The higher you rise, the more you lose this…
Every three years, I renew my coaching certification with the International Coaching Federation. Not all coaches do this, but I make it a priority to keep my skills sharp and to ensure I’m delivering the highest-quality coaching for my clients. As part of my 40 continuing education hours this round, I attended a workshop on […]
5 ways leaders shape workplace culture
I’ve had several conversations lately about upgrading a team or organization’s culture. Oof. When a work environment isn’t healthy, productivity, fulfillment, and overall team spirit suffer…badly. And over time, it becomes the kind of place where good people quietly start looking for the exit. What many leaders don’t realize is how much responsibility they carry […]
3 mistakes that limit coaching results
I finally did something I’ve wanted to do for a long time! After 9 years working as a coach, I’ve noticed a few common obstacles that keep people from getting the most out of a coaching session: What did I do? I finally made a video!!! In under five minutes, it helps new clients (and […]
The moment before things finally change
Usually, growth isn’t fun. There, I said it. If it were, we’d all be walking around enlightened, boundary-holding, well-rested unicorns. But instead, growth often looks like sitting in your car for an extra minute before walking into that meeting…or rereading an email for the fifth time because you know a harder conversation is coming. Who we […]
The hidden cost of holding it all together
I sipped my coffee from the couch while 45-60 mph winds gusted outside. Snow was falling, trees were bending, and out of the corner of my eye, a tree trunk crept into my window view. Then…a thundering crack! This four-story-tall tree came crashing into my neighbor’s yard, miraculously damaging nothing. Not even the trampoline that […]
If you’ve been on the fence, read this
Two of the quiet questions I hear (even when they’re not said out loud) are: “What actually happens on a first coaching call?” And… “Why do I feel hesitant to book one?” Let’s talk about it. What keeps people from booking their first coaching call? Often, it’s not logistics or timing, it’s something more human. […]
Allow me to save you 3 months this year
One of the most interesting patterns I’ve noticed over the years is when people hire a coach. Not why. Not which coach. But when they finally decide to bring in support. For many business owners and executives, it’s somewhere between March and July. I’ve been curious about this and believe it’s due to a few things. Let’s unpack […]
Successful-but something still feels off?
One of the most common questions I hear from business owners and executives is this: “How do I know if I need a coach?” Not which coach. Not how much coaching costs. Just… how to know if coaching is even the right next step. Here’s a simple way to think it through. What challenge are you facing […]
Burned out or stretched thin? Read this.
The morning was just as I had pictured. Twenty women arrived with yoga mats tucked under their arms, a low hum of welcome chatter and bodies releasing a soft sigh of gratitude for the day they had gifted themselves. The Friday before Thanksgiving, I hosted my first ever Out of Office Retreat for Professional Women […]
You don’t need more effort. You need leverage.
What is leverage? It’s a boost. It’s a tool or method you add to your own power to get greater results than you can achieve on your own. I’ll never forget when I helped one particular client stop spinning her wheels in pursuit of her goal. She was focused on increasing activity, but never did […]
