I was a broken person Before...

Sitting at my desk in the wee hours of the night, my eyes dry. Blurred words hanging out on my computer screen, feeling so tired. A thought would pop but I couldn't remember what it was in the next second.  Why couldn't people just get it right the first time? Why did I feel like the world was on my shoulders?  I dreaded trying to go to sleep. I wished I didn't feel so alone  I told my mother I was in control of the thoughts in my mind. Deep down I knew this was not true. But back then, I didn't want to admit this even to myself. "I was "In Control"" I kept telling myself as I wore my "professional" always composed mask.

The phone rattled my concentration every time it rang.  It was often a problem that should not have happened in the first place. Problems - so time consuming to address. At end of day, the unchecked "to do's" on my list  staring back at me would "guilt" me. I'd sit back down again thinking "I can get this one thing done now and get a little caught up."

Inevitably, I'd lose track of time.  Got it done! Felt Good! But late once again to face the music at home.. 

At work, I kept on a mask that didn't show the inner turmoil or let onto the arguments at home. It's funny I thought how you could be a hero at work and feel like a failure at home.

Great at juggling balls in the air.  But, in the wee hours of the night, I'd get feeling like a dense, dark and heavy cloud was descending down on me. I'd have to get up so my heart would stop racing and so I didn't feel like I was being sucked under and drowning. 

I'd slide quietly back into bed but watch the hands on the clock move around and around again and reposition my pillows different ways until I fell asleep.

The stack of self-help books under my bed felt like empty promises. Then one night totally fed up, I decided there had to be a better way. I went searching.  I found teachers, mentors, healers and coaches...

I used to think of work, home and family separately. But whether it be business, quality system or more personal issues, there was a common denominator in them all. That was me. I knew I had to find the peace in just being Me. I had to find a way to inner peace, calm, assuredness in knowing who I am, who I was. I needed to keep healthy to continue to look after my family, my children. 

I realized there was a need for balance.  I have 30+ corporate years' experience that included landing my first quality management position where I got an oil and gas manufacturing company ISO 9002 Certified in a year (not having any of the stated job "qualifications"). 

I knew I needed to get deep, to the heart and soul of me, of who I was. I needed to learn how to love and be more gentle with myself. I needed to to learn how to tap into my knowing, open my heart and become more aware of me - to listen to my intuition. 

The truth and fact of the matter

Everything starts with You. Your world is a Reflection of You.  What you think about and focus on, your perspectives...this impacts what you attract into your life.  

I decided I wanted more nice synchronicities. I willed myself to make changes in how I showed up - to become more self aware and to do this with open mind.  I did this because I knew transformation was possible.

I was tired of feeling like a yo-yo on a string. I'd get myself "pumped" to go to get feeling good, only to get unwound (by something happening in life). I'd feel like I was  plummeting down a dark scary hole with my heart in my throat, and struggle to stop it by talking myself back up again, only to get taking a deep dive again... Up, down, Up and then  down again?

Do you know how this feels?  It's downright exhausting. 

Here’s the Good News...

I found my way...but then, on Christmas Day 2007, If going through that wasn't enough, I had a bad spill skiing at Kananaskis (Calgary, Alberta), tumbled head over heels landing with my right knee in a position no knee should be in.  Long story short, it took me on a spiritual healing journey that led me to discover that I had a gift of healing.  My client, psychiatrist Judy Hogan, named it "Sparkle" and since others agreed they felt "Sparkley" too, "Sparkle Sessions"  they became!

So from this all came The Sparkle Approach.  It starts with you being the CEO of You - you know, being in Total Control of All Aspects of Yourself?  If you are also a mover and shaker and  looking for  answers, tired of feeling like you're the yo-yo on a string going up and down, up and down. There IS a another, better Way! 

 Ready to open up to shift and change?  Open to Going at 'er using a new approach?

I teach my  clients how to get clarity of purpose to  feeling fulfilled in 3 Simple Steps.

ACKNOWLEDGE where you are and where you want to go, assessing objectively the gaps, get out of your own way and start creating a Life by Design and not live a Live by Default?   ACTIVATE your inner Spark as you find you have the energy and the mindset to lay out your plans, get moving with proven processes and systems so you can ACHIEVE your all, your goals and dreams with ease and flow, totally feeling fulfilled.

If the quiet alone times are your worst, you probably have Gremlins coming out to play.  They start nattering at you with all the negative thoughts. Worse is when they stir up the anxiety…the doubts... the fears.

 It starts and ends with You and your relationships with Yourself and the people around you.  How you're showing up, what you're telling yourself. 

The impossible becomes possible when you can harness your inner Divine Spark and then power up (get your mojo going) so nothing stops you.  It’s a challenge to get to that heightened peak performance level. Then, it's "How do I stay here?" Some say it's not possible... 

I say it IS.  When there's Sparkle added to the equation.

So, back to business…

Do you like to start from the top 40,000 foot view and then drill down on priorities and then move back up somewhere in between, where the path leads? 

I do. 

I like to meet the players, understand their roles, find out what their super powers are, as well as their challenges.  There are conversations that must be had, eg. setting of objectives and goals, available resources, timelines and deadlines, processes and identifying of risks.

People are key. They get the work done.  How to get the best work done? There is an art and science to this.

I love empowering others to ACKNOWLEDGE their skills and talents as they achieve clarity on their purpose, Assess their situation, by identifying the gaps and make plans to improve also challenging the status quo where it makes sense. They ACTIVATE their Inner Spark, Develop, Design and Deploy a strategic Plan that they take Action on . They ACHIEVE success as they transform their lives. I absolutely love when my clients get the results they desire and start feeling GREAT!

My mission is to “Sparkle” the world One Sparkle at a time, where a “Sparkle” can be a person, a group, or a business."  I believe in empowering others - determined, purpose-driven, heart-centered Leaders who wish to help and make our world a better place. Who are in it for the long haul in continuously improving and learning.

The Secret is learning how to be  a totally effective CEO of You.
