How a Doberman Developed My Self-Confidence

When I was growing up, I was a latchkey kid, which meant that when I left elementary school each day, my house was empty and I had a key to let myself in.  Both my parents worked and my sisters were older than I was and their school didn’t get out until after mine. Fortunately …

3 Mistakes that Give You Bad Habits

If you’d rather read than watch, just scroll past the video     Mistake #1 – Allowing Boredom to Set In Boredom is the inability to take responsibility for our own entertainment.  For me, it’s about state change.  You body and your mind don’t want to feel whatever it is that you’re feeling so our …

Can a Song Trigger Your Confidence?

Do you have a song that you listen to that brings you back to a particular place and time?  For me, that song is Boys of Summer.  When I hear that song, I’m transported back to a certain day, lying at the beach when I was 16 years old, surrounded by good looking guys and …

Where’s the Evidence?

On my contract with my 1-on-1 coaching clients, I explain my coaching process and my strict cancellation policy.  The reason for this is that the mind loves to play games with us.  You never know when your mind is “making you busy”, busy enough to have to cancel your coaching appointment, when what really is …

Dysfunctional Motivation Works

For some of us, we are highly motivated by stupid stuff. Some of us are motivated because we want to prove ourselves to others. I remember one of my managers early in my career in the hospitality industry saying I would never be an entrepreneur. There’s nothing more I love than someone telling me I …

Are You Flexibly Capable?

We all have resources in our lives to help us achieve our goals.  We have our strengths like leadership skills, the ability to negotiate or to resolve conflict, our capacity to work in teams or independently, our intelligence, our confidence, etc.  We also have outside resources such as people we model, mentors, bosses, support staff, …

Sick of Solving Other Company’s Problems

This is an age of technology that I’m not in love with.  I don’t ever remember being asked by the companies I normally do business with if I could give up my time to solve their problems.  I don’t remember being asked to be the “glitch finder” and I certainly don’t remember ever getting a …

Are You Listening Too Much?

I’ve read a lot of stuff in social media about the importance of listening to our bodies and how important it is to tune in.  As usual, I’d like to chime in with my own beliefs on listening to what are bodies are trying to say to us.  I believe that there are 3 BIG …

Do you Have Disciplined Optimism?

I was listening to a podcast the other day and learned a new concept that I needed to share.  It’s called disciplined optimism.  What it means is that you are focused on your outcomes while having a clear understanding of the facts of your current reality.  It’s the discipline of taking stock of the challenges …

Stop Thinking Life is Easy

I was having lunch with my friend Cindy today. She’s a world of inspiration for me. Today our conversation centered around her children and the trials of parenthood. We both have a similar idea of what it takes to be a parent. It takes a lot of hard work! It’s no walk in the park …

Who Owns the Problem?

Many of us struggle with arguments and miscommunication because we don’t understand this concept called problem ownership.  And the reason we don’t understand it is because “problem ownership” isn’t a great way of describing what is actually going on.  If you think about the name, it sounds like you own a problem.  And for most …

There’s no T in SMART

If you are a self-development kind of person, like I am, you know about S.M.A.R.T goals.  Some of my fans already know how I feel about “SMART” goals.  But I had a phone call the other day that prompted me to clarify something. There’s no T in “SMART” goals. The phone call was from another …

Do The Things You Don’t Want to Do

I got up this morning and I didn’t feel well.  I wasn’t really sick, I just felt like something wasn’t right.  And then I went to the gym.  I didn’t want to go to the gym because I still didn’t feel well.  But I went and did my 90-minute workout anyway.  When I returned to …

A Knockout Strategy for Your Mind

I was chatting with one of my former coaching clients the other day and he told me a story I need to share. This particular gentleman is a “former” coaching client because he is one of those types of people that like surpassing his teachers. And that makes me one proud coach. This guy took it upon …

What Have You Chosen for Yourself?

There’s a pattern emerging in my life that I’m trying to stop.  It’s a series of questions my husband asks me when he gets home from work. Do you want wine? Red or White? Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc? It drives me nuts.  I know it sounds silly but here’s the back story.  Every day …

Looking for Problems in All the Wrong Places

I’ve had several coaching clients with the same problem – they were looking for problems in all the wrong places.  And by “all the wrong places” I mean EVERYWHERE.  These clients had become experts at finding problems in every area of their lives. For one client it was most predominant in “her industry.”  She wasn’t …

What comes before EQ?

There’s a lot of talk in the corporate world about EQ or Emotional Intelligence.  It works itself into discussions on leadership, management, communications and culture diversity.  But there’s something that proceeds EQ that is currently being ignored and that’s PQ. What’s PQ? Physical intelligence.  Why do I say that Physical Intelligence is being ignored?  Have …

Try Isn’t a Bad Word

If I said to you, “try this” and handed you a piece of gooey pizza, would you lean forward as if to eat it and then not really do it?  I don’t think so.  You’d probably take a bite and tell me whether or not you liked it.  That’s what trying is all about. According …

“And” Your Way to Success

Recently I worked with a coaching client who had a big problem.  She had a prospect who was trying to minimize her proposal and remove necessary elements for the service to be performed.  My client was pulling her hair out because she just couldn’t see how she was going to get the client to agree …

Preventing Overwhelm

My client sat before me an absolute wreck. She had been beaten down. By what, I had not yet heard. Her face was ashen and her eyes red and puffy.   I could tell from these signs and her slumped posture that things weren’t going well. “What’s happening?” I asked. The menacing list of all of …
