That’s Not Working For Me We were in our early 30’s and putting in long hours at work. My friend Monica and I were determined to do something healthy and decided to become walking buddies. The fact that we lived in adjacent condominiums made it easy to coordinate walks at the spur of the moment. […]
Time to Regroup During a recent conversation with my Connecticut mastermind group,1 one of my coach friends described having several potential opportunities in play. Investing her time and energy in multiple directions was making her feel scattered and unfocused.

The Current’s Natural Cycle Movement, momentum, and progress – they’re attractive words. From personal goals to business plans, we want to see that forward movement. Over the last 13 years of coaching people from diverse backgrounds and industries, I’ve detected a natural cycle through which we move constantly.
My Sense of Direction “I don’t really need the GPS for this trip but I’ll plug it in just in case.” My mother-in-law, Sandi is quite familiar with the predictable explanation I typically offer as we buckle up our seat belts. She gives me a knowing smile and has no issue should a broken U-turn […]
