A Successful Life Begins with Balance

We must be balanced to succeed

  This past Saturday, I just gave a presentation called Breathe, Balance, and Boundaries to the women of North Valley Church were I attend. What a lovely event spent on infusing hope, inspiring change, and igniting transformation! I wanted to touch on the importance of living a balanced life while at the same time highlighting […]

How to Receive Constructive Feedback

Tips for receiving feedback

None of us is perfect, and we all could improve. At our best, we are open to honest, constructive feedback. Unfortunately, our egos and insecurities can get in the way, preventing us from a growth opportunity. We each have different temperaments, and receiving feedback can be difficult for some, especially when unsolicited. The older I […]

Words are Not Action

Do what you say

As a human behavior specialist, I understand some people are more likely to exaggerate than others because they are people-oriented and outgoing (high I’s if you are familiar with DISC). These highly social types often speak before they think, and they will promise something and proceed to forget about it. In time, they will lose […]

You Might Want to Sleep On It

Don’t react from an emotional state. Instead, take a step back and respond.

What We Don’t Use, We Lose

Be sure to engage in conversation daily

  For years, I’ve been encouraging people to stay healthy and fit because if we don’t use our heart, muscles, and core strength, we will lose it. Simple, every-day-tasks can become problematic if we lose our physical health. The same rings true for our mental health, and I fear between technology and COVID, we may […]

Forgiveness Formula

Relationships need forgivenesss

  God may have created us in His image, but we are flawed beings. Until He returns, we are imperfect, and we will make mistakes. One of the biggest blunders we will commit is hurting each other, thus the need for forgiveness. Forgiveness is a two-sided coin and involves the person who caused the harm […]

Conflict Takes Two

Know when to walk away

  I’ve been fascinated by the limited-series television show called, Waco, starring Michael Shannon as the FBI negotiator and Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh, the cult leader. The show is based upon two books: one by the FBI negotiator Gary, and another by one of the few survivors. Between the two accounts, you get a […]

The Power of a Simple Pause

Think before you speak

As a coach and someone who trains on communication, I’ve been preaching the power of the pause for a long time. I am an outgoing person, and in trainings, I often illustrate a pause by sipping on my straw. You see, outgoing people can often speak before they think. When a straw is in my […]

HR and recruiting with Concept One

  YOUR HEALTH As you may or may not know, I teach yoga a couple times a week. I tell students we will stretch, strengthen, and stabilize every class. Most importantly, we will practice proper breathing. Once the doors close, we concentrate on inhaling deeply and exhaling out completely. It takes work because most people […]
