  • The Power of Your Words
    Most of us underestimate the power of our words. We sometimes miss how our words set a tone. A few words can make someone’s day, or shatter it. Words can inspire someone to buy, or to go away without buying. Our words can move someone to do their best work, or to work against us. Your spoken words serve either to build up or to tear down.
  • Healing Your Workplace
    You can heal your workplace. Symptoms of workplaces needing healing include poor service, unresolved conflict, complaining, blaming , confusion, defensiveness, excessive stress, hurtful behaviors, inability to communicate openly and honestly, lack of trust, and apathy. If your workplace exhibits any of these symptoms you can help to heal it.
  • A Lighter Way of Life
    Give yourself the gift today of a lighter way of life. All stress and pain are created in the mind. Whatever kind of day you have, it will be one of your own making. You are the producer, director, writer and star of your own day.
  • Living Your Purpose
    You have a purpose. You have specific gifts, talents, and abilities that are uniquely yours. At the intersection of “what you love to do” and “what you are good at” you will find your purpose. Do you know your purpose?
  • Moving Beyond Normal
    Normal is the usual condition. It is the set of conditions to which we have become accustomed. What is normal in your life? For many people, pain is normal. They have a collection of aches and pains they deal with each day, both physical and emotional, and they have become used to them. Is this you?
  • From Blaming to Blessings
    It can be wonderful to be a victim. First of all, I get to be right. I am misunderstood, mistreated, and miserable, but at least I know I’m right. But being right doesn't make you happy or effective. It is not until we move from blaming people and situations to blessing them that we experience greater well-being and success.
  • Who Am I Being ?
    Who am I being right now? Who was I being in that situation? These are questions I ask myself every day? I want to know. If I am interacting and the interaction feels uncomfortable--who am I being that this feels so bad? It's not about people skills or about being nice. Success in our relationships is about who we are being.
  • Reinventing You
    One of the most beautiful aspects of life on this planet is that we always have the option to reinvent ourselves. If you don’t like what you are experiencing, you can change it. If you want to play at a higher level, you can choose to grow. We have the ability to dream and to make our dreams come true. One thing that stops us is our own fear.
  • Beyond Blaming
    Effectiveness is found beyond blaming. Whenever we blame we make ourselves ineffective and we are of no help to others. Once we are willing to give up the payoffs blaming seems to offer, we become more powerful leaders. Moving beyond blaming is not about being nice or overlooking poor behavior. It is an effective way to lead others through directness, compassion, and clarity.
  • Raising Your Expectations
    We receive in life according to our expectations. If I expect to be rejected, inevitably I will be. We can raise our expectations. Raising our expectations changes our experience. If I accept myself, I find others accepting me, too.
  • Kick Your But's
    "But" is the great negator. We express our good intention and then qualify it with "but". “I want to help these people, but they are unreasonable.” As leaders we need to kick our but's and take complete responsibilty.
  • Power
    Power comes from within. Seeking external sources of power frustrates us and leaves us powerless. We are powerful beings when we derive our well-being from our Source within. Power is also increased when we live in this moment and in intergrity with who we are.
  • Finding The Greatness Within
    Greatness is found within, but we don't always find greatness when we look there. Often an inner sense of lack, conditioned by years of negative messages convinces us we aren't great. The problem is that we attach our sense of worth and our well-being to the opinions of others and to "failures" we have experienced. We can face our thoughts and feelings and move through them. There we will find our greatness.
  • The Power of Decision
    The Power of Decision is always ours. We can decide what we want and move in that direction, or not. Joy, peace, and success are not the results of good things happening to us. They are decisions we make that create joyous, peaceful, and successful results.
