Greetings!

May is a month of celebrations in Louisville with the arrival of spring, the Kentucky Derby, Mother's Day and Graduations.  I am excited about the month-long opportunity to have fun and honor others along the way. My family, my friends and my clients are truly becoming more authentic and seeing success by living their values and loving what they do.

My 14-year old son, Taylor, is seeing his first golf achievement by finishing second in the Kentucky Derby Festival Fifth Third Bank $1 Million Hole-in-One Golf Contest last week. He loves golf and is pursuing his passion boldly. One of my friends and clients, Laura, is quickly becoming one of the city's most successful publishers and she shares her story about how she changed not only herself but also turned around her business.

By being on these journeys personally and professionally, I decided to create my "12 Ways to Excavate Yourself." Some of these are listed below,

  1. Pursue Passion
  2. Love What You Do
  3. Ask for What You Want
  4. Have Playmates
  5. Celebrate Success

For a full list, click here.  You can even request a bookmark with these listed to remind you of the ways you can uncover who you are and create a life that reflects you and your successes. And, don't forget to celebrate along the way, especially this May.


Excavive Client Success:     LG magazines

Underwired magazine was designed to support women in their pursuit of meaningful work, creative passion and other spirited adventures. The magazine was launched in September 2006 and by November 2006, I found myself stuck in a place of fear, doubting my ability to make a go of it. Someone suggested that I meet with Jennifer. I'll be honest - my first reaction was a polite, "No thank you." I envisioned someone standing on a stage shouting positivity that I was sure would result in my buying real estate. I'm not sure what shifted and brought her to me, but what I found was something quite different than what I imagined. Conversations were comfortable, confidential and eye opening. Jennifer is able to guide you to your own answers within. Sometimes it is not enough to know the answer or the way to proceed. You still have to take action around it in order for things to change. With Jennifer, I knew I had someone to hold me accountable and to push me forward. The entrepreneurial road is still full of ups and downs but after working with Jennifer, I no longer approach it from the mindset that I can't do it.
