BEING YOU… the only way to learn, live & thrive
Several months ago I posted an insight on social media that gained a lot of traction. The basic premise was “How could you ask me to do that…? I’m just NOT that kind of brain!” How often do children get asked to perform tasks or duties they have a lot of difficulty with? How often…
GET IN YOUR ZONE
We all have our natural learning style and daily life pace – the sweet spot where things feel easy, effortless and we can manifests authentic results. The question is, how often do we spend time there? Would it be ideal if you could access your optimal zone frequently? Well you can…it’s wired in you, you…
Your Sunny Disposition
Did you know that on a sunny day, you are more likely to say yes to a new idea, invitation or request, than on a cloudy day? No, you’re not a push over, but your glass is definitely half full and you’re probably wearing a smile. Likely you’ve noticed this in your own life, a…

Laughology
Years ago, hosting and producing a Wellness TV program for a local cable station, I would regularly bring guests into the studio for interviews about their service, products, and expertise. Sometimes I would take camera crew to event locations to gather footage and dialogue there. On one particular occasion we set off to the Metro…
Now Is Later
Years ago I heard a line that has stuck with me…”If you want to know what your life will look like years from now, take a look at it today. How true is that? Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances that take us by surprise or throw us for a loop, but for the most part,…
Giving It Your All

Although she was doing a fine job, it was apparent to her supervisors that she was not giving her best effort and could do better. Later she commented to a colleague that she’d happily make more…
The You Effect
I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of “The Butterfly Effect” and the idea that something as simple as the flap of a butterfly wing in one part of the world can have a significant impact (like a hurricane) in another part of the world.
