Do you get angry when people say certain things and lash out? Do you feel frustrated when things don’t go your way? Do you dwell on the negative emotions and struggle to find a way out?

I spoke with a young lady this week who has a habit of letting her emotions get in the way and who...

Showing up with integrity. What does that mean? When I think about how I lead my life, it’s all about doing what is right versus doing what is convenient. While I endeavor to live in integrity, last night was a perfect example of not living in integrity.

I’ve been striving to get in...

It has been 8 months since I left my corporate job to launch my coaching business. I was first certified in 2016 and had been trying to “work my side gig” while still working full time but, the demands of the job made it very difficult to make significant headway. I took the plunge...

The last few months have been a time of growth. When I left my corporate job to build my coaching business in January, I took 3 months to deal not only with some health challenges, but also to take some time off to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Fast forward to today...

This past week, I turned 52 and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Did I want to celebrate, or did I want to let it be just another day and double down on work? I am after all, in the middle of trying to build a coaching business. Could I afford to take the time for myself? And if I did,...

Dana Lynn Bailey said “If you have Discipline, Drive and Determination, nothing is impossible”. In the past couple of weeks, we covered both Determination and Discipline.

Last week I talked about determination being one of the 3 Ds to success. Today, I want to talk about discipline. Having discipline means working when you don't feel like it, doing the hard things you know will move the needle and acting not with your desire for immediate gratification in mind,...

Today I want to talk about determination. It’s not an exaggeration to say that determination is one of the most important qualities you can possess if you want to succeed in life and business. Early in my corporate career, I worked in a team of high performing individuals. At the time, I...

I have moved from one place to another my whole life. I’ve lived on 4 of the 7 continents and 9 countries. Anytime you move, it’s jarring to the system. As a kid of age to remember the experience, it felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was losing all my friends, my...

Self-Care has never been more important than since the onset of COVID. In March of 2020, COVID started sweeping through the US and we found ourselves in a new, surreal world. Most of us working from home, many having to juggle homeschooling and work. The days got longer and longer, with people...

I never saw myself as a courageous person, but as I began writing this blog, I started reflecting on some of the things I’ve done over the course of the last few years and realized that I AM courageous. Funny enough, I seem to be more courageous in doing big things than little things. Some...

I have always loved traveling and living in different countries. It is incredibly enriching and rewarding and an opportunity to learn about other cultures and about yourself. So, when I was offered the opportunity to work in Shanghai, I was thrilled! At the same time, I was scared to death!...
