A Hiatus...
Many of you have asked us what we have been up to...
Well, we have taken a short hiatus from updating our website and blog.
However, don't take that as we are not moving FORWARD! We have been very busy steadily adding new clients in both our coaching and consulting businesses as well as being hard at work on our book.
PLAYMAKERS, you won't want to miss this one!
More to come, so stay tuned!
Got Balance?
Do you find yourself constantly chasing "balance" in your life? Well, I personally hate when people ask me if I am "balanced". Balance indicates there is equilibrium on both sides of an equation. How many of us feel everything is equal at any given point in time? I sure don't.
I had an awesome discussion with Deborah Hardnett of Wealthy Sistas today where I talked about "balance" and how I prefer the word "centered" along with a host of other topics. Take a listen...

Review Your Game Film
Many of us use the season change to reflect, so we thought it fitting to talk about using this time to rewind and watch your personal game film. For those of you who may not spend much time watching sports or have not played organized sports, the process of watching film is critical to a team getting ready for their next game. Sitting and reviewing an opponent allows them to study how they play, analyze their strengths and weaknesses and create their strategy for winning. Well, in our personal lives, we all have a vast archive of game film. These are the stories of our lives. From memories of the first time we learned something from our parents to the things we used to love to do when we were young or when nobody was watching. Today, we encourage you to rewind and review the game film of your life. It can offer clues as to what you might love to do but have somehow forgotten amidst life's demands. Perhaps it will uncover some deep-rooted beliefs that you have that may be stopping you from getting to the next level in your career, relationship, or life. Or maybe, it just might open up a whole new world of possibility for pursuing something you never even imagined could be a life calling when you left your childhood behind. PLAYMAKERS watch hours of film and know the plays that will make them successful...do you?
