Where Art Thou Expert in the Rough
Expert in the Rough says it all. It’s not only the title of my blog and a self proclamation but also my location. Unfortunately, being truly “In the Rough” with a major career shift in 2012…I have struggled to find my voice in regards to the “Expert in the Rough” blog.

Sometimes in life we get more attached to our stories than we get attached to a different outcome.
Do you ever get tired of hearing your own story over an over about what’s preventing you from living a better life?

The Risk

Seriously, a simple blog post…which I have written hundreds of them but I sit here in fear…Fearful that I better have something profound to share…Fearful that you will judge me for taking “A Risk” and I share another “Failed” coaching business. Fearful I will be asking for your attention...
