Welcome to Flourish, where we explore how to Nurture, Coach and Inspire the Next Generation for Success and let their Genius flourish, blossom, bloom, grow, shine! This is going to be a journey of inspiration and joy. I am grateful that I am able to reach out across the globe and make a difference in someone’s life. Health begins with your thoughts for they become your words, which become your actions and how we develop habits. Once you develop a habit, be it good or bad, it becomes your character and once your personality is developed it becomes your destiny. So it’s important to plant the right messages and beliefs as early in life as possible. That is not a new idea, that philosophy was written by Lao Tzu centuries ago. But we need reminding, we need to be the guardian angels of our children and those we influence. I had many victories and fiascos as a parent. My hope is others can learn from my experience and mistakes - as no one is perfect. Through personal development and mutual respect, being a positive influence and advocate for my child has been my greatest achievement in life. Realize: We are all born with a gift, we are all born with purpose. Life’s journey is to hone and develop that gift, as purpose changes within. I’m your coach, Diane Planidin, welcome as I share my journey to success.
