If you want to end the year on top and go into the new year with a vengeance, here are some tips from a few different perspectives. Maybe you are the person who had a great year and want to end the year with positive motivation to carry you into the new year. My tips for you are to: Reflect and Celebrate.

Getting Results in Your Life, Career and Business

Published by

I have been spending the last several weeks regrouping and refocusing while investing in myself. Sometimes, we as women focus so much on making sure everyone else is OK that we forget about investing in ourselves. I am sure you can relate. I have done a lot of soul-searching, meditating, reading and even had some vacation time to come back with a bang.

The second thing I firmly believe in is that you must identify and carry out specific goals and a firm action plan to live the life of your dreams.

Navigating Life Changes

Published by

Wow! 2013 is coming to an end and what a year it has been for me, my friends, family, clients, and others I work with in the corporate world. This year has been full of much change both good and bad for many. Can anyone else out there relate? I know I can. With most any kind of change there is stress, uncertainty, and sometimes nervousness, fear, or even frustration. How does one navigate times of change? I will give you 4 steps that I use for myself and my coaching clients. 1. First, you should assess the change and how it relates to you and your situation. Instead of being hesitant about the change, think about the positives the change may bring to your life. It may not be as scary as you think and may present opportunities you hadn’t considered before. 2. Next, let go of what was or let go of the past. According to William Bridges, an expert in managing change; people have to accept that something is ending before they can …

Renewal and Self-Discovery

Published by

                        You might have noticed that it has been a while since I posted a blog. I have been busy not only coaching my wonderful clients but I have also been in a period of reflection, self-discovery and renewal. I have continued help my coaching clients reflect, discover and renew, then realized that I needed to take some time to do the same for myself. You might ask, “What did you learn during this period of time?” I learned quite a few things. I learned that during such periods, I don’t have a lot to say other than sharing with and supporting my clients (of course) and those close to me.However, now that I am refreshed and have even more clarity, I will begin sharing more with my followers as I have more things to say.I also learned more about my calling and purpose. My personal mission is and always has been to ‘help others to live excellent more fulfilled live, ultimately fulfilling their …

Programming Your Mind for Success

Published by

In a previous blog called “Self-Talk” we learned that your self-talk is related to what you believe you can or cannot accomplish in life. If you want to move forward and live a life with positive results, it has to start with positive self-talk. Let’s discuss self-talk in more detail by analyzing the function of both the conscious and the subconscious mind. This is an important element to understand because it relates to your thoughts which is connected to your self-talk. The conscious mind is the part of your mind that thinks and reasons, and makes everyday decisions. Most of us are fairly aware of our conscious thoughts as the conscious mind includes everything that is within our awareness. The subconscious mind consists of everything that is currently not in your conscious mind. It stores all of your previous life experiences, beliefs, memories, skills, all the situations you’ve been through, and all images you’ve ever seen. It is important to be aware of our subconscious thoughts because the subconscious mind is running the show and, …

Managing Your Emotions

Published by

Over the past few years I have learned a lot about myself, particularly as it relates to my emotions, and how to properly manage them. At a certain point in my life, I realized that if I didn’t take proactive steps to better manage my emotions then they would manage me. I used to find myself in situations where I would overreact, worry unnecessarily, or experience anxiety over things that I could not control. However, through lots of self-reflection and personal coaching, I have come a long way in managing my emotions – so much that I am not only sharing some of my experience in this blog post, but I am also working on writing a book about my journey. I thought that I would give you a sneak peek into what I am writing about in hopes that it will help you in some way. What are Emotions? Webster’s dictionary defines emotions as a natural, instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. Webster’s defines the word “emotional” …
