I had the privilege of hearing David Briscoe speak at the Kushi Institute Summer Conference on macrobiotics last week. I didn’t know when I walked into his classroom how coaching and macrobiotics might relate to each other. (Had I known, I would have taken the conference as a business deduction!) But his talk made it crystal clear.
His topic–Women’s Health: Heal Your Liver and Transform Your Health–addressed issues such as PMS, ovarian cancer, breast health problems, thyroid problems, digestive problems, emotional disturbances and more. His experience in treating women is that these dis-eases are attributable to liver ki (or chi) stagnation. He had my attention. In coaching, I often hear clients say “I’m feeling stuck” which David mentioned as a presenting symptom.
Where it totally hit home was when he got to the ways to relieve the ki stagnation. The #1 recommendation was this –
Find what it is that you truly want to do and do it with all your heart and without hesitation.
Helping clients figure out and do what they really want is the heart and soul of coaching. What a privilege to work with people to not only grow their businesses, but also improve their health.

I received a gracious tweak from a colleague that I wanted to share. She’d noticed a misspelled word on my website and wanted to call it to my attention. Here’s how she put it:
“Just wanted you to know, as I am sure you’re a perfectionist, that your Canyon Ranch description is misspelling the word Exclusive Retreat. Look carefully and you’ll notice the letter “c” is missing in the word exclusive. It’s like spinach in your teeth… I thought you’d like to know!”
She’s so right. It’s now correct. And what a nice way to make herself memorable.
