A super short post today so I can slow down to speed-up!
Have you noticed life has a way of taking on a life of it’s own when you’re “crazy” busy. One way to experience life fully is to slow down to speed-up. Slowing down to speed up may sound counter-intuitive. Yet, it works! It’s like having your own “magic” button that stops time in order for you to catch-up, re-organize and re-gain focus on what’s important. The inspired action steps seem to fall into place once you slow down.
Allow your creative genius to flow (YES, you have it) and assist you in identifying priorities to create an action plan. Get out paper, colored pens and highlighters to create a list or a mind map. 
If you prefer to use mind-mapping software there are options: Freemind (it’s easy to use and comes with a tutorial) and SimpleMind, a free iPad app.
It’s important to get everything out of your mind, off tiny scraps of paper and onto one sheet. Once you’ve created your list of “projects,” outline the steps and identify items that need to be addressed immediately (add completion dates & use color codes to prioritize).
You’re almost there. Here’s an essential practice: tune into what you want the outcome to look and feel like. In your mind’s eye play out the scene and picture everything being completed with ease. (That’s how you want it, right?) Move forward confidently knowing you’ve got a plan that will take you to the finish line!
Speak Your Mind . . . I’d love to hear the practices you use to slow-down to speed-up.

There’s a major shift or change, taking place in the world and it’s no longer “business as usual.” In the ever-changing business landscape, transformational leaders have become the way-showers. Transformational leaders operate from a win/win mindset focused on contribution versus a competitive mindset focused on survival.
Each of us is a leader in our own unique way. It can be in our family, community, organization, nation, or in worldwide innovation. I believe we’re destined for more than we can imagine. “There is a space for you in the world with your name on it . . . and your part is the lead part. No matter who you are, it’s the lead. Because only you can play it, and without you it doesn’t happen.” ~ Flo Aeveia Magdalena, author of I Remember Union 
It’s amazing how far we’ve come with video technology. In the recent past you needed expensive equipment, editing software, and technical expertise to produce a professional looking video. That’s all changed. There’s a simple and easy way to create your own professional looking videos for your coaching, consulting, and healing practice – especially if you learn from great teachers.

On April 1st of 2010 (yes, April's Fools Day), I left corporate America (after 30 plus years in the electric utility industry) to venture out on my own. Initially, a very scary thought. Now that I've made the leap, all kinds of interesting things are happening . . .
