Don’t Look Back, that’s not the direction you are going.

DON’T LOOK BACK, THAT’S NOT THE DIRECTION YOU ARE GOING.

Do you have your foot on the accelerator and your eyes in the rear view mirror?

You will certainly crash.

Are you trying to move into the NEW each day, move forward by looking backwards? How can you create, imagine, manifest new success, learning, if you are constantly looking back, behind you? Sure, it is necessary to learn and grow from our past, yet, the best solutions and positive intent are created by “looking ahead” while consciously standing in the present moment. Continue reading

Telling your story is your Super Power!

June, 2021
TELLING YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPER POWER!

Your “story” is what you are telling folks 24/7. Does it hold magnetic power, or does it feel lack luster, no emotion?

Telling your story or “networking” is much more than exchanging your email, text number, title, business name or niche. What you are constantly connecting from and with are your actions, your emotions, body language, your message of your persona, and your actual being. Most of your connecting is on a subconscious level, energy of YOU is connecting with all the other stories around you. Continue reading

PAY ATTENTION! LEARN FROM YOUR PETS HOW TO MOVE THROUGH CHANGE: SHIFT FROM FEAR INTO SAFETY.

Is the feeling of not being “in control” now showing up in your life disguised as exhaustion, frustration, being all alone and not safe? Too many pivots, shifts, changes, put us into mental and physical overwhelm. We are sharing our overwhelm with our pets. Now our fur folks are displaying what behaviorists / vets are describing as “Displacement Behavior”. Our fur kids are actually in more need of familiarity and schedules than we require!

Discovering your purpose: Find your extraordinary in your ordinary.

DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE:  FIND YOUR EXTRAORDINARY IN YOUR ORDINARY

What do you consider “ordinary” in what you do? What do you do or think that you take for granted and feel “oh, everyone can do that”? Most of the times we are not aware of the unique attributes or WHAT we are doing, saying, contributing. Continue reading

Is your but in the way?

IS YOUR BUT IN THE WAY?
All about your buts PBrownLR500

Have you looked at your “but” lately?

Is your “but” worthy of recognition, unabashedly mentionable?

I bring this up is due to a recent experience that occurred on my flight back from Hawaii. I stood up to get something out of my bag in the overhead and had it fall under my assigned seat. With my head searching between my seat and the back of the seat in front of me, on my hands and knees in the small aisle…I heard a female voice laugh out to me “Excuse me, but your butt is in the way” claimed a light-hearted flight attendant holding a tray of water.

THE BIG PURPOSE IN HONORING YOUR “SMALL CHANGE”.
Small step top art500

“Small change”…taken literally, most of us have this rattling in our pockets, purses, in jars, in our car consoles.

What’s this small change “worth”? Small change is usually referred to as “loose change”, a hassle, not worth counting OR keeping. We toss it into charity boxes, tip jars…we get rid of “it”. No value, not worth our time. Continue reading

TRUST = RESPECT. MAKE CONNECTIONS REAL!
Trustlr500

Trust is your and your business’ most valuable and number one commodity. When you connect your head and your heart to show who you are and how you give value, REAL support and connect with others… you are creating your trust “container”. Inside this safe container you create respect, build loyal and sincere partnerships, repeat sales and interactions with your audience, team, and with yourself. “Trust is like a glass, once broken it will never be the same again.” Anon Continue reading

What’s the difference between working from the “you” vs “me”?

August, 2016
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORKING FROM THE “YOU” VS “ME”?
YOUvsMe500

In these times where current societal system and millennial generation discussion is marked with words such as entitlement, lack of accountability, disposable, and “it’s all about me”…is there a way to connect with value, being valued, by expressing our unique self, personality, our purpose?

Yes! Finding and offering “you” vs. “me” is the solution. We are all connected to each other in a natural and very aware manner, and that is the pure “you” for each and every one of us. That is THE connection that honors our connection to everything; our unique purpose. Relating and communicating via the essence of our purpose, connection becomes selfless and not selfish!

The art of YOU!

THE ART OF YOU!
MoonlightBeachSunsetLR500

YOU are a work of art; your imagination connects you to the expression of the art you have come to accomplish right here and now. Imagine that, you are a pure work of art, a true artist. All of us are artists, we just have different ways of creating, expressing, thinking, feeling and innovating.

The art of being your “why” is what makes you a true artist. And, yes, that is my “art” in the main visual…my Heart Art expresses its joy by translating “essence” into painting form…I shine by showing what shines in what is all around me (people’s hearts too!). Continue reading

IS YOUR LIFE, YOUR BUSINESS WELL NOURISHED?
WhatFeedsYOU500

Think about it…how are you feeding your life, livelihood…portions of fresh “true to you ingredients”, or servings of attitude from others’ plates, leftovers, not of your craving? We all create our unique smorgasbord of what to consume and to be grown by, essentially what we feel good and nourished by doing and being. There are ingredients that you require that nourish that unique YOU, your authentic purpose…and these are different for each and every one of us.

HOW TO GET EVERYONE ON THE “SAME PAGE” or: HOW TO SHARE ONE VISION WHEN WE ALL SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
In a sea of unique perceptions, conforming assumptions, labels, and rules, how do you share your unique vision, give it clarity, form trusted partnerships, rally support for your vision or journey?

The answer is to know what your passion or purpose is on such a gut level that everything you do, say, speak, share, comes from that unique point of view; that “you” that holds enthusiasm, surety, leadership. Find, then invite others to discover your gift of purpose…the why of you, the power of showing up in authentic manner. Continue reading

How to bridge communication “chasms” with Carefrontation vs. Confrontation.

HOW TO BRIDGE COMMUNICATION “CHASMS” WITH CAREFRONTATION VS CONFRONTATION.
ProCon500
Communication springs from emotional messaging…you have a choice of positive Carefrontation: trust and open (win / win), or negative Confrontation: force and accusatory actions (loose / loose).

I am writing this blog to help share positive points learned from a recent experience of mine. Just found closure in a copyright infringement situation where I found myself receiving a strong confrontation communication strategy that evolved into passive aggressive stalled out mode. Due to this non caring confrontational “style”, separation of what each individual desired increased, stuck got more stuck, and false promises resulted in failure. Continue reading

7 STEPS OF “HOW” TO REACH FOR THE STARS WITH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND.
MountainStarReachLR500

Thinking big, going “outside the box”, ideation, reaching for the stars, we all go into the great unknown at times…how do we anchor ourselves for the adventure? This is how “change” happens, bringing in new thoughts, ideas and using them to evolve our business and our own lives. Our anchor is often referred to as “keep your feet on the ground” (don’t wander too far, the earth could be flat!)…the ground is what we feel comfortable in and with, what our individual reality IS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR OF THE RED MONKEY!
Red monkey500
The new Chinese New Year of the Red Monkey is arriving with its fast and free-swinging energy on Monday, February 8, 2016. The story with this New Year (the first Lunar new moon of 2016) is characterized by the personality or “story” of the monkey. We are saying goodbye to the year of the Ram or Sheep, which was a year for foundation building, safety, uncovering and moving obstacles, slow change. This new monkey year will be a MUCH different story with a more non cautious, fly by the seat of your pants, maybe even filled with a few quick pranks to go along with what “monkey” stands for in the Chinese 12 animal zodiac system.
