Especially when our clients have BIG goals in mind, it’s important to help set them up for success by exploring if they really want their goal – and how committed they are. Also, sometimes with big goals, it’s easy to lose our enthusiasm somewhere along the way.
So, whether you have a client just starting out or whether they’ve just lost their way a little, here are 5 quick tests to explore how serious your client REALLY is about their goals! THE SIMPLE COMMITMENT TEST: A great place to start is to be totally obvious and ask, “So, how Read More…

Whether you’re a coach, counselor, therapist or social worker, affirmative writing is a great exercise to offer your clients who are making changes and attempting to bridge the gap from where they are to where they want to be. And it’s also a great journaling exercise for your own self-care and visioning.
Affirmative writing is where we write to bridge the gap between our current reality and our desired outcome, whether it’s events, goals, feelings, situations or something else. We write as if these things are already so – including our feeling state. Tip: Feelings are the magnet when it Read More…

But if a client’s goals are ‘to be happier’ or ‘have more confidence’ – how can we measure that? Well, it’s easier than you might think.
So, I’ll share my Simple 3-Step Process for measuring progress and hope it gives you Read More…
The end of a year – or beginning of a new one is a great time for people to get focused on what they want from the year ahead – or even their lives. For me, a Vision Board is a way of teaching our mind to focus on the things that are important to us!

Clarify who they are, what they want or where they’re going. Get their new year off to a flying start. Tap into their inner wisdom and create some focus for themselves.
What is a Vision Board anyway? A Read More…
Reflection time is not just important – it’s VITAL. It gives us the opportunity to acknowledge our challenges, difficulties – and our successes. It helps us see where we have grown and what directions we would like to take next.
And what better time than the end of December – a quiet time for so many of us. With the new year almost upon us, it’s a great opportunity to think about who we value in our lives, where we are on our spiritual or life journey, what we’ve achieved in the past year and what we’d like to achieve Read More…
I love HUGs, don’t you? I’m talking about Huge Unbelievable Goals – where we inspire ourselves to live a bigger life with a huge goal – the bigger the better!
The wonderful thing about HUGs is that they’re easier to achieve than people think. In fact they’re often easier to achieve than your average goal because HUGs are SO exciting that people willingly go to great lengths to achieve them. And one of the strange things about HUGs is that with focus and a little synchronicity people usually achieve their HUGs much sooner than they expect – and in unexpected Read More…
