I have worked with several Coaching clients this year who recently lost their job. Like so many people in that situation, their fear over finances started to suck their energy, and drag them into a downward spiral.

I’ve collaborated with Dr. Crystal Davis for the past two years. It’s been a nice creative process. I first met Crystal while she was working on her Ph.D. She had read my book “Path for Greatness: Work as Spiritual Service” and wanted to include it as a piece of her dissertation work. Here’s a post […]
I recently started reading, “The Pathwork of Self-Transformation” by Eva Pierrakos. From what I’ve gleaned so far, the Pathwork process is about finding the unresolved conflicts within you that create turmoil, problems, tensions in your life. It reminded me of the concept of Polarity Management, the ability to manage conflicting desires, needs, yearnings. The elusive […]

Then I got the video link below of a childhood friend of my niece and nephew. Clint Smith is a smart, articulate 20-something from New Orleans. Watching him […]
One of the biggest challenges at work is simply having time to think. Carving out precious minutes of silence is even more challenging. Yet from just 3-4 minutes of silent reflection for centering, you can quiet the monkey mind chatter. That precious ‘time out’ is valuable ‘time-in’ for new insights and fresh perspectives. You free […]
I had the pleasure of coaching Ilana Rea to help her transition from her full-time corporate job to taking a sabbatical so she could focus on her writing. Needless to say there was a lot of fear for her – about finances, what others might think about her leaving her job, being a stay-at-home mom, […]
Are you the kind of person who fills up your free time quickly with busy work? Beware of the Gerbil Wheel Trap! If you had a snow day recently or the President’s Day holiday- how did you spend your time? Instead of taking the opportunity to breathe, relax, unwind, reflect, I’m betting many of you […]
