Philosophy

INSPIRE, INFORM, TRANSFORM

Larry Ackerman, an internationally recognized consultant and the author of The Identity Code, believes that for us to create value in the world, we must first recognize our own individual identity. He suggests that the way to do this is to complete the following sentence: “My purpose and passion in life is to __________________.”

The notion of identity struck a chord with me and I have devoted considerable time to uncovering my own identity. The result of the  search for my identity is the completion of Ackerman’s sentence and the tagline of my web site: My purpose and passion in life is to Inspire, Inform, and Transform. My identity is grounded in my desire to help you produce positive, meaningful, and long-lasting change in your life. These three steps are essential for creating that change.

Step #1: Inspire

The first step in my work is to help you find the inspiration to commit the time, energy, and effort necessary to produce your desired change. Inspiration is the starting point because, without the determination to endure the sometimes long and difficult process of change and to overcome its inevitable plateaus, setbacks, and failures, real change will not occur. But inspiration alone isn’t sufficient to produce life change.

Step #2: Inform

The next step in my work involves my providing you with the information you need to make the wished-for changes in your life. Whether deep insights about “what makes you tick” or practical knowledge about how to change, when you gain the information you need, you put yourself in a position where you are prepared to not only begin the process of change, but also to succeed. But inspiration and information only set the stage for change.

Step #3: Transform

The final step in my work is, as they say, “where the rubber meets the road,” meaning it is here that you take action to begin the transformation of your life. You set clear goals and create and initiate a plan of action that propels you toward the life you wish for. This stage is the most difficult because you are challenging years of unhealthy living, yet it is also the most fulfilling because your efforts are rewarded with the positive transformation that you have sought for so long. Because of your own efforts, you are seeing your life change for the better and, as a client once said to me, “I realized that I would never have to go back to the way I used to live my life, and I have never been so happy!”

What are You Looking For?

What do you want out of your life? Success? Happiness? Love? If you’re like many people I work with, you want a great deal out of life. You know you want to achieve particular goals and build a fulfilling life, but you may not be sure precisely what that life looks like or how to create it.
