Going Inward (or Outward)?

I feel like the "push me pull you" animal from Dr. Doolittle's world today. I have a deep desire to be introspective, reflective and go inward today as I review 2009, think about what I learned over the past year and begin to open up to 2010…

What’s Your Mantra?

A couple of week ago I was coaching two entrepreneurs in my office, one after the other, around issues related to owning their power, growing their business and experiencing more balance in their lives. (I do very little one-on-one coaching…

Mindfulness

All last week I started my mornings walking around the Town Lake hike and bike trail in Austin, alone. Being such an extrovert, I typically walk with a partner and use this early morning time for walk/talk meetings or rare windows to connect…

Interconnected

I was raised by parents who felt strongly about serving and giving to others, whether that be taking kids from the local orphanage out with us on Sunday family outings, generously supporting a family in our church community whose house had burned…

People

I love meeting, learning about, listening to, watching and studying people. I think the human experience is fascinating. My husband and son and I attended an amazing arts festival in San Antonio, TX yesterday set on the grounds of a 150-year…

Compassion

Things feel very much like they did post-911 right now (at least career-wise). My clients, friends and men and women I meet through public speaking engagements, seem to feel less sure, less grounded and fearful (if not anxious) about the road…
