Do you know your values and what you stand for?

It’s a question I ask myself often.

How about you?

Knowing your values and what you stand for helps you make the right choices and decisions.

We all have the desire to excel in achieving the outcomes we strive for. When you lead a team, you have additional responsibilities, not only in your success, but you are a critical piece of your team members’ success. As a member of a team, I always said that my job was to make my boss look good. W...

I was having a discussion with a friend this week and we were talking about how she is always willing to lend a hand and help other people. I asked her; “do you feel you’re a people pleaser”? She didn’t feel like she was and when I thought about our discussion, I realized there is a distinction to b...

I have had to learn a lot about myself in the last few months. I have spent most of my time exploring my values and what it means to be wearing this new entrepreneurial hat. The biggest shift I have had to make has been with self-direction. After 30 years of being told what my priorities are, it was...

Do you get angry when people say certain things and lash out? Do you feel frustrated when things don’t go your way? Do you dwell on the negative emotions and struggle to find a way out?

I spoke with a young lady this week who has a habit of letting her emotions get in the way and who struggles with...

Showing up with integrity. What does that mean? When I think about how I lead my life, it’s all about doing what is right versus doing what is convenient. While I endeavor to live in integrity, last night was a perfect example of not living in integrity.

I’ve been striving to get in the best health...

It has been 8 months since I left my corporate job to launch my coaching business. I was first certified in 2016 and had been trying to “work my side gig” while still working full time but, the demands of the job made it very difficult to make significant headway. I took the plunge after a friend of...

The last few months have been a time of growth. When I left my corporate job to build my coaching business in January, I took 3 months to deal not only with some health challenges, but also to take some time off to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Fast forward to today and...

This past week, I turned 52 and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Did I want to celebrate, or did I want to let it be just another day and double down on work? I am after all, in the middle of trying to build a coaching business. Could I afford to take the time for myself? And if I did, would I enj...

Dana Lynn Bailey said “If you have Discipline, Drive and Determination, nothing is impossible”. In the past couple of weeks, we covered both Determination and Discipline.

Determination is having a firmness of purpose. It is knowing what you want to accomplish and being single focused in reaching th...

Last week I talked about determination being one of the 3 Ds to success. Today, I want to talk about discipline. Having discipline means working when you don't feel like it, doing the hard things you know will move the needle and acting not with your desire for immediate gratification in mind, but t...

Today I want to talk about determination. It’s not an exaggeration to say that determination is one of the most important qualities you can possess if you want to succeed in life and business. Early in my corporate career, I worked in a team of high performing individuals. At the time, I was having ...
