I am driving along and I come to the end of the road. I have to either turn right, or turn left, or turn around. No matter what I do, a decision needs to be made. A choice needs to create an action because staying still in the middle of the road is not an option. The GPS is not working, I have no cell service, and I need to make an educated decision. Wait, how do I do that? Like everyone, I am so accustomed to having quick and easy decisions made for me by technology or even

Recently, I had a client who was interested in doing some long term goal planning. In coaching, we try to emphasize the shorter, more actionable goals. Goals that can be reached in 3-months, or 6-months, or a year are tangible and achievable. There are logical steps that can be taken to move toward these goals and measurements of success that can be addressed and refined as needed. With longer range goal planning the ability to take adequate action is questionable because lif

It’s time to play. Your job is creative, analytical and thought provoking. All you have to do is fit 1000 puzzle pieces together! Jigsaw puzzles provide a quick and easy escape. They take us back to our childhood, ignite our imaginations and spark our curiosity. Like in life, we just want to find the solutions, make all the pieces fit, and connect and balance our lives and our goals. So what is it about all of those unconnected pieces that draws us in and makes us want to con

Happy Half 2015! June marks the midway point for the year and it is an ideal time to access our commitments to ourselves. What did you vow to take care of that you have not begun, and what major plans for 2015 have been altered or changed to reflect your goals? Back in January, you many have made resolutions to yourself or to others that you have surpassed or never kept. What better time then the beginning of summer to kick back and dive into mastering the life you want RIGHT

We are all guilty. We mean to care, to make a difference, to interact. We mean to connect. Maybe it is our overuse of technology, our lack of time, or our over stimulated brains that are causing us to have selective hearing. We are all so “busy” in the whirlwind of our own lives that we seldom stop long enough to actually wait for, or care about the responses of those around us. How many people each day do we come in contact with? How many times do we ask, “How are you?” More

As adults, we spend decades perfecting the fine art form of being a grown-up. It is a role we slowly embrace, into and out of our college years, and then build toward for the remainder of our lives. It could be argued that certain people we know never really grew up or still need to, but for the most part, by the time we are parents ourselves, we’ve got that grown-up thing down to a science. Is playing by the adult rules really working? Playing by the grown-up rules strips us

What is your position? Are you choosing to live your life over, under or on the rainbow? Recently, a good friend of mine was reflecting on his week and how it had gone. To paint a vivid visual, he told me that he felt like he was living his life on the rainbow. I was intrigued. It was not until I gave this concept some considerable thought that I really understood what he was saying. Being on the rainbow is the sweet spot. This means being in alignment with our thoughts and v
