This week's edition of iCoach is an exploration into the unshakable belief that some people have what it takes to succeed - no matter what. Psychologists refer to it as self-efficacy and there are four factors that go into the forming of one's beliefs regarding their own self-efficacy. I will also give you several examples of those who succeeded despite the odds that will demonstrate the old adage "If at first you don't succeed" and will also let you know that you're not alone and you're in good company!

My Rules: this week's edition of iCoach is about creating your own rules to live by and becoming aware of any self-imposed rules that govern your life. Some you you may not even be aware and don't serve you, but wind up totally controlling your choices and actions. There is so much power in knowing, claiming and living by your own rules because if you don't know what you stand for... you'll fall for anything. This is the kind of stuff that builds character, integrity and not only helps you develop self-respect, but will gain you the respect and admiration of others.

This week's iCoach is a guided beach meditation that will help you find your innermost buried treasure and connect to your highest self. This week, rather than my voice as part of the introduction, you will hear just the introductory music and then the mediation will begin. That way you can listen to the meditation just before bed without any extra words to disrupt your serenity.

This week's edition of iCoach is about the power of "I" statements. You will learn about identifying and communicating your feelings and emotions by utilizing the statement "I feel" and then fill in the blank. We will also explore the difference and unique purpose of each of the following types of "I" statements: I am... I can... I will.

This week's edition of iCoach is about doing the right thing. In this recording, I share a touching story about a kid who just did the right thing. We only have to pick up a newspaper or watch tv to see what's wrong with kids today. But if like attracts like and your thoughts determine your experience, doesn't it make sense to start focusing on the right stuff? Try practicing in small ways and then watch the ripple effect in your life and in the lives of others.

This week's edition of iCoach is about stress and teens. In this edition, you will learn a powerful concept from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People called Sharpening the Saw. It is so easy to get caught up in society's mantra of "bigger, better, faster, more" and we end up becoming human doings instead of human beings. When we are reminded to stop and sharpen the saw, we can then renew and restore our energy and power and become even more effective in our tasks.

This week's edition of iCoach is about the power of creating your own Sacred Space. It is a place that you claim and it's like a GIANT shout out to the Universe that says "I am here and in this space I claim my power!"

This week's edition of iCoach is all about managing stress. There is a lot of information crammed into this 9 minute segment. There are several important components to managing your stress; first you need to get to know yourself and figure out how you react to stress, next you need to create a plan for your life and decide who you are and the kind of person you want to be, then you need to begin to figure out what is within your control and what is not and then lastly you need to have tools at hand to get you back on track when inevitably you'll be blown off course by events, people and situations that are not within your control.

This week's edition of iCoach is about Emotional Eating. Let's face it, we've all done it... and it never works. What may give us a quick fix or a temporary relief from our intense emotions, only makes matters worse when we get even angrier with ourselves for overeating. This issue of iCoach describes the 12 types of Emotional Hunger (from the book Mastering Food. "The 12 Types of Emotional Hunger." By Roger Gould, M.D.) and will teach you a tool called the Emotional Freedom Technique developed by Gary Craig.

This week's edition of iCoach is all about self-talk and how to recognize the voice of your inner critic. You will learn a powerful tool called The 3 C's to help you disarm your inner critic so that it will no longer be running the show. What you think about becomes your reality - which means it is so important to learn how to harness the power of your mind to attract what you want into your life.
