Values-Based Success: Meet Tabby Hinderaker

On the first of the month, each Acceleration Masterminder sends me an accountability journal highlighting, among other things, wins from the past month. At 5 minutes after midnight on August 1, I received one Masterminder’s journal along with this email:

I’ve been so excited I almost sent this to you a week ago, but I’m so glad I didn’t because so much more awesome stuff has happened! My heart bursts with gratitude and my whole body tingles with excitement.

What better way to introduce Tabby Hinderaker!

Tabby joined the Acceleration Mastermind just a few months after starting dailyARC Coaching and Consulting, the venture she began upon leaving corporate America. Like all the Masterminders, she set professional Bold Goals at the start of the year with a commitment to maintaining family time, self-care, and service to her community. A “recovering perfectionist and workaholic,” she clarified her values at Spark last year and realized she wanted to ignite her business success quickly – but not at the expense of all else.

Early on in the Mastermind, Tabby experienced a big Aha:

I set a very aggressive revenue goal for my business but realized that was driving the wrong behaviors. What I really wanted was to fully integrate my core values into my life and business so I could become more of my true self and attract the clients I am meant to serve. The Mastermind helped me see that I was stuck in an old mentality that fit my prior career and industry, and I realized that money didn’t have to be my goal but could instead be one of many measurements I might use to gauge success.

From that point forward, Tabby has been unstoppable – and her business is flourishing. She is coaching her ideal clients (who, in turn, are thriving), consulting, speaking to groups, writing – all activities that utilize her strengths and align fully with her values. In addition, she will hold her first retreat this fall – another Bold Goal she set early in the Mastermind. In just over a year, her business has gone from “great idea” to a vibrant and joyful practice.

I have been blessed with countless fresh ideas, new perspectives, and many “light bulb moments” every time the Mastermind meets. I have made significant changes to how I structure my day, how I prioritize my time, and how I approach “selling.” Most importantly, I have made these amazing new friends and am a better person because of them.

Whenever you work with a coach you experience some surprises, often coaching around something completely different than what you had originally thought. Tabby’s biggest surprise: 

My biggest surprise was learning how little I trusted myself. “You say ‘I think’ a lot,” Christi noticed during one of our coaching sessions. As I reflected on this, I realized just how often I was over-thinking and over-planning, and how much valuable time this was wasting. I started experimenting with my time and began trusting my intuition, then facilitated one of my best workshops ever! I now feel more confident and am a much better coach and facilitator because of it.

What’s more, Tabby has experienced incredible transformation in her own personal growth:

Even though I’ve worked hard, I’ve also allowed a significant amount of time for play – which is a big deal for this high-achieving workaholic. I am developing my spirituality, mending relationships that have been neglected, and this closed-off, hard-hearted woman is learning to love myself just as I am.

Tabby has fully embraced a mindset of abundance and gratitude, which you will easily see demonstrated in her work, on social media, and in conversation. You can learn more about Tabby and her coaching and facilitation work at www.yourdailyarc.com.
