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.”…
The outline you created. The closet you tore through. The book you started. So many beginnings…without an end. (Insert faceplant). It’s so exciting when you get the burst of energy to get going on a project or task. And so defeating when it drags on forever and it feels like there is no light at…
I can rattle off lists of productivity hacks, tools, and tips but they would be useless. Yup, useless. Until you are totally clear on what you want. What do you want personally? What do you want professionally? What do you really want? Usually, when I ask people (clients) this question they respond something like this:…
If you were with me the last couple of weeks, thank you for being part of my Life In Control launch – and for sticking with me! It was a pretty intense period as I was pouring my time and energy into connecting with fabulous people, writing a ton, working out technology challenges, running webinars,…
You know that document you need to create? Or those expense reports you need to work on? Or that strategy you really need to plan? Yeah that one. The one you keep putting off. Guess what? That prolonged project is not a sign of your procrastination. It’s not a sign of your lack of motivation….
It’s 9:08am. You’ve got a laundry list of important things to do and are motivated to make headway. So you sit down to get it done and poof! Your day disappears. It’s magic. But not the fun kind that makes you oooh and ahhh. More like, “Wait, don’t make it vanish! I haven’t gotten anything…
Most of my life I’ve struggled with self confidence. Which may be surprising to some. I speak on big stages. I jump on live videos. I express myself through blogs and books. I do those “acts of confidence” only because underlying it all – I’ve developed one habit. One habit that has transformed me from…
