• Do you feel like people listen when you talk?

• Do you listen when people talk to you?

• Perhaps your listening style is finishing people’s sentences for them, or worrying about what you’re going to say in response?

I read a blog post recently that was tremendously inspiring. The post was written by Lou Hampton at Speak to Lead. The story was titled, Michael Deaver – The Great Listener.  What a powerful testimony for EMPOWERED LISTENING and BEING HEARD.

A Belle with Balls is a woman who boldly expresses herself in the world, full out and on her terms! She’s not afraid to go for what she wants and risk having it all.

She is big, bold, independent, powerful, charming, gutsy, persistent, courageous, unique, generous, honest outrageous, innovative, invincible, tenacious, and creative. Did I mention that she’s ballsy?

As a role model for all women, she commits to squeeze as much juice and joy from this journey as she can - doing it with passion, purpose and a large sense of play!!

Check out a few of these oh so fabulous women at my “Tuck Talk” podcast.

My new “bellefriends” are passionate about sharing their boldest voice of self-expression with the world. And, they’re excited and talking about their newest designation. Be sure to let them know just how ballsy and fabulous you think they are too……

Are you fueled with passion or is your passion blocked by fear, confusion and overwhelm?

This week I had the pleasure of engaging in empowering conversation with my Viva Visibility class facilitated by my fabulous Belle with Balls  “bellfriend” Nancy Marmolejo. We discussed PASSION - what it is, what it fuels and what keeps us from living it.

PASSION is your SIZZLE, say’s Nancy. And, PASSION and SIZZLE fuel your VISIBILITY. If you don’t have the visibility you desire in your business, check your passion.

Folks, I recently read an ON THE JOB article in the San Francisco Chronicle, written by Chris Colin. The topic involved the Human Energy Design System, as yet “just another tool” in the career development arena.

SFGate FEATURES: Professionally adrift? Consult your inner neutrinos

My Response and Comment: I’M A BELIEVER! From one 5/1 to another, I’ve discovered enormous value in the study and experience of my design. Perhaps I was looking for answers to who I am versus who I was raised and conditioned to be.

ANSWERS COME FROM WITHIN, neutrino stream or not. Human Design for me, is a tool of empowerment and understanding, like MANY other tools available today. And, this one rocked my world! 

If a tool supports one’s journey toward living passionately, assists in overcoming adversity and basically gives one piece of mind and a greater sense of well-being….WHO CARES how it’s communicated?

If it resonates, EMBRACE IT. If it doesn’t, DON’T. If you’re triggered by it, ASK WHY?

Speaking of parachutes, I’m reminded of the quote by Anthony J. D’Angelo, Founder of The Collegiate EmPowerment Company and creator of The Inspiration Book Series.

“Your mind is like a parachute. It only works if it is open.”

CALLING ALL TYPES IN THE WORLD! I’m informing you, inviting you and asking you to respond……
