It’s cliché to be sure, but I just can’t resist writing about creating change at the beginning of a new year.
There is so much possibility and potential. There is a buzz, an energy that can usher in a wave of focus and motivation. It can be exciting to kick start new goals and make this “your best year yet”.

I was asked recently to articulate the biggest change I've experienced as a result of understanding the Three Principles Paradigm. In this 3 minute video I do my best to capture what I think has made the biggest impact on my life and the lives of my clients: Our Capacity For Insight. This understanding helped me see I could live life more freely

“Now put your toes over the edge of the platform, reach out, and grab the bar with your hands. I’ve got you.” Ahhh really? You’ve got me? Then why don’t I feel safe?
