The One Thing You Need to Succeed
194,622: number of books about success on Amazon.com Clearly, success is a hot topic. Rather than spend thousands of hours - and dollars - on hit-or-miss advice from the gurus, I invite you to consider that the answer may be simpler than you think. Success is fed by pronoia.

Lingering Invisibility & Quiet Invincibility: Lessons from the World Domination Summit
When I was a little girl, maybe 8 or 9, I longed to be unique. The image that reflected back to me when I got ready for school each morning was achingly ordinary: brown hair, brown eyes, a few freckles. Blah, blah, blah.

The sad part is, the other person didn't intend to … [Read more...]

But when I thought about my colleagues in association … [Read more...]
What To Do If You Have Static Cling
Every coach, counselor, or therapist has heard it from at least one client: I'm stuck. "Stuck" is our go-to word to describe a state where we feel immobilized by life, like we can't move. We can't make a decision. Our feet are stuck in the muddy rut. Life keeps moving around us, but we stay still, unmoving, unchanging. Static. Most of the time, we think it's because we don't know what … [Read more...]
When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It
Seventh Grade The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the … [Read more...]
