Finding the Guru Within
About 3 years ago I thought I found my business guru, the person who was going to help me turn all my gifts and talents into the “6 figure business” I desired, while only working a few hours a day. She had a system. All I had to do was believe in myself enough to…

What I’m Into
A question that I’m frequently asked is “How do you learn all this stuff?” That’s an easy answer. I read constantly. So today I’m going to share with you the just some of the authors that are stacked up on my desk, my bedside table, and in my computer bag; I’m going to let you…

Creating New Pathways Through Disappointment
I was invited by a client to walk with her as she processed feelings of great disappointment. Through out our conversation she was able to turn this experience around from “I was a fool to get excited” to “This experience helps me better understand where I want to go next with my work. I am…

Joy at Work – Creating Your Own Culture
I had coffee with an acquaintance who also is a therapist. She was sharing how she sees more and more clients who are stuck in their work and how their inability to leave causes them to go into survival mode, resentfully counting the days until retirement. This stress of feeling stuck professionally wreaks havoc in…

A deep dive so you can swim easier and faster!
When is the last time you took a deep dive into your work habit and patterns? When did you consider what you do each day to see how it really aligns with what you most need to get done to achieve your goals? Most of us get so busy that we forget to stop and take…

The Give Away – and others forms of letting go
I’ve had the “letting go” theme pop up quite a bit lately, professionally and personally. Letting go has shown up not in big ways but in small ways, mostly through experiences created by me and for me. I guess the Universe is indicating it is time for a little more practice! How are you doing…
