“Get comfortable being uncomfortable” is a healthy guideline for participation in our session rooms. It’s a way of working together that facilitates greatness when fully embraced by the people in the room. No matter how many times I walk teams through this, I’m surprised at how it frees leaders up and grants permission to say the things they previously only…
Sometimes you simply need to connect. Nothing more. Time to relax, be outdoors, let your mind roam, break up the monotony, do something different, and be at peace letting go of the pace. When you do, you are renewed. There is space. There is abundance and connection and caring. When you make the time, time expands, and you are better…
Sometimes, organizing the environment around you calms the mind. When I receive challenges, bad news, or find myself feeling overwhelmed, I organize and clean. For whatever reason, it calms my mind, gives me time to think, reduces external clutter, and during the process, I reduce internal clutter. It does not take much brain power for me to clean and organize…
I read a simple quote today. It says: “God has only three answers to your prayers, There’s no downside. Do I have the presence to pray as if it’s up to God and act as if it’s up to me? Today, this is my framework for success as I do the work.
Goals. They’ve seemed more challenging to envision this year, haven’t they? When uncertainty prevails, we default to paralysis.

It’s like when you buy a new car or get a new phone or tablet – you suddenly see them everywhere. Where there were none, suddenly they appear as if someone highlighted them on a blank piece of…
8,760. That’s the number of hours you have in a year. 168 hours each week. It doesn’t sound like a lot to me when you consider the number of hours you sleep, the time you spend in the car, getting ready for your day and other mandatory functions like putting gas in your car, purchasing groceries and other tasks. When…
Do you ever seek advice when you already know the answer? You know, the right answer. For YOU, not the right answer for others. Me too. There are great questions to ask when people seek you for advice, here are a few: Any of these questions open the door for people to find their answers, not yours. When you take…
The enemy of connection is distraction. Do you agree? I do. What can you do to delete, diminish, or discontinue the amount of distraction you allow or create? Whether on a screen, in person with devices chiming in, busy multitasking, or any number of other things which can limit, alter, or seize our attention – what can you do? It’s…
Distractions. The world is filled with them. Whether it’s your social media, ads on your favorite shows, in your feed or the person who interrupts you at work – or several of them, your day is filled with interruptions.
