ABC’s Not So Easy
Contrary to the Jackson Five song that states, “it’s as easy as ABC,” I’m not sure ABC is so easy after all. One of the ways I analyze individuals, groups and organizations in my change catalyst work is through my ABCD™ Model. In this Model, A=Alignment and Balance, B= Boundaries and Connections, C=Clarity, and D=Discernment. So, for example, with a coaching client, I help them examine whether they are living in alignment with their life purpose. A life purpose is what gives meaning to your life. When you know Read more
Mindless vs. Mindful
Why are we so attracted to being mindless? Today’s technology has made it easier and easier for us to remain completely mindless. Walking down the street on the way to the subway station. Why allow my mind to have some quiet time to reflect when I can send an email or make a quick phone call? Sitting in a waiting room waiting for a doctor or a client meeting. Why allow my Read more

It’s What We Don’t Talk About

Being Vulnerable = Strength and Courage
Many of us have been taught a dysfunctional view of what it means to be strong and courageous. We teach our boys that being strong means never crying and never acknowledging their feelings – with the exception of anger, of course. “Real men” don’t cry or show pain. They are supposed to appear strong, rather than vulnerable Read more
What is True Courage?
There are different ways of viewing “courage.” To some, courage is appearing fearless, strong and invincible when faced with conflict.
