This short coaching session plays with the concept of balance by actually getting you to physically balance yourself! Have some fun and learn that maybe, just maybe, the way you are handling work/life balance is something to be proud of! 

Balance To Be Proud Of

Is your mind stuck on repeat? Can't quiet the thoughts spinning round and round in your head? Want to quiet the noise and rediscover peace? The answer is not in your mind, it is in your heart and your body. Listen to this quick life coaching lesson and learn how to tame your monkey mind once and for all. 

Taming Monkey Mind

We convince ourselves that we know so much and that knowing protects us. But we miss out on something wonderful when we always insist on "knowing." We miss out on the unexpected! The surprises in life! This meditation takes you to your private beach where a surprise awaits you. Come along and relax, and remind yourself how much fun it is to NOT know. 

Embracing the Unexpected

We all experience epiphanies. This is the story of one of mine - the one that broke open the world for me. Twenty years ago, I learned first-hand that there is indeed the sixth sense. Listen as I share my first experience in an "intuitive reading" and hear how my inner skeptic was banished for good! 

Going Beyond 5 Senses

Day by day, we find ourselves distracted by the tasks before us. We forget about the small bits of joy we used to experience daily as kids. This quick meditation reminds us of the simple, carefree joy we used to have while sitting with a friend. Remember. Enjoy! 

Rekindling Joy

We talk a lot about authenticity these days, especially at work. We want people to be real and genuine. But how? And how do we remain authentic even while we lead others? This chat provides insight using a simple model of Body, Mind, and Emotion. And, with a short meditation, you remember what authenticity feels like for you! 

Being An Authentic Leader

Asking for help is never easy for any of us, and taking that first step to asking for what we need opens a whole new world for us. It gives us a chance to BE different. It is often the one lesson that needs to be learned so we may remain vulnerable, open, welcoming, and loving. Listen as I share the hilarious story of how I learned to ask for what I need in a very public and embarrassing way. 

Lessons Learned: Ask for Help

Enjoy this relaxing guided meditation as you explore the abundance all around you. Our lives are filled to the brim, yet we forget to acknowledge this. There is plenty of air, water, music, and love. We only need to ask for it. This meditation takes you on a mental journey to the sea where you will experience the abundance of the blue ocean. You have all you need to for this journey - your imagination and breath. Come join us to learn again how all is provided for you. 

Your Sea of Abundance

Each evening, as we prepare for bed, we transition from one day to the next - from what was to what will be. Listen to this gentle, relaxing meditation as you honor your day and welcome a new sunrise. 

Your Bridge to a New Sunrise

Nothing like an evening walk through a sleepy little town to help you nod off. With this relaxing meditation, you will find yourself sliding into slumber as you wander through your sleepy town. In no time, you'll find yourself dreaming of parks, libraries, ice creams, and calm rivers, all the while safe in your comfy bed.

Your Sleepy Little Town

It is easy for us to look to others for wisdom, but we have our own. This gentle guided meditation will take you on a journey that connects you with your own eternal wisdom and insight. Relax knowing the answers you seek will come to you because they are already within you. 

Discovering Personal Wisdom

There are specific distinctions that exist between these two emotional states: inspiration and motivation. Listen to this short lesson and learn to choose what it is you really want when you work with your team. 

Inspiration or Motivation?

Relax and create a space surrounded by golden light. This gentle guided meditation helps you create a safe space as it prepares you for a journey into your future, your near-future. If you have concerns or worry about what the day might bring, listen in. 

Anticipating Your Day

Your future is yours to create. Sometimes the first step is the hardest because we fear we may make a "wrong" choice. But what would you do if there were no wrong choice? What would you choose? This quick meditation lets you see the light and dark sides of every option. 

What is Next for Me?

"Keep a green bough in your heart and the singing bird will come." This Chinese proverb reminds us to keep hope alive. Through this peaceful meditation, you will manifest your own green bough and singing bird and come to know exactly what they represent for you. Listen and generate hope for whatever it is you are wishing for. 

Keep a Green Bough (Hope) in Your Heart

We all need to trust, no matter how difficult it is. This short lesson introduces a simple and effective trust model that you can use at work and at home. Enjoy as Nora Bouchard reveals the 4 key components that help us recognize what trust is, why we trust some, and we don't trust others. 

A Trust Model

Language is powerful. And we must recognize how we wield that power. One word, in particular, is rarely inclusive and rarely attached to anything other than a critique - a hurtful one at that. Listen to this quick life coaching lesson to learn how the word "should" limits us - and how life becomes real when we resist using it!

Inclusive Language: No More "Shoulds"

This quick life coaching lesson offers quick tips on how to make your language more connective, more inclusive. Switching out one negative word for a better, more powerfully accurate word is one way of making your communication stronger and more positive. Enjoy! 

Inclusive Language: No More "Buts"

Do you lead a team at work? Are you under the impression that your job is to keep your direct reports happy? Think again. This short track explains what happiness is and why it is not your responsibility to keep everyone happy. I also include some great questions to ask to help you assess how happy your team actually is! 

Who Owns Happiness At Work?

The body is a wonder. In addition to all the wonderful things it does for us, it also speaks to us. It tells us through whispers of stress or tension and sometimes through shouts of anguish and pain. Our bodies tell us when our lives are out of balance. They give us clues as to what will help us regain that balance. This guided meditation provides a quick and thorough bodily inventory to help you pinpoint what might be off. Relax, enjoy, and listen to what your body is telling you. 

Your Body Speaks Truth

Language is powerful: it creates a future, describes a past, and opens up possibilities. But if we use it poorly, our power is diminished. One word that can diminish our power, faster than others, is the word "Why." Listen to this quick life coaching lesson to learn how together.

Inclusive Language: No More "Whys"

We are energetic beings made of light. Yet, it's easy to forget and lose sight of this truth. This gentle guided meditation reminds you of who you are. The green light mentioned in this meditation comes directly from your heart chakra, the energy center devoted to love and connection. 

Spreading Your Inner Light

There are always people around us who try to off-load their inner shadows onto our shoulders. They blame us for their failings. Often, we inadvertently take on these messages and hold them as our own, as if we were fully responsible. This guided meditation shows you how to build your shield of protection that will keep you safe from the emotional harm directed toward you.

Protecting Emotional Boundaries

Inclusive Language: No More Why

Join Executive Coach Nora Bouchard as she shares with you another key element of Positive Psychology: Working from strength. When we apply our strengths, we naturally re-energize ourselves. This makes sure we use our strengths again and again. But what is a strength and how do we know what our strengths are? This recording gives you more than a few ideas to ponder!

Use Your Strengths!
