The Power of Listening and Being Heard

Friday, September 14th, 2007

• 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.

Passion Fueled or Passion Blocked?

Friday, August 24th, 2007

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.

Human Design for Career Development – Believer or Skeptic?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

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……

Rockin’ with Passion, Sizzle and Visibility

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Folks, I have to talk about Li’l Connie again, the 6 year old semi final singer from Britain’s Got Talent . Check this kid out would ya, this time she’s singing the title song from the movie Ben. Connie on U-Tube

Is this kid living her boldest self-expression or what? Is this passion? Is this fearlessness?

It begs the question does it not, ARE YOUR LIVING YOUR BOLDEST VOICE OF SELF-EXPRESSION in the world? Are you passionate about what you do? Are you pursuing your dream fearlessly (in the face of judgment or not)?

When was that last time you pursued your dream and expressed your boldest voice THIS innocently and passionately?

I’m pondering….I’m inspired…..wanna join me?
