Do you lack a crystal clear vision for your work and life that excites you?
Does success feel elusive no matter how hard you work?
Are your circumstances overwhelming - too much on your plate?
Are you pulled in too many different directions - lack focus?
Is the thrill gone, and you don't know where to find it?

If you answered YES to one or more of these questions, it is time to work for you to work with a personal coach.
Developing your personal Blueprint for Success will help you or your business:

Create a crystal clear vision that inspires action
Design and implement effective strategies that align with your vision and values
Maintain focus on achieving your goals and dreams
Identify and align with natural, instinctive strengths
Develop support structures that maximize your efforts and reduce stress

Life comes at you, doesnt it? One circumstance after another is put in your path and you handle each one with grace and ease. But sometimes those circumstances can feel overwhelming, like they are coming at you too fast and too furious, like a pitching machine gone wild. In those times, its easy to lose your enthusiasm and zest for life. Read on to discover how a frog reminded me how you can get it back!

Communication is one of the primary areas my clients want to focus on, and my #10 Key to Successful Relationships is: Say it...so they can hear it.

Did you know that the results you produce are dependent upon where you begin? You hear that you need to start where you are in order to move forward in life and business because self-judgment will stilt your growth, and that is true. And at the same time...maybe it's not the whole truth. Read on to learn why where you are coming from holds the key to true, sustainable success.

Contrary to popular belief, moving faster is not necessarily the best way to get where you want to go in life or in business. What if the key was to slow down just a little? Outrageous, you say? No time for that, you say? Read on if you want to gain power and velocity in your life.

Do you want more velocity in reaching your goals? Exponential success? This one simple practice can be your springboard to success!

My Mom was in labor for a long time with each of her five children, and it was a family joke that her labor time got longer every time she told the story! The memory still makes me smile. Maybe I wasn't quite ready to be born, who knows? I do know that I often felt "not ready" to take on life and business, like I always had my foot on the brake. It held me back for many years, until I asked myself: What are you waiting for?

Do you want more serenity AND power in your life? Then pay attention to how much time you spend complaining about life and what happens to you in the course of a day. Complaining is a huge energy drain, yet accomplishes absolutely nothing. It doesn't move you closer to your goals, it doesn't put you in a position of power over your own life, it doesn't even make you feel good! Read on to explore how acceptance can give you more of what you want in life, and less of what you don't.

We all disagree with others at times. Many of us disagree with others a lot! So how can you get your point across without alienating the person you disagree with? Read on to discover a powerful tool for staying connected while getting to the heart of the matter.
