Assume Good

Anese Cavanaugh

I believe that people generally come from a place of positive intention. If there is a disconnect, it often happens in their impact and the stories that get made up about their intentions.

10 places to look for leading into 2012 – some a bit off the hook

Anese Cavanaugh

Today I hosted a group of business owners, at my office in Rocklin, for my Biz 2012 Intention Event. A whole morning of reflecting on 2011, looking into 2012, and setting intentions for what we’ll be celebrating and discussing NEXT year at this time.

I notice that as 2011 comes to an end and 2012 is around the bend, people (present company included) talk about what they will “do” in 2012, what they want to “have

Want clarity, action, results? Simply map your 5

Anese Cavanaugh

Life is simple. Our brains and egos don’t want us to think it is, but it actually is pretty simple.
