Achieve Success: Autograph Your Work With Excellence
As I consider new tools or skills that will help people achieve greater work and life success, I think it is important for them to recognize what success they already have. In life, people experience numerous opportunities to work hard and devote time to building skills over a period of months or years, or while working on various projects. Those skills have likely created lots of success through many of life’s challenges, opportunities, ups and downs. It would be beneficial to folks and their confidence to recognize how those opportunities have given them great skill sets.

John Woolley will be ‘Looking At The Bird’ this weekend at Seminole Cup
Along with many other Clay Shooters, John Woolley, will be ‘Looking At The Bird’ this weekend at the Seminole Cup. In the Clay Shooting world, John Woolley and his phrase (spoken in a British accent) “Look At The Bird” are as famous as Nike and their slogan “Just Do It.” There is good reason for this! John is not only well accomplished as a Clay Shooting competitor, he is a world renowned instructor, writer, championship and private course designer, has served as Captain of both the

A Butterfly’s Struggle
The story of A Butterfly’s Struggle has touched my life for many years. The first time I read it I was in awe of anyone who could live their life in such a manner.
Over the years, this way of thinking has become more and more a way of living for me. To be able to look back on my life and see that every struggle has brought me strength. Every time I wished a problem away, and it didn’t leave, I have learned a valuable lesson.

Trying my new Howard Leight Shooter’s Electronic Earmuffs at the Seminole Cup
I am ready to try out my new Howard Leight Shooter’s Electronic Earmuffs at the Seminole Cup!
Last week I spent a day at South Florida Shooting Club for the Team USA Shooting School, where Doug Vine and I spent several hours watching Wendell Cherry and John Woolley instructing students. Hours of non-stop shotgun shooting and my poor ears were ringing and sore. Like most shooters, I came to realize that the foam ear plugs just don’t cut it; they don’t stay in well, they don’t block out the shotgun sound sufficiently, and you can’t
Can My Clay Shooting Clients Perform Like They Practice?
Seminole Cup is Around the Corner!
February 20-24
I am very excited to be attending my first Seminole Cup! As one of the first big events of the year, many of my Clay Shooting Mental Training clients are wondering if they can perform like they have been practicing. Although I have been working with Clay Shooters for about 4 years, with well over 60 Clay Shooters that have hired me and several dozen which are active clients, I have yet to see many of them compete. So I am
Clay Shooting: Plan, Prepare and Focus Hypnosis
About Gun Control and People
The ongoing gun control debate has several different aspects, but is currently mostly defined by overheated political rhetoric in the aftermath of ongoing gun violence atrocities. As a mental trainer and hypnotherapist who has been in private practice for 13 years I have had the honor to closely observe the mental happenings of thousands of people and reached the careful conclusion, that where it concerns gun violence, we need to focus on identifying those with violent mental instabilities, rather than trying to
Consistent Performance in Clay Shooting from Planning, Preparing and Better Focus
This past week, I had three Clay Shooters fly in from out of state and worked with several others via Skype or phone. Like the rest of us, Clay Shooters think their challenges are unique to them, but, in reality, the details may be different but the scenarios are the same. Every Clay Shooter I have worked with could benefit from more consistent and deliberate Planning, Preparing and Better Focus.
If a Clay Shooter steps up to a station or peg and
Clay Shooters Want to Perform with Confidence and in the Zone
Like most athletes, Clay Shooters want to Perform with Confidence and in the Zone. But, unfortunately, they face a few obstacles that hold them back. Rather than having Confidence going into an event, station or peg; Clay Shooters tend to worry about their abilities, whether they have practiced enough, if they deserve to be at the level of competition they are at or which they are striving for, or if they will be able to shoot the rabbits. After missing a
Clay Shooters Benefit from a Post-Shot Routine
I know, I know… you have heard of a Pre-Shot Routine and you are thinking “What is she talking about? A Post-Shot Routine? Doesn’t she mean a Pre-Shot Routine?” Nope, sorry, I mean a Post-Shot Routine and I would even venture to say that Clay Shooters could benefit significantly from a Post-Shot Routine. And it’s not just a Post Shot that will serve you well… there is tremendous advantage from
