I can’t tell you how many brilliant humans I coach who, as smart as they are, often play a little duhᐧmbfounded when it comes to having deep and connected conversations — whether it’s with their co-workers, employees, bosses, partners, teens, etc. Let alone with someone they’ve just met and want to get to know!  In […]

Sure, Handel Group teaches clients to human better, to get conscious of what we’re currently unconscious of and upgrade our operating systems (yes, we have a few!), BUT you know what we also teach humans? How to fold, fix, or fly their freak flag. Even at the office! Your huh, what, where?! I know. Hang […]

When I first came to Handel Group as a client, many years back, my chief complaint was that my business had plateaued. Coming off of great success the prior year, my business partner (and twin brother!) and I had decided that we could take on a new hire. Previously, I had been doing all the […]

Have you always wanted to be a parent but the right partner never showed up on time?  Me too.  I always pictured what my baby would look like. I saw myself holding him or running around the backyard and laughing. I knew I would be an awesome mother. I have so much love to give. […]

Oh, NOW I got your attention?  So, are you actually curious or are you simply wondering the extent to which I’d go to up my blog’s open rates, or both? Lord knows, as both a hero for humanity’s cause and a believer in 100% transparency, I wouldn’t put it past me, either!  Except, this is […]

What if TIME really is just a jump to the left…and then a step to the right?  Huh?   For those of you who are neither in your 50s, nor have ever seen the 70’s cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and don’t know the Time Warp dance I’m referring to, buckle up. I’m […]

Learn to huh?   Close…hu-man. Perhaps by now you’ve gotten fairly used to my modern unorthodox ways – whether it’s mixing metaphors, slinging one-liners, or in this case, inventing new words. In case you still have no idea what I’m talking about, here are a few sample words I’ve added to the Handel English – Human […]

I love teaching and I always have. I played “school” as a kid, I taught Sunday school as a teen and in college, my first job out of college was as a Kindergarten teacher, and at Handel Group I continue to find teaching the most fun part of my job. There are a lot of […]

Have you ever lied about money? I sure have. Now, I’m a funny little liar. I never had a secret credit card. I never hid a bag of new clothes under the bed. Instead, my special brand of subterfuge went something like this… It was August. As in, the end-of-summer sales were on. One day, […]

I first came to Handel Group as a client. I needed some work. But, mind you, not for me…for my spouse. Hard as I tried, after ten years of marriage, my husband still sucked at communication and intimacy. And if I didn’t do something about it, I don’t think the marriage would have lasted. I […]

I wish I could tell you that the soul (purposeful typo) reason my three children (ages 10, 15, and 16) are environmentally conscious is because of me.   But, that would be a lie.   Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m being modest. Far from it. If you knew me, you’d know that […]

For such a dark and moody lot, we’re sure not wise to how often we go dark, not to mention how little a clue we have as to where our (inner) light switch is. What’s up with that? You might have heard the stats: According to science, the average human has about 12,000 to 60,000 […]
