Starting Over

Published by Tom Volkar under Getting Unstuck | Email This Post Email This Post | 2,537 views

goldpan11I get occasional emails from desperate readers who think they have totally screwed up their lives. They think they can’t afford to hire me as their coach but they reach out hoping for help.

Off Kilter, Pissed and Real

Published by Tom Volkar under Relationships | Email This Post Email This Post | 1,992 views

sunburst_space1Life speaks to us all the time. Mine wouldn’t let me sleep last night. I had some unexpressed anger to feel, so I got up at 4 AM and wrote it out. My favorite anger release is to go outside and play “Little John” by smacking some dead trees with my staff, but it’s too damn cold for that.

Time to Walk Away?

Published by Tom Volkar under Life Coaching | Email This Post Email This Post | 1,055 views

One of the most challenging aspects of career transitioning from work that feels like work, to work that you love, is temporarily letting go of the money. It’s just as challenging, when you’re already self-employed and transitioning from an established income stream to one that’s more delightful but temporarily less lucrative.

Screw-ups, Fresh Starts & Comebacks

Published by Tom Volkar under Getting Unstuck | Email This Post Email This Post | 859 views

Wouldn’t it be a better strategy to give up on perfection and simply allow the screw-ups to occur?
