Life energy flows through us like a swift stream when there is nothing to obstruct it, but various forces such as trauma, downbeat vibrations, and disappointments act like stones that impede the current.
Allow the energy to take charge of your own well-being by taking steps to unblock, correct, and enhance that flow.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

The importance of social skills is crucial.
Never have social skills been as important. Human Capital is a major success factor in today’s corporate environment.
In the personal face to face meeting, the customer expects world-class treatment. All business, regardless of size and industry, takes place between people. Your social capability, i.e. the ability to understand how your behavior affects the group dynamics and other people’s behavior, as well as the ability to adapt will give you success. Become the best version of yourself and dare to go outside the box. Invest in your and your co-workers’ ability to be present, to listen genuinely, and confirm and convey a clear and professional response based on what the client tells you and ask for.
In today’s digital world that’s huge, and a winning strategy for a successful relationship with your clients.

Imagine your encounter a problem.
Imagine you are equipped with a flashlight.
Awareness (mindfulness) is a bit like the flashlight. Whatever you direct the beam towards becomes visible in the dark. Oftentime you direct its beam toward the problem you encounter – and all the rest is in darkness.
What’s important is to widen the beam of your flashlight. By doing so, coaching may shed light on new and useful areas of you, facets and details become visible that previously had been in the dark. The focus of your awareness (mindfulness) widens. You are able to perceive other parts of your reality, re-describe how you in the past dealt with a similar situation and thus generate more options.
You have become more Mindful about your actions, observing without being caught up in it, and by not identifying with your actions you have set the stage for re-describing your problem, and focusing in on a solution – you have become aware of your expanded choices, you are now Focused on a Solution.
One very central effect of Coaching, and the Transition Coaching I do, consists of your increased self-confidence in your own ability, and trust, to master a difficult situation. Confidence is a prerequisite for taking small steps for change. The coaching creates a framework in which you, my client, become aware of your competencies and resources and are able to access them – you become aware of the competencies you previously used to master situations that were as difficult as the one at hand, re-describe, re-discover, and if you trust in yourself, you will be able to try something new and different to reach your goals (and a solution to your problem).
This is what Mindful Solution-Focused Coaching is, and that’s my approach in my Transition Coaching service I offer.

My Friends!
Yes, my blog is about to Live by Design. Have the life you want. Get the help you need @www.CoachLars.com.
Today though I like to address one specific life changing situation too many of us are facing. Either because we are in the fight ourselves or becasue we have family or friends who are.
Transitions in Life are about CHANGE and change means taking ACTION.
Today I AM asking YOU to take ACTION. Action to FIGHT CANCER.
We ALL know someone who have been affected by cancer and I’m asking you to join me in the fight, and my initiative in support of fighting cancer (www.LetsFightCancer.org).
The website http://www.LetsFightCancer.org is right now linked to my blog but my hope is to set up a website and start donating proceeds from my Transition & Retirement Coaching business (www.CoachLars.com), with the hope my initiative will spark others, businesses as well as individuals, to take up the fight.
LetsFightCancer..together!
In the meantime please consider donating to your local chapter of American Cancer Society, StandUp2Cancer or any other charity in your community or country that support our fight to prevent, cure, and defeat cancer. Forget U Cancer (www.ForgetUCancer.org) is an example of a local Beacon, NY initiativ to help raising money to families in the community with family members who are fighting cancer.
God bless!
Feel the FEAR…& do it anyway.

Everybody feels fear when dealing with something totally new in life, yet many people are out there ‘doing it’ anyway.
This must mean that fear is not the problem.
It’s how we deal with fear. How we hold the fear.
For some, they hold their fear from a place of power (their fear gives them choice, energy, and action. For others, it creates a state of shut down and they hold their fear from a place of pain (their fear makes them feel helpless, depressed, and stuck).
The cure for our fear lies in saying ‘yes’.
The phrase ‘say yes’ means ‘to agree to’ those things that Life hands to us.
Saying yes means not struggling against, but letting in the opportunities of seeing the World in new ways. On the other hand, saying no means to be a victim. ‘How could this happen to me!’
Saying no means to block, to fight, to struggle against opportunities for growth and challenge. Saying no creates tension, tiredness, wasted energy, upset feelings, – or, worse, it creates a lack of caring.
Say yes to Life. Join in. Move. Act. Write. Read. Stand up. Take a stand. Or do whatever works for you. Get involved in the process.
Become what you want to attract.
Be the kind of person you want to surround yourself with.
Be the change you want to see in others…
…and embrace FEAR in the process.
Our Fear…to “fail” Life.

Are we prisoners of our own expectations?
Are we so occupied by adding new “things” in our lives, lose weight, improve our self, strenghten our relationships, find a new partner, become “succesful”, make more money, spend more money…that we lose sight of what really matters?
Or do we chose to be in the moment and to deal with each transition/change as it happens, without feeling we have to be acknowledged by anyone for what we have, but rather for who we are?
To look inside…do soul searching…rather than focusing our efforts on “improving” our outside – looks, things, “status” measured in money and what others see and thinks.
Isn’t it how we act, what we do for ourselves AND others, that should determine our success? So look inward – do soul searching. Be in the moment. Be mindful. And stop fearing you will “fail” life. Fear not. LIVE!
There’s an angel in my room,
She lives in my head.
She keeps my calm
And she whispers to me everything I say.
There’s another me inside my head and
she has the most beautiful soul.
She is love and hope,
and she tells me
how much I care.
