I knew I was in trouble the day the test results came back. I was in my doctor’s office and he was looking at the test results. He squinted, re-adjusted his glasses and looked at them again.

Who is authoring your life?

By Bobbi November 18, 2020Awareness, Mindsets, New Paths, Overcoming Obstacles and Challenges

About twenty five years ago, I read something to the effect of: Either you are the author of your own life or you will merely become a character in someone else's story. That revolutionized my life.

How Our Rationalizations Keep Us Stuck

By Bobbi November 10, 2020Awareness, Mindsets

When someone is better at something than we are, we have a choice: we can find excuses, or we can find learning. I’ve experienced this for myself and I’ve also seen it in countless coaching sessions with others. I was reminded of this last winter when I was out skiing one of my favorite cross-country ski runs.

At first, it was a very small fire, but it kept consistently growing in our direction. We were in no immediate danger and we were not in either the evacuation zone or the pre-evacuation zone. (The…
