Recently I was caught in a lockdown and confined to a hotel room in Manila. In that time I created a few videos to help you deal with Coronavirus and its impact on you, your organization and those near to you.

The intent is to ensure that we all make it through the COVID-19 concern as unscathed as possible, on both personal and professional fronts.

The subsequent videos will take you through:

• Video 1 - The cause of “Panic” thinking

• Video 2 - Simple strategies to calm emotions and thinking

• Video 3 - Leverage a difficult situation into resilience for the future

If this is showing up in your life, and you want to change it - you may want some support in designing a way forward. Coaching can help

Welcome to a one minute overview of our services.

Transformers aren't just fictional characters. They are all of us. Some transformations are physical. (currently I am going through a bit of a shoulder rebuild). These external changes are interesting. Your physical transformation may be by design as in starting a great exercise regimen. Or it may be physical where your body is responding to absence of exercise or healthy diet.

I recently spoke with a client who believed she was too young for her recent promotion. Although senior management desired her freshness and creativity from this new perspective, her belief was that she lacked the experience of those she managed.
