I've always been a positive, upbeat kinda Gal, but I can assure you- I have my moments (just not and many as I used to, thanks to coaching).

Back in my less stable, up & down days, my creative mind worked overtime- concocting wild stories about who I was, who everyone else was and how other people saw me (and what they thought about me, and what they said about me, because of course, I was the focus of every conversation, right?).

I c...

Good Morning, I Love You by Dr. Shauna Shapiro

The most impactful self-care a woman can gift herself isn’t tangible or edible, it’s emotionally-based: the simple practice of mindfulness.

Dr. Shauna Shapiro wrote a beautiful book on the subject titled, Good Morning, I Love You. She talks about mindfulness as the practice of:
-setting an intention (what matters most)
-paying attention (to train and stabilize our focus in the present momen...

In any business, issues are going to arise- obstacles, problems, challenges, kerfluffles. Your ability to succeed is directly proportional to your ability to solve those issues.

Most leaders/teams do more discussing than they do solving. This can be frustrating and exhausting for everyone involved, especially when the work load is heavy, time is limited and efficiency is crucial.

What's draining your energy isn’t the work, it’s your...

The most powerful coaching conversations begin with a clearly defined topic. Even when a Client comes to the call with a broad subject, my job is to help them narrow the focus into a topic that can be discussed 1.) within a 60min time frame and 2.) with the intention of creating some kind of forward movement as a result of the conversation.

Wondering what those topics are? Here’s a list of the Top 4 Topics I Discuss in Coaching Convers...

Assessments have become quite popular. Most of us have engaged in some kind of an assessment, whether it's a requirement for work or because it's a popular craze that everyone's doing. From Enneagram and Myers Briggs to DISC and 16 Personalities, people love to share and compare their results.

Results can be fascinating and fun, inspiring people to walk away from analyzing assessment results with the best of intentions: I'm going to do...

Does it ever seem like there's one tragedy after another on the news?

War. Fire. Flood. Mass Murder.

I'm not one to watch the news. I find it to be full of doom and gloom and try to avoid it most days (except for the weather, I do love watching DFW Channel 8's Pete Delkus- such a passionate guy).
