Check your aliveness meter.

Is it in the red zone? Does it read "Losing Energy"? "Dangerously Depleted"? "Running on Empty"?

 Do you give your all to your organization, your family, your calling--and wonder if there's anything left for YOU?

I know you. I understand what it is to chase someone else's definition of success. I'm a personal and business coach who was once a highly-driven, successful international sales exec. I commuted and worked 60-hour weeks and served on more nonprofit boards than I can remember. I was good at my job, and I rose fast. I was caught up in the allure of a certain way of having success; someone else's way.

One night during the rat race, I stayed at a Taipei hotel that had just hosted Michael Jackson. The thought "I've really arrived" was quickly followed by a deeper truth of, "And, I'm missing my kids' basketball games." My life was totally out of balance and I could no longer ignore it. Something had to give.

So I took a long, deliberate look at what was important to me and I did extensive research about how to live a life that's full, rich and sustainable. During quiet reflection, I heard my true nature, speaking, calling me home, calling me to restore myself and live life with self-defining moments- choice guided by my values and what mattered most to me.

This period of reflection and soul-searching led me to become a personal coach. Today I work with heart-centered professionals, healers, and leaders--people who give of themselves every day--to help them find that balance. And to find themselves again.

You have a noble place, a noble purpose, something lovely to pursue. Slow the chase, sit for a while, we'll find calm amidst the chaos. Join me in the adventure of returning your aliveness meter to the green zone.
