For the past 5 years, I’ve been studying with and learning from Julie Gleason. She’s given me the gift of how to assess the unique design of my clients. Each individual has a unique gift and purpose, and I love to uncover what it is that my clients are here to do on this planet. It’s a sacred and powerful uncovering act.

Do you know whether you have an open or closed mind? Can you tell?Do you have the awareness to know whether you are open or closed? If your mind is closed, your life sucks. It’s boring, dull, uninteresting & frustrating. When you have a closed mind, nothing goes in the right direction and you have to figure it all out.

Clarity is a superpower. It’s also our birthright. We all have different degrees of clarity. I can think I’m clear, and then see things even clearer. What distorts my clarity is my thinking and how I automatically perceive things. Clarity is a feeling. Clarity gives us a knowingness which is different from thinking or figuring something out.

In my practice as a business coach, I see the following three trends that keep people in a stuck phase in their careers: The client wants to do something, but they are scared to do it. They want newness and change but they don’t know what exactly it will look like or how to go about doing it. The client keeps trying things to make a change and nothing ends up working out.

Recently I made a new friend, Sandra Koenig. We were struck by how easily each of us listened to the other, and the profoundness of what it’s like to be heard. Both of us are coaches and we realized that it’s very unusual to really be listened to. When someone is really listening to you, there is nothing on their mind. Just an open heart, and no agenda.

A lot of people come to me because they are stuck in their career and they think that there’s something wrong with where they are. It’s kind of like having an orange, but thinking it should be a lemon. And being pissed off and upset that you don't have a lemon. A lot of the people that come to me think there is something wrong with the current career situation they are in.
