I discovered an amazing teacher that has taught me to look at how I view the world and how I engage every aspect of it. Now, like most of my learning, the lessons I learn rarely become evident as my teacher is speaking, but rather after I have had time to process what I have […]
Make a Difference
When I was a kid I was exposed to the following story by Loren Eiseley. I remember it as a lesson in the importance of character. I also remember learning the value of doing what is right, not because someone is watching or to be recognized, but rather to do what is right because it […]
Tell ’em What You Want – Expectations
Tell ’em What You Want, What you Really Really Want A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though awakens your own expectations. ~Patricia Neal I have had several discussions in the past week regarding communicating expectations.

Big Questions
Building Awareness I speak frequently about awareness of knowing where you are right now. As a coach I am frequently asked to help people get where they want to go. I often say coaching is a lot like a good map or a GPS. It can show the route, but you must do the work […]

As your coach through this journey I suggest you get a Success Journal. A journal where you can write your goals and your progress of these goals on a daily basis. […]
How to get started
Getting Started Last night I attended a Boulder Entrepreneurs Meetup group and we spoke about blogging. It made me realize how delinquent I have been. I have been writing down new ideas in my journal about topics that I want to blog about, but have not been developing them here. So I am doing it […]
