Bali Healers, Assumptions & Coincidences on Your Path 1

There are two Balinese healers in this town (Ubud), one is famous due to Elizabeth Gilbert’s best selling book, “Eat, Pray, Love.”  Last year the workshop leaders went to him but they all had basically the same diagnosis, “You are strong beautiful woman.”  Our young Balinese River Rafting Guide (we met earlier in the day) said that the famous Healer lies in order to quickly move through the long lines of waiting tourists. He recommended we go to the […]

Using Your internalGPS: Where Are You Going? 2

“Whoa!! The plane is moving!!” the small boy exclaimed in the seat behind me as we jostled around in turbulence at 39k feet somewhere over the Pacific between Tokyo and Singapore.  It was just “a quick 6 hour 15 minute flight” as the pilot put it.  I agreed with him after the 12 hour flight from Salt Lake City to Tokyo.  It is all relative! Back to the boy’s quote about the plane moving.  It made me smile and […]

Coaching For a Shift on the Road to Success

In coaching it is great to feel a shift in a client.  It may be a small one that is a small step toward their ultimate goal or a big one that appears as an “a ha!” moment and changes everything.  The cool thing about a shift is that it requires nothing in the external world to change.  The things around you are all the same but you shift how you experience them. This past weekend I connected with […]

Playing For Extraordinary Results on the Road to Success

Summertime brings back memories of neighborhood softball games, Hide and Seek, “Tag- You’re It”, and many more.  I can smell the grass, feel the sun and see that big fly ball coming right at me in center field that I somehow managed to catch in a co-ed softball game; what a moment!  Hours flew by before we all had to run home for dinner. Have you ever had this feeling at work?  I am grateful for having this experience […]

Freedom to Navigate to Success with Your internalGPS

As we in the US celebrate our freedom this summer I have been thinking about freedom as a state of mind.  It is a way of looking at our choices. It is easy to forget that we have choices.  We automatically think that there is no choice but to set that alarm, get up and then go to that workplace that is draining our life energy a bit more every day. Sometimes it just takes a small shift in […]

Lightness and Faith On Your Path to Success

There has been a lot of press about Apple’s big milestone in May of becoming the largest technology company in the world at $50 billion plus (and only second in size to ExxonMobil in the U.S.).  Recently a friend sent me Steve Job’s commencement speech from 2005 (linked).  His messages are timeless; I am focusing on a just a couple of them below. Failure   As I contemplated my departure from the corporate world to Entrepreneur it was a […]

Navigating to Success Anniversary! 2

To celebrate this year of blogging I reflected back on some of the obstacles I faced in writing it and hope that sharing these lessons will help you navigate to success (toward your dreams). Daunting This is the best word to describe how I felt as I looked at my new site with zero blog posts in June 2009.  As I created my site, I had fun looking at different blog sites to clarify what I liked but I […]

Curiosity Cured the Cat: Navigating to Success with Curiosity

It is unfortunate that one of our American idioms- curiosity killed the cat- is fear-based and encourages us to stay put.  There is so much power and enjoyment in shifting to an inquisitive attitude that encourages new discoveries and an open mind. It is possible to grow your inquisitive skills through practice and shifting of your thoughts to become more curious.   Use of these skills will make your path to success more interesting and enjoyable and may even shift […]

Keeping it Simple & Easy on the Path to Success

I read a couple posts this past week about keeping things simple and not grinding away at things (see links below).  It is such a powerful (and simple!) message.  I sometimes catch myself making something more complex that it needs to be or inviting struggle into a situation that does not need it or keeping stress levels higher through the constant checking of new e-mails on my phone during any moment of silence (or even sitting at a traffic […]

Gut Pointing to Success

It is so powerful to use your gut instincts in pointing you in the right direction for success.   Using your gut takes practice and is a bit of a challenge if you are used to using your logic or head to analyze and then re-analyze which way to go. This is my typical mode or logical process: look at all the pros and cons and set up a list of criteria and rate each criterion.  Then logically review which […]
