Addilynn and Alexander were thrilled when their parents got them a fabulous swing set with a climbing wall! What could be better? I know in a matter of weeks Alexander will be doing this by himself. But, for right now, he needs a little help. Have you ever felt that way in your life or business? […]

I had a coaching client tell me yesterday she was going to put her head down (figuratively) and focus on a project. This made perfect sense as she was wanting to avoid distractions. After thinking about it, though, I told her to look up instead. Just the term ‘put my head down’ causes a […]
