Starting Anew Is a Frightening Thing. Here’s how to have some faith. When you have a passion for something then it is authentic. When something is authentic people ‘get’ that authenticity. It doesn’t matter if you communicate by email or smoke signals, in person or by pigeon, the person on the receiving end of your communication […]

The first difficulty is feeling the need for change at all. Usually it is either extreme boredom or discomfort that leads us to even consider change, […]
What amazes me when working with clients is how very blind they can be regarding owning their skills, capabilities and general brilliances.
