What’s Your 2014 GAP?

In coaching we often speak of the “gap” – that place (in the middle!) between where a person currently is and where they want to go. The gap is often an uncomfortable place because there are no instructions or roadmap to get out on your own, and it feels like one obstacle after another. Most […]

50 Shades of Leadership: Vulnerable Leaders Unbind Yourselves!

My husband got me the book 50 Shades of Gray for my birthday last fall. Oh my. It’s not going to win any literary prizes, but it sure was an, ahem, interesting read. If you don’t know what it’s about I’ll sum up for you: Sex. Power. Control. Domination. Submission. You know, just your run-of-the-mill […]

Burn Out The Old And Bring In The New!

One of my favorite traditions is the Burning Bowl Ceremony. You can find one a the Unity church near you, but just in case you’re no where near a formal burning bowl celebration, and you don’t have a fireplace you can try the following at home. This is a “smokeless fire” (however when you burn […]

Highly Sensitive Person = A Blessing and A Curse

Growing up, my sister was the “sensitive one.” I was tough, defensive, a loner, and there was no way I was going to be sensitive and admit that I needed anyone or allow myself to feel things deeply or acknowledge that I experienced far more than I let on. No. Way. Sensitive meant wimpy, soft, […]

Because You Said “Yes”

The other day I was thinking about leadership, influence, and power and wondering to myself why so many people feel as though they are powerless, or don’t see how they make a difference in the world and the lives of others. Oh, you may be thinking to yourself “I know I make a difference.” But […]

Are You Broken Yet?

I was listening to Air1 radio station the other day. I love most of the songs and the fact that the music is sometimes hard rock or rap but has a positive message. The DJ was talking about being “broken”. He was talking about how people often think of themselves as broken, as less than, […]

Quantum Leaps Are Bullshit…or are they?

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. “Quantum Leaps” are one of the coaching industry’s biggest marketing myths. I see it all over the place: “I made a quantum leap in my business”; “My income increased 300 percent overnight!”; “I went to one class and my life was radically different afterwards.” “I […]

The #1 Regret Of The Dying

What do you think the #1 regret shared by the dying is? I wish I had a bigger house. (Nope.) I wish I had a faster car. (Not even close.) I would have liked to have had more money. (Um…No.) I wish I had bigger boobs, less wrinkles, and a butt that was so perky […]

Is Your (Internal) Government Shut Down?

Let’s cut to the chase, after all you’re probably a little tired of those little voices waxing moronic as they to waste time, deflect responsibility, and “keep you safe” in the spirit of your constitution (“I’m just made this way, I can’t do anything about it, it’s how I roll”). Here’s how to know if […]
