New job? Maybe. I started with a new client and they noted that as they were thinking about starting a family maybe other job options might have more balance. They had done what a lot of my clients had done: focus on their job and work harder to succeed. And...

Let’s make it easy
One of the reasons I wanted to do last week's panel on personal brand is that while it can make a huge impact, you can actually make some easy changes once you start to think about it. And yes, you can also make it hard, but that's not what we're about. So, I...
2024 books so far
I made a decision last year as I was writing up my 2023 best books list (and tv and movies) that I was going to at least write down the books that I had read each quarter so it wouldn't be such a slog at the end of the year. I missed the first quarter so I promised...
Are you doing enough relationship building?
In our panel conversation Living in a World of Layoffs, we talked a lot about how important relationships are no matter your current situation. When we're talking about hiring the statistics are significant. Most say that at least 50% of roles are filled via...
Living in a world of layoffs

You need help!
I often have people tell me that they know someone (or someones) that could use a coach. But they're not sure if it's ok to share a coach referral because basically, they feel like they're telling them that there is something wrong with them. The first part of...
Stop dreading that conversation
I spent some time recently talking about my Black Friday offers. Honestly, sales offers usually feel a little awkward. But I remind myself that I'm offering it because I think it's a good deal on a good course that will really benefit you. And whether you chose to...
Why aren’t we doing stuff?
I was talking to one of my clients. They were trying to focus on making progress in a few areas. They finally basically said, I tell all the right things to my team but I'm not doing them. So why don't we do them? Well, the answers are both very personal and...
Is it time to get out?
One of my clients came to me when there was a lot of transition in their company. They were a Sr. Director and had a new manager and a new skip manager. And these new people were making things so unfun they were thinking of retiring early. They hadn't quite hit the...
