Effective Leadership: Take A Pause.

I have been coaching a new CEO of a startup that asked for guidance on how he could better manage his reactive energy that tends to drain him and bring him down when he is met with adversity or disagreements in the workplace. We conducted a leadership assessment that I leverage to get the feedback from others and had him do a self-evaluation to gather some evidence on how he is perceived by...

Are you hungry enough?

This quote from Steve Jobs is so perfect for the topic I want to discuss: Stay hungry. Stay Foolish. I have been thinking about the word hunger a lot and how it serves us, drives us, and is an amazing trigger for assessing what we really want.

Work-Life Balance is a Fancy Word for "Trade Off"

Each of us, no matter how far back we choose to look into our ancestors came from a tribe. The way each tribe shows up in life may be different but the foundation is the same: a place you are connected, contribute,...

The Value of Anger

I truly did not understand the emotion we describe as anger, until a few years ago.  I had no idea, that I swayed more towards hurt, than anger, because I felt that if I got angry, I would be "hurting" the other person as much as they were "hurting" me. I would carry the burden of hurt, and would not express what I truly felt which was angry. I learned to embrace my moments of anger and...

From Fear to Fierce!

Fear. Even saying the word sometimes makes people hold their breath and think of the things that shut them down or paralyze them from moving forward. It is a natural survival skill to recognize fear! 

What we do when it happens is a learned behavior. Fight of Flight is the response when we are being threatened and need to move away or push through the fear of losing our life, and that...

Closing Out the Year with a BANG!

IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE! Closing out the year, I love to assess how I did. 

At the beginning of 2017, I set some serious stretch goals. 

#1 - Publish My First Book

#2 - Hit $1M in Revenue through my firm

#3 - Run a 10K

I consistently set goals and reset them as I put effort against them to stay in momentum towards the life I desire. As I close out the year using Tool #6 - Personal...
