When you start off September uninspired
September normally feels like the second start to the year for me. I often feel excited, energized and inspired to develop something new and fresh. Not this year.

Lacking motivation in your Career?
Ok, so you're lacking purpose? Feeling bored by your career? Having a hard time feeling motivated? Finding it hard to feel excited?
Improve an important work relationship
Relationships can be a wonderful source of joy or a crippling source of pain and stress. This is true at work as much as in our personal relationships. And yet, we never learn some of the basic elements of healthy relationships.
The Source of all your problems
We often believe that solutions to our biggest challenges, should be hard. The hero's journey is characterized by a hero that faces a challenge, struggles and comes through it stronger, wiser and victorious. So, it's no surprise that we believe that solutions must be hard.
A love letter to leaders
Leadership is our hope for the future. It's where answers are created, strategies are crafted and plans are put into action. This note is for the leader within you.
Rebuilding yourself & Your Career
Some clients are rebuilding themselves and their relationships, others are rebuilding their careers and leadership. This is a great thing, because rebuilding gives us power. The power of creation.
Why we fail and what to do about it
At this time of year, we find renewed motivation to transform. The sad reality is that mostly these changes don't stick. Our motivation wanes, we slip, we tell ourselves a story about our lack of will power, that we're doomed to fail and solidify ourselves in our old habits.
Tis the season to embrace uncertainty and release control.
The nice thing about being an executive coach is that I get to go to a meditation wellness retreat in a 5-star resort and declare it's for work! (I think my hubby is on to me though).

or most of this year, we have been living through a basement renovation that has tested our patience. It's led to some communication lapses, misalignment and a few heated debates.
Trust is overrated. Try Testing Instead.
This year, as a mom of 3 kids and an entrepreneur running a business, I went to Portugal for 10 weeks! The younger version of me would have worried whether this was the right thing to do for my business? For my kids? For my marriage? All valid considerations.
Are you willing for it to go poorly?
"Until you're willing for it to go poorly, you'll continue to play small." These words hit me like a ton of sharp needles piercing every inch of my body. She was right and I knew it. What had kept me safe was also stunting my potential, my joy and my creativity.
It's time for a break.
I've never really taken any prolonged amount of time off. And so this year, I'm "doing" summer a little differently. I've decided to spend the entire summer in Europe. I'm planning to travel, eat great food, play, explore, let go of work schedules, and invest in relationships.
The State of the World
Just as things seemed to be improving with Covid, the war in Ukraine has us heartbroken and uncertain about the future once again. Like so many, you might be feeling a multitude of emotions - sadness, anger, tiredness, irritability, grief and a general lack of motivation.
TAPPING INTO OUR INNATE RESILIENCE
