A Ship in a Harbor is Safe…

But that’s not what ships are built for. Is there anything in your life that is staying in the harbor that you are not taking out to sea?? In coaching, I have found that people do not have a fear of failure, they have a fear of success…. They stay within their comfort zone or… Read more »

Best Days of Your Life…?

I did a survey and asked the question, “What was the best day of your life”? Not surprisingly, people responded to memories of events with other people. “When my child was born”….”At Disneyland with my family and relatives”….”Catching that big fish with my grandpa”…”When our team won the championship”. All of “The best Days of… Read more »

You can do it all…

Just not all at once. That was the Brilliant phrase our own Esteemed Amara brought back from the Leadership Workshop – to keep the vocabulary of her team “Top Notch”. And the phrase really is empowering, when you stop to think a bit. Because we Can do it all, it’s just that many times we… Read more »

You are what you eat??

Not really, more precisely, you are what you digest and absorb. Through evolution, we people had a diet consisting of a very low variety of foods per meal. For instance, if we grew corn, that’s what we ate. If we foraged and found a patch of ripe berries, that’s what we had. If we were… Read more »

Surprise..?

My 15 year old daughter is a super bright individual, who gets great grades, plays sports and does cheer, but has a pretty good dose of “being 15 syndrome” – that being… the parents, and most others, have no idea about things and sporting a bad attitude is part of the deal. But last Thursday… Read more »

And that is a very important fact that we must always remember. We may have grown up in a negative household or have been party to some bad circumstances or situations, but that doesn’t need to take over our attitude. That is because our attitude is made up of how we think and needn’t be… Read more »

Remember the good old days where…

All that mattered was Where and When? It’s a pretty good plan…getting back to simplicity. But with work, friends, family and commitments as we grow older, the Where and When, seems to be replaced by  How and Why. Maybe we should loosen up a bit and be ready and excited for everything and anything that… Read more »

Many times…

We tend to get only focused on issues, which results in a Myopic view of our lives. This nearsighted and narrow minded view, often distorts the whole picture. When this happens, we need to take a step back and take a good look at the whole picture to realize just how great life really is…. Read more »
