The best advice I’ve learned from my clients is: “It doesn’t matter how old you are, it matters what you do at the age you’re at.” “Stop waiting for the perfect timing, because most likely if that perfect timing hits something else will come up.” “When things don’t go our way we become upset, but we don’t see the bigger picture.” Read more>>

Together we’ve explored how her Enneagram Type provides both strengths and liabilities in her leadership style. We’ve landed on several principles to ground and guide her in her interactions with those she leads. These are universal leadership fundamentals. Read more>>
