I am mid-way thru facilitating a great SHIFT-IT Tele-group. Over the course of 7 conference calls, I’m working with a fabulous group of folks from around all over (England, New Zealand, Holland, U.S. and Canada), thru my SHIFT-IT Graphic Coaching Process.  We are on Stage 3 of the process called ‘Investigate Your Now’.  In this… Read more »

I had the pleasure of being one of eight speakers for the National Association of Women Writers’ Annual Tele-Summit last week.  This event was jammed packed with information on all aspects of the craft and lifestyle of writing: legal, creativity, brand & platform, magnetic marketing, traditional and non-traditional publishing routes, etc.  I was the last speaker… Read more »

I just spent 15 blissful days on a Hawaiian cruise. I chose this particular cruise because it was hosted by Abraham-Hicks my favorite Law of Attraction teachers. Abraham-Hicks is a hyphenated name because it represents two different partners. One partner is Esther Hicks (and Jerry Hicks her husband). Esther is a very sweet Texan woman… Read more »

I live on an island (Vancouver Island, the furtherest west side of the province of British Columbia in Canada), and as such my commute involves getting on and off the island via ferry or plane.  Last week I went from Victoria (where I live) over to Vancouver to do a graphic facilitation job with the… Read more »

The facilitation community, and particularly the graphic facilitation community, is feeling the loss of one of our great leaders, mentors and icons … Micheal Doyle.  Mr. Doyle died January 29th in San Francisco.  Michael was foundational in putting facilitation on the map, in terms of a separate and valued professional role.  And was instrumental in… Read more »

I attended one of Abraham-Hick’s cruises – where the cruise is combined with over 18 hours of Abraham/Law of Attraction seminars. Esther Hicks (pictured here) and her husband Jerry are the team who produce the… Read more »

Happy New Year!  Ahhhh.  New years.  My favorite special day of the year.  Frankly I am not a big fan of the Xmas season.  However I just love New Years.  Putting away the past and moving towards the future.  This time of year is just full of possibilities and promise.  And frankly I think that… Read more »

Thankfully I don’t travel quite as much as I used to (as my practice is shifting more to phone work or people flying to Victoria to work with me in my studio). Throughout my career I have had some real highs and some real lows in terms of destinations and accommocations. Early on, when I… Read more »

Alrighty then.  Since starting this blog I have been wondering how to get larger visuals on it (I am the GRAPHIC coach after all … so it has been driving me nuts to be mostly limited to words on this medium). I just figured out that I can post photos on a Flickr account, and… Read more »
