During our uncertain and ever-changing times, I am grateful for movies on demand or on DVD, especially the ones where the good guys like Captain America win! Is everyone familiar with Captain America? He is a WWII experiment to create the ultimate solider: he’s super strong, incredibly fast, and indestructible. In the first movie, he […]
Handling Crucial Conversations with EQ
Back in September of 2001, authors Joseph Grenny, Al Switzler, and Ron McMillan released their book, Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When the Stakes are High. Not in a million years would they have predicted what would happen about the same time as their book launched. Perhaps it was Devine providence or just luck, but […]

YOUR HEALTH I don’t know about you, but I cannot function without a good night’s rest. The National Sleep Foundation continues to discover the importance of restorative sleep at all ages, and they recommend 7 to 9 hours a night pretty much from our teens on. Are you getting your zzzz’s? If you aren’t, you […]
Tackle Time Traps and Get More Done in Less Time!
With over 20 years’ experience as a coach under my belt, I have helped many people get out of their time traps – those things that stop us dead in our tracks and prevent us from moving forward. The types of traps vary from person to person, but one thing remains true: they are real. […]
Applying EQ in the Workplace
Through time, encouragement has often been the difference between success and failure and hope and hopelessness. As we enter another season of mud-slinging ad campaign, I think we could all use a little encouragement, don’t you? Encouragement: giving hope or promise; to inspire with courage, spirit and hope (Merriam-Webster). Many songs, books and ad slogans […]
Good Communication Requires Listening
I recently heard Eric Maddox speak. He’s the man who gathered the intel that ultimately led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. If you want to read the entire account, you can get his book: https://ericmaddox.com/mission-black-list-1/ In a nutshell, he approached interrogation very differently from his counterparts. He opted to build trust with detainees by […]
Manners Still Matter: Be the Change!
The political ads have started and so has the mud-slinging. I’m sick of it already, and the election isn’t until November. Good gravy! What has happened? Road rage, bullying, shaming, name calling, hate…it’s all ugly, and it has to stop. I think we have become lazy. Technology has permitted us to throw abbreviated words and […]

YOUR HEALTH As we enter the second month of the new year, we are right in the midst of cold and flu season. The CDC has been reporting one of the worst outbreaks, making it even more important for us to do the right things to avoid getting sick. First and foremost, we must understand […]
Know Your Why and Purpose
Back in 1997, I started offering consulting services and created my business not out of a desire but out of obedience. I had just gone through a nasty divorce and had nothing emotionally or financially left. I sought the security of a job, but God told me no. He made it very clear to me […]
Defy Your Diagnosis & Overcome Any Obstacle
Here we are at the beginning of yet another new year. Some have great anticipation and excitement for what might be, but many others are weighted down with what has been: they have been told they aren’t enough; have listened to negative voices; have experienced painful relationship breakups; have been diagnosed with a disease; deal […]
