This blog has made its way across the country and right to you. I am in Connecticut co-facilitating an image training and personal development seminar with The Winning Edge for about a week.

Alright, I’ve tried to hold off for as long as possible, but I just can’t stand it anymore! Are you tired of hearing about New Years Resolutions or do you actually need the kick in the pants right about now to continue getting up early with me and my 15 new 6:15am yoga classmates [...]

Why I Ride On Shopping Carts And Other Important Life Questions

I went to bed last night feeling disappointed and slightly off. Not meltdown off, or toss and turn all night off, or write a poem about my emotions off. Just off. Do you ever have those moments? You know, things are generally okay, nothing major or minor really, the day was good. And heck, I [...]

Opportunity Coach: It Is Everywhere, Do You See It?

I set off for a walk through the 80 degree sun filled Willamette Park around 7pm this evening and found myself comforted standing shoeless and flat footed with my toes occasionally pinching the grass below. I focused on my breath, how incredibly great it feels to breathe in the clear blue skies and sunshine of [...]

Coaching During The Shift: Energy + Economy = Opportunity
