Do you have a resolution for 2010? Now that we’re half-way through February, how’s your resolution going? My two 2010 resolutions are “listen” and “allow.” For me, resolutions are not about a hard, fast, painful commitment to change. Rather, they are like a light that shines on my life to help me find a new way. I’ve noticed a few slip-ups on my resolution, yet I believe it’s perfect.

Last week, my husband Greg and I went mobile phone shopping. I had one of those flip phones that allows you to make phone calls and that’s about it. I couldn’t email anyone or look up anything on the web. I really needed a better way to stay connected! I’ve been with the same mobile phone company for 9 years. Hard to believe, right? I’m slow to commit but once I do, loyal to the end! So the first place I went was to my current carrier’s store to see what they had to offer.

Yesterday was a great day! Not that all days are great in one way or another, yesterday brought an inner smile. I’ve been baking cookies for my grandso Bryce and his classmates since first grade. He’s now in fifth. Every Friday I’ve watched his eyes light up as I appeared with another batch ...

Each of us holds core beliefs about life. These belief systems have an incredible impact on our ability to be happy in life because they have a tendency to create expectations that all too often leave us feeling disappointed, resentful or angry. By uncovering these core beliefs, many of them sub-conscious, we can examine their validity and thereby save ourselves from much self-imposed unhappiness. For example, I may hold a belief that people should be kind to one another. Conceptually this is a good idea. The world would be a better place if we were all kind with one another.

Introverts: We’re 51% of the population, and still people don’t get who we are and how we function best. We are in your workplace as employees, colleagues, managers, bosses. We can be a family member, child, lover, or friend. We are definitely well represented among your clients and customers. Not understanding us is your loss. You may be crying out for creative, innovative thought without realizing that you have it within your circle – housed in quiet people who too often feel shut out of group processes.

Do you realize how hard we work at most everything we have in our lives? We carefully choose everything we eat, whether it is choosing from a menu, from the aisles at the grocery store, growing our food, or preparing a meal.

The other day I instant messaged with a young man who said he struggled with sadness and depression. When I asked why, he told me he had just attended a school reunion. Prior to the get together he’d been feeling great. Post-reunion was another story. After hearing the tales his mates told about what was happening in their lives, he began to attack himself. “Why is everyone farther along tha I am? Something must be wrong with me. I’m behind in life!” He felt tremendous anxiety—he thought he had to push himself to stay in “the race” with his peers.

In our last issue of “Core Connections” we talked about the importance of building a strong and dependable support system consisting of carefully chosen friends with whom you can depend.

And when you start missing deadlines and getting assigned additional projects, things can get so much worse. These could even result in you having a negative score in the employee performance evaluation or even getting fired from your job. It is the common instinct of employees to keep their struggles to themselves because they don’t want to look or sound like a big failure if they speak about their difficulty keeping up with all their work.

"Whole Life Coaching" is an unfamiliar term to many people. It's true that athletes commonly work with coaches to become proficient in particular sport. And recently, working with the coach to achieve one's business goals has also become a common practice. However, life coaching is a bit different. It seeks to address all aspects of your life, instead of simply focusing on one area. And just as with other forms of coaching, an exceptional coach can produce exceptional result
