Start Where You Are
Endings and Beginnings I woke up on Monday, January 3, ready to go – the beginning of a New Year! We get very excited about the end of one year and the beginning of another; don’t we?!? Even though I personally do not believe this is the only time in our lives we can consciously […]
The Power of Your Beliefs
There is a wonderful book I read by a doctor named Bruce Lipton. We read it in our coach training. It is called The Biology of Belief. On some level, coaching is premised on this idea – that our beliefs are what either propel us forward or hold us back. For some people, the idea […]
