The Elephant is in Charge

I was shocked when I realized how easy it is to get more of what we want in life if we'd just better understand how to harness the power of the mind. And yet, I am disappointed that more people aren’t talking about how the unconscious mind can make or break progress, because it's really in charge. I love the analogy used by the Buddhists which, I think, best describes the division of duties between the conscious and unconscious mind. They liken the conscious mind to the rider and the unconscious mind to the elephant.

Emotional Squatters

As a society, we are hooked on happiness. If you need any convincing, I encourage you to visit your favorite on-line book seller and type in the word happiness. There you will find thousands of titles that promise to share the secrets of living a more blissful and delight-filled life. And yet, regardless of the panacea of information found within most popular happiness self-help books, none pay adequate respect to the fact that many people will need an emotional clearing in order to live the happiness hypothesis.

Instant Healing, Really?

We want fast food, speedy customer service, instant messaging and expedited payments. And yet, there is something about the familiar that wants us to stay connected to Freud’s old paradigm that healing, forgiveness, and letting go of old beliefs is an arduous task that will take years. So, when I declare I offer a new type of coaching that allows people to achieve more of what they want...faster...some folks get skeptical. And, that is exactly what happened at the TEDx event last night.

Employee Engagement: It's an Inside Job

We’ve all heard the staggering statistics regarding employee engagement – less than 25 percent of our workforce shows up on Monday morning excited about work. By the way, those statistics represent the optimistic viewpoint. Some say employee engagement could be as low as 19 to 11 percent.(1) Regardless of what number you land on, it means too many people are physically showing up for work, but leaving their best self at home.

The Little Brain Makes Scary, Scarier

Most people today understand that our childhood shapes how we see, experience and respond to the world around us. So much so, it’s easy to assume someone who’s subjected to a challenging upbringing is at risk for carrying unwanted protective “baggage” into adulthood. And yet, we now know that a design flaw of the brain can easily misinterpret even the most benign of childhood experiences into scary memories that can hold us captive for a lifetime.

Making Change Easier

Who hasn’t set a New Year’s resolution or declared a commitment to change some small aspect of who they are—only to disappoint themselves a few days later? We promise ourselves we will be more patient, positive, or forgiving. We vow to work out or show up on time, but still find ourselves with a stockpile of experiences that fuel the myth that change is hard. Let me tell you why this saga feels true, and how to make change easier.

Solving Problems at the Root Cause

People have problems; they’re a reality of living life. However, most people are trying to solve problems at the level of the symptom, while the disease goes untreated. I’m going to tell you how to determine if the action you take is only solving the symptom while the root-cause is left untreated and left to manifest more problems again in the future.

Becoming Enough

How often do you feel enough? Slim enough, successful enough, loved enough, smart enough, worthy enough, accepted enough…just enough. I’m not talking about intellectually embracing the value of loving yourself unconditionally, but feeling I AM ENOUGH in every cell of your body? That’s right — if you are like many people, the notion that you are good enough is a platitude never to be reached. In fact, it’s the biggest complaint from my clients. I’d like to tell you why this untruth can feel true and what you can do to change your reality.

Success Starts in the Mind

Disappointed at not getting the results they desire. Frustrated because they aren’t loving what they do. Unhappy with the direction of their life. These obstacles cause clients to come to us to seek help in getting on the right track. Unfortunately, Kathy fit into all three categories. An insurance actuary by day and life coach by night, she just couldn’t see the runway ahead that led to the building of her practice without giving up the security of her day job. As she explained, with two small children and a family to support, this just wasn’t an option. Kathy was frustrated.

Beliefs: The Invisible Fence

What allows someone to achieve the results they desire in the workplace – or in life - while others strive, but stop short of their dreams? I believe it revolves around choice. Sometimes we make a conscious choice to let our dreams go, but more often, it’s the choices at the unconscious level that sabotages our efforts at success. When I think of my experiences coaching people over the last twenty-five years, those who experience greater success and happiness have blazed their own trail and made choices aligned with what they want and expect from life.

Getting Clear and Congruent

Are feelings and thoughts enough to create the things we want in life? In 2006, the bestselling movie and book entitled The Secret gained widespread popularity by telling us just that. If we declare our intentions and step into the emotions of already receiving what we desire, the result will manifest itself. I’m not here to debunk the notion, but to share what they forgot to tell you. You have to take action. That’s right — you have to be prepared do something.

Early Callings

I heard the saddest thing the other day in a restaurant. At a nearby table a mom admonished her young daughter, “Stop playing pretend so much! Stop making things up. People won’t know when you’re pretending or when you’re being yourself.”

Discover Your Brilliance

Like Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code, Laura from my career empowerment group has honed her innate ability to find patterns in things that are out of order. She can look at a desk, a closet, the trunk of a car, or an entire household, and know instinctively how to organize it so it makes sense. Laura is brilliant – a creative person in every cell of her being, which explains the hipness you detect when you meet her for the first time. She was born with an innate curiosity to make sense of the world.

Excellence: Back to the Basics

Our current economic crisis is a perfect example of the short-term approach we’ve taken in our quest for success. With so much emphasis on material abundance and the accumulation of wealth - wealth for wealth’s sake – many find themselves holding a bag of defunct currency in today’s economy. ...

Lipstick without a Dream

The statistic alone tells an interesting story—it’s estimated that 75 percent of folks wake-up on Monday morning uninspired about what they do for a living. In response to this epidemic, a plethora of experts, consultants and coaches are making their living telling us how to solve this unfortunate phenomenon. Most of the advice, I believe, isn’t getting to the root cause of why so many individuals aren’t able to bring their hearts to the office. We are afraid.

Modern Day Heretic

I decided to be a modern day heretic when my lifetime of professional and personal experiences told me we are going about career fulfillment all wrong. I concluded we don’t need more free sodas, flex hours, or a louder declaration that bringing our strengths to work can solve today’s biggest business dilemma. These are analogous to putting lipstick on a pig, because none address the real reasons we can’t love work. We are afraid.
