I’ve been thinking a lot lately about that voice in my head that says, “I should go to that event” or “I should go to this meeting.” I’ve been noticing that my clients also hear their own *should* voice. But what if we stopped and asked that voice, “Why should I?” Would it be possible to find [...]

Do you ever have those days where being the best you can be is just a little too much? It seemed like a good resolution or intention at the time, but now you’ve got too much shit to do to be your best. How about better? Could you just be better than the status quo, [...]

I hadn’t planned to write about the New Year since there’s a cacophony of yearly reviews, best of/worst of 2011 lists, and predictions and resolutions for 2012. What could I possibly add? But, this morning I talked to Delphina, an intuitive consultant, who gave me the inspiration to share what I learned. She said some [...]

Recently I started doing Bikram yoga here and it has me thinking a lot about structure and how nurturing it can be. Since I work with creative people I feel sort of sheepish about the part of me that likes to follow rules. I greatly admire the way some creative people don’t let rules hem [...]

I’ve just returned from a week in Cape Cod with my sister, niece and nephew and our two dogs. We kayaked, sailed, swam, ate lobster, slurped clam chowder, laughed a lot and I read four fiction books that had nothing to do with self improvement or careers. I stayed away from Twitter, Facebook, emails + [...]
I work with people who are trying to figure out what they want to do next, either in their lives, careers or both. But, with the fast pace of technology, it can all get a bit overwhelming. But, on the plus side these are perfect conditions to bring out the explorer inside of you. Think [...]
Something Thekla Richter said in our Friday interview really resonated for me and that was, “Perfect doesn’t exist in the real world and balance is dynamic, not static. So life balance is a process, not a state you achieve.” “Balance is dynamic.” In fact, so are our moods, our energy level, our appetite, even our [...]
Thekla Richter is my very first guest for my series called “Expert Tips & Tools.” She is a coach that specializes in time management and the byline on her site is: “Tame your time, claim your life.” Sounds good to me and I know it probably resonates for many people. I’m happy to have her [...]
Feelings are not facts. We don’t arrive at one and stay there permanently. (That’s good news when the feeling sucks, but kind of a bummer when it’s joy or happiness). I’ve been feeling uncomfortable lately. I have a birthday coming soon (in July) and have some anxiety around getting to the higher end of my [...]
