Previously, I had shared the approach of Becoming a Force to be Reckoned with! At this time, I have a few more life-changing, create a revolution resources/books to share you! So much abundance available to us when we are open to receiving. This is the first year I’ve read so many books for leisure/development purposes, as opposed to academic reasons.

I just can’t stop myself. About a week ago, a box arrived from Amazon with five new books! Last weekend, I attended the NYC Book Launch party for a fellow BSchooler, Christina Rasmussen, Seconds Firsts: Live, Laugh and Love Again. My sister says the living room is looking like a library these days with books stacked on the edge of the couch. As if that’s such a terrible thing? Maybe she’ll [Continue Reading...]

It’s performance appraisal time in the workplace. Don’t you just love being judged on what you’ve accomplished? Ah, yeah, not so much.

Truth be told, as a HR professional, I used to dread and really dislike the entire process –self-appraisal, performance review with my boss, how I was measuring up to my boss’ expectations, and receiving constructive feedback.

As a Recovering Perfectionist, I definitely get it. I wanted to be a Super Star in every aspect of my life, which isn’t possible. I wanted to achieve “exceeds expectations” rating basically on every objective, while demonstrating the values & behaviors. I was making myself crazy and causing unnecessary stress for myself.

Performance Review process would almost always leave me thinking, “Was I good enough in my role and for this organization?”

I had [Continue Reading...]

Manifesting or attracting what you desire into your life can be really simple. With only a few steps to implement you can bring desired opportunities and outcomes into your life. However, so many of us, including myself at times can get caught up in Obsessing rather than truly Manifesting. Could this be you?

Obsessive thinking doesn’t manifest what you want in your life. It actually creates anxiety and only delays the desired outcome. It keeps you from being present in the moment and from moving forward. It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I can spend hours and sometimes days obsessing over things before making a decision or taking action or refocusing and moving on. Trying to figure out the best approach. Trying to control when and how it comes [Continue Reading...]

The REALITY is you don’t need to take either side. Unless, you want to let FEAR run your life, strip you of your sense of worth and passion for life, and then drag you into the ground and mud! That’s absolutely not for the Courageous & Remarkable one like you!

Perhaps you’re one of those people who wouldn’t know what to do if all your dreams came true – if you got everything you ever desired in your life, career, and relationships. Maybe you’re concerned about the sense of responsibility that comes with success. It feels [Continue Reading...]
