8 Great Goals to Make 2012 an Amazing Year
On Monday, we kicked off our first Momnificent! mom mastermind group, and I have to say, I was super excited. There is nothing that brings me greater joy than helping individuals define and reach their goals in life. My web developer always jokes “You’re the Tony Robbins for moms!” We started our call sharing what each mom wanted to get out of the mastermind group, what their challenges were, and what their goals were for the next six months. One of our mastermind moms knew that she...
Read MoreThe Power of One, Simple Weekly Goal
Last week my son brought home his weekly communication sheet from his new school. At the top of the page it said “Weekly Goal: Tone of Voice”. I stopped for a moment and thought about the simplicity of that. Tone of Voice. We can work on that. I began a conversation with Ian about tone of voice. I explained how we need different tones of voice for different situations. We discussed using a respectful tone of voice, along with different volumes of voice. I gave Ian an...
Read MorePreparing for my Black Belt Testing in Taekwondo
About a week ago, I earned my deputy belt in Taekwondo. It was a proud moment for me because it’s the belt you receive before you become a black belt. With your deputy belt also comes a lot of responsibility and a lot of preparation. I’m excited to become a black belt in Taekwondo, but I know I have a lot of work ahead of me. Sometimes between now and the end of October, I need to be able to run 5 miles and return to the dojang to do 1000s of kicks and punches, perform 10...
Read More4 Simple Ideas You Can Use to Achieve Your Goals
Why is it that so many individuals set goals at the beginning of the year, only to find themselves abandoning the achievement of those goals a few weeks later.

Read MoreGoal Setting for Parents and Couples
Yesterday I talked with one of my clients, and she shared a heartfelt story with me. One of the things she and her husband have been wanting to do is participate in goal setting together for the new year. Although my client is intimately familiar with the power of coaching, her husband does not have the same benefits. When I told her about my Goal Setting Class that she and her husband could take online together, she was very interested, but she took it one step further. After putting...
Read MoreWhen Your Goals are Too Ambitious
Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to find out 1 week later, 1 month later, or maybe even 1 day later, that your goal was too ambitious? It's actually pretty common for that to happen. Normally, when people set a goal that is too ambitious, they get frustrated and abandon the goal.

Read MoreGoal Setting – Making Your Vision a Reality
Blogging has been kind of quiet for the month of January because my assistant Jessica and I were very busy getting a new online class ready. I'm always amazed when I ask a group of moms whether or not they set New Year's resolutions because many don't. When I ask them why not, they simply tell me they aren't going to stick to them anyway, so why bother? It doesn't have to be that way. For some moms, setting the goals is the difficult part. For...
Read MoreMini Makeovers
When we hear the word makeover, most of us think about transforming our physical appearance in some way. Just recently, for instance, I have toyed with the idea of growing my hair out. Perusing through the big hairstyle book at my local salon, I tried to imagine which hairstyles would look good on me. Should I wear my hair curly or straight, a medium length or long? Every once in a while, we all get the itch for something different. It might be a new look, or it...
