Foresight. Do not confuse this with the fortune teller who suggests that they can see into your future and determine what that might be. Using foresight is the act of looking forward, taking care to assess all of the advantages and disadvantages of ...

Dear Dr Nekia, Well actually, this edition of The Naked Truth is really addressed to my beloved readers and followers because this is, sadly, my very last column entry. Ironically, I often give counsel to clients about the importance of letting go ...

Progress. How do you define progress? It can take many forms but the key answer to me is that you develop a plan to make changes and to make things better for you and those around you. Developing a plan of action, measuring your progress, and taking...

Dear Dr Nekia, When is enough, enough? Some people leave at the first signs of trouble and others stay through years of tears. How do you know when it is time to call it quits with no regrets, doubts, guilt, or feeling like you are a failure or quitt...

What resists, persists. I heard this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It got me to thinking — if we resist something such as a change in our life or business, a new product or service that might help us, or anything “just because” — then wha...

Dear Dr. Nekia, I fear that my boyfriend and I are going to break up. We are arguing a lot lately over my job. You see, I work late nights sometimes and it requires out-of-office work with clients who are generally male. My job does not involve any...

Few things make me squirm more than having to deliver bad news. It’s a task that, in the past, I have done anything to avoid. The prospect of letting someone down, giving negative feedback, or even worse, letting them go, filled me with such dread an...

Each August, our family leaves for a remote island lost among the endless boreal forests and thousands of lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota. This enchanted island, with slender pine trees and rocky cliffs, is su...
