How To Enroll Others In Your Vision

Enrolling others in your vision is what helps it to grow. Enrolling another person is a conversation about what’s possible, not about what’s wrong, or what happened in the past, or what could happen wrong in the future. It’s literally a conversation from one Inner Voice to another about passion, possibility, and expansion. When we […]

Scared Blind

I had the stye from hell. It was so big and annoying. It wouldn’t go away. I had it for a whole month and now it’s finally diminished enough to say it’s healed up. My eyelid was so swollen I could hardly see for a couple days. The eye doctor said I might have to […]

Pick A Horse And Ride It

Passionate Choices Lead To Potent Consequences* I had an uneasy realization this past weekend. I’ve been addicted to the Aha’s. The breakthroughs, the process, the dramatic realizations and discovery of personal truth. There’s nothing wrong with those things in general, in fact they are awesome and totally part of the journey. But I found myself […]

Retreat & Retrieve

I’m writing this week’s article from 35,000 feet on my way to Minneapolis for a retreat with my coach and mastermind group.

What is it costing you to be virtuous?

Do you like to be thought of as patient, tolerant, and willing? Yeah, me too. (Though I must admit, patience isn’t exactly one of the virtues I’ve cultivated over the years!) This week, to kick off my Lead From The Heart Program I’ve asked participants to make a list of what they’ve been tolerating in […]

Creating A “Blizzard of AAH’s” in Your Business

You don’t know if you can until you are doing it.  There is no other way.  Create a crisis: a need or a problem that in the solving of it will call all of your skills, genius, and yes, even your courage and cojones to solve it…or die trying. ~KMP   My husband, Mike, was […]

Middle Mind Myths

The Middle has a mythology all it’s own. Forget Grimm’s Fairy Tales.  Those are child’s play compared to the sinister myths that keep folks muddling in the middle for years.  Never quite slipping into the oblivion of total emotional follower, and never quite elevating oneself to conscious thought leader, the middle is a holding zone. […]

Breakdowns & Breakthroughs

  Breakdowns suck.  They just do. What I know to be true though is that with every breakdown comes a breakthrough—if you can stay in the game long enough and ride out the discomfort, fear and urge to quit. In today’s post I’ll describe what breakdown is, some signs you may be in it, and […]
