My Latest New Habit
I have always been driven by the need to improve; myself, my dogs, my students, the world, whatever. Recent I have taken up a new habit which I would like to share because it has been a good one for me. On and off in [...]
A Very Deep Sleep and Other Random Thoughts
Home from Finland late yesterday. John and I went out for supper then I went to bed at 7:30 and didn't wake up until 5 AM. I think I needed the rest. Normally I am a very light sleeper, last night I don't remember John [...]
Creating a Learning Environment
It was hard to leave home again last Wednesday to head to my current teaching post in Finland, especially hard to leave Buzzy. Although he is much better I can’t help but feel the stress of me leaving may be contributing to his distress, but [...]
Pay Truth Forward
Okay since I wrote about asking John to lie to me yesterday I thought I would share with you information about a presenter I met at Tony Robbin's workshop in Orlando a few weeks ago. His name is Gary King. He had a unique presentation [...]
A Neccessary Untruth
So John and I have had this agreement when I go away to teach. It is that he will lie to me. I think it may be unfair to him, but he doesn't complain and luckily he has rarely had to lie. So the agreement [...]

The Best Plans
Well, I was hoping not to leave the blog empty this week but wow, time flies. I did have time (with a great deal of help from Lynda) to get a couple of new workshops posted on the website. If you haven't checked yet, do [...]
Stressed?
So the weekend was fun (in my opinion anyway). It was my first (but I don't think my last) Creating Your Trial Stress State workshop. I executed more than 20 (some little and some big) stressors over the weekend (that I planned) and [...]
Creating the Perfect TSS
So, I have a workshop this weekend that I have never taught before. I can't really go into too many details because I know some participants read my blog. In order for this curriculum to be successful, it needs to be mysterious and scary:). The [...]
Shaping and Stuff
Wrapping up some lose ends here. First of all thanks to everyone that contributed to the Shaping Challenge. I hope you all had fun and learned lots. I did promise I would reinforce one of you so the winner is . . . Chelsea and [...]
Olympic Thoughts
What a great hockey game on Sunday afternoon eh? Those pesky Americans just wouldn't go away. With the age and the talent of that US squad I think the future of international hockey in the mens league has now turned the page to become as [...]
