Earth Day
Hello everyone, it has been quite some time since I last wrote - or does it just feel like quite some time?
I would like to acknowledge our country's leader!
Obama is the kind of leader our country, cities, communities, families need. He focuses on the end result and uses the "how to get there" approach. What I mean by this is, Obama and his family find the health of our planet Earth relying on each individual member doing their part to slow down the global warming process. Planting seems to be the theme running in the Obama household - oh wait, The White House. Obama was seen planting, digging and placing, a tree. Remember Michelle Obama planting a vegitable garden on the White House grounds?
If they can do it, we can do it. YES I CAN!!
I am going to run out and get a pot to plant basil and rosemary right now, or maybe this weekend. No kidding, I really will start building that green thumb.
What type of leader will you be? I choose and have always chosen to have the "team means all of us." attitude rather than, "hey team, you aren't running hard or fast enough."
You choose your leadership style!
No more blame-game!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Here in Southern California we had beautiful weather, creating a wonderful wake-up to Spring and Easter with my family and friends.
Spring brings new joys and new life to things that needed rebirth. With that said, I am grateful everyday for my personal and professional growth with the help of Jack Canfield's Coaching Program. I am committed to recreating my life's passion for coaching and committed to lead my clients through their own journey; to welcome their gift/passion in their rebirth as well.
I am so glad to have finally found my passion, coaching people to lead themself -- both personally and professionally -- gives me joy.
Additionally, I am happy our new President showed great leadership in recapturing our U.S. Navy CAPT. We are thirsty for this type of leadership in our everyday lives. I am committed to finding those leaders and help them see their gift to themselves and their associates.
Have a wonderful and fulfilling week!

I hope everyone is having the day you chose to have! That's right, you choose to have the day you are having.
Leaders make choices, some choices are difficult and unpopular, but leaders make those decisions because they choose to make a difference in the lives around them. Managers, well they manage their own lives, departments, employees. As an employee, which characteristic do you want your boss to have? I personally did not enjoy working for managers because they were in-it-to-win-it, rather than in-it-to-build it.
Managers you just continue to manage! Those small few who motivate and encourage others to do great things and move beyond their comfort zone to find their greatness take over our companies now! The auto industry and lending companies need someone like you. We have made a paradigm shift from antiquated management behaviors to fresh, new ideas and strategies to lead our companies and our country to financial greatness.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone and chose to lead YOU today!

Lead us now! YOU lead, others will follow.
As tragedy strikes family and friends, we are reminded that we "shouldn't sweat the small stuff," or that "life is short."
One of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's pitchers, Nick Adenhart, was killed early this morning by a man who made a choice to drink and get behind the wheel of a car even though his license was expired (due to drinking and driving) plus numerous other DUI's. Whatever happened to taking responsibility of your actions? How could he or his friends let him get away with this? This man will now face the wrath of the judicial system, his family and friends and the entire MLB family.
We can no longer step back and tell ourselves, "I shouldn't have done that, it was a bad decision." We must STAND UP and take responsibility of our decisions and we must STAND UP and lead ourselves to make the right choices.
We all must step back and begin to look at our own lives. Could this have happened to you? Begin TODAY leading YOU and only YOU. I continue to tell people, "you are the only YOU you've got." Nick and his family will never know the true greatness his future held because of a man who "needed" to get behind the wheel. Take control man! Lead YOU!

Children who excel
Hello all,
On a personal note, my 4 year-old daughter excels in the classroom and loves music and dance. She loves her piano class and dance class, yet she never wants to go. I am not sure what to do, if anything!?! Okay, time to let go and allow her a bit of freedom!
On a business note, Stand Up Leadership is preparing two conferences in late 2009, one will be a Leadership Conference and the other will be a Women's Conference.
