Getting down to business

My Favorite Personal Growth Books: A Short List

I love to read. I love just about anything having to do with books, and so if you’ve been a client of mind (or, for that matter, anyone who has had a conversation with me) you’ll know that I am always popping off book recommendations. And recently, I was asked to put together a list [...]

Thank you. Yes, YOU.

Thank you. Yes, I’m talking to you. You, my biggest fan, my eternal cheerleader, my sounding board, my shoulder to lean on, my fiercest critic, my loyal reader, my constant support system. My friend, my client, my colleague, my cohort. I am so grateful for you. You are there for me, thick and thin, giving [...]

The Year In Review (and a little something for YOU)

Every year, about this time, I like to reflect back on the year drawing to a close, and do some intention-setting around the year ahead. I’m not exactly a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but that being said, I think there is great value in spending some time consciously envisioning what lies ahead and what [...]

What if you ask better questions?

I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty easy for me to get caught up in the “what if” spiral. What if I make a mistake? What if they don’t like me? What if I end up looking like a total idiot? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don’t have enough [...]

Two magic words to get you unstuck

Lately, I’ve found that there is magic and possibility in two little words. These two words have the power to unstick me like WD-40, to take me from indecision to action, to move me from paralyzed by too many choices to picking one thing and rolling with it. Those two magic words are “for now”. [...]

The Problem is Not the Problem

I often say that underneath every business challenge is a personal growth opportunity in disguise. And in related news: inevitably, the thing you think is the problem? It’s not the problem. It’s typically a symptom of something else, which is the real problem. Case in point: I was consulting with a potential client the other [...]

Clarity versus Certainty

I’ve found myself thinking about clarity a lot over the past week or so as I’ve been working on my upcoming e-course, 28 Days to Gutsy Living. I want clarity on exactly what content to include, clarity about what would be most helpful to the participants, clarity about how to market it, and so on. [...]

The Fine Print in the Law of Attraction

I’m all for manifesting. I believe in the Law of Attraction, and harnessing the power of The Secret. Putting it out there to the universe and knowing that the universe will respond. I even believe in karma, kismet, serendipity, and lucky coincidences. I’m a fan of goal setting, planning, and dreaming big. (Nah, even bigger [...]

Relationships Rule, Even in Social Media. Here’s Why.

Well, my mind is just a-spinning! See, I went last night to a Biznik event to hear Gary Vaynerchuck speak about his new book The Thank You Economy. Without me trying to reinvent the wheel, here’s the review on Amazon.com if you want to read a summary of what the book is about. Gary Vee [...]

Happy Birthday to me! (and why that means good stuff for YOU)

It’s that time of year again, and I’m never sure quite how I feel about it. Meaning: it’s my birthday season (yes, I have an entire SEASON for my birthday). I’m at one of those ages where saying how old I am sounds weird coming out of my mouth, because I don’t think I feel [...]
