Think big. Ask yourself what the best-case scenario is. What opportunities have gone unseized? What possibilities are waiting to be ignited? If you could wave a magic wand, what would happen? Then ask yourself what is within your power to create, influence, or lead the charge for. You don’t have to have all the…

  As children, most of us received mixed messages. You may have been encouraged to follow your heart and give life to your dreams in addition to being conditioned to be practical, hedge your bets, and take the safest route. Over time, many of us have allowed the roar of public opinion – that often…

  Ask any executive what their goals are, and they’ll likely describe targets they’re shooting for or milestones they aim to hit along the way. Goals are easy – they’re often prescribed or assigned. They’re logical, analytical, and concrete. But ask someone what their vision is, and you’ll likely get a whole different reaction. Visions…

  We are often encouraged to set goals before we even have a vision of what we want to accomplish. But doing so deprives us of the dream that provides the fuel necessary to achieve those goals. As you contemplate the year ahead, consider the essence of what you most want to achieve, create, or…

  As December morphs into January, the time is ripe to begin entertaining thoughts of what you most want to create, achieve, or become. It’s curious that we often associate moments of reflection with major milestones (like a New Year), rather than as a continual process in our lives. Yet it’s easy to let the…

  Every December my family and I watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. It’s fun to villainize him – the insensitive jerk who figures if he can’t be happy, no one else should either. He steals their Christmas presents, their trees, stockings and decorations – even their food. And then he is baffled that even without all their “stuff” Christmas still comes. As he…

  What if all the things you need to do this time of year could be lighter, easier, and more meaningful and fulfilling? Though that may seem unlikely, it’s entirely possible if you remember one simple yet timeless truth… How you do things is as important as what you do (…maybe even more so). December…

  This week’s video was recorded in the spur of the moment – when I was hit with an epiphany about what allows people to be both successful AND happy. It felt worth sharing, despite the background noise and absolute lack of makeup. When you click on the image below, you’ll be taken to my…

  It was one of those days where I had way more to do than time to do it. And my internet was out. The cable guy showed up early and I was happy to see him, though I knew from previous experience this likely wouldn’t be a quick process. David had a twinkle in…

    I’ve worked with a handful of clients who unexpectedly lost their jobs after working for over twenty years with the same company. The funny thing is these people knew they were ready for something greater before it happened. In coaching meetings, they’d often talk about wanting to strike out in new directions, take on bigger challenges, live and lead…
