The New Trend Coming in the Job Market

I read some startling statistics yesterday that by the year 2020, it is predicted that more than half of the U.S. workforce will be working in what is being called the "YouEconomy"(Zane Pilzer, 2016). This is the term for those who are taking 'gig's through freelancing sites, several part-time jobs, contracting and the like. For …

An Exercise for Self-Validation and Self-Worth

I just finished an exercise, as homework in a coaching program I'm in, and I must say it was life-changing. I am not sure why this exercise at this particular time was so effective - as I've done them before- but it was. Right now as I'm writing this I feel freer, happier and more …

How do You React to Unplanned Change?

When Is It You and When Is It Chance?

I get really irked when I hear someone diminish themselves, attributing something great they've done to chance, someone else, a higher power, etc. They seriously are not aware that they are the reasons for their success. For example, let's say a client named Jane comes in with good news that she got a new position …

Winding Down and Gearing Up for the Next Challenge

Well, here we are - 4 days away from the  end of the 30-Day Challenge - how has it been for you? Further on your established goal, so that it now feels natural and easy? Progress being made? This is the time to 'pour it on,' as they say, and really finish strong. For myself, …

What High Performers Do on Sunday to Get Ready for the Week Ahead
