This just in: I have officially become a contributing writer and now join the brilliant international community at The Good Men Project (www.goodmenproject.com). Apparently they needed a bold female life coach who covers all things WINGMAN! I am honored and truly jazzed at this tremendous opportunity to have a greater impact on the broad, diverse, international audience this organization has galvanized.
The Good Men Project is a community of 21st Century thought leaders fostering a national discussion centered around the issue of men’s roles in modern life. Not so much a magazine as a social movement, the diverse ecosystem of contributors evolved from just a book into a movie, live events, a national discussion, a platform, and a non-profit helping boys and men at-risk. Good Men Media Inc. is the multi-media strategic platform modern manhood and the question, “What does it mean to be a good man?”
Selected to offer my angle on business, relationships, motivation and wellness, the first article just out of the gate hits on friendships: Arithmetic of Friendship: Kimberlie Dykeman shares her simple but wise process to sifting out, seeking out, and solidifying a killer circle of friends.

Today’s SOAPBOX® shot in the arm is wrapped around a famous quote by yours truly.
“Make a choice to make a change.”
Not just a catch phrase, gimmick, or ice-breaker, this commanding request clearly volleys the proverbial ball into your court. It proclaims that as you have the freedom to create the life you want to live, you’re the only one who can ignite your intentions into action. Allow me to elaborate- minus the idealistic undertones and chanting of Queen’s “We are the Champions”.
Each of you are born, packed to the brim with potential to be absolutely brilliant, unique, creative, enlightening, and successful. You have the potential to light up every room, every meeting, every workout, every weekend, every holiday, every goal, every client, every dinner party, every person you come across, every day. You have the opportunity and resources, the abilities and God-given gifts to grow into an amazing human being. This is the stuff you probably have found yourself telling your kids and peers, right? The kicker here is that you have to BELIEVE IT for yourself- you have to DESIRE IT- you have to ACT ON IT. Because the more your POTENTIAL gathers dust, the greater the odds that the WHAT IF’s will get buried with you someday.
“Make a choice to make a change” simply reminds you that you are a born leader, decision maker, and winner. Not just today or tomorrow, but every day. I challenge you to ignite your spirited energy any chance you can. Change your bad habits or zip code, for that matter. Redecorate your office or wardrobe. Log five more minutes of cardio and one more hour of sleep. Renew your vows. Write your memoirs. Change your perspective. Hell, change your toothpaste! Embrace the endless possibilities and bask in the glow as you light up your own life.
Never Stop EVOLVING. ~ KD

Nothing too elaborate today, but still simply deep. Growing up around golf (my pop was a pro in his own mind!), I picked up a few things here and there:
So with that in mind, here’s a few words from (Austin’s own) the late Mr. Penick from “Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book” (Copyright 1992 by Harvey Penick, Bud Shrake, and Helen Penick)
“I learn teaching from teachers. I learn golf from golfers. I learn winning from coaches. There are many good teachers of golf who teach quite differently from each other. I prefer listening to one who teaches differently than I do. I might learn from him. I already know my own way.”
