This year I shared real-life lessons in service of your real-life leadership and personal development. As I looked back to see what the most popular posts were from the past year, I also took a beat to think about planning for the new year. My promise for 2016 is that I will continue to share actionable insights to enable you, my readers and coaching clients, to break the frame and make a change.
Here are three big things I learned about you, the Break the Frame readers:
1) You are committed to self-improvement, personal development and enhancing your personal leadership.
2) Like me, you’re oftentimes overwhelmed and stretched to never before known limits.
3) To quote Bob Dylan, “I Feel a Change a Comin’ On.”

A very Happy (& Great / Meaningful) New Year to you, your family, and all, Alli! Doesn’t seem possible it’s been so long since I took your e-course… Everyone should seriously consider it. It’s all about your desires AND responsibilities as well as your choices in addressing them with empathy for all – knowing full well that mistakes and mis-steps will happen and are simply learning experiences!!!
John,
I’m thrilled that you got value out of the eCourse. Engaging with you during the process was an absolute pleasure! Totally with you here too – while missteps can feel catastrophic, they’re opportunities to learn and once in a while taking us in new, interesting and unexpected directions.
Here’s to a 2016 that’s all you want it to be. Happy New Year!
All the Best ~
Alli

Happy New Year Alli!
I loved the last sentence of your post to be: A whole lot more devoted to saying yes to the things and people who matter and letting the rest go.
Such great advice. Best wishes for a fulfilling 2016.
Cheers from the far south, Ingrid
I’m prepared for more YES to the right things and instead of stressing, enjoying a life filled with intention. Thank you, Ingrid for all of your insights and connection this year. Best wishes to you as well!
I’m looking forward to re-engaging online with so many I lost touch with in 2015 as I made changes to my business, website and life in general. I’ve opened a reiki practice in my home, I’m continuing to write my fiction novel and share my fiction and photography on my new website, and as always, treasure the friends I’ve made online, even though I’ve been fairly MIA over the past 10 months. Here’s to a magnificent 2016!
Kaarina –
How exciting! I’m truly inspired by all of the paths you’ve traveled over the course of your professional life. It’s been amazing to read your fiction writing and see a whole new side of you. When I started to devote time to writing fiction in recent years I found it made positive creative ripples in all parts of my life.
Welcome back and right back at ya – here’s to a FAB year ahead!!
