What are you putting off?
A friend of mine has breast cancer.
Her spirit is indomitable, and she is tall, elegant, and beautiful with a scarf skillfully knotted around her head.
We had breakfast together last Saturday. She told me she was going to Disneyland the next day. With her sister. They’ve been at odds with each other for many years.
She paused, looked down at the remains of her eggs benedict, and said, “It’s going to be … interesting.”
Then she shrugged and looked up again with a smile. “I’m not putting things off any more.”
Why is it that people have to come face-to-face with their own mortality before they do the important things? What is it about human nature that makes us deny that our time is finite?
We laugh at the joke about how no one lies on their deathbed regretting too little time spent in the office. But what do we do about it? Tomorrow. Always tomorrow.
This is why I do the work I do. Because in the end, my work is all about helping people find their own clarity about what they really want. Instead of walking around with a vague sense that they want something more, my clients find that sense of clarity – and then they can also find the focus to get there.
Without the clarity, there is no focus. Without the focus, there is no inspired action.
Clarity + focus = inspired action.

You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help
me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer,
which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen,
Working together was absolutely key, and I think that’s what made it such a great
experience. I felt like you were my partner in this. I felt like my success was your
success. To me, someone who has that attitude and the skills to go with it —
that’s an unbeatable combination! — Daniel Stone,
I have a website I’m proud of — but for me, the hugest benefit has been
increased self-confidence. Because of the process we went through, and the validity that
came with the process, I trust what I think and I trust myself to speak about it. I have
greater confidence and clarity in my message about who I am and what I do. — Bev
