Did You Onboard into a Remote Job?
How many of you have joined a new company and onboarded while remote? How was it for you? So many people I have coached in the last 2 years that have newly joined a company and have not yet met their teammates nor their manager live yet. It all seems great – work from home.…

Pursuing Happiness is Wrong
There I said it. Cue the rock throwing…(ouch ouch ouch!) In all the years I’ve spent coaching and even before I was a coach, I’ve never pursued happiness. It felt wrong to me. Unproductive. Limiting even. Merriam-Webster’s definition of HAPPINESS is: A state of well-being, contentment, and joy. Sounds pretty awesome right? Well, not to…

Did You Work with a Coach and It Didn’t Work for You?
Often clients relate to me how they worked with a coach or therapist in the past and nothing happened. However, when we worked together we made progress. What’s going on here? Is it that I’m the most awesome coach out there and everyone else sucks? As much as my ego loves this, it’s simply not…

Learning How to Be With Another Person for the Rest of Your Life
Years ago, a good friend of mine was going through a divorce. He said something so enlightening that it has stuck with me to this very day. It was: Society trains you to become great doctors, lawyers, scientists. You go through 4 years of college – not to mention all the grade school preparatory work…

Have You Set Your Intention Today?
On this amazingly nice sunny day, I set out for a nice ruck with 50 pounds of weight in a pack. When I ruck, or in any workout for that matter, I always set at least one intention. Today’s intention was a movement cue and to be done with every step of each foot. I…

The Best Way to Approach Someone with a Problem is…
How many times have you had a problem with someone and wondered what to do next? Many come to coaching with this issue. They have a conflict with someone and want to find a way to resolve it. Once we coach them past approaching them in the first place – it’s generally best to go directly…

Did You Solve Any Problems Today?
I bet you did. But I’m not talking about at work, or some task you’re trying to complete. I’m talking about solving a problem presented by another person in conversation. What happened when you did? This comes up a lot in my coaching, especially those coming for relationship coaching, or help in communication. It goes…

The Resilience of a Massive Rock in a River
When I was much younger, I remember being in a time of high stress and change. There seemed to be a lot of things coming at me in life and work. It was all very overwhelming. The energy of other people, the demands of getting things done at work, the ambition of moving forward on…

Help Me With My Procrastination!
How many of you procrastinate? Not just the occasional thing, but EVERYTHING. Waiting until the last moment to finish work. Avoiding it all until it really needs to get done. Then it’s a mad rush, a huge flurry of activity to finish. And when it is done, you don’t feel good about yourself or the…

What Are You Feeling Right Now?
Hey, how are you feeling right now? Do you know? How specific can you get? Is it something that you can’t quite put a finger on? Or only some general label of feeling? Or something super specific down to the exact identifying emotion? In coaching we like to generate awareness first of what is going…

Why isn’t My Team Doing What I Want Them to Do?
Are you a new manager? In my coaching practice, I have many who are new managers and want to become better ones. They often come to me wondering why their team isn’t doing what they want them to do. New managers come with many pre-conceived notions on how to motivate people. Notions about leading, communicating,…

Stress Doesn’t Kill You – Your Mindset About Stress Does!
One of my favorite TED talks is by Kelly McGonigal, a Stanford University psychologist. If you haven’t seen it already, it’s worth a view. We like to say in coaching, mindset is everything. And here, your life may depend on it. There is so much stress we feel now in the world. But what is…

Layoffs and the Work Visa = MAGNIFIED STRESS
So many clients I’ve talked to recently, during this period of many layoffs across the industry, are here on work visas. If you are here on a work visa but don’t have a permanent status via Green Card, AND if you are let go or laid off, then you have 60 to 90 days to…
