Yesterday I attended a really great Vistage event. For those of you who don't know, Vistage is a high-level, International business coaching company catering to CEO's and CSuite Executives. At this particular event, it was mostly all high-level CEO’s with multimillion-dollar businesses.

Vistage members gathered to learn from a top-notch sales trainer that would take us through his 10 sure-fire sales systems. As CEO's they need to be in the know of how their sales teams are performing, even thou...

Do you know what to do when you get EMOTIONALLY TRIGGERED?

There are two ways of handling it. You'll either block your growth or bust it wide open. I'm assuming you'd like to grow. (wink-wink, smile!) Handling it in a beneficial way can be the predictor of your success. 

Emotional Triggers happen to all of us...

Have you ever felt that lump in your throat, or anxiousness to speak your mind? That churning stir in your belly? It’s a visceral feeling from an emotional thought, and it jolts you.

Have you ever said?  "It's just how I do things." or "It's just who I am." 

Self Acceptance is vital. Yet, what I'm suggesting is to be in a mindset of continual self-improvement.  In my work, its common practice to assist a client in breaking through a mental block. 

Often our mental blocks, aka subconscious setpoints are rooted in the beliefs created from childhood adversities and survival mode, as well as some others we've formed along the way. 

Exploring why you have the BELIEFS you have ...

Words have power. Yes, indeed. The power to lift our spirits and brighten our day. What if three little words could become so ingrained that their simplicity literally changes your attitude or next action?

Dare I say...."Light Your Fire!" 

I thought it would be fun to accumulate some of our favorite three-word statements and share them here. I started the list and then enlisted some of my Facebook friends and our Mind Body FIT Members from our Wednesday Leadership group online.

They added som...

What if You Could Design Your Mind with What You Need to Succeed?

From the beginning of my career, way back in 1997 all I ever wanted to do was empower people. It’s mind-boggling when I reflect on how that purpose-driven goal put me on stages in front of thousands and thousands of people. From sold-out amphitheater shows in Canada to corporate, college and state fair gigs throughout America, cruise ships across the planet to repeatedly flying in for the U.S. Marines Corps stationed in Japan and...

Remember that moment when you were recognized for your hard work?

It felt so good didn’t it?

Being validated for all the effort you put in makes the journey worth it. I want to give you extra love on whatever that thing is. From cleaning up the dishes after dinner to pulling off a big presentation at work. It requires effort and participation on your part. Good for you for being the person that is willing to jump in.

“The future depends on what we do in the present.” -a quote from Mahatma Gan...

Women are breaking out and breaking through. It’s exciting and you are one of them! Feeling good in your body is an important aspect of the business journey and you’ve got a nagging voice in the back of your head that is urging you to pay more attention to your health.

Why is business so separate from health? 

The way mind body practices are presented in American culture are peculiar to me.  The Yoga-esque and new agey groups encourage us to be one with our mind and body. Google it and you’ll ...

It was the spring of 2007.  Six months pregnant with my daughter Savvy in my belly, I packed my bags and flew off to the glorious, earthy magic of Santa Fe New Mexico. My intention was to learn from the incomparable Gary DeRodriguez, a man I respected greatly in the Hypnosis and Coaching world. 

I received a weighty curriculum book with hundreds of techniques. I wondered how I would learn it all. Early each morning we'd wholeheartedly dive into the work. I found the training to be intensely per...

Hi friends, I have a question for ya! When you get thrown off your routine, what do you do to adjust quickly? 

When new people sign up for my online program Change Up Your LIfe Challenge, they often say, "well I'm just not exercising anymore and I need to get back on track." 

I'll ask, what threw you off? 

They 'll respond with things like...

"My business has taken all my time and it's super stressful."

"I got sick."

"When winter came I stopped going outside."

"My schedule changed and I c...

What have you been waiting your whole life to hear?

“If I could just hear, I’m sorry.”

“If only I would have had a better upbringing."

“If he would just acknowledge what he did.”

 “If only they would have said I love you more.”

“If they would have kept me safe.”

“If only I knew why.”

"If only they would acknowledge my accomplishments." 

 Our life-long internal struggles are usually things we don’t express to many people. With trust, we learn to open up to a friend, or a spouse. But, some...
