Life in Alignment
Sometimes life on the outside can seem great but you know there is something missing. You have a stimulating job, a beautiful home, a loving family but...
I found a great tool that I use with my coaching clients to articulate their core values. If their life does not honor their top four values, they don't feel fulfilled.
You can use this tool at no cost on the www.AuthenticHappiness.org website.
It’s not all about the winning
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Arizona Cardinals football team. Karl, my life partner, is from Philadelphia. We went to the playoff game this weekend. He wore his Philadelphia Eagles hat. At the end of the game, there was a pile of cups, not all completely empty, that Cardinals fans threw at him. Where's the love man?
We like rooting for the winning team and harassing the "others." I
Your vision is your anchor
While teaching in Chile this week, one of the women asked me how to deal with her boss who treats her like a child. I asked her what she does now. She said she ends up arguing with him even when the issue is not worth her time.
I remembered a time when I was complaining about a similar situation to a friend when I was still working for someone else.
What drives your need to achieve?
I love the feeling of knowing I just delivered a great class or a powerful coaching session. Yet how I define "great" and "powerful" has shifted for me over time.

He had been a drifter before he found Best Friends. He roamed from city to city on his motorcycle. When he couldn't
Who is Chasing You?
Recently, a coach told me that my parents abused me.
She didn't mean I was physically abused. She didn't mean I was psychologically abused through demeaning words or behavior.
She said I was abused because the my parents gave me their love on a conditional basis. The condition was that I would excel at everything I do.
Now I do believe my parents loved me. However, after a long debate, I opened up
I hate the word “crone”
One of the hardest transitions I have had to make is going from being the center of attention to coaching and inspiring others to stand in the light of admiration. Not that I have totally given up center stage. Yet I now see that my purpose is truly in passing the baton.
I am in Panama teaching a leadership class. On the second day, four of the strongest women in the class
You cannot lead an ordinary life.
Last week's ER episode had a great message for passionate, driven women (yes, I am still watching ER).
Neela, the brilliant British-Indian woman who is finishing her surgical rotation, seemed distracted and close to tears all day.
At the end of the day in the break room, she has a melt down, saying "I can't do this anymore." She may seem like she is holding it together on the outside, but inside,
