Everyone thinks yoga is about flexibility
I help you create balance. I teach you how to get what you want from life.
Evaluating your own initiatives and processes
Question: “You’re trying something new. How long do you give it, and how do you know when to pull the plug? What is the information you’re looking for to see if it’s successful? And how do you pull the plug so people don’t have hurt feelings?”
What my answer.
“No, I just love to practice, I don’t want to teach!”
Yoga is the practice of experiencing being human. Of being aware of being a human.
It is taking time each day to observe what it’s actually like:
To have a body that senses,
and feels.
And a mind that chatters,
and makes stuff up.
Why can’t I have that kind of ____?
When you have an "I wish" moment, ask: "What would it feel like if I did have it?"
What if you could look back a year from now, and be surprised by how much had changed?
What is the wildest thing you’d hope to change about your life in the next year?
Defining your ideal is 1/3 the work
Keeping that crystal clear vision top of mind primes your brain to look for what you want.
Opportunities come our way all the time. But we only notice what we’re already focused on.
It's not therapy. It's not consulting.
We examine the stories you’ve been telling yourself—
Identify the limiting beliefs keeping you stuck —
Explore new ways of thinking —
That lead to more aligned behaviors —
And a truer, more authentic and intentional version of you.
A version that acts boldly and decides confidently—knowing those choices are grounded in values and reason, rather than emotion.
Vision, Trust, Milestones: What phase are you in?
What phase are you in?
Which do you most want coaching for?
On sharing our faith
My personal translation practice
When I hear "God," I think of something like the pervading quality, or source and connection of everything, and “the universe” seems to describe this expansiveness.
When someone says “Savior," I replace it with “hope.”
"Heavenly Father" makes me think of that inner wisdom we tune into when we meditate, pray, or reach toward our highest selves. For me, the term “consciousness” feels the most universal.
When there’s a reference to the “Power of God" I think of “love,” which is the greatest power I can imagine.
Circumstances are never ideal
It is in the process of finding our way to thrive where we are, that we change our circumstances to allow us to thrive even more.
Align metrics to business objectives
Two critical metrics to align:
Your customer’s success metrics to the buyer’s budget.
Your team’s success metrics to your company’s goals.
People think the goal of meditation is to remove all thoughts from your mind
You can’t control the thoughts that come to your mind any more than the clouds that show up in the sky.
Between stimulus and response there is a space.
Meditation is a practice that can widen that tiny space.
