Choices
A Better Place to Be…
October 27, 2011 | 
Author Business & Pleasure… a fine combination!
Atlanta-bound for a Health & Wellness Conference, I planned several visits with
family and friends this past weekend. This was not always the case for me.
family and friends this past weekend. This was not always the case for me. In my past experience as a global business consultant, I took pride in staying totally focused on the task at hand. I would wrap my trips with much preparation upfront and then a thorough time of debriefing on the back end. I efficiently scheduled my flights to arrive at night so that I could get to the office early the next morning.
This lifestyle choice took a toll on my health – one that I am in the process of reversing now. While I am still strategic about trips, my itinerary includes time out to complete the rest of me. And I do mean REST! My optimal health and wellness goals include a balance between work and play.
One of my side trips was to the North Georgia Mountains. I was blessed with the vibrancy of the Fall colors and good times with friends. Elton & Gwen provided an overnight stay at their cabin appropriately named “A Better Place to Be”. 
Scooter welcomed me to the
Fellowship Valley Retreat Center with his guard dog bark and wagging tail. Tina, a good friend and the Operations Manager, surprised me with one of her famous bowls of Chili.
Southern hospitality at its best!
There were so many more that were part of this special time.
ALL Y’ALLs know who you are! J

Take a Leadership S-t-r-e-t-c-h !
Leadership development includes bringing all aspects of your life into balance according to what matters most for “you." As a Coach, my goal is to help you find clarity in terms of your personal mission. I help you paint the vision and then develop the goals that will move you forward on your path.
It’s YOUR Call to Action… your choice.
Surely this will take you outside your comfort zone and it may get a little messy on your way to where you’re going next.
It will also cause you to S-T-R-E-T-C-H toward your goals. While keeping your steady steps of faith with eyes focused, your vision will reward you in time.
My clients join me at different stages of their journey. Strategically they choose Read the rest of this entry »
Are you Operating in the Red?
A Call to Health…
- Successful Leaders are in the habit of tracking numbers.
Whether it be their personal bank and investment accounts or perhaps business sales and financial numbers… we schedule time to monitor and make decisions based on this information. Operating in the red, is not an option for a strategic leader.
- Successful Leaders know how to take action. When alarms go off in our tracking systems, we know what steps to take and/or where to get help to turn things around and get back on track.
- Successful Leaders know the difference between Reactive and Strategic actions.
Leaders anticipate success by casting a vision, setting goals and implementing systems that report and monitor their progress. Sometimes results surprise us and we are forced to react quickly. Ideally, we have anticipated challenges and have a strategic back-up plan.
In the area of HEALTH, are you operating in the red?
Why is it that so many successful leaders are surprised Read the rest of this entry »
Priorities ~Your Health, where does it rank?
Is there anything else in your life as important as optimal health?
The more clients I coach the more I realize that there are some priorities that are non-negotiable. Unfortunately many of us learn about these only after a personal crisis.
Yes! For me and for many others I've asked, there is something more important than optimal health… a personal relationship with God and the confidence that we'll be spending eternity with Him.
Optimal Health is next on my personal priority list. After caring for my 
senior parents for over 6 years, I've learned that second only to my faith, my personal health and wellness is next on my priority list. Juggling many responsibilities, I ignored my own health in deference to my parents' quality of life. But no more! I've stopped the downward spiral and am taking steps to permanent weight control and optimal health.

Step Away From The Vehicle! …a Self-Management Tool.
Split-second Potential Conflict Alert System – do you have one?
There are times in our busy lives when we suddenly reach a point where the next word we speak may very well be the beginning of a conflict. The actual conflict is taking place inside of us. How to respond: from our rational mind, our emotions, or for some of us, draw on God's wisdom?
It's easily a split second decision point. Think back. I'm guessing there have been a few times when your response was brilliant, conflict averted and it all resulted in positive outcomes. On the other hand, there were those times when maybe, well, we could have done better.
I've got some great success stories in my experience bank and there are some really “not-so-good” stories as well. As a result, I've learned some things which I'll pass on to you today. Read the rest of this entry »
