Making the world kinder by helping the kind to be more influential
That is the background motivation for the work I do.
I have another one: working with people I enjoy, respect and truly understand.
Many business people and entrepreneurs are “kind” and I love to interact with all of them. I have a special understanding of the gifts and challenges of those who are either introverts, intuitive, reserved, [...]
A magical dose of beauty and wonder
I don’t know about you, but I can get totally immersed in the “doing” of life (even stressed sometimes), spending hours at the computer dealing with a deluge of information or with pesky administrative issues. (The actual coaching and training is usually magical though).
Or I feel sad or worried for loved ones’ plight or for [...]
Why would knowing your purpose change the world?
Most people think that:
Knowing your purpose is something that is nice, but not essential.
Instead of navel gazing, we would be better off picking a vision and a goal and just do it!
Purpose talk often sounds like splitting hairs, especially when it talks about improving various aspects of our character (e.g. being more compassionate, or [...]
A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself
I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:
My love of animals
The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]
I just want to do my work and hate this stuff about selling and money
I just had a conversation that may sound really familiar to you. This fantastic, talented, big-hearted healer was saying: “I just want to do my healing and spiritual work and hate all this stuff about selling and money!”
Don’t you resonate? I sure do; even though I’m really good at helping other people with their [...]

You don’t give yourself permission to get what you want. Even if you’re finally over the “I don’t deserve” syndrome and think this doesn’t apply to you, I invite you to look again. Is there any chance you feel a duty, a responsibility to other people or to an ideal? Might you be entertaining thoughts [...]
Do you really know how to ground yourself?
In the last post, I gave myself good reasons why I should make it a priority to ground myself. Yours might be slightly different, but being heart-based entrepreneurs, we’re likely to have similar ideas.
There are a number of popular techniques designed to help you ground yourself which you’ve likely heard:
Visualizing chords connecting the center of [...]
The power of intention or coincidence…again?
I wondered whether to let you see my convoluted thinking, but what the heck, here it is.
This summer we’ve had a lot of daddy-long-legs (a type of spider) in the bathroom. Who knows why; maybe there was a nest in the laundry conduits.
I used to have major spider phobia and though I’m no longer as [...]
Challenges of being a sensitive person in business
In the last post, I described some of the ways in which an entrepreneur, executive or manager’s sensitivity would be an asset in doing their work.
Most sensitives would tell you that it’s been difficult functioning in our mainly action-oriented, fast-paced and attention-seeking culture and business world. For example, sensitive persons would tend to:
Find confrontations [...]
Positive consequences of having a sensitive nature as a business person
I define a sensitive person as someone who is affected more than average by their environment and especially by other people’s reactions and emotions.
Traditionally, that trait is viewed as a negative, as something that must be overcome. But that point of view overlooks that being sensitive is also a gift.
Here are 5 of the ways [...]
