The Sandwich Generation
I was recently made aware of a demographic that I feel requires a spotlight. There is a segment of the population that is made up of persons 40-50 years old who are parents with either a minor child or an adult child. The additional aspect of the scenario is the fact that these people areContinue reading “The Sandwich Generation”
Why Hire A Life Coach?
As a life coach I get the overwhelming impression that many people think of hiring a life coach as something wealthy people took advantage of. That may be because most of us were introduced to life coaches by folks we watched either on television or on the big screen.

Tis the Season.
Over the years I have come to realize how important it is to align myself with seasonal occurrences and changes as a means of facilitating the goal pursuit-goal attainment process.

Meaningful Movement: taking queues from the worlds around us
When I think of movement, I can’t help but to reflect on a conversation that I had with my father many, many years ago. Thankfully my Dad was a big science geek and he was very well read on many topics. My Dad and I would talk for hours-well he would talk, I would listenContinue reading “Meaningful Movement: taking queues from the worlds around us”

Hemorrhaging Because Of A Lack Of Boundaries
One of the things that I have found critical in the setting and pursuit of goals is exercising boundary setting and maintenance efforts. The two are a readymade set like a knife and a fork. Or, a cup and a saucer. The experience is incomplete if you possess only one and not the other. WeContinue reading “Hemorrhaging Because Of A Lack Of Boundaries”
