Legacies of the Heart Interview with Donna Krone
Donna Krone is the founder and owner of Sacred Conversations™, an organization focused on creating and delivering transformational programs in the area of Life Purpose, Leadership and Legacy.
Donna is living her purpose and creating her own legacy, working with individuals to create more authentic heart-centered lives. Formerly a registered nurse and a financial advisor, Donna completed coaching certification and leadership training through The Coaches Training Institute, a premier international coaching school accredited by the International Coach Federation.
Donna is also a licensed “Third Age Fulfillment Coach” and, in 2009, she achieved the honor of becoming the 5th Certified True Purpose Coach worldwide. Her programs are presented at notable venues such as the Positive Aging Conference in Florida, the ASA/NCOA Aging in America conference in Washington D.C., and the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA. Donna lives in Lakeville, MA.
Donna Krone’s first 40 years of life were no different than most. She was so busy doing her best to respond to what life brought to her that she brushed away the bigger questions of designing her life. But according to developmental theorists, she was right on schedule when in her early 40s something inside her started to change. Despite a successful career as a financial planner, Donna had this nagging sense “This is not what I’m meant to be doing” and it wouldn’t stop until she paid attention. She finally listened to that inner voice and created a life of purpose and meaning in her business Sacred Conversations™.
As you move into this next stage of life, Donna will show you how sacred conversations can help you develop the confidence to share what is most deeply meaningful to you with family, friends, and your broader community—what she calls legacies of the heart.
We hope enjoy the interview.

Crossing the Great Divide: The Mid-Life Transition with Rachel Conerly
April 8, 2010 by Jory · Leave a Comment
Like the salmon that travel the long and often treacherous journey, we are following an instinct impossible to resist. Yet most of us find ourselves unprepared for the scope and magnitude of what we’ll face in mid-life. Life seems to come apart more than it comes together.
The things that generated life for us in the first half no longer do, and they may even sap life instead. Without a road map and an inner guide, we may perish. The mid-life transition is about birthing new life and new possibilities. It is a time when we’re to take everything we are and everything we’ve learned in the first half and use it for divine and purposeful work in the world. The mid-life transition is our calling to new and abundant life. Our understanding of and relationship to this archetypal transition will make all the difference!
Rachel Conerly’s mission is to help leaders find their purpose and lead in accordance with their calling. She founded Collaborative Leaders, Inc., an organization whose work is to create a critical mass of leaders capable of addressing the world’s most vexing and perplexing problems. She has worked for 15 years as an Organizational Development Coach and Consultant and consults to top leaders, teaching them a highly-productive alternative to traditional hierarchy. She also co-leads public and private retreats including the Inner Journey in Richmond, Va.
Her clients include executives from numerous fortune 100 organizations as well as high-performing men and women from other disciplines such as government, medicine, and law. She graduated from Presbyterian College with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science in 1986 and lives in Chapel Hill, NC with her husband and daughter.
Enjoy the interview.

Rewriting the Script: Transitioning from Limiting Beliefs to Empowering Stories with Gail Jones
April 1, 2010 by Jory · Leave a Comment
Our guest is Gail Jones, an Intuitive Coach, insightful writer, and savvy PR consultant. A specialist in helping people move successfully through life transitions, Gail will describe the core beliefs that block people from living the life they long to live.
Although hidden beliefs conditioned from a young age often hold us back, we can become more aware of the limiting beliefs that impact our lives, choose to let them go, and create more empowering thoughts, words, and beliefs that will enable us to live more joyfully and purposefully. A leading edge innovator, Gail has guided hundreds of people to new levels of joy, fulfillment, and success through her unique approach of transformation including a proprietary tool called Rewriting the Script (RTS), which she developed to help clients release subconscious beliefs that hold them back. Gail helps people detoxify their minds of negative or false beliefs, much like one would cleanse the body of junk food. Then, using her intuitive coaching skills and expertise as a writer, Gail uniquely assists people in crafting the right words to implement change. From these words, they develop daily rituals and action plans to instill these new beliefs in their brains for lasting transformation.
With the tools of a coach, the soul of a writer, and the wisdom of a reflective life, Gail Jones brings an innovative approach to helping people achieve success. Building on her journalism and PR careers, as well as her life experiences, Gail became an author of self-help, non-fiction books that support readers through major life transitions. She began coaching adults in transition nearly 20 years ago and is a graduate of CoachVille. Independent of her coach training, Gail learned breakthrough belief transformation techniques, which she customized to her own proprietary tool she named Rewriting the Script. She is also an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner and a second degree Reiki master, fully understanding that releasing negativity from the body is key to emotional healing and spiritual well-being. Gail “walks her talk,” continually learning new skills that keep her abreast of change. Downtime for spiritual renewal–through yoga, walking and journaling–is integral to her well-being and the insights she brings to clients.
