I have been a teacher for most of my life. I have taught several subjects, including mathematics, problem solving, finances, leadership, computer programming, and statistics. Most of my teaching has been with post-secondary students, either in universities, proprietary schools, or through corporate training programmers.
I am constantly looking for new ways to connect with adult students, particularly those who have been relatively unsuccessful in the past. Getting people past their mental blocks, showing them how they can be successful, and giving them hope is what I strive to do in all my activities.

Cleaning Up Mental Clutter
"The key to getting what you want is to cause a shift in your vibrations to focus on what you do want." – Frank Mangano The Law of Attraction is based upon a more fundamental law, the Law of Vibration. The Vibration Law says that every result, every thought, everything has a particular vibration. The Law of Attraction states that you manifest those things with which your vibration harmonizes. To put it in scientific terms, like attracts like. What you are like are those things that harmonize with your vibration.

6 Ways to Improve Your Reading Comprehension
One of the reasons people do not read as much as should, at least according to what they tell me, is that they do not understand what they are reading. They end up reading the same thing over and over again, not understanding what they are seeing, and give up in frustration. They decide reading is of no practical value, and so they go and do something else. How can a person, particularly a person with limited experience, break this cycle? I would like to give you a few suggestions, if I may. 1. Read Magazine articles

Starting the Life Coaching Process
When someone talks to me about life coaching, they often ask me where it starts. “Where,” they say, “do you begin? After all, life is such a huge topic, how do you pick your starting point?” The starting point of a coaching program is determined by what can be called The Gap. Since gaps are defined by their edges, we start with those.

How to Be a Successful Adult Student – A Willingness to Try
When looking at a potential course of action, most people are torn between two positions: an eage ess to do something better and a fear of failure. Sadly, most people choose to emphasize the fear of failure. This is the driving force behind insurance, behind the “CYA” maneuvers, and behind procrastination. The saying “Taking care of number one” is an expression of fear for myself over whatever is being proposed. A student who operates from a fear of failure will often times receive exactly what she is fearing.

Success Habit: Working with an Accountability Partner
Sometimes we are more successful meeting commitments to others than to ourselves. This fact is the basis of what is known as using an accountability partner. What an Accountability Partner is Not An accountability partner is not a boss. Such a person does not pay us or reward us. We pay and reward ourselves for satisfying the commitment. Nor does our partner punish us. An accountability partner does not tell us what to do.

Just Getting Started With Confidence
We all want to be confident: confident in our work, confident in our thinking, confident in our relationships. We feel that we are lacking in confidence, sometimes to the point of fearfulness.

Family Budget: Income
A family budget consists of three parts – income, expenses, and savings. To create a workable financial statement for a family, all three parts must be understood. Each of the parts is similar to corresponding parts of a business budget, but the family’s budget has different perspectives and different priorities. A business accountant is often a poor financial planner to a family due to these differences. Almost always a family budget is based on a monthly time frame. That is the time frame used in this analysis.

Powering Up the Law of Attraction
The fundamental principle of the Law of Attraction is that what you think about is what you get. However, while that is what the law states, it needs power to accomplish that task. Without power, the Law of Attraction will work, but it will work slowly, in barely visible ways, and with just the bare minimum of results. To invoke the Law of Attraction in an intense, immediately effective way, you need give the law power. Source of Power
