Touching Base - it's been a while blogging - but we're here.

Hi All -

I know, I know - it's been ages. I know how you are - many of you. So you guys know what we've been up to. For the rest of you...

We're definitely here. Motivating, transitioning, career changing, career upgrading, career fixing, executive managing, seminars, workshops, individual coaching and corporate coaching and on and on with all our clients. It's been hectic but fun. Of course in true "shoemaker's children" fashion our own site is taking a back seat in order to focus on you and getting you out there, motivated and in the best way possible.

Until we're back here - we're still here. I mean here - call 646.355.8759, email 411 at dlcecc.com or tweet out on twitter @coachkiki and there we'll be, and then we'll answer and then we'll chat and then and then and then and then....

Where are the (new) blogs?

Hey all,

It's been great hearing from you on Twitter/Facebook/email/phone and, of course, in person. We're revamping the blogs so you'll be able to access them all from one spot.

So, if you're making a career or other kind of transition and dealing with some coaching4kids issues at the same time- well, you won't have to travel very far. I mean, nowadays, an extra click can feel 'so close yet so far'.

We'll also be adding one more - that's the one where I say what I really think about lots and lots of career, transition and education/learning issues. So many of you have been asking to hear it like it is - I have no choice but to tell it like it is.

We're hoping for an early 2010 launch. Until then, keep the Tweets/FB messages, emails, phone calls and personal meetings coming. We appreciate you and feel so lucky to have all of you in our lives.

Happy Holidays and remember to -
Enjoy the day your way,
Rebecca Kiki

3rd National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day Coming Up Soon

3rd National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day Coming Up Soon
Hi All,

September arrives and with it 9/11 and all our memories of that day, the people we lost, our beloved Twin Towers, the NYC skyline, the way our world, and our perceptions of the world, changed.

We mourn and remember on 9/11 but what about the day after? What about the people who survived? What about the first-responders and everyone who experienced the day that changed everything? What about the people who suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of the trauma they experienced?

On 9/12 we commemorate those people, we raise awareness of PTSD and we encourage all around the nation to do the same.

The commemorations began in NY and in the years since has expanded to places all around the country. Seminars, information dissemination, support groups and workshops as well as education about PTSD is only part of what we do to raise awareness of PTSD.

This year, after meetings and many discussions we've decided to include PTSD awareness in many of the situational events and circumstances that can cause PTSD. We will continue to commemorate PTSD Awareness Day on 9/12 (September 12th) as well as continue the educational and awareness opportunities and events throughout the week of 9//12 - 9/19.

For more information please email us at 411@dlcecc.com.
Wishing everyone a healthy September,
DLCECC
