There are more unsolved problems today than ever before…
And this despite the numerous books, lectures, programs, TikTok and YouTube videos being produced in the “How to” genre. This also means that there are numerous opportunities for solo professionals, consultants and larger service based organizations to provide solutions for these problems that still exist. Don’t get confused into thinking that in your particular area,…

How to find joy and life in your life…daily
At one point on my journey, I spoke a lot about ‘finding ones voice’. It was an important conversation to have because I found myself so often dialing back, and not fully expressing how I felt. This occurred in many situations. Some serious, others casual, but regardless of the situation, what I was fully aware…

How do we escape what we’ve been told and taught, sold and bought?
I was leaning into a recurring feeling today. It’s a regular visitor this feeling…and it’s never good. It surfaces thoughts of unworthiness and inadequacy; feeling less than and incapable. And then it occurred to me that this feeling is in fact a habit. It arrives right on time, almost every day, just before I start…

If you don’t have this, your business is as good as dead!
Recently I spoke about the importance of understanding what our customers need along each step of their buying journey. Customers need to KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you BEFORE they buy from you.

Don’t give guidance, unless it is based on your knowledge & experience
There are three excuses we love using to avoid preparing methodically and thoroughly: I want to focus specifically on the third excuse: I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. Years ago, when I was involved with AMWAY, I heard a speaker share the following: To know and not to do, is not to know In other…

Don’t go it alone: trust, let go and welcome the unknown
When the student is ready, the teacher appears and she usually walks into a class already in session. Today I was contemplating my need for certainty and where that often leads me. I think that’s why I love rituals so much. Just knowing what is going to happen tomorrow morning…what will happen first, second and…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
If you could better understand one thing about your business right now….
Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.
I help leaders understand what is actually happening before major decisions are made or
resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.
