The Clarification
Working on a website is a demanding yet clarifying experience. The project is a journey that lasts for weeks and weeks and hangs heavy. It presses you to answer hard questions like: |

- What do I really do?
- What do I love, believe in and value?
- What am I good at? My "genius?"
- What do people say about my work?
Here are some insights I gained, followed by some questions for you that could help us both:
- First, my work doesn't easily summarize into a few simple buzz words. The core of it involves developing partnerships with people. Each has unique strengths, weaknesses and goals. We collaborate to create results. And, oh, I do love results.
- Second, I enjoy finding tools and technologies to improve life. My father was a self-taught electronics hobbyist. As you'll read in my story, neurofeedback has played an important role in my life and work. Even before that, I always loved testing, finding numbers to measure and plotting elusive things like personality, behavioral and leadership style. My husband's nickname for me is MacGyver which some days I don't feel like I deserve but do consider the ultimate compliment.
- Third, I love being of trusted counsel to others. I am most touched when people say things like I can share things with you I would never tell anyone else, you really listen and give honest feedback in ways I can hear it. That's at the essence of what I value and believe helpful. It's an honor and what I love most about being a coach and therapist.
- Lastly, I have a talent for attracting amazing people into my life --- professionally and personally. Lisa Files, web designer, is at the top of my list. I am grateful for her kindness, patience and artistic and technical expertise in taking my thoughts and partnering on this lovely site. Lisa's family is deeply rooted in creative arts and it shows here. Thank you Lisa!
