"Find Me a Career, immediately". When I hear those words I know intuitively that someone is pushing, and not respecting the need for rest and reflection. Once again my beloved husband has found a scientific study to prove the work we are doing about the need to rest and reflect! The link below, from Eurekalert, is [...]
Coaching Tip: My friend, who had just made a whopper of a mistake, said to me "I hate myself for being imperfect." How often I hear this from clients, friends and family. The irony is that it is the imperfections that make us perfect and unique individuals. If instead of rejecting ourselves, we viewed our [...]
Career opportunities often start with making the work you might already be doing the very best you can. I recently sold a car that had been sitting for more than a year. The company who repaired it, Randy's Mobile in Concord, CA, not only smogged and repaired it, but they washed it inside and out [...]

It's ironic that while nature has created a multitude of amazing shapes, patterns, tastes, scents, colors, paths and directions, we humans got stuck thinking we had to walk in one particular "straight ahead" direction. Most of our suffering at work comes from thinking we have to look and act only one way. The question for [...]
How many times have we stayed in relationships we knew were over? Or how often have we stayed at jobs we outgrew and no longer found satisfying? We often cling to what we have outgrown, like a person on the ledge of a burning building, afraid to stay, afraid to let go. It is resistance [...]
The Study above is very indicative of the transition from overwhelm to centered and effective work. Vermont is finally beginning to be interested in studying things that will show how the state is doing overall, not just in buying and selling stuff. Worth reading!
Sherry and I are on the home stretch of marketing and publishing our first book, Inside Job: 8 Secrets to Loving Your Work and Thriving, and we suddenly noticed we were not having much fun. Red alert! We need to stop and breathe, and orchestrate this in OUR way, not in someone else's way. My [...]
