February 19th Journey to Self: The Family Manager
——-———–Show Information——————-
The Family Manager Creed
I oversee the most important organization in the world
Where hundreds of decisions are made daily
Where Property and resources are managed
Where health and nutritional needs are determined
Where finances and futures are discussed and debated
Where projects are planned and events are arranged
Where transportation and scheduling are critical
Where team-building is a priority
Where careers begin and end
I am a Family Manager
Today on Journey to Self we are talking about the family manager! Joining me to give her perspective and share her experiences of being a family manager is Renee Gonseth.
Renee is a mother, sister, friend, entrepreneur and recently a grandmother!! She grew up in a little town in upstate NY, the youngest of 5. Renee has been so very fortunate to meet some extraordinary people along her path as she have lived all over the country! She has had extraordinary experiences and has come to know that these make her who she is and believes she has gained unique insight about the not so everyday things!
Being a bit adventurous, she love everything outdoors and absolutely love socializing and learning everyday about people, places and life! A tip she likes to share is: “It is really important to learn from being open to other’s perspectives. I have learned to read and listen to every personal development book I can find. It is my opinion that to change our circumstance, WE have to change our thinking!”
She feels the best thing she ever did was to listen to my grandmother when she said “The only thing you need to know is what love is! The only thing you need to do is love!”
She was In, her thirties before she “got it”, but what a life lesson! Renee has been married for 21 years, has one son and in June 2008 became a grandmother to a gorgeous baby boy! Another chapter begins!
Renee is a frequent co-host on the internet radio show “Ladies, Let’s Talk…” a segment of The Women’s Empower Hour where she shares her extraordinary insights on a variety of topics!

This show was filled with great insights into challenges and solutions that any parent/family manager can relate to.
