Life is a team sport. Whether in your personal or work life, the people you surround yourself with play a crucial role in your success, happiness, and overall well-being.

Is your “why” different than your “purpose”? A quick Google search came up with the following: “While often used interchangeably, 'why' (motivation or reason) and 'purpose' (meaning or reason for being) are distinct concepts. 'Why' focuses on the immediate driver, while 'purpose' delves deeper into the overarching meaning and contribution.”

In today’s fast-paced world, achieving work-life balance can feel like an impossible goal. With responsibilities pulling us in every direction, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters.

We've all been there, staring at a decision so complicated it feels like you're spinning in circles. Uncertainty can be paralyzing. But I always say, “No decision, is a decision.” So how do you break free from mental gridlock?

Have you felt stagnant and in a vicious cycle of effort and disappointment. I felt this way and when I did, I threw myself a good old-fashioned pity party. But I am a person of action and don’t have time or patience to be stuck in the self-imposed pity party.

At its core, purpose is the reason for which something exists. It is the driving force that gives meaning to our actions and decisions. For some, purpose is a calling, a deep-rooted passion that aligns with their natural talents and interests. For others, it may be more general, guiding them in how they contribute to the world.

The difference between people who succeed and those who stay stuck often comes down to one thing: how they see failure.

“Think Big, Start Small, Act Now.”

How might you change your networking strategy and build a stronger, better community?

“Always say ‘yes’ and then say ‘how.’”

Have you heard the term “Quitters Day?” It is the second Friday of January and marks the day most people have given up on their New Year’s resolutions.  Maybe you are a quitter, but you don’t need to stay one. You can restart your New Year’s resolution and be successful.  Here’s how.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It’s a phrase often recited by parents when their children experience the sting of name-calling or teasing. But words do have the power to build up or tear down.

Wherever you find yourself right now, it is time to say “Hello” to 2025. A new year brings new opportunities. How do you plan to embrace them?

You have likely been working hard all year on your goals, whether personal, professional, or business, you don’t want to lose the momentum you have created.

No, not that “butt” (although that might be a subject for another blog)! I am talking about our use of the word “but.”

If you tell yourself something day after day, what you say is what you will become and, what if those words are negative? Think about how limiting this is. What do you not do or achieve as a result of what you say to yourself?

I love holidays! A house filled with family, laughter, special meals, and storytelling. However, I find this time of year stressful, especially so this year as our house is part of a Christmas house tour. If you are like me, let me share how I plan to get through the holidays.

Yesterday I was at a networking event and found myself saying to someone, “I am dragging today.” Later, I was at a board dinner meeting and found that my smile was not as quick as usual, and my energy level was lower than normal. I didn’t think much about it until I woke up this morning feeling the same way. Do you feel this way sometimes? What can you do?

A mental block is an inability to succeed when you have done so before. As challenging as they are, with three steps, it is possible to overcome a mental block. Let me tell you how.

In life, we all face transitions, whether they’re big moves like switching careers, retiring, or relocating. Sometimes we have a big goal but find it difficult to figure out where to start or we may know how to get started but can’t overcome doubts in our abilities. This is where a life coach can be a game-changer.
