A New Adventure And A New Stage Of Life

I was speaking with a close friend tonight who is retired. He was saying how his initial intent in retiring was to take it easy, read great novels, have coffee, watch the waves while doing puzzles and just enjoying the next stage of life. His reality however became something very unexpected. He volunteers in one group where he represents his…

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…

It’s All In Your Mind

YOU BET IT IS! In listening to a podcast the other day, one of the distinctions that was made about Business Coaches was that some deal with the very pragmatic (theoretically, solely pragmatic) issues of finances, creating business plans, etc. while others deal with mindset. It caused me to do a short meditation on what it is that I do.…

Different Lives – Different Experiences

Do you ever forget that there is so much more to you than simply your career and your family? Your family can be a blessing that makes life so worth living. Hopefully, your career calls you to continuously become so much more of who you are meant to be. Nonetheless, the many additional aspects of you may include your love…

A Life of Purpose and Awe

Life is one of those adventures that calls us repeatedly to remember who we are, what we are doing, and why. I know I am not the only one on the planet who has an endless number of tasks that need to be done. So much so that we can forget what we were doing when we momentarily stop. Still,…

Your Choice!

Last Wednesday I was blessed to speak to almost 400 women at an annual conference. Leadership: Purpose, Passion, & Power was the title of my talk. Staring out at this huge room with packed circular tables everywhere, I started with “What if I told you every one of us is called to leadership?” and then “What if I told you…

What’s Your Impact?

After speaking with someone about my work as a teacher, I mentioned that for every physician I taught the method of integrative health I developed, there were probably 1,000 or more patients he or she impacted over their career. I impacted one, he or she impacted thousands. Think of that….  Having taught innumerable physicians, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, occupational…

State of Being

For many of us, there is a belief (or illusion) that when we are truly present our mood, energy, and focus is dependent upon, or greatly impacted by, the many interruptions, individuals, and circumstances that come our way on a moment-to-moment basis. I am here to say that is not at all the truth.  We are so powerful that every…

Are You Listening or Hearing?

Today I had an experience that I had long forgotten about. Years ago, my private practice was primarily with individual patients but on occasion I would work with couples at their request. Today brought back so many memories when I saw a couple in my office. I repeated in the beginning, as I always did, “I don’t see good guys…

The Four Agreements

I had an interesting conversation with a friend/business associate this week, and one of the key points I made was about the necessity of knowing what your integrity looks like. It will frequently be challenged by numerous situations which arise, some offering you options to short-cut, to let a touch of integrity go, or to rationalize to justify a particular…
