The Elephant in the Room

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to avoid the “elephant in the room” because it can be uncomfortable to talk about? In fact, we often don’t even acknowledge it for a variety of reasons. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated with the things that people don’t say or are afraid […]

Why is This Happening FOR Me?

Do you ever ask yourself the question, “Why is this happening to me?”  Most of us do, especially when things aren’t going the way we want them to or we’re dealing with something that’s difficult or painful. Why is This Happening FOR Me? A number of years ago when I was going through a really […]

Step Out of Your Box

One of our greatest sources of authentic power in life comes from our willingness and ability to act – especially in the face of obstacles and fear.

Be, Do, Have

I learned about the powerful concept of Be, Do, Have several years ago. Most of us think we need to have a certain things (more money, love, time, experience, etc.), so that we can finally do what we truly want to do (go for a promotion, pursue our passion, start a business, go on vacation, […]

I’ve spent much of my life – as a student, an athlete, in business, in relationships, and in general […]

Are You Avoiding a Difficult Conversation?

A number of years ago a mentor of mine said something really important to me.  He told me that there is often one thing that stands between me and the kind of relationships I really want to have. When I asked what that was, he said, “It’s usually a ten-minute, sweaty-palmed conversation that you’re too […]

The Art of Allowing

A few years ago, I got some specific feedback that it would serve me, my work, and my growth to start practicing the art of allowing in a more conscious and deliberate way.  While I was familiar with the concept of allowing, I realized I had little awareness or experience of it in actual practice.

The Importance of Celebrating

Many people underestimate the importance of celebrating. In fact, many of us don’t celebrate enough. How do you feel about celebrating? If you’re anything like me and most of the people I know, you probably enjoy it. As much as I like to celebrate, at times I find it challenging too, especially these days.  Here […]

In today’s busy world with a never-ending “to-do” list of obligations, responsibilities, and commitments, it can be hard for us to take a real break.  But taking breaks in the midst of the daily grind is vital for our mental, physical, and emotional health. Why Taking Breaks is So Important Wherever you are in your […]

The Importance of Letting Go of Control

Do you struggle with control? If you are anything like me and many people I know, letting go of control might be a challenge. I had a simple but profound experience in the swimming pool a while back – learning to float on my back for the first time in my life. I do know […]
