It makes me sad to see you suffer from circumstances outside of your control. I recently spent two hours on FaceTime listening to and encouraging someone I care about deeply.
What makes such situations even more challenging is, when you face circumstances because of decisions you’ve made.
Feeling stuck is normal. And it’s easy to blame others. (more…)
Hi friends! I hope you had a FUN week with Halloween spooks and DRESS UP parties.
This post is for everyone but I want to give a quick shout out to ANYONE who is in transition. Good luck and STAY focused.
You may remember that I’m in currently transition, moving from China to US. During this PROCESS I’ve been working very hard to keep my focus on the big picture but now the holiday is upon us already.
ALL OF US can tend to feel overwhelmed once the HOLIDAY SEASON hits. There just seems to be one event after the other with increasing demands on our TIME and WALLET.
It can be so easy to slip into AUTOPILOT and let everything and everyone else’s demands crowd out our PRIORITIES and our GOALS. Getting through the holiday’s with your integrity intact requires some focus and that focus needs to be on YOUR VISION.
How do I do that? How can YOU do that? Watch and find out.

Surprize introductions to friends, planned job interviews, scheduled business meetings, and the list goes on of possible speaking scenarios that make people uncomfortable. Conversations can make any of us nervous to different degrees.
Sir Richard Branson wrote about his fear of public speaking in his book the Virgin Way, “There are two types of people: those who get nervous giving speeches and liars.”

I hear you saying, “But I can’t have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse).” How about “I’m too _____ to ever be good at _____.”
Some of these beliefs about yourself are a little less logical but just as limiting. “He never listens to me.” “She’s not will to do this or that for me.” Your story could be drastically changed with some simple challenging questions.

What does it mean to have “Life Balance”? Most likely if you ask any 10 people on the street, you will get 10 different answers.
We need to understand that what our life balance looks like at 25 is not what it will be when we are 55 and will be different that when we are retired. This is due to our priorities changing.
Janice has been coaching for more than two decades. She loves helping others understand, why they believe what they do and why they hold that belief, for it is the key to every decision a person makes.

As a professional coach, I encounter folks just like yourself who hire me to help them achieve a goal, overcome a challenge, or to solve something in their lives. The first thing I do with them is to give them a list of questions which basically ask them to get honest with themselves and rate where they are on a simple 1 to 10 scale of where they are in each area of their lives. Coaches call this a “Life Wheel”. (more…)
Now one would think of eating their grandma, but I read that the kids said, “Let’s eat grandma!” Sounds terrible but if you add a comma it’s a different experience. “Let’s eat, grandma!”
That’s a critical writing mistake that completely changes the outcome of the conversation, but the subconscious mind has a challenge with the actual words we use as well. The self-talk words we use play a huge role in the way our days and lives turn out.
