Clean Out Your Money Muck

Very few of us are fortunate enough to have a  great relationship to money. Personally, I wasn’t taught a ton in that regard when I was a kid. Sure, I learned to save, earn and be responsible with money. But I also observed my folks and decided that money was hard to come by, came […]

Scheduling Sex: The Secret to a Passionate Marriage?

(Click here to read an original op-ed from the TED speaker who inspired this post.) For most of us, keeping passionate love and hot sex alive in a long-term committed relationship is one of our deepest longings. We all want it, and yet most of us have a hard time believing it’s possible or figuring […]

Have More Peak Moments

When you think about your “peak” moments, you will find that they probably happened when you didn’t expect them or plan them. They happened when you were fully present and something unexpectedly wonderful unfolded. Patricia Moreno recounted such an experience at the beginning of Intensati class today (it’s an awesome spiritual fitness class she teaches […]

My Dream Is Coming True, Finally!

I have news. Very good news. A big dream of mine is coming true. I want to teach as many people as possible how to fight for their dreams and tell the whole truth about themselves: what they dream of, how they feel, who they are. About four years ago, I decided (with a big […]

How to Win at Failing

There are lots of things in my life at which I am winning. But lately I’ve been re-assessing a bunch of business practices that haven’t been working. I’ve had to face failure in a way I never have before. In the past, I’ve been really good at avoiding situations where I might fail by bailing […]

Do You Blame Your Farts on Your Kids?

I seriously just caught myself leaving potato chip crumbs in my friend’s bedroom knowing that the kids would be blamed once they were discovered. This is how I know that the “brat” is so alive and well in adults. Unless it’s just me. Is it you too? Have you ever blamed your farts on someone […]

Thou Shalt Not Covet

I think of myself as a person with good morals. I’ve dedicated my life to helping people figure out how to dream bigger dreams and chase them. This makes me feel like a “good person,” but while riding through the middle of Ohio today, I saw something that gave me pause. It was a billboard […]

We learn so much from the courage and vision of our clients, and I know you will too. Here’s a story that might inspire you to dig a little deeper to understand a pattern you find difficult to break.

Change Is Afoot

Change is afoot in my life and the life of Handel Group Life Coaching. There is something I haven’t been telling the truth about for a while now and it’s time for me to share it straight up. I’ve been struggling in my role as President. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Handel Method®. […]

I Have A Dream

One of my greatest heroes is Martin Luther King, Jr. His “I Have a Dream” speech is one of the most well-known in the world. I often think about his speech and what he stood for when I feel disconnected to my own dreams. It is my belief that the world is enriched by dreamers, […]
