Underperforming? Why Self-Awareness is More Important than Your Task List.


True fulfillment in the business world is about WHO YOU ARE BEING 
rather than WHAT YOU ACHIEVE.  

This belief has inspired my coaching style for 10+ years, as I've built my programs around personal development above skills or tactics.  I do embrace the value and importance of both approaches, but the power of mindset is my passion for helping professionals enjoy a fully expressed business life. 

One of my favorite coaching mantras:  
"In business, personal growth IS business growth." 

I've got endless stories about clients who think they want coaching on their business issues and that our sessions will move them forward. Very true.  But it  ALWAYS ends up we are talking at a deeper level about their self-awareness issues. These are the sessions that move them forward the most.  

Improving self-awareness moves them right past the "original issue" they thought they were having, and we coach our way right out of the entire pattern that created the issue in the first place.  It feels relieving, empowering and free. 

Yes, we drill down to the tasks most needed to complete the productivity list, but the real results are influenced by the harder work of facing where personal changes need to be made.

Dark Days to Major Blessings: Make the Most of the Holidays.

Image
The holiday season has officially begun with Happy Hanukkah yesterday, and even though we are technically still in the last several days of autumn, it feels like we've already entered into Winter with the days getting shorter and darker.  Winter Solstice is December 20th, then Christmas then New Year's! Do you add any personal or family holidays to that list?  ​​​​Now we have a new opportunity to embrace the darkness.   While the holiday buzz fills our lives, we are still settling into the darkness even if we try to deny it or frantically move through it. We are flowing with nature regardless. . . so why not invoke this organic part of our nature?  The winter-holiday-darkness-time is truly a season of major blessings - available only if you let yourself lean into it with an open heart. (Rather than getting caught up in the year-end rush of "everything", or even getting caught up in negative judgements of too-cold, or too-dark, or commercialism, or family

Summer Your Dreams!

What is your favorite way to make the most of summertime?  Each season brings unique opportunities for our personal growth.  Winter might bring you deeper inside yourself, as you take time to slow down, stay warm, and reflect in the shorter days. Spring and Summer might bring your soul toward outward expression, seeing more of who you are in action or in response to light and energy and warmth. Summer has a feeling of "time off".  Winter has a feeling of "hunkering down".   How you embrace or resist parts of each season is a reflection of how you embrace or resist other key areas of your life. There is much to learn about yourself through raising awareness in the different seasonal energies.  How will you fully express your SUMMER?  Everything is fresh in summertime. Food is fresh, living is easier or cleaner or simpler. Sunshine is abundant and activates the playful side. Summertime can be an intermission for the whole year - a time for a break or refreshm

How to Boost Your Creativity to Reach Your Goals

Here’s my philosophy about creativity:  Creative energy is within all of us, we just need to make room for it and give ourselves permission to follow it’s wisdom. Us humans have different levels of creativity and we each express it in different ways. My philosophy is just an invitation to see your creativity as an ever-present resource you can tap into more and more. And the more you do, the more you will see positive results, thereby making it continuously easier to enjoy the benefits of your creative energy. Like that happy feeling!  Think about creativity as a style or expression we can all say we value or enjoy or appreciate – which are all positive things.  Imagine feeling the benefits of your creative energy, such as the joy of getting a new idea, or the surprise of a new insight. Imagine the fun of seeing something fitting with something else you didn’t think was possible. And then enjoying the result of the new combination – if anything else, just for the new-shinine
