directly from the man who created the popular and powerful Gremlin-Taming Method?

Then join me on Feb. 9! Rick Carson will be my guest for The Growing Edge Free Teleclass.

Rick is the author of Taming Your Gremlin® (and 3 other books). Visit the Gremlin Taming Institute to learn more about his work.

We’re looking forward to a lively and highly interactive half hour. Any personal, interpersonal or client-related issue is grist for the mill, so come with your questions and be prepared to participate!

Talk to you soon!

New Year – Now What?!

Mary — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:43:59 +0000

Happy 2012!

What is your tradition for welcoming the New Year? Some people PARTY. Some people make resolutions. I like to do something inspiring and long lasting – I create an INTENTION for the year!

What is an intention?
How is it different than a resolution or goal?
How do I create something that lasts the whole year?

Join me on January 12th and find out. Come to The Growing Edge FREE teleclass and create an inspiring personal intention for 2012. Who knows, maybe we will start a new tradition for welcoming the New Year.

I am looking forward to hearing your voice on the call!

Retreat: An Essential Daily Practice

Mary — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:38:20 +0000

It is a gray and chilly day here in Minnesota. Every now and then a few snowflakes drift by. What a perfect day for a retreat!
Today in the Growing Edge Teleclass, my friend and Retreat Coach Extraordinaire, Michelle Burns, treated us to a lovely mini-retreat. She guided us to an inner landscape of renewal; helping each one of us experience a wonderful, relaxing, peaceful retreat. Here is where I went…

In less than 10 minutes, we felt refreshed and refueled.

AMAZING!

All of us left the teleclass with a renewed commitment to carve out some sacred down time each day. Some people will be taking walks in nature. Others will be creating time to meditate. Still others decided to create Technology Free Zones during their week. I renewed my commitment to no screen time for 30 minutes before bed each day.

With the barrage of constant connectivity from cell phones, emails, mp3 players, texting, iPads, laptops, etc. — we need down time to reconnect with ourselves to know who we are and what we want.

How are you going to create a retreat for yourself today?

PS. If you want a two hour time block for yourself, join Michelle and me for a VIRTUAL RETREAT on November 20. Click here for the details

The Importance of Retreat

Mary — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:00:06 +0000

“When was the last time you went on retreat?”

When my friend and retreat coach Michelle Burns asked me that question, I was stumped. Who me? I couldn’t possibly take time for a retreat. I have too many projects to do and looming work deadlines. Our household routine is jammed with homework, soccer, piano, chores. Where would I find the time?

BAM! It hit me — I really could benefit from a retreat!

Join me on November 10th when I host a conversation with Retreat Coach Michelle Burns, CEO and founder of Design Your Destiny. We will visit the importance of retreat and treat you to a mini-retreat. Come explore this innovative, counter-cultural tool that will inspire your growing edge.

AND — we will be share details about our upcoming VIRTUAL RETREAT for RENEWAL — which we will be hosting on November 20^th.
