What people say

You’ve built such integrity of message in your company. I know that’s because it springs forth intrinsically, but you stay so focused at your core! I can’t think of a better way to phrase that laser-beam focus you have. It’s funny, because in someone else, laser-beam focus would be intense, but somehow you manage to make it much more kind and easy. — Jessica Albon, Thrive Your Tribe Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I’ve never worked with anybody in the way that I’ve worked with you in terms of trusting in your abilities to the level that I have. — Catherine Hajnal PhD, Eight Branches Consulting, Vancouver, Canada ... facilitating and nurturing joyful living

You have an uncanny ability to see through what is being said and surface all the “unsaid” issues. Then you quickly give candid feedback and have a tremendous toolbox to help me move forward through your expert guidance of the right tool.

I have worked with many facilitators/coaches/counselors relating to work and personal situations. Your skills are exemplary and moved me faster than I ever expected. — Jennifer Baker, Fishers, Indiana

You bring both a spiritual perspective and some real-world hard-headedness. — Janet Bailey, Mindful Time Management San Francisco, California

Brava! I wish I could draw a picture of me — you’d see me in a deep bow to you!

I read your newsletter as soon as it hits my in-box and you’re always right on with your advice. I had to let you know that this issue is particularly brilliant.

I will definitely keep this info — and your contact info — in a secure place.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight and wisdom. — Debbie Rodgers, CGA

You spend how much of your time working?

Whatever your relationship is with your work, your career, your job, and your life there are always things that could improve.

And that’s what I write about every other week.

I’ve just read your December newsletter and it’s fantastic! Your sense of humor shines through so brightly and it was really, really fun to read. I’m so glad I got a copy! And your process sounds like a really great way to look forward to next year — I’m going to have to give it a try.
– Jessica Albon, The Write Exposure

My articles offer readers unusual viewpoints and practical techniques on a range of topics. Readers forward it on, request additional copies when theirs go missing, and write notes to me that inspire me to greater heights!

As usual, your writing is masterful and inspiring! I admire your consistent ability to produce such quality “meditations.” Another thing that’s so neat about you as a human being is that you actually WALK your TALK ... yaay, Grace.
– Annie Russo, Performance Support Consultant

You also get my free workbook, Your Work: perfect fit, or misfit? The workbook walks you, step by easy step, through a very fun and unique way to look at how you view work right now. You’ll explore what it is you like about work, and what you don’t like.

You’ll have new, useful insights into what you want your relationship with work to be like. Insights that will help you change your current work life to be more fun and enjoyable — and that will help you understand which of your various future options are the best choices for you.

Nice writing. Always nice writing. Don’t know if I’ve told you before, but your stuff is among the most articulate, passionate, honest, from-the-heart writing that I see on any kind of regular basis.
- Dan Ruchman, Ruchman & Associates; Entrepreneur-in-Residence, San Diego CONNECT
