Goals: Overrated or Necessary
As someone who coaches people to help them make positive changes in their lives, it may seem curious that I am lukewarm regarding the subject of goals, goal setting and even, ‘goal tending.’ Not all goals are good, even when created from a place of sincerity. Some goals, in fact, can hinder our forward progress simply because they miss the
The Birthday Lesson
I am in Vancouver, BC, traveling with two dear friends to celebrate my 60th birthday.

Do you ever feel you’re not moving forward, having a hard time making decisions or simply feel low level anxiety because you’re not exactly where you want to be in life. T School Coach Tricia Collins and I were discussing this feeling on a recent walk together. We shared how we each deal with the “dirty middle” and how, these
Why I went to Rehab for my Summer Vacation
