Your Choices Are

Phone Consultation

• "Two heads are better than one", as the saying goes. There is nothing quite like talking it over to shine a light on the situation, gain perspective and ease your mind.

Think I can help? Want to talk? Here's what to do.

1. Simply click here and schedule a time at your convenience to talk with me. You will be asked to answer a few questions about yourself (don't stress, they're easy ones) so we can make the most of our time.
2. You will then be whisked over to Pay Pal to do your thing.
3. Make a note of our scheduled time so you don't miss it!
4. You are responsible for making the call.

Note: If you need to reschedule your time you may do so provided it is not within 24 hours of the existing appointment. I will not refund fees for no-shows.

You are responsible for calling me on time. I have allotted 25 minutes for your call and may have other people scheduled before and after you. So, if your scheduled time is 3:00 to 3:25 and you call in at 3:10, you still only have until 3:25 to talk. I will not bump the next person.

Letter writing

Read Jim's story and you'll understand the power of a well-written letter to get results. It can save both reputations and friendships.
Why write a letter?

• You can say everything you want to say without being interrupted.
• You will not get into an argument before you've had a chance to make your case or say your piece.
• You will save face if there are things either of you regret doing or saying.
• A letter allows the recipient time and privacy to think about your words.
• Chances are they will be as thoughtful about their reply.
• Sometimes it's just a better way to address things that are really hard to say.

This process can be tweaked for individual needs but this is basically how it works.

1. Start by scheduling a 25-minute phone conversation so you can see if you're comfortable working with me and I can gain a better understanding of what you want to say and to whom.
2. After our conversation, you'll write a first draft. Don't get discouraged, it's just so we have a place to start. I can help you if you're really stuck.
3. Email the draft to me, I'll review it and we'll schedule a time to talk, beginning the process of making it really moving or convincing or whatever you want it to be.
4. We'll probably do a little back and forth before you are satisfied and comfortable enough to send your letter. You may even feel the writing process has satisfied your needs such that you choose not to send the final version!

One very important thing to keep in mind. There are no guaranteed outcomes, especially when we're dealing with the feelings of others. Sometimes what we really need, once we've tried our best and cannot change things, is to find a way to accept what is and move on with dignity. Promise yourself you'll get some help if you're finding that hard. Your health and sanity are what matter most!
