Something to think about...
At 211 degrees...water is hot.
At 212 degrees...it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
And, it's that one extra degree that...
Makes all the difference.
What is your 1 degree? So many times, in business and in life, it's that one extra degree of effort that separates the good from the great.
My pledge. is to make a DIFFERENCE in the lives of executives, entrepreneurs and professionals. As your coach I will work with you to think out of the box and brainstorm the possibilities. I help you to develop breakthrough strategies and then provide the structure, process, actions and models to deliver on your strategies. I will be your cheerleader, mentor, advocate, sounding board and thought provoker, but you need to do the WORK. Most importantly I will give you unique insight and perspective that most executive coaches and consultant don't provide...in a safe and confidential environment. Give me a call today and begin a journey of self discovery.
My specialty is working with women in business!

The Jar The Life Jar!
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember story of the mayonnaise jar and coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was! So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, your family and children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to
clean the house and fix the disposal"
Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a
great friend."
HBDI 
Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument Profile
The HBDI™ is a 120-question diagnostic survey. Your answers indicate your thinking style preferences. Because it is a self-analysis, most people immediately recognize their results as accurate.
Your personal thinking preferences influence your communication, decision-making, problem solving, and management styles. Understanding your thinking style preferences gives you a new perspective of yourself and others you interact with everyday.
You will receive:
• A full color profile
• Accompanying materials that explain your profile and your scores in detail
• A discussion of the implications your results have on your life, both personally and professionally
Ned Herrmann began developing the HBDI™ in the 1970s. Twenty years of research and innovation stand behind the validity of the HBDI™. It has been the subject of independent validations, dissertations, and scientific papers. A summary of HBDI™ validations can be found in Ned Herrmanns book, The Creative Brain. Numerous case studies illustrate a wide range of applications of the HBDI™ The HBDI™ picks up where other assessment tools leave off. Where most assessments end with a single report, the HBDI™ offers a valuable range of applications. Identifying our thinking style preferences is only the first step.
Gal in Glass The Gal in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggles for self and you think you are King/Queen for a Day...
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself to see what that person has to say.
For it isn't your mother or father or spouse whose judgment upon you must pass...
The person whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back in the glass...
For the person is with you clear up to the end...
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test if the guy/gal in the glass is your friend...
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life and get pats on the back as you pass...
But your final reward will be heartache and tears if you've cheated
