The BOLD (Sleepy?) At the end of last week, I realized that I was exhausted. And I noticed that many of my friends, family, and clients were exhausted as well. What, I wondered, was at the root of this exhaustion? We are all having a personal version of a global experience. That means that there are things we […]
The Motto Code: Are You Living YOUR Values?
The BOLD (Deep Courage) Dreams thrive on challenge. If there were no challenge, there would be no reason to be innovative and resourceful and daring. And dreams love it when we are innovative and resourceful and daring. Dreams require courage. I’ve talked a lot about courage, both here and in numerous client sessions, deep conversations with friends and […]
The Transition List: Ready for the New Thing
The BOLD (Take a Moment to Energize a Season) I wish you all the best of this season of deep winter, wooly blankets, blessed stillness, anticipation, gratitude, and warmth. However you choose to celebrate, whatever your observance, I wish you the best of the holidays. Now, on to the celebration of New Year’s Day. It’s time to […]
Retire the Habits That No Longer Serve
The Bold (Any Way You Slice It) How often have you heard that the only way forward is to eliminate limiting beliefs? I heard a speaker recently who said that we have a war on time. The problem with declaring war on our behavior, our attitudes and our resources is that, since those things are ours, […]
Jump the Groove to Provoke Change
The BOLD (Good Habits Gone Bad) We continue our October theme of Pierce the Transparency™. In order to grow, develop and activate transformation, we must prepare to be open, give permission for learning and figure out how to see what we don’t know we don’t know. Habits serve us. They make it possible for us to save […]
What Are You Learning?
The BOLD (Everybody Off the Bus) We’re going to try something a little different this week. It is a week for different things. When you receive this, I will be waking up to the first full day of a retreat that I’m attending. I participate in two retreats–full disconnect events with structure and company or all […]
Provoke Feedback That Really Helps
The BOLD (I Think We Need to Talk) How are you at receiving and implementing feedback? It can be nerve-wracking to move from wondering what others are thinking about your performance to learning it directly. Feedback is a powerful tool for self-development. It is it’s very power that can make it a more potent cure than we […]
Part 3: Shift Your Perspective: Your Most Important Conversation is with You
THE BOLD (The Power of Words) It’s in our stories. Words are powerful. In Judeo-Christian teaching, God speaks the world into being. In 1001 Arabian Nights, Shahrazad uses tales of adventure and wit to save her own life. Often, we forget the power of words to create new realities. We sit, trapped in the words we’ve accepted and loose […]
Part 2: Shift Your Perspective: Emotion, Decisions, and Choices
The BOLD (Bring on All the Feels) How are you feeling? As I sit here typing this I am feeling happy to have the opportunity to share, a little frustrated that I didn’t get this written sooner and a tiny touch of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) about the TV show I can hear my husband […]
