Read through to the gift below to share this Thanksgiving. Enjoy! Are you irritable and bug eyed with the notion there will probably be no vegan dishes at the Thanksgiving dinner table for you?

PLAY
Play is becoming serious business. A few years ago the New York Times had a cover story about play in their Sunday magazine titled “Taking Play Seriously?”. The pictures only show children. Where were the adults? Somewhere along the way we have lost something in our culture. Play. It’s time to consciously and deliberately bring […]

Have Self-Compassion For Your Mistakes
Life Is Messy! Yep! Life can be a real bummer sometimes. Sometimes, we make mistakes, we screw up and then things really get messy. We are doing the best we can, we think “I got this” and then we drop the ball. I know it is hard to believe but this has happened to me. […]

Burning Building
Where Are You On the Trust-O-Meter? Over the last couple of years I have had the incredible opportunity to work with many women leaders. There is something that comes up often. And it’s bugging me. It goes something like this:

CoachDarla Blog – I’M ON A ROLL!
How are those resolutions coming along? I AM ON A ROLL! I was prepping for the Vision Mapping Playshop this weekend by updating MY vision board and here is where I am at… In just three weeks things are already paying off.

Zip-Zip Along
Zippity-Do-Da! A while back, I had an opportunity to step up and step out. Literally. I climbed a 30 foot ladder, stepped off a platform and zipped through the air to the ground with applause and yells of encouragement echoing in my ears. You should have been there. It was a real hoot. At least […]

Busyholism
“I’M TOO BUSY” You know you are too busy when: • Your dog has figured out how to walk itself • You shout “hurry up” at the microwave • You eliminate moisturizer from your nightly routine to shave 20 seconds off your day • You offer more money to your trainer to skip your work […]

Olympics and Leadership
STUCKIFIED Sniff. Sniff. The 2012 Summer Olympics have come and gone. Like many people, I was glued to the TV like white on rice. Whatever. You get my drift. Youth from all over the globe showed up and suited up. The best of the best. Everyone was there. Catherine. William. Harry. The Queen. I couldn’t […]

Giddy Up, Jack Sparrow!
Your blind spot. The area where your view is obstructed. The loss of vision. What are you pretending not to see about yourself? What part of yourself have you forgotten about? Do others know something about you that you don’t know? What’s the secret? Our blind spots are waiting to be uncovered. We don’t see […]

HOW IS YOUR ENERGY?
As I write this I am at the ABWA National Conference in Irving, Texas. The women I have met are full of pizazz and energy. I think I am in Goddess Heaven! I have met gurus in academia, head honchos of corporations, ladies in multi-level marketing businesses and other business owners, women who work in […]

What would Liz say??
Dame Elizabeth Taylor who recently passed away at the age of 79, was a Goddess wasn’t she? You sure don’t question what she stood for. What images are conjured when you think of her? Special. She exuded pure sexuality (think Cleopatra and Richard Burton), enduring love (Richard again – and many others) and deep friendship […]

Failure to Launch
“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” – Joseph Campbell I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I was cranky and totally frustrated with everything and everybody. As the day wore on I only […]

My View on the Coaching Industry
The years have swooshed by since I embarked on my coaching journey 10 years ago. It just doesn’t seem possible that all that time has gone by. But when I think about all the change that’s happened in the past decade, the attack on the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, the demise of […]

Leaders Need Coaching More Than Ever
The rules in corporate America have changed – sometimes there don’t even seem to be rules. The structure, the security, the traditional paths to success don’t exist anymore, and people are looking to leaders for answers. How can leaders set an example when employees are looking for direction and guidance? How can they guide their […]
