I love hiking! Last summer I hiked a number of trails in Colorado. My favorite, although hard to choose, was the American Trail outside of Aspen. Aspen forests, pine forests, open prairie, rock terrain, this trail had it all and climaxed at the top with a beautifully serene aquamarine lake. The hike was about 6 […]

Three simple words. They carry a message of; I care, I see you, I’m acknowledging the importance of our relationship. In the coaching world, we are taught to ‘check in’ periodically in the coaching session as well as throughout the coaching engagement to make sure that we are working toward what the client wants.

Is your culture in survival mode? Everyone is just ‘getting through’ the work relationships because the idea of creating a culture shift is just too overwhelming?

Last month, I shared how: having a positive support system, doing a healthy ‘clearing,’ and seeking wise counsel will support you in moving through a breakdown. Getting to the other side of breakdown is a breakthrough to deeper understanding of yourself or the situation. Even in that awareness and understanding, it may be difficult to […]
