Working with Bob Bates

Here is a short video that describes my approach to coaching my clients.  You'll also get a brief history of our Resolve Today came about and what we hoped to achieve with our programs.  Thanks for watching!!

When Attacks Come From All Sides

Wouldn't it be great if we only had to work on one problem at a time?  What if all of our friends, family, co-workers, bosses and partners just knew how to stand in line and wait their turn?  Nice idea huh?  Of course our lives aren't like that at all.  The good news is that when we're centered or at least know how to get back to center, we can deal with all sorts of issues more calmly, productively and sometimes, even with grace.  I've found that my Aikido practice and the work of Conscious Embodiment has had a profound effect on my ability to deal with these "multiple life attacks" in the best way possible.

An Introduction to the Kolbe Method Part II

This is the wrap-up on the first Kolbe Introduction video.  You get to find out about the "product" the team came up with and learn how Kathy Kolbe's prediction on how each of the participants would move into action was complete "spot on".  This is part of some of the fun onsite work that I do with the Kolbe and The Team Performance Workshop.

An Introduction to the Kolbe Method

Here is a brief introduction to the Kolbe method of full engagement. I use this assessment with my clients with great results.

Part 2 of the video shows you the "product" the team came up with. I make a brief cameo in this segment - my "5 seconds of fame".  Find out more about the Kolbe Wisdom and How to Love Your work.

Samurai Emotional Intelligence

A good friend of mine sent me the link to this clip a few months ago.  It is a very inspiring story told by Ram Dass as told to him by Terry Dobson. Terry Dobson was one of the first and only Americans to train directly with the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba.  This is a true example of Aikido in Action.  No, this is not a video of anyone getting thrown around.  I'll post those another time.  Instead, this is an example of real emotional intelligence and how the power of kindness is just as effective as any martial art.

Ball Meditation

Some of you may remember the movie of the same name, which shows in great detail, how quickly you can steal a car.  While most of hopefully won’t experience the stress of having our car disappear on us, we are all likely to experience stress on a daily basis.  This can be a good or bad thing, depending on the type and level of stress.  We all have our own personal definition of stress and wha
