Does your lack of planning get you in trouble? Keep you behind the eight-ball? Cause you to just barely make your deadlines…or maybe be a wee-bit late? I’ve worked with tons of amazing, driven women, and I’d say they’re most challenged with this very skill. Planning. Planning ahead but also planning in the moment. Like…
Is everything surreal to you too? I feel like we’re experiencing what we’ve only read about in history books or seen in science fiction movies. So many questions and so few answers. There ARE a few things that are in our control though. 1) Washing our hands every 3 minutes! 2) Keeping a reasonable distance…
You were made for more than email. You were made for more than text messages. You were made for more than dings, rings, and chirps. You, my sweet friend, were not put on this earth to spend your day in distractions. The universe, God, your parents, did not have dreams of you head down, responding,…
As I think back on my life I realize the periods I’ve lost the MOST time are all due to the same thing. Just ONE reason. One mistake I made over and over. It was when I settled. I settled for far too long in almost every area of my life. I settled for a…
You know the project is coming up. You know the event is around the corner. You know the meeting is on the calendar. And because you’ve thought ahead… You’ve gone over the details. You’ve made your lists. You’ve planned to be ready. So why then my sweet friend… …Are you running around like cray-cray, hours,…
OMG sweet friend. I just heard another one. “I’m too old.” “I don’t have enough experience.” “They’d never let me work from home.” “It’s too hard to learn.” “It’s hasn’t been done like that before.” “Who am I to ask?” “Why would they listen to me?” “I can’t say no.” Excuses. But to you, they…
We just got back from a stunning wedding and vacay in Spain. It was magnificent. From the food to the people, to the culture — I was in love. However…(you knew there was a, however)…the one thing that drove me bonkers was the time it took to get meals. Within a few days, I’d learned…
You’re no stranger to distractions. There are the usual suspects like email, texts, rings, dings, and chirps. But there are also the people. The people you work with, the people in your company, the people in your family. The people. They don’t mean harm (I think!) but their constant interruptions throw you off focus and…
Yup, it happened. Again. Somewhere between my aching throat, guests in town, seemingly neverending home renovations, and the grand cougar of them all…Thanksgiving break…I completely fell off track. Routine? What routine?? Seriously. I was sleeping in, not working out, eating crapola, barely planning…I’m disappointing myself just thinking about it. 🙁 Which meant what I was…
I recently made a mistake on a call with an awesome woman interested in coaching. I told her that in order to partner with me she had to be “100% in.” By the end of our conversation, she said she was torn because she was only 80% there. “What’s your other 20% saying?” “I’m scared.”…
