12 Feb Embrace your Uniqueness
Dream big? Yes. Persevere against all odds? Absolutely! Whatever you do, don't let the opinions of others convince you to walk away from the things you're passionate about...
12 Feb Is it possible to have a Career that is aligned with your Values and Interests?
Is it possible to have a Career that is aligned with your Values, Beliefs and Interests? Or, is this asking for too much and should you just be happy that you have a job? Each week I hear clients expressing a deep desire to make changes to their professional path. “I just can’t do it any more! It’s sucking the life out of me. I feel like I’m dying inside.” These are actual statements I hear on a regular basis. They come from intelligent, responsible and resilient people, who don’t walk away from commitments easily. This is so much more than what could be considered typical workplace frustration and that’s what makes what they’re saying so important. A Shift is taking place They’re highlighting...
12 Feb 99% of my 2019 Career Counseling clients Hired!!
Yes, it's true, 99% of my 2019 Career Counseling clients have been hired and are now working in their preferred field! And the final 1%, well he’s just about there :) This year, I did a lot of Career Counseling, which is great because I love helping people launch into a solid career path that allows them to create a future filled with possibilities. Some of the industries my clients targeted in 2019 were: Customer Service, Office Administration, Publishing, Engineering, First Responders, Law, Forestry/Conservation, as well as Self-Employment. While the range is quite wide, the integral components required to identify skills, prepare professional resumes, train for the interviews and pursue a sustained approach to finding work, are the same. Interestingly, the majority of...
03 Feb Destiny has a different Vibration to it
Sometimes it feels like an inner calling that pulls you powerfully towards a cause. At other times, it can feel like the wind at your back, constantly pushing you towards it, even though you might not know what ‘it’ is. There are those who are born into a fixed role and their Destiny is to use their position in a way no one has done before. And then, some people ‘accidentally’ trip into theirs. One thing is certain, Destiny has a different vibration to it. Everyone has a Destiny to fulfill in their lifetime. Every single person comes into this world with something, that when used for the highest good of others, will leave this world better because they were here. The...
28 Dec Could The Golden Rule be causing your Relationship issues?
I’m sure you remember The Golden Rule: ‘Treat people the way you'd like to be treated’. A clear reminder most of us learned in childhood, that if you don’t want it done to you, don’t do it to others. How is it then, that this pillar of good behaviour could be destroying your relationship? Here’s where it works First, let me say that when it comes to most of the people you encounter during the course of the day, The Golden Rule of treating others with the kind of respect and consideration you appreciate, is a sound approach. For example: If you see someone with their arms filled with bags, it’s thoughtful of you to hold the door open for them If...

16 Dec When life throws you a curveball, this is the MOST instantly empowering question you can ask
To best convey the most instantly empowering question you can ask when life throws you a curveball, I need to tell you this first. During the winter months in snow country, we’re quite accustomed to the police reminding us how to drive in dangerous winter weather. Too often, when someone hits an icy patch, skids and loses control of their car, the mistake they make is to turn the steering wheel in the extreme opposite direction of the skid. Then, without fail, the car starts going much too far over in that direction so they frantically turn the steering wheel back in the other direction. Back and forth they go, resulting in one big chaotic mess. The tip the police give...

15 Dec If life is a Reflection, why are you brushing the Mirror?
If you're tired of unwanted themes taking place in your life, this post is for you!! The way we learn in this life is through Reflection. This means that whatever we believe to be true about ourselves is reflected back to us and that’s what we call Reality. This is important. What we’ve been taking for Reality 'out there', is actually a reflection of the choices we make inside. So, my question to you is this. If life’s a Reflection, why are you brushing the mirror? Solving the Riddle Here’s what I’m referring to. Imagine that you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and see that your hair is a mess. You say to yourself “Oh, that’s not good”...
15 Dec Your Hunger must be Greater than your Fears
Life is growth. Growth means change. Change scares the heck out of most people. But change needs to happen if you are to stay relevant and thrive. How then, do you manage knowing that you need to change, with feeling anxious and overwhelmed at the thought of it? First acknowledge that there is always some fear and discomfort associated with change. Second, and importantly, know that a key determinant for growth and expansion is this: Your Hunger must be greater than your Fears. Your Hunger for what you want, has to be greater than the Fears/ resistance that hold you back. So, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be fears, it just means that your Hunger for what’s on the other...
