How much easier would it be for you to focus on your target if all the clutter were cleared away? 

If deadlines and stress, piles of paperwork and to-do lists magically disappeared. Imagine if you could devote all of your time to the pursuit of one major goal. And once that was achieved, all your time, energy and resources could be focused on the next major goal...and so on. You would be so much more productive and we all would be achieving our goals at a more predictable pace.

Well reality usually sets in and we realize that we do still have deadlines and stress, piles of paperwork and to-do lists, and our family and career obligations, plus our social endeavors. But what if we could free up some time - even if it's just 15, 30 or 45 minutes a day? What could you accomplish with those accumulated minutes over the course of a week, a month, a quarter or the next year? The simple answer...a lot!

So I'm going to suggest that you do a little Spring Cleaning - for your VISION....

Happy New Year!  I hope that all of your holiday wishes came true.  Hopefully you spent some time with your loved ones making new memories.  I know I did.  My husband and I took our children to New York and spent a week with my family for Christmas.  We took the train into the city, saw the tree, stopped to eat, went ice skating in Central Park, ate again, exchanged lots of presents and ate some more.  We talked, and laughed and reminisced.  We told stories and played games.  Everyone had such a wonderful time that I have to place one special item on the top of this year’s list of New Year’s Resolutions.

Many years ago, before college and grad school, before staff meetings and business lunches, before children’s activities and homeschool demands, I thought I had life figured out.  Back then, if you had asked what was most important to me, I would’ve answered you in a second.  “Happiness,” I’d...

Work hard, be strong, pick yourself up when you fall down, don’t show your flaws and do not let others know if you are hurting; this was my German upbringing.  In many aspects it has served me well over my life, and in other ways it has the potential to be limiting.   In a society where women are often viewed as being too emotional to be powerful and successful, left in check, this mantra could easily become very restrictive.    

Restrictive you say?  One would think it would give me the capacity to be more “polished and shiny” when I am on stage.  The problem is, I am a very emotional person at my core and being “polished” is not congruent with my soul.   The times where I tried to be “polished” while delivering my message were the times that I shined the least!

All of us have stories that we carry with...

Is there anything sweeter than being snuggled up with your babies? Feeling their little bodies wiggle around in their sleep, listening to their every breath? It’s such a beautiful experience that I almost missed out on.

I had every intention of sharing our bedroom with our baby when our first baby was due in 2008. We had no plans to set up a nursery; I constantly joked that the newborn could sleep in a dresser drawer in our room – after all – it was bigger than my womb. As a baby gift, my parents built an addition on our home to make room for a nursery. When I was 36 weeks pregnant, my sister came to visit bearing gifts – one gift was a crib, which her husband was kind enough to set up for us.  At 41 weeks, my mother put all of the sheets and bumpers in the crib and showed me how to drop the sides. The rocking chair was set up, curtains were hung, clothes were neatly arranged in the dresser. The dresser, by the way, was a handmade gift from the...

Everyone has something they are good at. I am good at being with the person or persons directly in front of me. I engage with them during the time we have together.  I want for them to leave our exchange with more energy then they had coming into it. You could say I am a confident introvert, and I love customer service. In my profession customer service is a big deal! Maybe it is a big deal in every industry? 

There are tons of things that go into quality service, personal service and customer service. But the thing that ties all this service together is the people you serve! In chiropractic listening to the practice member and really giving it your all to over deliver is my best advice. 

Acquiring this skill has taken many years. I have been in sales forever! Here is a quick rundown: My first job was at a drive-thru, and you better believe you had to pay attention to the orders through the speaker! I have managed a skate shop. I sold shoes, suitcases and eye-wear. I...

“I decided to stop, just like that.”  Dr. Denise Chranowski

One day I said to my mentor and coach, “I want to be a better example to my sons and I know I’m setting a bad example with drinking.”  My coach said that I should stop if I want to stop for me, not for my sons and then he said, “I know one day I’ll stop drinking. I’m just not sure when that day will be.”

It hit me square between the eyes.  It seemed so crystal clear. The day for me had arrived, August 7, 2017.  I stopped drinking all alcohol, my beloved chardonnay and sweet cosmos became a thing of the past.  I knew in my heart that this was a permanent decision. I also wanted to cement the decision. I found two books on Amazon and downloaded them to my Kindle.  I didn’t want this to be painful. I just wanted it to be permanent. I didn’t want to have to attend meetings. I didn’t want to make this a big deal. I just wanted...
