Shifting The Pressure Of Time
November 2017
If I were to ask any woman to identify the most prevalent roadblock preventing them from obtaining what it is they want in and for their lives they likely would say time, that is that they don’t have enough time. To a certain extent this is true, as we can’t change the fact that we each only have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 365 days in a year to utilize to our best of our abilities. Learning how to manage our time most effectively clearly rates high as a skill most successful women would agree is a necessity worthy of acquiring. However, in this month’s post, I’d like to look beyond just the skills required in organizing our time and consider the perceptions through which we view the use of our time so that we can actually shift the pressure of time to work for us rather than against.

Making Conscious Choices
November 2016 Insights
How many times can you recall being torn making a decision? Whether it be as big of a decision regarding concerns over our health or close love one or maybe as small as what birthday gift I should get my best friend? Making “good” decisions is so often confused for making the “right” decision. When we look for the “one” right decision, we can be looking forever! Knowing that there are multiple decisions that can be made within any given situation, each having advantages and disadvantages, can allow us to make the “best” decision for ourselves based on what we know and value within that moment in time. And even more importantly recognizing that the “best” decision we can make, can change, modify, or be learned from if need be moving forward. (more…)

Resist The Urge To Hibernate
February 2016 Insights
With dead of the winter upon us and the holiday season no longer luring us out of our homes to keep us busy, the temptation to hibernate heightens for many of us. Like bears we humans experience a state of “winter lethargy”. But unlike bears we humans do not need to preserve our energy stores nor lock ourselves in our caves to beat the elements. In fact, contrary to how hibernation works for a bear’s survival it can be rather counterproductive for us human beings. (more…)

Core Values…gotta get some today!
November 2015 Insights
Hard to believe the end of the year is near and the advent of the holiday season is upon us. Perfect time to return back to the practice of aligning with our core values and revisit the Values Clarification exercise, an instrumental and worthy coaching tool that further expands on last month’s Keys To Success Insights; the importance of knowing what in life really matters the most to us. Whether it be due to your busy and hectic lifestyles or falling prey to living by other peoples priorities, it is not uncommon to lose sight of how to put your best effort into those areas that will have the greatest impact in YOUR life.

Spinning Your Wheels
October 2015 Insights
Ever wonder why despite all the effort you put into improving your life, you still feel a lack of fulfillment? As a women’s empowerment life coach it is my “job” to assist women to greater self-fulfillment. Over the years I have collected and crafted tons of strategies, tools, and insights to deliver what I believe to be a comprehensive coaching program that is applicable, tangible and best suited for each woman I work with. However, all of it is of little worth to anyone without first an awareness of what matters the most to them. We can fine tune life skills to death, check everything off our to do list, and reach all the goals we set forth for ourselves but if in the end our daily actions don’t align with those aspects of our lives that have the greatest affect on our personal well-being, we’ll always wind up coming up empty handed. Learning how to put your best effort into areas that have the greatest impact in your life must first start with knowing what areas of your life are most important to YOU, not Barbara your next door neighbor or Maggie from the office.
