…that Dull Your Message and Dampen or even Destroy Your Prospects! I hate to be a party pooper! You know me; I don’t usually focus on the negative. But here’s the thing, I hear a lot of attempts at storytelling that simply don’t work. You know what it’s like, a person starts talking and at [...]
Move it move it!
Can you remember a time when a story moved you? Was it recent? Was it this week or even today? Over the last few months I have been deeply moved by so many personal stories. These were stories of joy, sadness, regret, surprise, love, loss, hatred, revenge and escape. And that’s just to name a [...]
Your Magical Story
We stood in line to wait our turn. There was quite a buzz in the air, so many people from the neighborhood all meeting at the local school. It is Election Day here today. Though I haven’t exactly been inspired by the choice of leaders right now, the democratic process always enthralls me. It’s so [...]
Why are you watching that?
What are you reading? What’s influencing your state of mind? What are you allowing into your life? I was visiting a friend a few months ago. She seemed distracted and not altogether happy. After a little while I asked her what was bothering her? She told me that that morning she had gotten up in a great [...]

When I think about the last few times I made a buying decision (booking tickets for our vacation for example) I definitely asked for other opinions.

The musician makes heavenly sounds that make us laugh and cry. The teacher explains the most difficult concepts and we [...]
Can you disconnect?
Do you have a screen free zone? Do you take time and space to get away, I mean really get away, and disconnect? Can you remember the last time you spent more than 24 hours without checking email, your phone and text messages, Facebook or other internet favorites? It’s hard to believe that this is [...]
Which Wolf?
Do you struggle with optimism, excitement and doubt in your business all at once? Do you wonder why one day you are so positive and then next you’re full of anxiety…maybe it’s a matter of hours, not even days? What do you do to keep the faith? I’d love to share with you this classic [...]
What’s Your ‘Zumba Affect’?
If you’re anything like me, you probably like workshops, opportunities to explore, learn, and think a little differently. I jump at any chance to go and immerse myself and create the chance to grow and expand my knowledge and awareness. Sometimes, it can be really challenging. Several years ago, I attended a one-day workshop with [...]
Did You Cheat?
Has this ever happened to you? You sit down to the computer to write some marketing copy for your latest program or for your website and you are completely blank. You look at the white screen and nothing shows up; not a word that sounds original or interesting. When you finally write something, it reminds [...]
