Realize that your “social planner” is the very same advisor that tells you to push “snooze” in the morning, and tries to sell you (and me) that […]
(Not a Fish, Silly, My Partner) I remember the chilling moment that my coach said this simple sentence to me that changed my relationship with my husband forever: “You know, Laurie, sex is the only thing that really distinguishes a marriage from a friendship.” In other words: you and your husband are friends who co-parent. […]
What do you do when someone on your team is failing and not producing the results needed to do the job? I certainly have some thoughts…and it’s not what you may think. When someone is failing on your team, the first place I tell my clients to look is at themselves. To all you managers […]
I love love. I love the idea of love. I love being around friends who are in love, and I have always been fascinated with friends who are in long-term, happy relationships.

“Ummm, I came to work on my career!” I said emphatically-ish to my new life coach, shocked that all of a sudden I was staring at the 12 Areas of Life Handel Group assignment and being asked to write a dream for ALL 12 of them! Sure, I could get why write a dream for […]
Of the many hats I don at Handel Group, from CFO to President of HG University to husband of Head Life Coach Laurie Gerber, helming HG’s Sports Division isn’t one of them. I played two sports in college, so juggling several sports isn’t all that new to me. No matter what, it seems I always […]

First assignment we give everyone, no matter who, how big, how old, how young, or how many years you’ve been in school, is to write your dreams. In not one, not two, but twelve areas of your life.
