Don’t Get Scrooged This Holiday

Could you imagine throwing a holiday dinner party and not preparing for it? I mean, just imagine: It’s December 24th. There’s a knock on the door. Your family arrives all dressed up for a party and you are lying on the sofa watching a rerun of “Grey’s Anatomy,” in your sweats. (Not even your good […]

The Conversation That Changed My Life

I believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. And, I mean ALL. From health to love to money to community to learning to fun and adventure to spirituality, etc. But, obviously, some areas get a little more attention than others, like love, career and money. While others, like, LEARNING, get practically no […]

How I Became A Painter

Anyone who has spent time with me recently may have noticed a few errant flecks of color under my fingernails, or a smudge of dried paint on my sleeve. This is par for the course now that I have added “painter” and “artist” to the list of things I love to be! I paint nearly […]

Are We Having Fun Yet?

When it comes to having fun, I really have to push myself. Doesn’t that sound silly? It’s not that I don’t have fun; I consider my job quite fun and adventurous! And I take great pleasure in eating and playing with my kids, too. But can’t you hear a bit of “arrested development” in this […]

Take Yourself to Summer School

“I always wanted to learn the guitar. Maybe THIS summer.” Or…. maybe not. It’s a shame how quickly we dismiss our heartfelt dreams and relegate them to the “someday” bucket list. Why is that? We have many reasonable-sounding excuses. Work is hectic, there’s never enough time, the kids, the spouse, etc. Reasonable, sure. But not […]

Be Awesomely Single

So, your last relationship ended a few months ago, and you feel ready to step out again. You’re over the hurt feelings, you dealt with your part gracefully and maturely, and you even learned a lot along the way. It’s empowering to know that you can put any situation in the rear view mirror, and […]

Learn Something New this Summer

At Handel Group®, we believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. Now, some areas get extra attention like love, career, body, and family. While others get no love at all. At the top of the neglected list is LEARNING. Learning is important in life but most of us consider it a chore […]

Be So Unlike You

Going to Burning Man was so “unlike me.” I like order, cleanliness and accomplishment. It’s not about any of that. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BURNING MAN? It’s a week-long gathering of somewhere around 50,000 people, in the middle of a Nevada desert, that come together to socially experiment with self-expression. Everything you bring in you […]

Making Sure Your Vacation Doesn’t Suck

My vacation was mostly great, but I made one mistake. First I’ll tell you what I designed well and then what I didn’t. My hope is that I catch you before you leave for your vacations and help you design them, so you maximize relaxing and having fun with your loved ones. This is an […]

Be Unlike Yourself

 When we give people the “18 Areas of Life” assignment (part of The Handel Method®) there are always a few areas that stump people. Let me explain. We start coaching with a thorough assessment of your dreams and current reality in all the areas of your life. The “areas” include Body, Love, Career, Money, Time, […]
