    In addition to learning that I’m not always right, that it is important to stay healthy, and that loneliness is a scourge on our society, there’s another thing that I have learned along the way: In many, if not most, cases more words is better than less words. It should be obvious that more words…

    There is something that I’ve learned along the way that bears re-learning. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am reminded of this on a regular basis.

    I’m sure that, through the years of your life, you have looked forward to something. Graduation? College? Maybe your wedding day, or the birth of your first child.

    In many relationships there comes a time when believability becomes an issue. Someone has been hurt. Someone has lied. Someone has been manipulative. Someone feels cheated. The circumstances which can lead to the believability crisis can vary widely. In any case the crisis revolves around trust. As I counsel, the theme of trust is frequently…

    How would you define motivation? Being inspired to get something done? Incentive? Stimulus?  How about something a little simpler, like “want-to”? It has been my experience that unless I really want to do something all the attempts at motivation ring hollow. This has been true when it is self-motivation, but even more so when it…

    Have you ever noticed how people in various professions often have a wall filled with their licenses, certifications, degrees and diplomas? It makes sense when you think about it. It is important that their clients, or customers, know that the person providing a service is trained and qualified. I am sure that you would agree…

    We’re already weeks into the new year. I commented just recently that it always surprises me when I am booking clients and we’re looking at another month gone by! I have clients booked months ahead in this new year. Whew! Time flies! So, how is your new year so far? In my last post I…
