Interests

  • General

    My clients' success (as they define success) is my first focus - what their goals are and what they are trying to accomplish. I enjoy seeing my clients soar and reach goals that they did not originally see as possible! It is why I do what I do. I generally don't like talking about me, so if you are interested in the details, check out this site that shares it all and then some. http://www.stephaniecalahan.com/
  • Music

    My dad taught music for 18 years, so if you look at my CD collection, you will see everything from Hip Hop to Classical - New Age to Funk - Country to Hard Rock - Gospel to Contemporary- Pop to Latin and more.

    I actually play different kinds of music to influence different types of work that I do, so I play different stuff all of the time.

    I took private voice lessons all the way through my final year in college (and got "A"s!) I love to sing, although I don't do it as much in public anymore.

    I started playing instruments in 5th grade. My primary instrument was the French Horn, but I have also played the Mela phone, Trumpet and a variety of percussion instruments.
  • Television

    Don't really have any. I'm a channel flipper. T.V. is mostly background noise for me.
  • Heroes

    So who do I look to for inspiration? My dad, through all of his various jobs, has had a huge positive impact on me and on thousands of people in his life by helping them grow and develop into better individuals. He has done so with a huge amount of modesty, passion and charisma. I can only hope to have such a positive impact on those I work with!

About me:

View my FriendFeed

ACTIVITIES

* Teaching people how to set processes in place that allow them to focus on what is really important in their life.

* Consulting with my clients at Calahan Solutions, Inc.

* Speaking on a number of different topics!

* Love to tickle my son (and he loves to be tickled)

* Play with my Havanese puppy

* Sing, write, read, listen to music, have long conversations on a number of topics, take long casual walks and eat chocolate (I am such a chocoholic!)

INTERESTS

* Learning about others and their life experiences. I just think that people are fascinating. I love learning and find many topics interesting. That could be why my major changed multiple times in college and I ended up with 2 degrees.

* My Family - all of them!

* Public Speaking - it is an amazing experience to see a person's eyes light up and come alive when you show them what they're capable of!

* Problem Solving - A problem is just an opportunity without a solution. I love helping others find those solutions to turn their situation around into something very positive.

* Making connections - there are amazing people with all kinds of skills and I like to meet them and hook them up with others that will help them really expand their businesses.

WORDS THAT OTHERS HAVE USED TO DESCRIBED ME

Passionate, Driven, Invested in Others, Loving, Organized, Silly (ok - my son says this!)

    Hey, welcome to myspace Stephanie. If I could be your first testimonial, your suggestions for scheduling my time and taking notes on separate note cards has been working out like a dream! Hope you are smiling, and my love to your big & littler man friends.
