Recently I watched a clip of a tennis match on LinkedIn. I re-shared the clip because it was an amazing display of not giving up, giving in, or quitting. I watched it over and over because I thought it was unbelievable how the one player kept the other player (I believe it was Andy Roddick) […]

This morning as I was practicing my yoga, I was reminded that balance is all about recovery. I would also add before you practice recovery, you need to know what balance looks like for you. Balance is not a 50/50 proposition, especially in Real Estate! For me, balance has more to do with showing up […]

My happy place is very specific-the Colorado Rockies. I lived in Colorado for a short 3-year period as a youth and try to get back as often as I can. This trip I had the opportunity to spend 8 wonderful days hiking and taking in the Colorado Rockies. The trip was amazing and caused me […]

The breakdown allows for a breakthrough in coming up with solutions. Years ago coaching gymnastics, when a gymnast was struggling with […]

Not long ago, I was lost in deep thought while sitting in my yard and pulling weeds, when I witnessed an incident that reflected creating culture. Two kids from the neighborhood, one about 7 and the other probably around 6, were riding bikes up and down the sidewalk. I noticed their easy conversation and ability […]

“Being with imbalance allows for balance.” Wait, what? How can being with imbalance allow balance? That’s a paradox! Yes, it is, and like most things that begin at odds with each other, when you get to the midpoint between the two, they are more alike than different. One of the most sought-after balances is work/life […]

Some people are more risk averse than others. I think I’m middle of the road. I’ve taken risks most of my life, some small, some not so small. Behind all the risks I’ve taken is a deep motivation for change, for knowing or feeling that a change is needed. There have also been times when […]

Don’t you wish sometimes you could get a notification letting you know it’s time for a system update on YOU? Or that you could get all the current ‘fixes’ for the bugs that get in the way of fulfilled living? Or a security update to protect YOU from being vulnerable to hackers, viruses and threats; […]
