    Network Your Way to Your Next Opportunity

With time at a premium for most working adults, adding more to an already full schedule may feel like another obligation. It’s true that unless there is a clear intention and purpose, attending an event with a general notion of making contacts is unrealistic. It requires a plan and a purpose. We recommend the 3-3-3 approach as a minimum

    Change Your Mindset…Change Your Life!

    “Life is a one-way street. No matter how many detours you take, none of them leads back. Once you know and accept that, life becomes much simpler.” Isabel  Moore Changing your mindset is not like changing your shirt. Preliminary to making a change is choosing a goal, creating a plan and committing to a course of action. Having good intentions does not get the job done and it is far too easy to lapse back into old actions that supported old behaviors. Once you set the intentio

    Seasonal Adjustment Tips

    It’s fall and you are preparing to ramp up. It’s winter and the days are short and dreary. It’s spring and you long for sunshine and the lazy days ahead. Well, that takes care of another year and the accompanying seasonal blocks. Of course your excuses may be more elaborate yet the result is the same; no action plan and an abundance of self-judgment for dessert. A less than nourishing meal for anyone, in fact, it is a recipe for continued inertia topped with a hint of boredom

    Lost your MOJO? Check your GPS first!

    Well, that takes care of another year and the accompanying seasonal blocks. Of course your excuses may be more elaborate yet the result is the same; no action plan and an abundance of self-judgment for dessert.

    Is Your Elephant Still in the Closet?

    If your elephant is still in the closet: • Stop taking peeks • Open the door • Coax him/her out with a handful of peanuts Oftentimes, the simple act of bravely confronting what you deem to be so uncomfortable is a huge step in calming the messages down. In my case, the day prior to any speaking engagement is the time when I hope the organization will call to cancel. It is reminiscent of school days and praying for a snowstorm. In the beginning, these thoughts took longer t
