Today was a weird day. It started out with me being wide awake for most of the night, thoughts dancing through my head, trying to convince me that something was seriously wrong. Sort of like the tail wagging the dog, my brain had control of my emotions and random thoughts turned into full blown stories about the things I am most afraid of.
Um, not so helpful.

Dallas is a beautiful town, I think. I wouldn't know because I've been in a hotel conference boardroom with a speaker client doing a 2 Day Turnaround session to clarify her business message and clear her head. We're knee deep in "stuff" and it's a blast getting everything organized into a plan.
Just as I thought we were finished, she looked over at me, her eyes softening and said "Let me ...
Just got off the phone with a consulting client who has restructured the people in her business to be aligned with the appropriate job. (Honestly, if I only did one thing all day, it would be style and values testing because it makes people understand their relationships so well!)
Not only is she happier, but so are the other people on the team. According to Gang & Gang, 55% of peop...
These are very interesting times. The world seems to be polarized - truly feast or famine. Businesses are going under and the cries of "the economic crisis" ripple through the planet like waves ripple out when you drop a rock in the water. Fear, failure and the world's obsession with dramatic events blanket the airwaves. It's almost impossible to ignore.
But there's something else going...
Just finished watching the movie Peaceful Warrior. (If you haven't seen it, go grab a copy at the DVD store. It's one you'll want to see more than once).
In the movie, Dan, the main character, has a very busy life. He's a young college student and athlete, bound for the Olympics, he trains hard, plays hard and gets good grades. A certain feeling of uneasiness comes over him about his life...
Twenty years ago, I was mad. Angry. Trying to get ahead. Pushing it. Using all of my mental powers to build my business, enhance my career and working hard just to get a little bit ahead. I was running a $5 million business at the time, and I didn't have the luxury to stop and ask for help with my emotions. They weren't important...
...or so I thought.
But I had a problem I d...
It's been 4 days since we said goodbye to the King of Pop - or as some would now call him, "The Greatest Artist that Ever Lived." Some were shocked by the news, most saddened and some don't care at all. Whatever your personal opinion of Michael Jackson, there is no denying the massive price this person paid for having so much success in his life. And along with that success came the high p...
While some have said I'm some kind of Twitter expert, let me tell you a little secret: a few months ago I had zero plans (yes ZERO) to use social media. I found it to be confusing, overwhelming and frankly not much fun. While I may have figured a few things out, in no way do I see myself as a guru of any kind. That's why I wanted to share with you today some of the things I learned on the ...
I want to talk with you today about change. It's an inevitable part of life, yet sometimes it seems so hard. Changing relationships, careers, community, environment, health, emotions, mental states can really wreak havoc on the best-laid plans.
Sometimes you just want to quit.
I have something very personal I want to share today.
This past year, has been one of those u...

If you just can't get yourself to do what you must do, if
your willpower and persistence always seems to fizzle out,
then join the
new paradigm in personal growth. Free course.
