I'm seriously giddy about this episode.  I can't wait to share Jeff Arthur with you! Jeff is a life and values coach and he is the first coach I ever worked with! Jeff helped me become aware of so many things and his coaching completely changed the trajectory of my life... in the very best way!  I was in Senior Living when I met Jeff and was completely stuck in many areas of my life.  I couldn't see how my beliefs and stinking thinking were keeping me there. I was very busy blaming other people for it.  Jeff helped me see how my crazy was untucked and work through my blindspots to begin creating a life I love. ..a life in alignment with who I was made to be.  The more we worked together, the more my life changed.  It was (and continues to be) the hardest work I've ever done but there is so much freedom in working through your crazy.  To be clear, I call it "crazy" but Jeff would refer to is as faulty belief systems and blindspots:)  

When I eventually chose to leave the company where I met Jeff, I became a certified coach through his company, The Values Conversation. Helping others live into their values and creating a life that is congruent with who they are, is the most rewarding work I could ever imagine doing. 

I'm just a girl sharing one of my most favorite people on this planet with YOU.

An article came out recently on from Inc. magazine about kindness and doing the right thing. I was thrilled to read the Harvard research behind this idea that people want to do the right thing.

I found through the years of leadership that when people were given permission to do the right thing...that amazing things happen.  Listen to this episode to see what I mean:)  The things I talk about here are some of my very best memories in Senior Living.
