Becoming Great

We all have a story or narrative that constantly plays over and over again in our lives. As a Life Coach, I’ve had many clients tell  me their stories of hurt and pain.  The problem is that our narratives of tragedy become our identity.  My primary goal as a coach is help my clients to…

I recalled a young man telling me that he has an image to maintain.  I looked at him in shock, but then I understood the growing trend of making sure we look good at all times whether its in public, social media even in private.  While on one hand I understand the need for caring…

If I were to ask you to name five things about yourself that make you wonderful, would you have to think or would you be able to spit them out quickly? It’s important that we know how valuable and important we are to life.  As coach when I ask my clients this question without fail…

I’m going to be transparent. One of my biggest obstacles in life has been my battle with self torment and comparison. I’ve often felt that I’ve missed out on so much in life because I chose a very much different path than my friends.  In my head I know there’s no comparison with each other…

Another essential part to being great in life is in our ability to give.  So many of us look to take from life when really its about how much we give that is a measure of our greatness.  For the longest time I often equated giving to money.  It wasn’t until I had some one…

I was watching a workshop put on by the famous dance company, Alvin Ailey, here in New York.  The piece, co-directed by a good friend of mine, was breathtaking.  What really amazed me was that the Ailey adviser, a beautiful older woman in her 50’s was still agile and could dance just as good as…

Today, I got to see my girls ( a group of teens at a Girls’ Home) whom I life coach each week.  There was a new girl who I hadn’t met. I was excited to be able to bond with a new person in the house. I wish I could say the feeling was the…

  Photo Credit: Google For me I used to pride myself on being right. I had to win every argument and every fight.  I wouldn’t stop until my opponent gave in. I guess for me being right was my vindication for the years of being bullied and made fun of and never got the chance…
