 “Love Yourself First and Everything Else Falls Into Place”

-Lucille Ball-

 February 2015 Insight

So true! Self-love is a critical component to living life well! It impacts almost every aspect of our lives. From social and intimate relationships to the image we project at work and in our communities as well as how effectively we cope with life challenges. It’s development can only occur if direct actions are taken to support one’s physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. So in the spirit of Valentines Day, a holiday  many of us typically designate as a time to express our love to those near and dear to us, I’m going to ask you to do the same for yourself! (more…)

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…)

Keeping Your Fire Stoked

December 2014 Insights

There’s no better feeling then pride and success in living a life you can truly say you love to live. So naturally, maintaining and sustaining our life objectives can be filled with a whole lot of trepidation. Most if not all of my clients inevitably come to me and share their concerns over their fears of possibly falling back to old defeating habits, losing their momentum and squashing their potential. So since it’s almost the end of the year I thought I’d take this month’s newsletter to not only address this shared concern but also highlight these insights as valued strategies for everyone to consider moving into the new year.

Giving Thanks

 November 2014 Insights

The other day someone asked me, “what’s one of the best decisions you’ve ever made?” Without hesitation, I said becoming a women’s leadership coach. Now of course I’ve made some other instrumental decisions in my life, like marrying one of the greatest people I know and then of course creating a family with him. There was also the decision of welcoming a 75lb dog into our lives and I have to admit purchasing a Keurig coffee machine rates rather high on good decisions made. However, the question in and of itself- “What’s One of the Best Decision I’ve Ever Made”- really got me thinking and why was leadership coaching the first thing I blurted out? (more…)

Strategies On Creating Effective Change

 October 2014 Insights

There’s no season like autumn that screams the reality that change is inevitable. With the temperature dropping, days getting shorter and leaves turning bright colors of red, orange and yellow- fall seems like the perfect time of year to celebrate the powerful benefits of CHANGE. Yet understandable, effecting positive change doesn’t generally come easy. Rather it requires work, a conscious effort and a true willingness to push oneself out of their comfort zone. That is why so many of us shutter at the mere mention of the word change. Leaving the familiar to embrace the unknown can be a scary endeavor. So in support of a more opportunistic stance on change I’d like to take this month’s Keys To Success Insights and share some key strategies that I believe enhance its process and ease the challenges that accompanies it.
