“I Can’t” (The Voice, Part 9)
In spin class yesterday, I heard this: “You can do so much more than you give yourself credit for.” (Or something like that. I mean the music is loud and I am exhausted.) But I got to thinking. (Because it’s easier than focusing on pedaling) and I thought, you know it’s true that we don’t […]
The Voice in Your Head
Here is a topic I talk to my all of my clients about. And yes, this is business coaching. This is a secret known to coaches and others who work with people who want to accomplish something. When we want to accomplish something – in business or elsewhere – we often get stopped or stuck. […]
Mass Exodus – The Downside of Rapport
Have you ever noticed you could be in a large room full of people all participating in the same training, all raising their hands to participate, all laughing at the same time, and then one person gets up to go to the bathroom. And then another person gets up to go to the bathroom. And […]
Acknowledging Your Courage
This is for all my clients, present and past. This is also for my brave friends and family. This is for all the people I know who walk to the edge of their comfort zone and then lean over. Then step out. Then walk all the way out. Then sometimes come running back. Then walk […]

You Want it? You Gotta Reach for it! S-T-R-E-T-C-H
I was reminded by one of my new clients this week that everything you want is outside your comfort zone. How do I know this? Because you would have it if it was comfortable. This is not always easy to hear. Many of us work hard, often unconsciously, to become as comfortable as possible. I […]
Choose! November 8, 2016
We all have choice. This is the premise of coaching. We have choice – always. We do not always SEE that we have choice. Sometimes because we feel powerless, ineffective.
