Are You A Victim Of The"Wind-Up Toy Syndrome?" How To Free Yourself

Did you know that you have approximately 60,000 different thoughts during the day? We are not aware of most of them because of all the mental noise they create, because they most often come from the unconscious, and because they are generated by unconscious beliefs that we experience as “the ways things are.” nnWe’re talking about a lot of mental clutter. As long as it remains outside of our awareness, it is running us. We are motivated by fear, things seem

"Resist Not" Your Greatness: 6 Simple Ways

âResist not evilâ is a quote that has puzzled millions of people for over 2,000 years, and still does today. But what is even more puzzling and frustrating is why we resist our good. Why do we resist what we love, what we are called to do, our deepest yearnings, our biggest dreams and expressing our gifts? I love to speak in front of all sizes of groups of people, and will tell anybody that I do. Itâs when I feel the most alive in my purpose, where I feel I make the big

100% Is Easier: The Lessons Of Raw

A few years ago when I was in training with the Coaches Training Institute, I remember one of the leaders saying that it is easier to give 100% - easier than 95%, or anything less than 100%. That resonated for me. In the moment I knew the truth of it, but put it into some “future query file.”nnIt clearly came home to me almost six years later. I made a decision to eat a 100% raw diet and let go of all caffeine.nnI had a sense for two years that this was the best w

Selling Is Not Natural: Market With Soul Instead

Do you find it challenging to discuss your fees or prices with potential clients? Does traditional sales language such as "front end," "back end," "up sell" - even "sell" - make you cringe?nnIf your answer is "Yes," this may be very good and I'll tell you why. But first rest assured that "YOU ARE NOT ALONE." In fact, you are in the majority.nnWhy do you think selling is so hard? It's because selling is not natural - it goes against our desires to be genuine, to connect with o

Are You the See-Er or the Seen? Discover the Key to Joyful Service

Are you concerned about how others see you? When you sit down to write an article -- like I am now -- or have a conversation with a prospective client, speak to an audience, or show your work it is easy to be concerned about how you look, how you will be seen. Will you be accepted or rejected? Praised or judged? On the other hand, what's really most important to you is to make a positive difference by being who you are, using your gifts and bringing your message to the world.

Stand Out Naturally! Isnât it Time to Let Your Light Shine?

Do you have any idea what a powerhouse you are, naturally? The potential energy within you alone could light up the largest city of several million people closest to you. Thatâs LA for me, it was Boston before. What is the one closest to you? Get that city in your mind and imagine it standing in darkness. In your imagination, make a decision to activate your potential power and light up your nearby city. Visualize the lights coming on until the city is fully lit. Isnât it

Once Upon a Time - Style It and Profile It

Once upon a time, she knew that she would be driving back to Boston rather than flying. She didn't know directly - she simply had a sense about it, a few days before her flight to Savannah to visit her family in Lyons.nnThe first morning she was in Lyons, she went for a walk to see the sights and to breathe in the fresh air of this little town in Southeast Georgia that she loved, the same one from which she had run away years ago.nnIt was November, still warm, and the ground

Are You Psychic? Use Your Most Important Life and Business Skill

Are you psychic? I mostly wanted to get your attention with that question. But there is another reason I used it as well. The word psychic really repels some people. There are a lot of negative beliefs about people who are "psychics" like they are fake, unstable, weird, scam artists, etc. Psychic ability can be misused as can any other ability. And it can be used for the highest good. Maybe it's time to move beyond the negative connotations of "psychic" - which may be limitin

Once Upon a Time...The Princess, The Queen and She

Once upon a time, on the morning of the last day of the 3-day, Personal Growth – Brand Authenticity workshop, SHE was one among many to come in the early morning to sit at the feet of the Princess of Brand Authenticity (also a guru in the mind of her subjects), before the official program began. She had come early because the brand she took on yesterday, with enthusiasm, but without wholeheartedness, was not “IT.” nnWhile SHE didn’t know what “IT

Step Into Your Greatness. . . Where Playing Small Is No Longer An Optionâ¢

Step into Your Greatness. . . where playing small is no longer an option™ is my brand, my tag line and an invitation all in one. This single line creates remarkable (but not surprising) responses. They are usually of the “I want that!” variety, or they express wistfulness and a lack of belief in the possibility of it.nnPeople recognize and relate to playing small much more than they do to greatness. Playing small is a habit, and one that not a single one of

Is it Time for a Tune Up?

Have you checked your authenticity, aliveness and connection meter lately? Some years ago when I first started coaching, my passion was just that - authenticity, aliveness and connection. Thatâs what I wanted for everyone. I still do. I had seen many of my friends trading the precious hours of their lives for a paycheck doing work - or in a system - that crushed their individuality and dulled their senses. While I was a stress management consultant and trainer, I was surpri

Fear Getting In The Way? Try A Passion Prescription

Does fear ever immobilize you, or keep you from moving forward? nnPassion is a perfect prescription - or antidote - for fear. You will see why as you read on about an intuitive vision consultation I did for a business owner the other day. She came to me because of a chronic problem - she was often frozen by fear that seriously affected her productivity.nnShe said that sometimes one challenging telephone call she needs to make could "destroy three days" of her life.

Would You Believe...?

Would you believe that what you believe is alive and well in every aspect of your life today? What do you have faith in? What do you believe to be true? If you let this question live in you for a while, you may be surprised at some of your many answers. nnYou each probably have faith that the sun will rise every morning and usher in the light of day, and that it will set each evening and with it, the light will dim.
