Do Positive Affirmations Set Off Your BS Alarm?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Have you ever been told to just adopt a positive attitude?
Practice positive affirmations?
Shift your thinking to a new, more empowering belief?
If so, how did that work for you?
If you’re anything like me, you tried to think positive thoughts and adopt more productive beliefs but it was only through sheer force of will that you managed [...]

Anchor Your Efforts in Confidence

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Are you as confident as you’d like to be? I mean REAL confidence at your core, where you feel fully comfortable in your own skin. It has nothing to do with what you are doing…it transcends that. The truth is that wherever you go, there you are. If you do not feel fully [...]

Hiring a Personal Trainer – Confidence Builder or Killer?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

So last week I joined a new gym and this week I hired a personal trainer.  Yes it shocked even me.  Not because it’s not my thing, but because I am already a  consistent, disciplined exerciser.  I love to exercise and am a 5-6 day a week person (or more) consistently, all the time, rain [...]

Do you feel intimidated in the face of powerful clients or big money?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

This weekend I had the privilege of speaking at the Bucks County Day for All Women event on the topic of Self Care as a Priority to Succeed.  You see, we blow off self-care as being unimportant but that is like saying the foundation of your building doesn’t matter.  Eventually it’ll leave you in the [...]

What the Statue of Liberty Teaches Us About Confidence

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Recently I had the privilege of visiting the Statue of Liberty for the first time.  I thought it would be fun, but I wasn’t expecting to be so viscerally moved by Lady Liberty.  As I listened to the history behind her I realized that she has a lot to teach us about confidence, self-esteem, and [...]

What Do You Stand For?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the National Historic Park for Women’s Rights in Seneca Falls, NY.  Here we are standing next to the Declaration of Sentiments monument.
It was an inspiring few hours there.  To be in the space and energy of what women throughout history have done to stand up for [...]
