Guest Blogger – Lessons from Dogs

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 […]

Q: How do you get what you want? A: You ask! ____ Does this seem simple? Maybe I have oversimplified? It is true though that our comfort zones keep us from asking, often, when to ask would have been the thing that worked. Why don’t we ask? Often we are embarrassed or we make up […]

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 […]
