A few weeks ago, I was talking with a leader who seemed to have everything under control. Her team was doing well, and important projects were moving forward. But when I asked how she was doing, she paused and said, “I feel like I’m constantly behind.” I hear versions of this all the time. We…
I walked off the TEDx stage and burst into tears. I forgot a few lines, stumbled, and lost my place. I remember thinking, “Well, that was a disaster.” Fast forward to this week. The talk went live a few days ago, and since then… My inbox has filled with messages, comments, and kind notes from people…
I’ve been saying for months that I want to go live on Instagram every day. And every day, I have a reason not to. The lighting’s not right. My camera’s too shaky. My sound sucks. I need more time to set up. So on Monday, I finally did something about it. I turned my sunroom…
Here’s one thing I’ve learned in life: Problems aren’t always what they seem. I was recently partnering with a leadership team that told me: “Everyone’s behind, reacting, and struggling to follow through.” Then they said, “We just need more time.” Which meant they needed to work longer hours… Or hire more people. But after spending…
“Nothing’s wrong… I just feel like I’m constantly trying to keep up.” That’s what my client said, a few weeks after she was promoted. On paper, her growing team and results looked like progress. But her days felt heavier, not easier. Because the way she was working hadn’t caught up to the level she was…
This is a tool I bring up in almost every training I lead. And almost every time, I get the same reaction. A few polite nods. A couple of people writing it down. And a lot of people thinking… that’s it? It feels too simple to matter. But then we try it. And that’s when everything…
Ever look at your list for the day and think, “Yup, I can get all of this done.” And then 5 pm rolls around and somehow… you didn’t. You stayed busy. You checked things off. You moved from one task to the next. And still, it feels like you fell short. There’s a reason for that….
This wasn’t on our itinerary. And it ended up being the best part of the trip. We came to Argentina with a plan. Hotels booked. Restaurants reserved. Flights set. And then we got here and kept hearing about Iguazu Falls. So we pivoted. Canceled reservations. Changed hotels. Booked new flights. Reworked everything. And it was…
A few months ago, I had something important sitting on my list. Working on a bigger-picture plan for my business. No deadline. No pressure. No one waiting on it. And every day, I told myself, I’ll get to it tomorrow. Tomorrow turned into next week. Next week turned into… still not done. Meanwhile, I was busy….
It’s a wrap. I did it. I spoke on a TEDx stage this past Saturday. And I’m really proud of myself. Also… I have never been that nervous. Not even close. And that’s saying something after years of speaking. The pressure and the weight of it were a lot. But I knew I was stretching…
