Losing Your Mind?

I heard Richard Boyatzis speak last week about Emotional Intelligence at Linkage's Global Institute for Learning & Development where I was newly appointed as coach faculty. He said: When we are under stress, we lose cognitive, emotional and perceptual abilities. We all lose brain neurons all the time, but we lose more of them when under stress, even little stresses like the computer is taking too long to boot up, or someone cuts us off in the car. Our bodies can and do regenerate neurons when we are in parasympathetic state and moments of renewal like meditation, yoga, loving relationships, and acting hopeful about the future.

Start increasing job and happiness in your life if you want to keep your senses and brain power!

What's Stopping You From Reinventing Your Career

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Randi Bussin, Career Coach and Personal Branding Specialist, for our TV show, "Wake Up with Wendy." I met Randi Bussin in college and we reconnected several years ago at an ICF (International Coach Federation) event.

Yesterday's show, which will be posted on our Magic Parties website and on blip.tv starting November 1, was about "career reinvention". Randi is a specialist in helping people reinvent themselves, which means change careers, look for the next job, figure out what they want to be next in life etc. She is my "go-to" resource for all things job search and career re-branding related.

During the TV show, Randi shared her tips and keys to success for reinventing yourself in your career and has posted them on her blog.
Take a look.

What is Wendy's Background?

I have 20 plus yrs of experience working in the executive and leadership development field. Our consulting team coaches, trains, and consults to develop the leadership skills of entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. We help our clients discover more powerful ways of leading in their communities and their organizations increasing results, changing themselves and those they touch, and leaving a legacy that makes a lasting footprint they are proud of. You can find out more about my business background and the work we do by going to my business website at

In addition to my corporate work, I find myself asking the question, "Is this enough? Could I be doing something more with my gifts and talents?" And over the last few years I notice I am being drawn to expand my work beyond corporate leaders and corporations. Not an entirely new focus but a new expression. In some ways it feels like I am being called like a huge universal magnet to help others also answer the question, "What's next for me?" Thus the birth of The Magic Parties; a community of women who gather to birth themselves in a new way. A way they have forgotten. A journey into themselves and into wholeness.

And speaking to many women since starting my own journey, I notice how many of us are feeling a whole new kind of spiritual awareness awakening inside of us. For some of us, it is too embryonic to describe with any real clarity yet. But it is there. And we feel it. And for some of us, we know what it is and are sorting through how to express it and fit it into our lives. And for some of us who are living in our full gifts, we are sorting through all the possibilities for expression that are ahead of us in our journey.

A circle of women. A place to come to where we can learn, be witnessed, be connected and supported by other women on the same path. A place where we can remember who we really are; a place where we can listen to the deep source of wisdom within ourselves.

Do you sometimes feel like you are being called forth? Do you sometimes feel like God, Your Spirit Guides, Your Angels, The Goddess, The Universe is whispering your name to come forth? Do you have a yearning for something that has not happened yet but you can feel it? Taste it? And imagine it, sometimes even in detail?

Join our community by becoming a member to help yourselves and others become their best selves yet to be born.

What's a Magic Party?

Sisterhood. Spirit. And a little chocolate!

The Magic Parties is an organization for women with what we like to call a spiritual center. We are a growing network of women who want to live our best lives and have our dreams come true. We offer tools, programs, resources, and a place where, together, we can figure out what's next for you...and your real life path can be born. Life paths can be spiritual, personal, or something of a career nature. But whatever your path is...it is magical...Because together we are helping you journey into wholeness and live your best life!

We are open to any woman who is yearning to wake up and re-ignite her own journey, her own magic, and her own spirit within the safety and quiet of a circle of women. The world is calling for you to come forward. And know that your unique touch of magic will forever change the world.

We also conduct personal and corporate programs for women. We welcome you!
