Hurray and welcome to the Resources page for saying hurray “outside”! On this page you’ll find some of my favorite blog posts and pages loaded with advice on how to grow your relationship with the outside world. This means the people and things around you, your job, your home, and how you present yourself to those around you. I always advise my coaching clients (and remind myself) that real change starts from the inside, out. So you’ll see that the advice here builds on my Inside and Underneath resources. Browse through my blog posts by category and see what strikes your fancy. Sending you hurray!
