“Worry is a waste of energy”
The year was 1984 and Iwas a year out of high school.  Having decided that I was grown up enough to live in my own apartment, (even though I couldn’t really afford it), with a rusty old ugly green sedan for transportation, I muddled through.  Working a part time job and [...]

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 [...]

Stuck is not a fun place to be.
Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many.
You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect before you [...]

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 [...]

It was a room filled with about 300 networking engineers.  True geeks, that’s for sure.  I was there in the room to deliver a training to these high-level engineers about a subject they all loved – TCP/IP.
As the training went on, I discussed protocol, troubleshooting, hacking (oh excuse me, I meant to say “breaking down [...]

It was 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, and I was walking out of the movie theater with a giant knot in the pit of my stomach.  I had just seen the movie “2012″.
After going in with much anticipation and knowing that I would need to keep a strong mind to be able to stay positive [...]

Over the years, I’ve been doing a lot more life coaching (which I absolutely LOVE) helping people over panic, anxiety, worry, fear and self-confidence challenges, along with a host of other emotional and mental challenges that keep you stuck and feeling alone.     
I used to think that getting things done was all “mind over matter”, but not now.  [...]

Every year about this time, I start thinking about what my theme word will be for next year.  Then, in December, I will take the last 2 weeks and reflect, review and clean up whatever I need to in order to keep thing rolling.
This year has definately been a year of high-impact change.  (Funny, when [...]

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 [...]

I have a heartfelt request of you today that I hope you’ll help me with.
As you may already know, my personal mission is “Happy People Everywhere.”
It’s also the vision of my company.  We have this vision because we know that when you have emotional intelligence, when you have the life skills that you need, life’s [...]
