You DO Have a Magic Wand!

Ah magic! We all have it. But so often we close ourselves to our own magic and look to others for the transformations we want to create in our selves and in our businesses. So I offer all prospects and clients a full disclaimer – “I do not have magic wands or magic pills. This [...]

And the Sensible Response is…

I’ve been quiet lately. There is precedent for that, but I’ll admit it isn’t a frequent occurrence. The last time must have been when I was about three. So I don’t remember much about it. But I’ve heard stories. Mostly from my mother. She was there. In her story, I was nattering on about something arcane [...]
