Four Foundations for Creating a Healthy Family (Beverly Buncher)
Beverly Buncher’s Four Foundations for Creating a Healthy Family are based on the idea that one person can make a positive difference in the life of his or her family. These same principles apply to families needing small tweaks as well as to families facing huge challenges. Bev will discuss how you can make your life and family experience better from the inside out. By learning about the Four Foundations©, you will find yourself becoming a pivotal part of the solution. It’s not about taking over another person’s responsibilities, Bev says, but about finding freedom in taking on your own responsibilities in a new, more enlightened way. Join us to learn how you can experience increasing levels of peace and purpose in your life and family.
About Beverly Buncher
“Coach Bev,” author of the forthcoming book The Four Foundations of Family Recovery: Simple Ideas to Transform Chaos to Sanity, has a knack for asking questions that make her clients reach deep within to achieve their goals and dreams.
Her professional and life experiences have given her a sense of wisdom and understanding that make her the ideal coach for family members of addicts, adults and teens in recovery, people in transition, people looking to explore their life purpose, and teens or adults striving to be leaders of their own lives. With 26 years of family recovery under her belt, Bev developed the Four Foundations© as a tool for individuals who wish to make a difference in their own lives as well as in the lives of their families. A former school principal, Bev also coaches parents, teachers, and school leaders looking to increase their effectiveness and reduce their stress.
Coach Bev earned her MA at the University of Pittsburgh and her empowerment coaching certification (CEC) through the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching (iPEC).
Beverly’s Coaching Suggestion
As you begin to work with the four foundations (self care, being a loving person, setting boundaries, getting support), you will find parts that are easy and natural for you and parts that are harder. Rather than struggle and worry about the parts that are more difficult, look for your small and large successes in any of the four areas and celebrate them! Keep a daily journal in which you write down every success you have in putting your new habits into place. These could be anything from flossing your teeth more regularly to allowing your child to tie his own shoes instead of jumping in quickly to help to giving your teen firm, yet loving boundaries within which to operate, even when he or she pushes back. Think of the four foundations as muscles that will grow stronger with practice and everyday look for opportunities to try a new one and watch its effects take root in your life.

One Heart, One Mind (Elisabeth von Trapp)
August 18, 2010 by Jory · 2 Comments
Elisabeth von Trapp joins us on Heart & Soul to discuss the meaning behind her music as well as her inspiration for writing, composing, and arranging several of her songs. We will come away with a clear understanding of why audiences of all ages are awed by the beauty of her voice and the astonishing sound of her music. We will appreciate Elisabeth the person as well as Elisabeth the performer, and we’ll understand why no one leaves an Elisabeth von Trapp performance unchanged.
About Elisabeth von Trapp
Elisabeth von Trapp built upon her famed family’s passion for music to create her own artistic style—ethereal yet earthy, delicate yet powerful. Singing professionally since childhood, she has enthralled audiences throughout the United States, Austria, and Russia performing as wondrously in European cathedrals as in Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center.
Elisabeth’s cathedral program includes sacred and secular music extending from Gregorian chants and songs of 12th century mystics to early American hymns, spirituals, and Psalms set to her own compositions.
Her concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway — from Schubert to Sting. Elisabeth’s five self-produced albums have been featured on National Public Radio, BBC-Radio, Japanese National Radio, and CNN Spanish Radio; she has appeared on CBS’ Eye on People, ABC’s Good Morning America, and BBC-TV. Critics have called her voice “hauntingly clear,” “joyfully expressive,” and “simply beautiful.”

Anthony’s Coaching Suggestion
Anthony advises us that we must LOVE WHAT WE DO. On the dark days, he says, it will be our passion and love for our business that will keep us moving forward. He also suggests that we LEARN AS WE GO. “I want to stress the word LEARN. Become a sponge. Start spending time with successful business people and learn how they did it. Make lots of small mistakes and learn from there. Read lots of books on small business, branding and marketing, and customer service. Get to the point where you go on Amazon. com and are frustrated because you’ve already read every four and five star book in their business section.” Anthony emphasizes the word GO. We must execute and test our business idea, he says, as soon as possible and not just continually plan.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” ~Socrates
“Starting a business is about Constant Forward Motion.” ~Fredrick Marckini, Founder of iProspect

Kate’s Coaching Suggestion
1) Kate suggests that we examine our lives to discern where we are going it alone—and why. Do we have to go it alone or can we delegate the job in ways that allow others to shine and that allow us to learn new ways of accomplishing the task?
2) She also suggests that we review our connections and contacts to discover who might be our “Tontos” in the work place and/or at home. We should then evaluate their strengths and discuss with them how we can collaborate to accomplish more with less effort.
