Well, the New Year is here and most people get excited about a new start, a new beginning. I love the word new and all that it means. So, let me encourage you to consider several things to get January off to a new start. Notice that I said January. It is much easier to [...]

Step 1: Find your Lane Have you ever noticed that successful people seem to exude confidence? A lot of that confidence comes from knowing the correct “lane” for your life. Successful people understand who they are and who they are not. They know their strengths, gifts and passions and have decided to invest and build [...]

One important coaching principle that I talk with my clients and students is the idea of de-cluttering your life. De-cluttering can come in many forms. We can de-clutter our physical space. We can de-clutter our emotional space and mental space. We can de-clutter our relationships. We can even de-clutter our calendars. Many times we have [...]
