Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dive in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your ‘backstory’ and what brought you to this particular career path?
I was a software engineer for many years, and owned and ran J.F. Positive Systems from 1985 to 2006. During my consulting years, I read a lot of books and went to classes and seminars on the topics of personal development, spirituality, psychology, metaphysics, and natural healing modalities. For the last 10 years of that time, I had the intuitive push that I was supposed to do something different than developing software. I explored many different avenues and nothing seemed quite right until I discovered the coaching world. I instantly knew that coaching was the path that I had been looking for.
You are a successful business leader. Which three character traits do you think were most instrumental to your success? Can you please share a story or example for each?
As a software analyst/designer/developer, you need to be able to look at the big picture (the system) and also drill down into the details (bits and bytes). Honestly, I’m not sure how to define those capabilities as a “character trait”, however I know those abilities have served me well in both software and coaching.
I have been told that I am tenacious (definitely a character trait!). Something I noticed about people that have not succeeded is that they start a lot of things, but they don’t finish. I am a “finisher”. I finish what I start.
I believe that my ability to find and nurture talent in others has helped me to be a great leader. Being able to confidently delegate important tasks to others is vital to growing any business. I know how to encourage and motivate others to step into their greatness.
How have habits played a role in your success? Can you share some success habits that have helped you in your journey?
(Mind and Spirit) Meditation: I believe that tapping into your life purpose and staying true to your heart are very important motivators. Meditation helps to clear the minutia from your mind so you can discover and focus on what is most important.
(Body) Exercise: Body movement, whether walking, dancing or exercising; body movement is one of the keys to good health. I make it a habit to take at least a 10-minute walk 3 to 4 times a day.
(Heart) I also do something fun regularly. For instance, recently we took my family on a whale watching trip! Doing something creative feeds my spirit and soul with laughter and joy. I laugh a lot!
This will be intuitive to you but it will be helpful to spell this out directly. Can you help explain a few reasons why it is so important to create good habits? Can you share a story or give some examples?
To me, having a good habit is a demonstration of the ability to be consistent. When you are consistent and congruent with your actions and words, people can rely on you.
