This week I want to talk with you about living life proactively versus reactively! Sometimes the difference between the 2 is in knowing how to make the shift. Tune-in for more of this discussion!

I want to talk to you about FEARS. Why are we afraid and when did we become afraid? Are there any consequences with having fears? I believe that we should take a look every so often at the things that we are afraid of and consider addressing the fear rather than merely accepting it.

Let's talk about Friendships! I know that the term friend has been tossed around very loosely these days however I want to take the time to help you understand that friendships happen at different levels and stages. Although we use the word "friend" loosely, everyone in your life is not really your friend. I will explain more on with this weeks conversation.

So you may have heard of the term before "EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE". This phrase has actually been used quite a bit in many settings. It isn't just a persons ability to be "mature" instead it is ones ability to perceive, use, understand and manage ones emotions! Tune into this weeks episode to learn about how to better understand emotional intelligence and also how to strengthen yours.

If you think about it, you have a "toolbox" or at least a junk drawer for the many things that you may need to get the job done. If you are at a friends or loved ones home and need a hammer or measuring tape you simple ask "hey, where's your toolbox? I need a hammer". The purpose of this box is to have, on hand, that which you may need someday in the future without having to spend a lot of time finding it.

Have you considered that your self-care routine or process needs a "toolbox"? This would enable you to prepare for those future days when you are in need of self-care well before the need arises. Let's move from vaguely remembering self-care to intentional planning with the information in this weeks conversation!

Have you ever been told that you aren't the best communicator from someone, when others say that you are communicating just fine? You walk away wondering what more you could have done to communicate better yet you keep having this problem with them.

So what if you learned that communication is only half the equation? What if communication needed a complimentary, equally important effort in order to really work? Let's consider "comprehension!" Tune-in to this weeks episode to learn more about the necessary duo of communication and comprehension!

So what is your commitment recipe? When you decide to give yourself fully over to something, how do you ensure that you remain dedicated and on course for the journey.

Tune in for more insight and let's continue this coaching conversation.

What happens when we seek to validate the feelings of another? Can we maturely accept another's point of view while sometimes agreeing to disagree? Do you understand what it means to be validated?
Tune in to learn more about this critical step of "validating" that comes between actively listening or engaging and seeking solutions.

Who are the key people in your life supporting you to success? Have you identified them BEFORE you need them?
