Setting The Stage
January 2015 Insights
Happy New Year everyone! As I’ve shared with you in past newsletters I’m not big into new year resolutions. As a life coach I hate limiting myself and my clients to resolve “getting going” on our life ambitions based on what the calendar says. However, I am a big proponent of setting the stage for greater success all through the new coming year. So I thought I would take the first newsletter of 2015 and share with you a valued exercise I personally use in the beginning of every new year. (more…)

Reflecting On The Year Passed
December 2013 Insights
It may be surprising for some to hear but I’m not big into new year resolutions. You see as a life coach I hate to limit myself and my clients to resolving to “get going” on our life ambitions based on what the calendar says. I’d like to think regardless (winter, spring, summer or fall) that there’s no better time than the present to create positive change in our lives. I am, however, a big proponent of taking the last few days on the calendar to reflect upon the year passed as I believe it will help set the stage for greater success all through the new coming year.

The Power Of Gratitude
November 2013 Insights
What better month to write about the virtues of gratitude then in November when we celebrate Thanksgiving, the holiday particularly known for acknowledging our blessings and taking stock in all that is good in our lives. I’ve actually been wanting to write about the concept of gratitude for awhile now because it too is just as instrumental in enhancing our lives as are any of the strategies, tools and insights I share with my clients. Since many people seem to think that the primary focus of my work with clients is mostly about what’s not working in their lives, I really wanted to take this newsletter to share how creating positive change in one’s life is actually more about looking for what is working in your life and not obsessing about what is not. Building upon our strengths and examining the positive aspects of our lives is just as integral to creating greater success and fulfillment as is eliminating anything that is counterproductive to our ambitions.

Assessing How You Spend Time And Your Skills To Manage It
January 2013 Insights
Happy New Year everyone! Based on the feedback I received from last months Keys to Success insights, many of you took advantage of the Values Clarification exercise I made available to you on my website. It seems a lot of you made the connection to managing your time more effectively by considering what is truly important to you. I personally have my top 5 core values written on a sticky note I keep attached to my computer. I refer to it often to help make both big and small decisions in my life. But more importantly I check in with it weekly, to make sure my values are in alignment with how I allocate my time daily. This helps to provide me with the emotional buy-in I sometimes need to motivate me to stay on task. Introspectively this makes sense but we can’t dismiss the other essential ingredients also important to successful time management. (more…)
