We all have personal growth areas where we want to improve; health, work, family, you name it. But reality sets in along with a busy schedule that doesn’t leave any space for quiet time, let alone individual development. We also rarely have the willpower we need to see it through.

Managing Change
In any time of crisis or disruption, we have the opportunity to start fresh and create a new normal. This is however much easier said than done.

I feel like I’ve been in a time warp the past few years.  I know as you get older, time goes by more quickly, but seriously?! I made the decision to return to school five years ago to answer a question that had been nagging me for years.  Some people are able to overcome difficulties...

Work-Life Balance
Do you know what happens when you put yourself on the back burner? You burn! If you’re burned out from taking care of everyone and everything else, now is the time to invest in yourself.

There have to be endings to create new beginnings. An old year ends and a new year begins, full of promises of change and new experiences. Mitch Albom, author of “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” wrote: “All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.” Some of my clients...
