Several years ago my Mother looked me the eye from her deathbed and commanded with a whisper, “Go for it! Take your message to the masses. Promise me.” I responded, “I promise Mom.” And then she died. With this deathbed promise I embarked on a mission to change the world one life at a time.
For decades I have privately sold the messages of hope and possibility of my S.C.O.R.E. System to the rich and famous. The 90-Second Rule has been one of many tools I created to offer simplicity and balance in one’s life.
The 90-Second Rule has been a “moment of truth” for many men and women. The results from this rule have produced an “aha” awareness on how one can easily impact relationships.
Recently, I embarked on a world speaking tour with a biotech company and a marketing services company called Fortegra. I stopped in Melbourne, Singapore, Milan, Barcelona, Tenerife (Canary Islands), Miami and Jacksonville then home to Chicago. It was the positive and overwhelming reception of the 90-Second Rule from all of my S.C.O.R.E. System tools that made me realize the world needed this information. I immediately thought of my deathbed promise to take my message to the masses.
Although I have received positive feedback from the use of the 90-Second Rule for many years, it was my world trip and the coaching of the husband and wife team of Bob and Dawn Davis that spawned the movie.
Bob and Dawn both expressed awesome results from being fully engaged while seeing their other family members during the first 90 seconds.
Bob is one of the best photographers in the world. Period! He has worked with Oprah and Harpo Studios. His other credits include shooting the weddings of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker in Paris as well as Eddy Murphy in Bora Bora. In addition, he just finished shooting Salma Hayek’s wedding in Vienna. He’s even shot the grand opening of Tyler Perry’s movie studio.
When Bob showed me a short movie he shot about a barge company on a canal near Chicago, I was stunned by his images and skill. Bob can make anything look awesome! This “aha” moment caused me to ask if he’d like to shoot a movie on the 90-Second Rule. Bob didn’t hesitate as he said, “Absolutely.”
The raw footage was shot in one day and delivered to the awesome editor Anton Lorimer and the movie was born.
Why the movie? My mother believed that all of us need this message. I believe she was right. We do!
The movie is dedicated to the memory of my mother:

How to Connect in Marriage Without a Hammer and Nail
A client once asked: “How can I get my husband to consider emotionally connecting as a valuable tool to keep our marriage strong?”
Lets be clear on some examples of emotionally connecting:
* Spending time together – listening to music, going for walks, talking, laughing
* Creating a loving environment – eating dinner together, playing games together, talking about things you’re grateful for and include your family members
* Being mentally present – listening to what the other person is saying and affirming what is true for them
* Staying focused on each other – clearly the eyes and ears need to be engaged
* Uplifting each other – asking “what can I do for my spouse today”

Finding Balance in Your Marriage
As a mommy, blogger, life coach, change management consultant, daughter, student, and friend (I’ll stop here but my list can go on and on) it is difficult to find that essential quality time to spend with my husband. I guarantee that I am not alone.
I am a strong believer in having my marriage be part of my practice of life balance. Because our lives are so busy and because we have two children under the age of six, it is probably the area within my practice of life balance where I struggle the most.
Public Speaking Training and Effective Presentation Skills
I believe one of the best models for effective presentation skills is the act of giving directions to someone who has stopped her car, leaned out the window, and said, “How do I get to Bloomfield Avenue?”
If you’re standing in front of your house, and you know how to get to the desired location (your own version of Bloomfield Avenue) you immediately envision the route you would take. In the milli-second before you speak, your brain flies over the road map in your head, your eyes may very well look in the direction of Bloomfield Avenue, and your arm involuntarily will rise up and point in the desired direction.

Winning Out Over Negative Thoughts Once and For All
One of our spoiled rotten cats, Alexa (pictured above), loves bird watching almost as much as I do. My husband fills the bird feeders and I set seed on the ground for the ground feeders, then Lexie and I get lost in the parade of doves, cardinals, robins, blue birds, blackbirds, etc.
Every now and then, a bird will land on the ledge of one of our dining room or kitchen windows. Yesterday morning, the craziest thing happened. I was at the dining room table on my laptop, sidetracked by a couple of the brightest cardinals in the world enjoying the seed on the ground. Alexa was in another room, swatting around one of her leftover plastic eggs from Easter (I told you she was spoiled).
19 Ways to Build and Improve Your Self-Confidence
One of the main issues that has held me back from achieving my goals in the past has been an underlying fear of failure stemming from lack of self-confidence. I’ve always been an idea generator, and often had no problems starting projects, but when I got about half way through, I lost momentum.
Rather than persevering and finishing things, I tended to direct my attention elsewhere and started something new, leaving me with numerous unfinished projects and little to show for my efforts. It was my own form of self-sabotage – I always felt like I was spinning my wheels but never getting anywhere.
How to Stop Procrastinating: 7 Timeless Tips
“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.”
Spanish Proverb“How soon ‘not now’ becomes ‘never’.”
Martin Luther“A year from now you may wish you had started today.”
Karen LambOne of the most common problems is procrastination. We know what we want to do and should do. But still we end up spending hours upon hours doing “easier” work or escaping via TV, blogs or music.
Now, nothing wrong with a little escape from time to time. But if you procrastinate too much you will not get the most important things done. And you will also send yourself into negative spirals where your self-esteem plummets and you spend your days or more in a vague negative funk.
So what can you do? Here are 7 timeless tips to help you to stop procrastinating and start living your life more fully.
Play Ball!
I’m pumped about spring training with my clients for 2009. I see great things for Carlos Delgado, Alex Cora, Javier Vasquez, Casey Blake and Mike Cameron.
I love this time of year. It definitely reminds me of when I was a kid playing Little League ball. If you’re anywhere near a spring training site, it’s the best time to see your favorite team or players. They are fan-friendly, up-close and the atmosphere is the best ever.
A dog… a beer… and a day game… what could be better!
Play Ball!
