Want Your Best Year?
Do This ONE Thing
When I coach nurses in the Well-Being Coaching Initiative, I don’t advise, tell, or prescribe what to do to take care of themselves. They already know what they need to do, and so do you. The challenge is actually doing it and requires one thing and that is to prioritize—specifically, prioritize yourself. You already make…

One of my commitments to myself this year was getting to the gym to lift weights 3 times a week. My husband and I established a routine of going first thing in the morning on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and it was working.

I had a realization last month when I was planning to send my book to my editor. I opened up the manuscript to review one more time before sending and found it was not in the condition I remembered, in fact, I was sure there must be a more recent version! Apparently, I had been…

Last weekend we hosted our post-Bali Retreat party 3 months after our trip. It was great to catch up with everyone and hear about their past adventures and future ones.

A recent Gallup poll revealed a staggering 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged at work today. This is not surprising when you observe how often we are distracted and overwhelmed with information. Many of us have lost our presence, purpose and engagement in our work and our lives.
