If we really want to get something done…

All we need to do, is focus on it. We’re not just meaning giving it some occasional attention, but to make it part of most every move we make and part of our vocabulary. Just like Bubba, in the movie “Forrest Gump”. Where all he can think about is shrimp. He’s going to open a… Read more »

Mickey Kane…

Made everything look so easy! At work he seemed to flow with the flow and even bring it up a notch, at a whim. His personal life was the same too…everyone liked him and he was quite a leader. When someone finally asked him what his secret was, he revealed it was no secret at… Read more »

“What we want…

When we want it”. Sounds right, on the surface, but what does that kind of thinking bring us? Impatience maybe, or maybe it allows us to go rapidly from one experience to another without really enjoying and being part of the experience in the first place. When we really think about it, “getting what we… Read more »

Don’t really know why…

But there has been several people recently, independent of one another, that have asked me how they can better “like themselves”. Easy question, tough answer. It would seem that “liking oneself” would come easy, but not always…that’s why bringing up self-talk and self esteem are 2 of the 3 things we go over in the… Read more »

Always Positive?

Can’t be. We all have received some pretty hard blows in our lives, and they could of been personal, financial, physical or spiritual…it’s just part of life – things happen, and we occasionally get hurt.

“Those who don’t read history, are condemned to repeat it”. But more precisely, cycles in history, life and nature, are what we need to understand. Most everything is cyclical – if viewed with enough time. The cycle that spans the human life are birth, growth, receding, death, and in ancient history they represent it as… Read more »

The “Next Level”?

No one ever got anywhere without putting themselves out there…at least, just a little bit. Your pride is usually the only thing put at risk. Yours in – taking that risk – Coach

Let’s be Grateful…

For what we have, and for whatever comes our way. There are many who are less fortunate than us, and some work much harder…for much less. We have a place to sleep, food to eat, clothes to wear and our choice to take it from there…and for some, the rest is just a bonus, but… Read more »

The Drama Bomb?

Ah, yes…when things get tough, some of us use the Drama bomb. It’s a real good way to divert attention to what is really going on or what really happened…and the ones that are really good at it, even leave people scratching their heads, trying to think back to what the real issue was. It’s… Read more »

The “Next Level”

Recently, people have been coming to me and have displayed reservations on taking their lives to the “Next Level” with respect to their employment. Maybe it’s the year end reflection, or maybe it’s knowing that the new year is coming up. I haven’t quite figured it out, but it’s definitely a surge in my coaching… Read more »
