Leadership
A Moment to Reflect…
I look outside my window and am mesmerized by the blaze of glory that is Fall! In this moment of quiet contemplation, it is difficult to believe that snow will soon begin to fall. Can the year have unfolded so quickly? For many, this is a time to pause… reflect… and identify all that has filled the soul and leads the way into a more expansive ... Continue Reading >>
Dodging a bullet?
It all feels very different when it's personal; when someone you care about is living the challenges that Gaia is unleashing upon the planet. As I watch the images from Canmore, Alberta to all around the globe, I am reminded of the 'hype' around the impending global-annhilation predicted for 2012. And here we are - 2013 and counting... and our devastation ... Continue Reading >>
Sanity, Silence and the Sacred
Sometimes, there is more going on than I can manage with logic and reason. The pieces on the playing board of my life seem to have minds of their own and I fall into believing that my job is to just try to keep up! That awareness becomes my cue to stop... pay attention... and make the time to enter into a deeper, more conscious and intended exploration with ... Continue Reading >>
From Impulse to Expression
In our lives, we travel many roads and experience many discoveries. Perhaps the greatest of them all is to tap into the wellspring of genius that lives within, waiting only to weave its way through the network of beliefs of our own limitations. Once found, we become free to create and manifest. Louise A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = ... Continue Reading >>
Revisiting Possibility
Lots going on in my life, these days. Sometimes, I need to be reminded that I am always choosing; that I am always the one making the decisions and setting the boundaries on my world. I get to say 'yes' or 'no'; and I get to declare where I draw the line in the sand of my own being. Maybe you'd welcome that kind of reminder for yourself, in your life, ... Continue Reading >>
Accelerated Healing: Choosing a Different Path
Healing - of body, mind and spirit - is a choice.

The following recording offers an invitation allow ourselves to trust what moves inside us; reconsider the possibilities; and ... Continue Reading >>
Refusing to Disappear: Living Large
My choice today, for myself and in sharing with all of you, is called 'Living Large in an Increasingly Smaller World'. It is not what we do, it is who we believe we can become. As our world begins to feel smaller and tighter, rather than curl in on ourselves, we must expand into our Selves. For a new context for evolution, click here to read the ... Continue Reading >>
Remembering Who I Am….
Given the recent circumstances of my life, I was drawn to listen to this invitation to remember who I am.

I hope it will prove as meaningful for you as it has been for me. A ... Continue Reading >>
Reconsidering Commitment
Today, I am revisiting the things that have long held meaning, and wonder: do they still? My commitment is and always must be, first, to mySelf. Today, I am mindful, that without a willingness to revisit my life as a living and evolving expression of 'being', my commitments become hollow and empty. I share this recording with all of you and invite you to ... Continue Reading >>
Living Life with an Edge: Daring to Awaken
What far too many women overlook is the intensity and consistency of the cultural conditioning that ensures we have no edges! Without edges, we are more willing and able to be moulded and shaped; with a greater likelihood of never noticing that we have disappeared from any notion or intention of our own creation and expression. Like matter cannot form ... Continue Reading >>
Reaping what we mindfully sow
It's Wednesday and I'm mindful of my commitment to myself to listen to/for something that will expand my world. This one (on Evolution by Intention), I've listened to a few times, mindful that it's not a quick listen; it's not an easy listen; and it's not a catchy little ditty that you can hum when you're leaving the show! It has however, reminded me of who ... Continue Reading >>
The Roar of ‘Enough!’
Around the world, men and women are beginning to stand, together and in resonant voice, to declare, 'Enough!'. Enough violence against women and girls! Enough mindlessness and brutality! Enough looking the other way and pretending it isn't so! Enough fabrication of story to make it right and noble! Enough! The toughest conversation we will ever have is the ... Continue Reading >>
Reconsidering ‘Coaching’
As we launch our first gathering for Affiliates 2013 and anticipate the same of ACES 2013, I am mindful of two thoughts: interconnectivity and leaps!

The following short ... Continue Reading >>
Voices and Choices: Tapestry of Sounds
I spend much of my time in conversation with others. As magnificent as these experiences most often are, there are times when I long for the sound of my own inner truth; the time to pause… take a breath… and listen for the sound of that which is deeply authentic to me. Perhaps in taking this pause, you too, will have the opportunity to hear ... Continue Reading >>

Giving thanks in tough times
For many, times have been and continue to be difficult. As families come together, we are called to go beyond the obvious and move into expressions of thanks that may look new and unfamiliar.

A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 11:51 To change our language from 'counselling/therapy' to 'coaching' is not enough to make the difference that so many of us desperately seek.
