Remember seeing the job description for your current position? You were excited as you read through the qualifications and skills the company listed. You knew you were a great fit.

One of the most challenging lessons learned during coaching school was to live in the present. In our everyday lives, ‘future casting,’ or worrying what lies ahead is pretty common. We all play the game of “what if,” which can be really dangerous and bring added anxiety to our lives.

Earlier this week, I had the great pleasure of presenting an Opportunity or Obstacle workshop to a great group of leaders who are eager to positively influence change within and for those that they work with.

They did it! They were, present, fully engaged, and because they accepted the growth challenge, they now have a few new tools and skills to simplify their day!

More than a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein addressed the scientific community, passionately presenting the idea that everything we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell is not matter, but energy. Everything that "matters" is energy.

Fear is our natural response to real and imagined danger and can arise from many sources. Many times, it is a result of allowing our imagination to run away with all the disastrous things that could or might happen especially if we try something new or treading into unknown territory.

Change affects us everywhere and in everything we live for. Today, the security we seek from the various aspects of our lives is no longer guaranteed on any level
