The Voice in your Head
Sound familiar? Yes this is the constant companion we have in our heads that keeps up a never-ending monologue telling us we are not good enough and that we do not matter.
Authenticity
The world needs us to be the REAL version of us, not some version of what we think the world needs or wants. The world needs our uniqueness not a weak copy of us trying to be someone else.

Greatness
We have a unique and special potential within us. No one else has our potential. We are each meant to find and use that greatness in the world. When we do that we answer the calling for our life and live our purpose. When we live our purpose we feel the flow in our lives […]
Abundance
We live in an abundant world where there is enough for everyone. I like to think of it as standing at the ocean which represents abundance. Is there a lack of abundance in your life? Look down and see what it is that you have brought with you to receive that abundance. Do you have […]
Do you have monsters under your boardroom table?
No?
Really?
What about that Division that used to consistently deliver but their results are slipping?
Or the Executive who you suspect may have way more potential than they are displaying?
Or the employees who pitch at work, but you suspect are not really there?
