Ripple Affect Coaching

A few weeks ago I was on a teleclass with David Neagle and he made the comment that we all tend to work too hard and how much energy that takes up.  He gave the analogy of starting a new job and how exhausted you feel at the end of the day from learning so [...]

I’ve been taking the class ‘Mastering the Science of Getting Rich’ by David Neagle. In the third week of the class he asked the question, “Who is renting space in your head?” Wow, that struck a cord with me. Who is renting space in my head? What beliefs did I take on as my own [...]

I find it interesting that many of us see our physical body separate from who we are.  We know its part of us, but we still refer to it and think about it as if it were not completely connected to us.  My guess is that this may be because society puts such an emphasis [...]

In my experience it seems that many people choose a profession or job because either it meets someone else’s expectations or because of the money.  These people don’t really enjoy what they do and if they had the chance would change jobs or careers in an instant.  I’ve always advocated for doing what you love [...]

During the summer months I love to get out into nature and trek several local trails.  My top reasons for getting out are to connect with nature, clear my mind, and tap into my creativity.  Many of my best ideas come when I’m trekking, and many solutions that I’m looking for come to me when [...]

I’ve been observing my dog’s behavior over the last couple of days and it made me wonder what would we, humans, be like if we were more like dogs?
