Anyone who has been through this will tell you just how incredibly helpless, useless and despairing one can feel. Depression numbs and throws into reverse the will to exist, it instantly takes you out of society and spills you deep into your lowest self, it brings your energy and capabilities to a shuddering halt, your self-image deteriorates and your self-worth vanishes. Depression to put it simply, is the nemesis of what being a human being is all about.

Self-Discovery & Exploration When is the last time you made time for self-reflection? When we take some time to ask those questions that allow us to explore and discover answers about where we are in our life and what things we would like to see changes in our life, this type of self-reflection can drive us to create an action plan that will help make our desires become a reality in our life. This may feel like work but it can feel like pleasure as well! Here are some questions to get you started: 1.How do you see yourself?

By this time in January, statistics tells us the most people have already broken their New Year’s Resolution.

Best-laid plans can easily fail when stressors present themselves. Has this ever happened to you?

There is no doubt about it. December is the time of year that is synonymous with giving. Whether it is family, friends, co-workers, charitable organizations, or the people who make our lives better, we all have our lists and are checking them twice! Most of us love to give – and when we do so, we feel good about ourselves, abundant, and alive. But what about receiving? Most people feel very uncomfortable about receiving!

Having a neuroscience background and having owned and operated a surgical and medical practice for many years prepared me for the new next level expression of my life purpose – to restore vision. It’s obvious how an eye surgeon restores vision. Then there’s expanding the vision for one’s life – that’s where my gift is focused now. Helping people to be themselves ‘Magnificently’ by closing the gap between their own intellect and heart is the new visio I have. Each and every one of us is unique and can make our own unique impact – if we learn to get out of our own way.

It doesn’t take much to increase your anxiety these days, especially if you’re already sensitive to it. Look at the news for a just a few minutes, and you can easily feel a mix of sadness, anger, pain, resignation and fear. When you see everything that’s happening in the world, you might wonder what you can do about it in your small corner of the world. It feels like so much is out of our control. Maybe you sometimes feel like whatever you do doesn’t matter since in the gra

Goals and desired outcomes seem to come in two flavors: the ones easier to achieve and the ones we struggle with. There’s a word you can apply to both that can shift the quality of your experiences and take some of the “charge” out of struggle. Goals and desired outcomes—personal and professional—are imbued with an aspect we are, hopefully, aware of but sometimes aren’t. That aspect is our Why—why we want or feel motivated or inspired about what we say we desire to experience.

As we were rushing around to get out the door for our 4th of July weekend trip to the lake, I misplaced my iPhone and was forced to leave without it...for 4 days! What at first seemed like a curse, ended up being a blessing! After the initial panic wore off, I actually felt free and liberated...and had lots of fun with Michelle, the girls, and our friends on the trip (probably more fun tha I would have had if my phone was with me).

I was recently invited to be a speaker for an upcoming online telesummit called The Power of Purpose. While I’m honored to be a part of this program, the invitation had me pause and reflect a bit about my own life and work, and specifically ask myself the question, “Am I living on purpose?” My initial answer was, “Yes, of course I am.” However, as I thought about it more deeply, I could see that there are many aspects of my life and my work that aren’t “on purpose” at all.

What CEO's DON'T Want You to Know......... Their biggest fear! The answer may shock you.

Do you ever say or get the response to the question about how things are going, “Same old, same old,” or something similar? What does this really mean? I woke and, still under the covers, said my statement of “Good morning. Thank you for another day.” My ego-mind followed with the thought, “More of the same.” I sat up quickly because another part of me said, “That’s impossible. Every moment is a new one. If anything is the same, it has to be you: your perceptions, thoughts, words, actions, and behaviors.” That got my attention because it rang, rather clanged loudly, of Truth.

Where do you experience most of your life? Is the majority of activity outside of you or inside your mind?

There’s nothing more invigorating, more breathtaking than awakening to find glorious spring flowers that have miraculously burst through the soil into full bloom. I find myself mesmerized by them, both astonished by and grateful for their exquisite beauty.

By all rights, your life should be pretty much perfect. You have a wonderful family, good job, and almost everything you could want. The problem is that you lack confidence and respect in yourself. To you, it seems as if everything you touch is a disaster. It may be that you feel as if you are getting too old, or you have gained too much weight. Maybe you think you should be further in your career than you are. It might be that you feel like you aren't a good mate or that you

Self-esteem is a way of thinking, feeling, and acting that implies you accept, respect, trust and believe in yourself. Self-esteem means that you have confidence that you can fulfill your deepest personal needs, aspirations and goals. It comes from within where you see yourself as a worthy, secure person who feels capable and able to handle whatever challenges may arise. Your self-esteem is developed at a very early age and it was your parents and caregivers who were the primary influence for how you developed your self-esteem.

There are several ways a woman can vent her frustrations and anger. Many of which could make things worse resulting in more trouble than she bargained for. Nonetheless, venting is a good skill to learn. But, do it smart! Don’t let it get the best of you, give your enemy power or sink a damaged ship. These are a few things to know or do when you feel the urge to vent (before you explode). Clear the room of all sharp objects. That includes the that will criticize and gossip about you later. Trust who you let listen.

When I was the lead trainer of an organisation called Speak To Influence, we traveled the country, delivering staff training to medium/large companies. We taught the attendees of our training sessions how to be influential while communicating (be it one-to-one communication or one-to-many). While there are many experts on communication out there (and they all specialise in their unique messages), there is one common denominator when it comes to creating influence. Many sales trainers will talk about this common denominator, and suggest that it be used in the sales process.

I was having breakfast with a very dear friend; I shared with her a situation that happened recently.
