Transformations

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I spent the last week in Bermuda hanging out with members from the Transformational Leadership Council (TLC), which is a group of thought leaders and personal development speakers who gather together twice a year to support each other.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what happened there has completely transformed me.

5 Good Ways to Ground Yourself

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Have you ever heard someone talk about being grounded?  Are you grounded?  Or is your energy drifting off like a helium balloon in the sky?  What does it even mean to be grounded and why is it important?

Going Up a Level in Courage

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or are a regular reader of my blog, you may have noticed that I sometimes make comedic references to my dislike of public speaking.  And while I have been a member of Toastmasters for more than three years, and have come a long way in terms of [...]

What’s Going to Happen?

Monday, June 1st, 2009

A lot of people appear to be under the impression that a psychic is able to tell you what’s going to happen in your future.  I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, your life is not predestined, you have free will.  Every choice you make today determines your future tomorrow.  The future is [...]

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Do your beliefs make you happy?  Do you currently have beliefs that are leading to a happy life?  Do you wake up every morning happy and grateful for the life you have?

Growing Up Without Religion

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Even though I am technically Jewish, born to two Jewish parents, I am not religious at all, nor was I raised religiously.  We celebrated Jewish holidays more for the festive, fun, family atmosphere than out of any adherence to a certain faith.  The only time we went to Temple was for other people’s weddings or [...]

How to Stop Being Jealous

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

When I was a kid I used to get really jealous whenever one of my friends had something really exciting happen to them.  I remember when my best friend – I’ll call her Melissa - got to take horseback riding lessons.  I seethed with jealousy.  Really.  Seethed.  I thought it was so unfair that she got to [...]

The Power of Talent

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

In 4th grade I learned a really valuable lesson about appreciating my talent and my uniqueness. I was taking piano lessons, but I was a poor student.  I preferred to play by ear but my teacher, of course, wanted me to learn to read music.  So while I was playing complicated songs by ear, she [...]

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Do you make it a point to attend conferences in fields you’re interested in?  Are you aware of the incredible wellspring of experiential information you will get from attending a conference?  Do you want to meet other people with similar goals and interests?  Go to conferences I tell you!  Make a point to go to [...]

How To Choose a Career That Will Make You Happy

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Sometimes when I’m doing a reading and we get to career the conversation will go something like this: Erin:  The guides are telling me that you’re in a tech field, like software engineering, but you aren’t at all happy anymore.  The work is totally draining you.  Is that right? Sitter:  Yes, I’ve been a programmer [...]
