If you’ve been feeling like there’s never enough time to get everything done, I want to offer a different perspective. After coaching thousands of professionals, I’ve found that time usually isn’t what’s holding us back. More often, it’s how we manage three things: Our attention. Our intention. And our retention. I call it the AIR Framework. When these three work together,…
You’d think by now I’d know better. Every once in a while, I catch myself thinking, “Maybe I just need a better system.” I mean, I have a system that would work…if I used it. But it feels easier to look for something better than to do the work that’s sitting right in front of…
You know when you’re having a pretty good day; getting things done, crossing them off the list. And then… You get that email. A client is frustrated. Someone questions your work. A comment catches you off guard. And suddenly, it’s all you can think about. You reread the message. Replay the conversation. Imagine worst-case scenarios….
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….
