"Key to authenticity is moment-by-moment, conscious decision-making based on values."

Authenticity Focus

People are human beings and not merely extensions of their business.  To thrive and find contentment in the 21st century, people will need to bring all of who they are to their work, relationships and communities.   Authenticity, productivity and contentment are fundamentally connected and can be achieved no matter what setting you are in.  Work includes both where and how one spends their time and earns a living.  The goal of workplace authenticity is to increase satisfaction in how one earns a living.  How authentic are you in your place of work?  Take the Authenticity Indicator to assess your authenticity.

When you finally embrace the fact that you are a person of great value (even if you make someone else angry in your attempt at authenticity) you are well on your way toward wholeness.  Unconditional love must be discovered and accepted at the deepest parts of one’s being before any real life change can take place.  Decisions are made in your head continually.  If you make them well, with comprehensive data collection and careful evaluation, your life is bound to be authentic.

Authentic Life DesignTM was founded on the belief that authentic people are happy, joyous and free - - and that each of us can make the choice for authenticity.  I believe that knowing who I am and being that person is the best that life has to offer - - and I am committed to this end.  My goal is to intimately serve individuals through a non-linear process with the focus on creating success from the inside and by your own definition.  People who choose to focus on authenticity are committed to reclaiming their true selves, showing up authentically in all aspects of their lives and creating an Active LegacyTM.

Along with Active LegacyTM , I aspire to be your resource for the authenticity revolution - chronicling the process, highlighting key steps, and identifying authentic resources.  Most of all, individuals exploring this uncharted territory will be equipped with the tools, techniques, models, and mind-sets they need to create their own personal authenticity.  The Path to Authenticity consists of the following general steps:

  Authenticity Defined = What is authenticity to you?

  Self-Awareness = Diagnosis, Knowledge and Prescription

·         Where are you today?

·         What are your assets and liabilities?

·         Where do you want to be?

·         How do you get there?

  Decision = Will you do the work?

  Authenticity = How do you become and remain authentic?

  Life-Long Learning = Growth and renewal

What qualifies me to do this? Since 1997 I have been consciously pursuing my own authenticity.  As such, I am an expert on the subject and a co-discoverer on the path.  As a collaborator and co-creator, I am self-revealing and authentically truthful.  My role is steward and co-creator with people on a definitive and personal path to authenticity, using whatever relevant modality is required to stay on the authentic path.

People successfully identifying and embracing their authenticity become leaders in their workplaces and their lives - - they are highly skilled at working with people, helping them set and obtain their goals. I emphasize experiential learning methods, individuals exhibiting competence, a community of learners helping each other, making sure the leader is a continuous learner, knowing about one's self, and understanding the connectedness of systems.

For your enjoyment and awareness I have included the following:

·         Attitude is Everything - Five great lessons that life can teach you.
·         Is the Jar Full? - A choice-based fable of life.
