Adriana Santiago, who holds the Cosmetics &amp; Skin Care seat on the Buckhead Team, recently served as 1 of 3 panelists engaged to empower women to take charge of all aspects of their health, at a luncheon event hosted by local professional womens organization ProWin.com. She was charming, funny, and beautiful as she shared important information about why and how skin care is an important part of self-care. Also present were fellow members of both ProWin and the Buckhead Team, Rebecca Brizi (Business Consultant chair) and Jinnie Schmid (yours truly, Counselor/Therapist chair).&nbsp;&nbsp;

I became a Grief Coach as a direct result of experiencing my own losses. The trigger was the death of two very close and dear family members within months of each other, but upon learning more about grief I realized how my chaotic childhood had left me carrying around alot of unresolved grief...and when I caught a glimpse of what life could be like without that added weight and burden, I determined to not only resolve my own grief, but to get certified so I could share this gift with others, too. Luckily, this was also a fulfilment of a life-long interest in helping people, specifically in the area of emotional and mental wellness - I had long wished I'd chosen psychology as a career, having been a natural confidant and advisor since the playground. Two things that are essential to my work are areas that we all probaby think come naturally to us, but in reality can benefit from lots of training and practice: listening, and questioning. I probably spend 85-90% of my time with clients offering very deep listening, which has required me to become more and more comfortable in the presence of other peoples' strong emotions. And a very specific focus of my training as a coach has been to become better and better at crafting questions that both prompt people to reflect, and create space in which they can answer authentically, often discoverying their own truths in the process. Contrary to what you might imagine, the big skill there is in simplifying one's questions, rather than getting better at crafting impressively complex ones!&nbsp;

An essential component of every InfoMinute is the Purple Card – 5 seconds about why you’re good at what you do. Use these prompts to share three:
<ul>
<li>Why did you choose this business? What about it just comes naturally to you?</li>
<li>What do you consider essential to your business success that you’ve worked hard to master?</li>
<li>Explain what a cliché means for you.</li>
</ul>
