Pathways to Your Goals – Unraveling and Clicking in
As I was working towards a wellness goal, I remembered a phrase that supported me while I was quitting smoking. I uncovered it one day, when I was clearly tempted to go back on my “quit” plan after getting into an argument with someone. As I talked myself through the...
The Dynamics of Honoring and Merging Systems – in families
At the recent constellation workshop I attended, one example used to demonstrate the concept of systems meeting systems was expectations people have within a marriage. More specifically, it was about doing the dishes and taking out the garbage. Consider for a moment,...
The Dynamics of Honoring and Merging Systems – in Organizations
During a recent family constellation training, someone mentioned the dynamic of systems meeting systems. As we discussed the concept, I realized that the perfect example of this in an organization would be a merger or acquisition (M&A). The system of the company...
Inclusion and Exclusion – Judgment
In one of my corporate roles, I was considered to be extremely analytical and intense. Expectations of me, opportunities for me, and interactions with me were impacted by those “judgments” and “labels” held by others. After health issues started me on my journey to...

In June, I had the opportunity to attend my first formal teacher training which was held at a facility in a small town in the UK. I had been told that the facility did not have hair dryers and I dutifully packed the travel one I had used in the UK before, along with...
Flow and Alignment – Teamwork within Yourself
Stepping into flow sometimes happens when we set an intention and the world around us cooperates seamlessly. Think of it like a sports or business team that shares a common goal. All the players work together to make it happen as a unit, stepping into the energy of...
Flow and Alignment – Teamwork in Your Outer World
Last month, I travelled to attend a class for my own personal development. It was hosted in Montreal and my husband opted to go with me to explore the area. He was scheduled to return on the last day of the workshop, a day before me. At 4am that morning, he woke up in...
Taking Ownership – Who Is Responsible for the Glazing on my Car
While we have a role in our interactions and experiences with others, and can choose how to respond, certain situations call into question the concept of responsibility. I had parked my car at the local garage for a trip and upon my return, found what initially looked...
Taking Ownership – Choosing How to Respond
Before I became focused on the world of personal improvement, I held roles in corporate America related to customer satisfaction and business process quality. There were several phrases that have stuck with me from that time: How come we never have enough time to do...
A Point of View – Not Enough or More Opportunity
There are times when I find myself reading the comments that people leave in response to print news items. While some articles elicit notations of sympathy or encouragement, more often than not they become the starting point for finding the negative, focusing on one...
