1. Heres who I am and what I do Hello everyone, I am Kimber Boothe. I serve as a coach, consultant, and trainer and I am the creator of Connector Academy.

3. Me too heres my story of struggle Well, me too, I have been out of balance in the areas of my life. Since having two for the price of one - twins, for the last three years, I have had 3 children under the age of 5. I felt I was losing some parts of me that made me feel balanced and overall successful in life. Due to competing family pressures and guilt, I felt a need to suppress my career development and significantly reduced/stopped community service. 4 Connecting the Dots: From Mission to Execution December 2016 KIMBER BOOTHE
4. Heres my story of finding the solution So what did I do about these lack of connections - I embarked on a journey of professional development and personal growth to find ways to improve connections and help people achieve their individual and company goals. My journey was also shaped by my personal story including the loss of my mom at a young age, my diverse leadership experiences and becoming a mother. It has become my mission to connect the dots, create connections, and develop connectors. My vision is Connectors will Change the World. It was time that I reevaluated my priorities and that is when I started looking at and assessing my life in four areas - self, career, family/friends, and community. Some people may break this down differently, but this is what has worked best for me as everything I prioritize can go into one of these areas. 5 Connecting the Dots: From Mission to Execution December 2016 KIMBER BOOTHE
6. Heres the old world vs. the new world (myths/trends) The most common myth in the area of balanced life is that you cannot have balance. Or that you have to be superwoman superman to get it all done. 6 Connecting the Dots: From Mission to Execution December 2016 KIMBER BOOTHE
7. Heres the solution (step-by-step system in a framework) The solution I created is the CONNECTOR LIFE excellence in all areas of life - self, family/friends, career, and community framework - balanced A connector is an expert at connecting and uniting people, knowledge, and resources and their success stems from bringing a level of energy and clarity for themselves and others. You CAN have it all. My philosophy is to have as much work-life integration/connection as possible which is why I show the areas of life as a Venn diagram. 7 Connecting the Dots: From Mission to Execution December 2016 KIMBER BOOTHE

5. Heres my and my students results I have experienced many successes on my connector journey and I will share just a few with you now that relate to The Connector Life. For my self and family, I made a bold move to leave the company I was working for to move to a new opportunity that did not require as much travel. I reengaged in volunteer work for a community organization as well as my professional pharmacy organization. I did not bite off more than I can chew and definitely used the power of NO so that I could remain focuses For my career, I have balanced the time on my new business of coaching and training by stopping watching TV. While I would not give myself a 10 in all these areas, I have made significant progress. I reassess and rebalance on at least a quarterly basis and sometime more frequently.

8. Heres the most common mistakes (do s and don ts) The most common mistakes I see people make when implementing the connector life is they do not consider all aspects of their life and can become imbalanced. The other mistake is not allowing for fluctuations it is ok for the size or focus of the circle to change over time when one are o your life needs more priority such as an ill family member or a career transition. 10 Connecting the Dots: From Mission to Execution December 2016 KIMBER BOOTHE
