Like many of you, I just love the fresh start the New Year brings, and I enjoy taking time look over the progress made over the previous year.
An area I look at is my posts. Overall website traffic increased over %130 in 2014. Wow! I looked through the posts to see what is working and which posts you were most interested in, so I can continue to help you in best possible way I can.
Is it possible to craft a great day even if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Habits and rituals make kicking off a great day more likely. Sometimes it comes down to doing one thing as many achievers have found.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone or every morning. The infographic above makes that clear. Finding what works for you is the key. Yes! Remember too that your day may start a little differently on different days of the week. (more…)
Often, we may experience emotional hijacking when problems show up, especially if they catch us by surprise. Whether personal or work related,we are often so overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the moment, we may not see the solutions clearly. How do we keep that from getting us stuck?

I’m thrilled to give you a peek into a coach’s toolkit today. Have you ever wondered how coaches help clients to find sure footing on the path to reaching their goals? Creating alignment in three key areas puts you on a potentially unstoppable course to achieving your desired results.
Thoughts of work or personal matters can have a way of ruining a good night sleep. Do they sometimes wake you in the middle of the night with a flutter of mental activity? At times it’s stress, then at other times interests or excitement over something you can’t wait to do.
Last night was a mixture of both for me, and now, here I am sitting at Starbucks getting a midday boost as I write this.
I had a profound experience this time. There’s a tool that I’ve used successfully in the past, but had forgotten about until last night. As I struggled to stop “thinking” I remembered, “these are my thoughts. I’m the boss.” (more…)
What do productive people do to get that way? I know productivity isn’t everything in life, but it sure is important. A good friend of mine showed me this info-graphic recently. Her comment was “It made me think of you.” I was surprised to find that I actually do 23 of the things listed here.
I can’t say that the whole list resonates with me, or that I would recommend them all.
As a coach I see several things on this list I use to work with clients. See if you can spot them. Be sure to check it out and see which ones can add value to your life. (more…)
Is all this mind stuff just a hoax? Are all these thought gurus just telling us what we want to hear and making a profit on it? I get hit with these kind of questions too. Using mind tools, when there is so much work to be done can seem like a waste of time and an unhealthy distraction.
Being in the middle of a life direction shift and a career adjustment has got me looking at so many areas of my life. The crazy thing is that, I have had it quite good. I’ve done things I’ve enjoyed and experienced a relatively meaningful life of contribution.
Now I’m looking for more. I’m at a point were I need to grow and reach the next stage development in my life. After the age of 40 it can be hard to see how to change and shift in the new direction I feel drawn to. (more…)
That feeling in your gut can be terrifying. You know, the one that comes at a moment when you need to choose. “Do I want to stay where I am in life, or do I want to move on to something else?” Myself, I wanted to dance. I didn’t know how to, but I wanted to be were people were having fun. So how did I make that happen? What keeps some people from taking that kind of a leap?
As I look back, I realize something. When I was young it was easier to make changes or do something new. Why? I was growing, learning, and finding out about life.
As I’ve gotten older, those choices and the decisions I’ve made, have formed into my paradigm. In our youth we are still very engaged in the process. Then, we settle over time. (more…)
