As noted thinker Simon Sinek teaches, the “why” is everything. Humans are undeniably moved by certain things – and it’s a unique phenomena for each of us. When I ask myself why I design family time, the answer is easy. I love the experience of togetherness. I love deeply knowing my husband and my kids […]
I teach all my clients to dream—to be bold and go after what they really want in their lives. I’m not talking about having one or two dreams. I ask people to create dreams in all areas of their lives. Inevitably, there is one issue that arises when going after a dream: failure. To quote […]
I believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. And, I mean ALL. From health to love, to money to community, to fun and adventure to spirituality, etc. But, obviously, some areas get a little more attention than others: like love, career and money. While others, like FUN AND ADVENTURE (which includes LEARNING, […]
Stop me if you heard this story before (or read it in Discover Magazine!): “Darwin and Freud walk into a bar. Meanwhile, two alcoholic mice — a mother and her son — are sitting across from them on two bar stools, lapping gin from two thimbles. The mother mouse looks up and says, “Hey, geniuses, […]
I write about all sorts of things that come up in my coaching – love, relationships, time management, character traits… but today I want to address a subject that is possibly THE most important concern (or should be) for me, my family, and my community: The state of your body during your time on the […]
Press pause for a moment … on your work deadlines, on your kid’s school or summer schedules, on your holiday plans, on whatever device is ringing and buzzing. I have an important question for you. How is your love life going lately? How’s your heart? If you’re single, do you find that you’re not happy […]
Secrets kill relationships. I’m not just talking about intimate relationships between married couples and partners; I’m talking about all relationships. The hyperconnectivity and mass exposure of our current world has ironically left us isolated from each other and often unable to maintain real, authentic connections. And the secrets we carry about who we are and […]
Did you ever notice that who you are often changes depending on who you’re with? Whether it’s with your CEO, your direct reports, your partner, your kids, your subordinates, the opposite sex, or a waiter?
“Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don’t be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked.” Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume Maybe it’s just me. (You tell me!) But, to this day, I still find it pretty darn amusing (in a scrappy, snickering way — and really, is there any other way?) that […]
Everyone has times in their life when they ought to admit defeat. Whether it’s in your love life, how you handle your money, how you handle friendships, or something else, there really is a point at which you should do yourself a favor and admit you’ve hit a wall. I’ve seen this in everyone I’ve […]
Come on. Pun intended. Who doesn’t want the secret to romance, sex, and orgasms? Truth be told, the reason I (an expert coach, workshop leader, and coach of coaches) still have a coach of my own at Handel Group is pretty simple. And, no, it’s not simply because I’m human and therefore come with many […]
We’ve all felt that ol’ UGH feeling once in a while. Maybe you even have it right now. You know the UGHs, right? It’s when a voice in your head nitpicks (or let’s be honest, screams bloody murder) at your boss while you smile and nod. Or when you turn down the radio in the […]
