Lessons from “Fight Club”

I stayed home with my older son, Tony, who was sick yesterday. He was watching the movie, “Fight Club,” and called my attention to one particular scene. Holy cow, talk about the greatest Life Coaching tool ever 😉 Watch below to see how Brad Pitt’s character motivated a convenience store attendant to go after his […]

Create Your Own Opportunities ~

  Ever feel like you could really show people what you’re made of if someone would just give you the opportunity?  Well, watch this video and find out why waiting for that opportunity to fall into your lap is probably not your best plan – I’m just sayin 😉

How Many Days Left?

One of the greatest motivators for getting things done and making it count, is to realize how very little time there is in a year, a month, a day.  Do this exercise yourself and take it in.  Most people don't regret the things they HAVE done in life, but when it gets near the end, […]

What People Are Saying:

Coaching with Edie has been a very positive and motivating experience for me.  Things I kept putting off became my focus, I took action, and accomplished them very quickly with just her asking the RIGHT questions.  I have written down my goals - something I normally don't like to do - and I am seeing my goals being met on a weekly and monthly basis.  When I didn't meet a specific goal I had for the week, she completely took a positive side and we moved forward for the next week.  I knew what I wanted in my life, I just wasn't focusing or putting it to action like I am now.  Thank you Edie for your support, positive influence and the nudges from behind!

Edie really helped me gain a lot of insight into my professional and personal life. It was an eye-opening experience. I look forward to achieving some of the goals that we talked about, and I am confident that I will achieve them with Edie's support and guidance.
