Here at Lifestyle Coach—Live a Better Life—we have a simple insight that guides everything we do: Your Lifestyle is primarily about How You Achieve Your Goals.
Nobody wakes up to be balanced and healthy; they wake up to succeed in their life—family, career, business, maybe an added sport, or creative pursuit. But most people know, especially those who have burned out at least once and traded their health and wellbeing for success, that how you achieve your goals is everything if you want to sustain your success and arguably, be genuinely successful.

That’s kind of our defining trait these days: data overload and compressed timelines. As a result, we are sometimes spread too thin, which means we are prone to miss things, perhaps important things, that are going on in someone else’s world. Read full article >

Leadership Morris Tees Up Economic Development Day
In August more than 40 alumni and friends of Leadership Morris gathered for a day of golf and networking at Picatinny Arsenal Golf Club. Leadership Morris alumni from Picatinny Arsenal plan and host Economic Development Day, one of the 10 learning days making up the leadership development program’s curriculum year. Economic Development Day includes several speakers, both military and civilian, explaining the nuances of Picatinny. Presentations also are offered by several local mayors, members of the Morris County Planning Board, representatives from the Morris County Chamber of Commerce and others.
Economic Development Day is one of 10 venues explored by the Leadership Morris class. Class members also meet and engage with the major players in Morris County’s governance, nonprofit, health and law enforcement and media sectors during the year. Supplemental practical Leadership sessions also are offered. The annual class is usually made up of 30-35 members who also participate in small teams planning and executing a community service project. Applications for the class of 2022 are now being taken. Information about joining the Leadership Morris Class of 2022 can be found on the Morris County Chamber of Commerce’s website at www.morrischamber.org.
