Redesign Your Life

I was speaking with a client the other day, and she was overwhelmed. She said she comes home from work, and her mind is still racing with news headlines, work overload, and day-to-day tasks.

If You Vision It, It Will Come

If one more loon tells me they have a vision board, I might lose it. Everyone and their best friend’s brother has one, it seems. Umm. Including me. I signed up for a visioning workshop this past weekend put on by Kristina Leonardi, one of my favorite career coaches. I’m guilty; I’ll admit I like the [...]

What if Success is Measured by Happiness?

How do you determine success? I assume we overwhelmingly qualify it in terms of income or materialistic value as I have never heard someone define another’s success by their happiness –a component I believe to be the fundamental element of success. I have met many wildly financially “successful” men and women whom seem to have [...]

What if we all had a little Paris in Us?

Can anyone tell me why Paris Hilton is famous?  Crazy, over-the-top, Beatles-esque famous. How did a scantly-known socialite heiress with seemingly no career other than being at the best parties become an icon of an entire generation; changing the rules of fame and celebrity along the way? The answer is simple yet profound.  To fully [...]

Laughing Your Way Through This Financial Crisis

There’s a famous expression: “It only hurts when I laugh.” I’m a believer it should be rewritten: “It only hurts when I can’t laugh.” For me laughter is the best therapy for difficult times. Laughter lightens up my emotional load-then swoops in as “enlightenment aid”– helping me to see ways out of supposedly blocked situations. [...]

That’s right.  According to many independent studies conducted by some of the world’s most influential and progressive nations, it’s our personal relationships (not overall financial prosperity) that have the most profound effect on our happiness.
