Getting down to business

When business growth means personal growth

Years ago, I started the entrepreneurial journey the same way many people start it: I had a skill I was good at, worked at a place that sucked, and decided “I can do it better than that guy…I should start my OWN business!” I was a hair colorist, working in a salon that was, well, [...]

Ready to step up your game?

Just a quick note today, because my head is full. O-ver-flowing, I tell you! See, I just wrapped up with another group from The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge, which is always a bit of a bittersweet moment. Yay, it was awesome! Yay, women are getting gutsier! Being bolder! Speaking their truth! Doing courageous, brave [...]

What are you moving towards?

One of the things I keep finding myself saying to my coaching clients is that there is no “there” to get to, the work is rarely “done” in terms of personal growth, changing habits, or being more of the person you want to be. We set off on a personal growth journey to learn something [...]

Fear is a habit–time to quit.

One of the things about being a coach is that at least for me, I think it’s really important to walk your talk. In other words, if I’m spending all this energy encouraging other women to be more courageous and gutsy, then I better be pushing my own edge of the envelope from time to [...]

Compassion, Competition or Comparision?

I was in Santa Fe recently, taking a workshop called Transformational Speaking. I could probably write for weeks about the many things I experienced and learned while I was there, but for now I want to tell you about a particular piece that keeps resonating with me in my everyday life. One of the first [...]

My Favorite Personal Growth Books: A Short List

I love to read. I love just about anything having to do with books, and so if you’ve been a client of mind (or, for that matter, anyone who has had a conversation with me) you’ll know that I am always popping off book recommendations. And recently, I was asked to put together a list [...]

Thank you. Yes, YOU.

Thank you. Yes, I’m talking to you. You, my biggest fan, my eternal cheerleader, my sounding board, my shoulder to lean on, my fiercest critic, my loyal reader, my constant support system. My friend, my client, my colleague, my cohort. I am so grateful for you. You are there for me, thick and thin, giving [...]

The Year In Review (and a little something for YOU)

Every year, about this time, I like to reflect back on the year drawing to a close, and do some intention-setting around the year ahead. I’m not exactly a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but that being said, I think there is great value in spending some time consciously envisioning what lies ahead and what [...]

What if you ask better questions?

I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty easy for me to get caught up in the “what if” spiral. What if I make a mistake? What if they don’t like me? What if I end up looking like a total idiot? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don’t have enough [...]

Two magic words to get you unstuck

Lately, I’ve found that there is magic and possibility in two little words. These two words have the power to unstick me like WD-40, to take me from indecision to action, to move me from paralyzed by too many choices to picking one thing and rolling with it. Those two magic words are “for now”. [...]
