‘Being smart isn’t enough. Being a good person matters more.’

‘Treat your internal state like a space you’re curating. Is it cluttered or clear?

‘Know your delta. Let your bottom be a springboard for growth, not a weakness.’

‘Look for gratitude in your reactions– especially when things don’t go your way.’

‘Practice kindness as an energy tool, not just a social gesture.’

‘Forgiveness is freedom- from ego, resentment, and regret.’

‘Visualize your desired outcomes and trace them back to empowering beliefs.’

‘Rest isn’t laziness- it’s preparation. Schedule moments that realign your mindset, body, and spirit.’

‘Don’t give from emptiness. Refill your cup so your contribution flows from joy, not guilt.’

‘A grateful life isn’t a perfect life- it’s a practiced one.’

‘See each mistake as a stepping stone, not a stop sign. … Failure often precedes greatness.’

‘Learn the lesson, then move forward. Reflection brings growth; rumination brings stagnation.’

‘Life is unpredictable. Stay grounded in your values and adaptable in your actions.’

‘When they trust your intentions, your direct observations and questions will have the desired impact.’

‘Your openness, caring, and curiosity make it possible for a different truth, belief, or understanding to emerge.’

‘Presence allows you to have an awareness of what is occuring in yourself, in the person you are with, and in the space between you.’

‘If you are truly there to help a person think, you must let her thoughts have a mind of their own. Remain open and curious to what will unfold.’

‘When the person’s view of reality makes a distinct shift, have the person articulate what he or she now believes to be true.’

‘Try to keep your head, heart, and gut open and balanced while you listen. When you feel uncomfortable, however, speak and listen more deeply from your gut. When you feel impatient or begin to judge the person, focus on reopening your heart.’

‘Honor a person’s silence with your own. The mind is at work.’

‘Formulate your questions based on what the other person tells you, what you sense he or she is leaving out, and what you sense is triggering his emotions and driving his behavior.’

‘Remember, you aren’t there to fix her, convince her, or make her wrong. Do not slip into evaluating what should be true and real.’

‘To put a closure on the conversation, end by asking if he needs further support and how he would like to follow up with you.’
