Emotional and financial health. Letting go of stress
Your financial health is often linked closely to your sense of self-worth and social positioning. Social economics and how one perceives their status in society is often an underlying emotional trigger waiting to go off. Maybe you have lost a job, a loved one, social connections, or just can’t find your mojo. When things get out of control, physical systems of the body tell us we need to take life a little easier. We need to relax, let the tension go out of our shoulders, and lose the worry wrinkles in our foreheads. Just breathe. Stress can take a toll quickly. Stress can take a toll quickly The thought of…
Life and writing – beautiful metaphors.
Life and writing – beautiful metaphors. I wholeheartedly enjoy the ability to write and create my own materials in any situation I find myself in. Sure, I can write for the other guy, but when it’s just for my own pleasure, I like to give myself the opportunity to research and design materials based on my own creative needs, my own passions. The same holds true for those of us who present to live audiences. The same holds true for those of us who present in person, to live audiences; like teachers, lecturers, and public personalities, etc. It doesn’t matter which field you may be presenting on – all that really matters is that…
What battles should we fight
What battles should we fight, and can we bring duct tape? Dedicated to my class, who asked the question “What battles should we fight, and can we bring duct tape?” We have all been there.

Interview – Looks nice, has an “X” account
The Interview – Looks nice, has an “X” account. For many who have been working professionals for most of their lives, it is often anticipated with some anxiety that those interviewing them may not know how to interview them. When you go into an interview, and in two quick responses, you have pretty much summed up the entire list of questions the interviewer had prepared, you quickly are able to gauge the aptitude of that business or organization.

Put Your Busy Bully On Notice
Put Your Busy Bully On Notice Nearly every office has one, that person who, for some reason, keeps things stirred up. Whether it is a need for power or control, who knows? What they manage to do is have others begin to doubt their own skills and abilities. I like to think of these individuals as passive-aggressive bullies, or my own naming convention of “The Busy Bully”. They don’t come right out and say something to another person in the office; rather, they are busy gossiping or hinting around to others that “they know a secret”.
