I talk to women every day who know that they want and need change. Some of them have no idea what that could look like, others do but aren’t sure how to get there. And then there are those who know exactly where they are at, what they want to change and how to go about it.
What many of them have in common is that they are waiting.
For the right moment to arrive, for the money to show up, for the circumstances to be better, for the weight to come off, for the husband to find a job, for the kids to leave the house, for the boss to retire, for _______.
I know I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: If there is something you want to change in your life, do it today. Waiting won’t chase away the fear; it won’t make the vision any clearer or the situation any more perfect.
What makes the fear disappear is taking active steps in the right direction.
Here is the paradox: The minute you do, you’ll realize that the time couldn’t be more perfect. The picture will get clearer and you’ll see that the opportunities are right in front of you. However, you can’t see that until you take the first step.
These steps don’t have to be big. As a matter of fact, they can be tiny.
Make one phone-call. Sign up for a class. Get a new hair-cut. Put on different glasses. Pick a flower. Ride your bike. Send a letter.
What will happen is that you’ll start building your appetite. Your appetite for more change, bigger steps, different actions, more aliveness and a better life.
Go for it. If you don’t know how to do it, call me. I’ll help you to figure it out.
With love,
Karin

"I need to start with this: Karin is awesome! From the first time we spoke I knew I wanted to work with her because of her incredibly intuitive gift as a coach and teacher. She nailed it every time I had fears or insecurities and I left every session feeling empowered, encouraged and excited. From the heart to the point, I hope to be able to be near as good of a coach as Karin. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor and I'm very proud to be a graduate of Karin's Coaching Academy."
"I feel so fortunate that I discovered Karin Lehmann International! Before I began working with Karin, I felt scattered, frustrated and couldn't seem to find a direction to focus my true passions and create something I can be proud of and enjoy. Her insight, wisdom and creative inspiration helped me find that clear direction. I couldn't be more pleased with what we created during our coaching sessions and I look forward to working with Karin again." 
“Karin is a careful listener for your deepest needs and desires. I have worked with her several times over the last ten years and I always experience profound insights to help me with the next level of my own work. With her calm strength and compassion, Karin creates a space for me to see beyond my own fears and worries. Thanks to her loving attention and support I am able to make important decisions from my heart. I love my coaching experiences with Karin and highly recommend her to anyone who is in search for what’s next!” 
„Karin has the gift of seeing the best in every person. Within my first session she assisted me to understand myself better; she helped me to find out what I really want and what my special talents are. Going on a ‘treasure hunt’ with Karin has been so much fun and I will always be grateful to her for uncovering my life path with such ease. Thanks to Karin I am so much happier today! -Franziska Fischer, Berlin
"Karin Lehmann has a unique ability of identifying one's special gifts & talents. She has coached me to show me my expertise and has encouraged me to bring forth my talents and let go of the fear of using them as my career.
Karin is very insightful into the human drama that takes place everyday. She has helped me to identify the things in my every day life that have stopped me from living my dream. I highly recommend her!" 
"Wow! Karin is amazing. Within two short weeks, I booked a commercial, got a call back for another one, and I am having so much fun. I'm starting to live my life as if every day were the weekend! I feel so fortunate to have had Karin come into my life. She helps transform you in a very gentle, organic way that just feels RIGHT. Yay!" 
“My work with Karin has changed my life! In my daily interactions with clients, friends and significant others, her brilliance rings in my ears. She taught me to relax and let joy be the barometer for my life. Her wisdom, clarity and honest perception of the moment is remarkable." 
“In one session with Karin I was able to really get to what lights me up. Being a life-coach myself I was amazed at how I had missed the obvious that Karin so easily picked up on. She was able to quickly get a true sense of me and what really matters in my life. I am now spending more time and energy on just that. Karin shifted my attention from what I should be doing to what I really am passionate about, and everything is flowing easily now." 
“Coaching with Karin put the fun back into my life. She "tuned in" immediately to my needs and created a space without any pressure so that I could clearly see my next step. Energy for my life and career has returned. Thank you, Karin!" 
“Karin encouraged me to keep looking in my heart for what I wanted in my life and not to settle for anything less than what makes me absolutely happy and fulfilled. Out of that I was able to build a strong and powerful relationship, start my own business and bring the fun back into my life!" -Dana Minney, Austin
