  • If There is No Struggle, There is No Progress

    If There is No Struggle, There is No Progress

    Wise words from long ago… I see many clients today who hate the struggle. They want everything, but don’t want to work for it. Or shy away from when it gets tough going. Why can’t everything they desire just show up? But yet it is so true that everything in life comes with some struggle.…

  • Doing Nothing is the Right Thing to Do

    Doing Nothing is the Right Thing to Do

    How do you feel when you are doing nothing? Just hanging out. Not doing anything that feels purposeful, getting you anywhere, moving you towards anything. Do you feel anxious? Missing out on something? Wondering if you’re wasting time? Fearing that someone might judge you? Something else? It’s so funny. What makes it so hard to…

  • Have You Experienced the Power of Your Intention Today?

    Have You Experienced the Power of Your Intention Today?

    I have experienced the power of intention in many different ways and in my clients. It’s a common activity we do to help cement new attitudes and ways of doing things. Time and time again I myself have set my intention strongly and seen the world mold itself to what my intent was. Big things.…

    When Your Massive Intellect Will Fail

    In our 21st century world, we revere the mind. We love smart people. We give them Nobel Prizes, fame and fortune. We think that the world will be saved by technology and faster computers. We push our kids to study so that they will get into the best colleges and learn more and more. We…

    Time is NOT Your Enemy

    We live in a rush, rush world. Everything needs to be done faster. And we want everything yesterday (thank you Amazon Prime delivery). We have no patience at all. It can’t get done soon enough. And if it isn’t done as soon as we want, we go off the deep end. We feel stressed. Frustrated.…

  • No One Supports Me

    No One Supports Me

    How true does this feel in your life? That you have no one to support you in your life? That there is no one whom you can talk to. Someone who really listens and understands. Who doesn’t judge. And helps you in what you need right at that moment? Maybe you can identify with this…

    Have You Been Ruthless Today?

    C’mon ‘fess up. Have you been ruthless today? Just a little maybe? Merciless. Cruel. Without compassion. What if I told you that it was a good thing to be ruthless? Maybe as ruthless as your favorite TV show character, like Cersei Lannister of Game of Thrones? Or more even? I was just having this discussion…

    Are you feeling like a fake? That you’re pulling a fast one on everyone around you in your work? That you’re fakin’ it ‘til you make it? Maybe like an impostor? And even presented with evidence that you aren’t a fake. That your manager and co-workers all think you’re performing wonderfully.The work itself is of…

  • Are You Just a Robot Clanking Through Life?

    Are You Just a Robot Clanking Through Life?

    Last night I watched the finale of Mandalorian Season 3. It was, of course, awesome to a fan of Star Wars. Robots were an essential component of the cast and as I saw Grogu aka Baby Yoda powering his robot shell around, it reminded me of some the clients I’ve had. Those who felt directionless…

  • Powerful Questions for Anyone!

    Powerful Questions for Anyone!

    Communication is a popular coaching topic with my clients. This can range from communication in the workplace to personal to relationships. We communicate everywhere! And yet many of us really haven’t learned how to communicate. How many of you took classes in communicating with another person? Spent weeks in training and practice to hone your…

    Becoming an Adult is More Than Just Graduating College

    Do you remember when you graduated college? It felt freeing. Awesome. Like you just launched yourself into the world. And you did. Ready to conquer it. Crush it. Make a mark and a lot of money too. Finally becoming an adult after years of dang school and others telling you what to do. And then…it…

  • Your Reality Distortion Field is Better Than Steve Jobs’

    Your Reality Distortion Field is Better Than Steve Jobs’

    According to Wikipedia, in 1981 Apple employee Bud Tribble famously coined the term “reality distortion field” to describe Steve Jobs’ amazing and magical “ability to convince himself, and others around him, to believe almost anything with a mix of charm, charisma, bravado, hyperbole, marketing, appeasement and persistence.” With that ability, he could motivate the Apple…
