How one simple idea can lead to more success
This chance encounter was not so 'by chance'. And, it reinforced a concept that I learned early on in my sales career...
Finding Focus in your busy life
Life happens.
It can feel like we are swept up in the tides of life being carried on this current or that. There are so many things that come at us that we 'need' to deal with...
The courage to strive
I've been in a number of conversations with professionals/business owners who want better for themselves - who are striving to put their talents and skills to better or more constructive use, who want to feel fulfilled each day, or who want to step into their own leadership skills and lead with confidence.
The power of Intention in your career & business
This power is not to be underestimated.
Your Intention can make profound things happen. It can create changes or actions that may feel small at the time but can have a big impact on how your life events unfold.
Your car, a puzzle, sleep and your business
Like the cylinders in a car or cogs in a wheel, your business has components that make it run well.
Just like your car's engine, your healthy body, or a puzzle, when one component isn't working, your entire business begins to struggle to keep up....
What's really behind your procrastination?
I've been thinking about the relationship between intent and behaviour.
In life, so many of us have goals - to eat better, to increase our exercise, to be present at home more...
I'm guessing you can relate to the idea of intending to eat well and then making a poor choice of snack. Or, intending to get more sleep, yet, making the decision to check your social media accounts late into the night.
When it comes to your business or career, we also set goals and then find ourselves making poor decisions that don't get us close.....
I always find it interesting to look at our behaviours towards those goals because it tells us what our relationship is to them, and it can reveal something deeper at play....
Are you ready for your new story?
We are a culmination of our experiences and environment.
We are the main protagonist in our story. We hold on to our stories of who we've been and they become our identity.
But, what happens when a part of our story no longer serves us? What happens when we hold onto a part of our story that actually limits our future growth and success?
Do you plan for the 1 thing that can stop you in your tracks!
I've noticed that when we plan to accomplish a goal and create our actions, there's a piece missing that can de-rail so many of us. Setting the goal and determining how we'll get there is only a piece of the puzzle...
Accounting for that 'thing' that has the potential to de-rail us could be an important component of your next goal setting and action planning exercise.....
Wanting a consistent flow of clients? Try this...
Starting your business – the one that you’ve thought of, explored and now finally launched out into the world, is a huge accomplishment.
What comes next is no easy task.
Finding people to work with: Clients. Customers.
It all begins with a decision.
A decision so powerful it changes the course of things.
At first, it’s not visible on the surface, to anyone else.
What are my business goals? What are the right actions to these goals?
Between blogging, booking yourself into networking events, focussing on one product/service offering or the next....how do you know where to focus your time and energy?
Why do you do what you do?
Something else was calling to me and I just couldn't figure it out.
Where is your success?
If you’re having trouble moving forward, figuring out the next step in your life – whether it be your career, your business, or your personal life and you feel that you just don’t know which way to take things, looking to your past could offer up clues....
What is coaching anyway? And do I need it?
What is coaching? And what does it mean to be coached?
Before going into a definition of coaching – first let me share with you these words:....
How do you want to BE today?
I had this realization a while back and since then, I've found it to be true so many times that I thought I would share it here.
I realized that as we move through our days, we are faced with a myriad of opportunities in how we 'show up'.
Want something? Stop thinking about it, take action now.
I've noticed something that happens to many of us when we have a goal we want to achieve... Something we’ve never achieved before.

Burned out? This is what I did to immediately turn it around...Part 1
This is Part I of a two-part article.
There have been times in my career when I got very close to burnout but was able to re-set myself – even when I started new jobs and dove into each new learning curve and new set of challenges.
However, one senior role was very hectic.
