You’re worried about pleasing everyone. Why? Instead, lean into what makes you unique. I was at Mike’s Pastry in Boston the other day. Signs plastered everywhere: “Cash Only” Line out the door every day in the middle of the day. The pastries are delicious, but that’s not what struck me. Here’s a company that: Does…

You’re fed up with all the talk about work/life balance. When you’re working, aren’t you living your life? I feel this. For me, it’s about: Harmony Purpose Alignment 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 = 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. What happens when I’m in alignment? There’s harmony between the different parts of my life.

Make inertia work for you. Inertia can be your biggest roadblock. Or it can be your greatest ally. Classic inertia gets you every time: • You haven’t started, so you don’t start • Inertia makes it uncomfortable to take that first step But here’s the thing. Once you start, inertia can work in your favor.…

The source of your frustration is the need for control. You’re used to being the expert. You’re used to always being right. You’re used to having all the answers.

Why do you expect growth in your comfort zone? I was assembling furniture yesterday (not my forte). My wife saw frustration and asked if I wanted help. I said no thanks. I wanted to work through my frustration. I wanted to learn and grow. I leaned into it. Guess what? I ended up enjoying it…

Dreams are a great start (good news for dreamers and thinkers like me). But action is necessary to realize those dreams. What will it take to propel you to act on your dreams? Here’s how to get started: -> Understand what’s most important to you. -> Set a vision based on those important parts. ->…

I’m a coach. I don’t tell you what to do. I help people ‘uncover’ their Blueprint. They don’t need me to tell them what to do. It’s already inside them. But sometimes, thanks to all the noise and clutter in our heads, it helps to have someone else help us see it clearly. Do you…
