Moving Beyond A Myth

“The myth of normal is a cloak that disguises the immense diversity and complexity of the human experience, obscuring the truth that we are all vulnerable and flawed, yet capable of extraordinary resilience and growth.”                                                  …

Life Is Quite An Adventure

One day this week I posted on LinkedIn, with a picture from above the clouds and said: “No matter where you are with your business, or your life, it is an amazing adventure to watch how expanded our field of influence is.” A wonderful, hilarious, woman and friend who follows me responded: “Ohhhh, what an adventure! What a trip!” with…

Impact And Influence

No matter where you are with your business, or your life, it is an amazing adventure to watch how expanded our field of influence is. As I sit here at the gas station/repair shop getting my oil changed (along with filters etc.) I just joined a group of wild coaches in supporting each other expanding our reach. This after answering…

The Gifts Of Independence And Choice

In listening to a recording of a commencement speech that Denzel Washington gave, he spoke about his many failures and his many opportunities to give up, in addition to his phenomenal success. We have all had all three. Amazingly, in this time of celebrating independence, and having the ability to make choices, to take risks, to fail, and to then…

Choosing Transformation

In speaking about my new company, The Transformational Institute, to others, it kept coming to me that my life has been all about learning, teaching, and transforming myself? A woman who attended a LinkedIn Live I did a few weeks ago, whom I hadn’t seen in decades, said she was shocked at the woman I had become. It was so…

A Success Story – Patti

Like most of us, I sometimes question what I am doing. Depending upon the day, my question may be: “Am I reaching all the people I could and, if not, what do I need to do differently?” or on a larger scale: “Should I simply do everything differently to be more “successful?” When your desire is to help make the…

A Special Weekend

This weekend was a special weekend with family. My marvelous kid sister mentioned it has been many years since the siblings have all gotten together other than for funerals or major events so we should all drive or fly in for a gathering at her place at Rohoboth Beach, Delaware. Four out of five of us did. One, the “baby,” insisted…
