I feel STUCK!
I was helping one of my clients work through a new plan of action for transitioning out of one area of her livelihood and into another. During the course of the first strategy session she said, "I feel stuck Lisa." If you feel stuck then you are stuck. However, that's...
What are others saying about your character?
Character still counts and how you show up in what you do and how you do it, matters. Our recent experience of home renovations has been difficult, to say the least. We used a company we used a few years ago to work in another area of our home. Sadly, the experience...
Manage expectations. Don’t ask why they left. Ask what you can do to enhance the experience
Whether it's a company, a church, a social media group and anything that is being led or managed by someone, people get upset when someone leaves. The immediate reaction is Why did you leave? What happened? Is it too much for you? Did I do something to offend you?...
Get your sanity back!
To keep your sanity sometimes you have to say No. It's not personal. It's wisdom! I shared this on my private profile page on Facebook and in no time there were 41 likes and counting! Why? Because we all relate to this! We can all feel a little insane at times with...

There's a saying on social media especially on Facebook, if you're not engaging in a group to the degree of others you are labeled a lurker. Now, in some cases there are people who join every group, add friend to every page, click the follow button, and get...

Change that stinky thinking
You wouldn't keep stinky garbage in your home, right? Well, throw out every stinky, negative thought about WHO YOU ARE! Yes, you've made mistakes. Yes, you've not reached all of your goals. We all can say that. We can learn from it so that we can move forward....
What do you want your LIFE to look like this time next year?

Why it’s important to assess your YEAR with truth and grace
Her words rung out during our client call: I don't want to even think about the year. I just want it to end so that I can start over for 2018! As her personal coach, we had some work to do to help her to assess her year with truth and grace. Life is a mixture of joys...
