YOUR HEALTH I always encourage my clients to forgo their weight-loss goals from now to New Year’s. Putting that expectation upon ourselves when the next two months center around food is a recipe for disappointment. This doesn’t mean, however, that we gorge ourselves and go hog-wild. Our focus should be maintaining not only our weight […]
Retain Top Talent with Proper Motivation
Spend any length of time in a leadership or supervisory role, and you quickly realize that the most challenging aspect of your job is people. People are complicated and messy. People come in all shapes, sizes, experience level, educational backgrounds, and they bring with them their own baggage. Yet, you are tasked to develop, nurture, […]
Recruiting the Right Way
I have always enjoyed networking and have recruiter folks all my life. Even in an ultra-competitive industry like book publishing, I prided myself on bringing people together. If I new of an open position, I would contact a candidate and make an introduction. If two businesses had needs that could be met by one another, […]
The Importance of Mentorship as Learned by Loretta Lynn
Want to know the importance of mentorship? Just ask Loretta Lynn. I recently watched the Lifetime Channel movie Patsy and Loretta (https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/patsy-and-loretta) I’ve always been a Patsy Cline fan as she had a unique sound that seemed to come from deep inside of her.

Why You Need a Coach

YOUR HEALTH Our feet carry us wherever we want to go. We often take them for granted until they hurt, and when our feet hurt, we aren’t happy campers. In my 20s, I got frost bite up to my ankles from ice fishing. I’m lucky the only consequence was collapsed arches, but I’ve been dealing […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have trained with me or attended any of my fitness classes, you know I am a water Nazi.

YOUR HEALTH Inflammation continues to rise to the top of the list for causing diseases. When in balance, inflammation is an essential immune response within the human body. Its role is to limit physical damage from illness or injury by responding to invaders like viruses, bacterial infections, toxins, and something as simple as a splinter. […]

YOUR HEALTH When I was younger, I was addicted to cardio classes. I loved the adrenaline rush and burn. The harder the class, the more fun. As I got older, however, I learned the importance of weight-bearing exercise. Like many women, I was afraid I would bulk out and that wasn’t the look I […]
