Sometimes, when you show up and are fully present, what you’re looking for is where you are.  I was recently in an online workshop to be on a panel.   I had no expectation of learning, receiving any benefit or solving any issues for myself.

Do you push yourself?  Most of us don’t. I know I don’t. At least not in the domains that are challenging for me.   This is why my clients who have graduated from EOS continue to have me facilitate sessions.

I’m in the midst of creating a one-year program. It’s challenging in the best way.  I’m excited to have the rough draft completed in the next 60 days or so.   As I ideate, read and sort, I’m including everything I can think of.  And then I’ll eliminate.   Living life by design takes intention. Most of us won’t make the time.  We make more time to… View Article

Time to think.  It feels like a luxury, and yet, it’s where you can solve the toughest of situations.   When you create space, the space reveals what you need to create.   When searching for a resolution to “too many” great opportunities, clarity on what to say “no” to and what aligns with my vision for the future,… View Article
