TAKING MY OWN EFFIE ADVICE

I have often said that when I coach others, I coach myself. There is ALWAYS a lesson in it for me. This was a good one. The Reframe. I spoke with a client who shared some news that none of us want to hear. There are some major health concerns… follow up appointments in the […]

Taking My Own F-ING Advice Tuesdays

It has been a few weeks since I wrote. I wasn’t feeling inspired, or motivated. I was feeling uncertain about next steps for me with work and BPF as a whole. Unsure about what I wanted to do next. You see, I have always defined myself by what I have ‘done’ – my work, where […]
