Experts in the Art of Nonverbal Communication
I can hardly contain my excitement — my very first book is in its final stages! I was planning to wait until everything was completely polished before sharing the news… but honestly, I just can’t. I feel like a kid on their birthday — butterflies and all!
Growing up, I had a front-row seat to watch my dad create books. I can still remember the rhythmic click-click-click of his electronic typewriter as he transferred ideas from his head onto paper. Eventually, we upgraded to a typewriter with built-in whiteout — what a game-changer that was! I can still picture the piles of paper stacked everywhere, waiting for my mom to proofread his drafts.
Writing my own book wasn’t “easy,” but compared to those early days, it was definitely easier! It’s amazing to think how much technology has evolved — and how much we evolve with it. In fact, that’s exactly what my book is about: how we can use electronics to grow, learn, and coach more effectively than ever before.
Over the next three months, I’ll be sharing sneak peeks into the three main topics of the book, leading up to the official launch. The book centers on electronic coaching — designed with educators in mind, yet powerful for anyone who coaches or mentors others.

Here’s a little preview of what’s inside:
Goal Setting — For some, it comes naturally; for others, it’s hard to know where to begin. A coach’s role is to help the coachee set their own meaningful goals — and, most importantly, define what success looks and sounds like. The clearer the picture, the easier it is to achieve. Ask questions like, “What would it look like?” and “What would you hear?” Then, break that down by each person involved in the goal.
I was recently talking with my daughter-in-law’s mom about this very idea. She said that when you get crystal clear on what you want — really focus on it, believe in it — you can manifest it. In NLP, we call that visualizing through all your senses. What will you see and hear when you’ve achieved it?
When someone can describe their goal vividly — and even record themselves role-playing it before trying it in real life — they’re already halfway there.
ay tuned for next month’s sneak peek, where I’ll share about “Becoming a Fly on the Wall” — and how this one skill transforms coaching forever.
I can’t wait for you to join me on this journey!
