Yesterday, I wrapped up a coaching package with an executive client of mine, and I am beaming with joy for her.

When we started working together, she set five ambitious goals for herself.

🎉 In six short months, she hit ALL FIVE goals!

Even more impressive - she hit those goals and more than DOUBLED her level of satisfaction with her health and self-care.

That’s right …

👉 A busy executive woman hit her goals while improving her well-being and enjoying her life.

IT.IS.POSSIBLE.

This is exactly what my coaching is designed to do.

No more choosing a successful career or a happy, healthy life.

You can have both.

If you want career success without sacrificing your well-being, I would love to coach you. Book a consultation call at the link in the comments.

I just created a 30-minute talk with REAL solutions to identifying, preventing and healing burnout for one of my corporate clients.

Here's the biggest takeaway: Burnout doesn't happen overnight and it can't be healed overnight.

You can take your life and career back from burnout a little at a time - each day.

So, that vacation you were planning to use to try to "feel better" can just be vacation time - not burnout healing time.

Good news.

I really need you to know a few things:

- The way you make a living should light you up more than it burns you out

- It is possible for you to be successful AND satisfied

- Wanting more in your life and career doesn't make you ungrateful or selfish

If you want BIG success without sacrificing your mental, physical and emotional well-being, I want you to know it is possible.

I blend strategy, mindset and a little bit of woo to help my clients create big results in their businesses and careers WHILE loving their lives. It's possible, and I can help you.

Hi friends - I'll be speaking with Peachtree Road United Methodist Church on Wednesday, May 6 at 7pm. This is a free, virtual event that will focus on how to 'human' during a pandemic. We'll talk about practical tips, reframing our thinking, and how we can all lean on grace, self-compassion, and empathy for others during this time. I hope you can join!

Gain wisdom about how to receive grace - and give it to others - when it is hard to do both.

How does your company culture (the real one, not the one you think you have) connect to the coronavirus? Here's some thoughts on the topic!

There are a lot of great resources out there to help companies navigate the COVID-19 outbreak. One of my favorites comes from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).  Here's one of their great resources, and …

Are you a ladder climber or a bridge builder?



Both are strategies that could help you gain title, money, and power.

But, only one will gain you the respect, buy-in and full cooperation of others.

I work with my clients to increase their influence, not their authority. 



I do this because I’ve seen the power of influence, and I’ve seen authority and control backfire on many people and organizations.



We’ve all been taught to climb the ladder and chase titles and power.

But, every single moment of growth and success I’ve had in my career has been because of my ability to build bridges NOT to climb ladders. 



As a leader, your ability to connect - deeply and meaningfully - will allow you to inspire and motivate people while positively impacting your overall organization. 

This ability will help you get buy-in from your colleagues, clients, members, volunteers, donors, boards of directors and others.

The best part is your ability to influence requires no title and no authority. 



Influence doesn’t care about ladder climbing, and it pays no attention to where you sit on your company’s org chart. 



Anyone can be an influencer - right at the moment.



So, stop worrying about the ladder. Build bridges and watch your influence grow.

4 speeches & a podcast later, I’m saying goodbye to Jackson! A HUGE thank you to the attendees of MEDC’s legislative conference for talking all things and with me!

I’m thrilled to join the Mississippi Economic Development Council (MEDC) for the Conference next week.

We are going to talk about leveling up your presentation skills, crisis communication, perfectionism and what is at the core of influence (hint: it isn’t hashtags; it isn’t networking; and it isn’t your professional title).

Happy 4th everyone!

Do you ever wonder why you can be successful at some things, yet you continue to fail at others?

Perhaps it is because the pain of making change in that area is more painful than failing.

For example, I'm very good at failing to keep a workout schedule. It isn't that I'm incapable of being more fit or meeting goals. It is simply that my mind has decided the pain of actually going to the gym regularly (i.e., making time, getting dressed in workout gear, driving to the gym, prioritizing over other things, etc.) is greater than the pain of being less fit than I'd like.

Now, consider this in the context of your organization.

Are there programs, products, services, etc. that aren't performing? However, the process of making change (e.g., sunsetting them, doing them differently, finding a new audience for them, etc.) seems more painful than the low-to-no ROI you get for them?

So ... you just keep doing them.

Is there someone on your team who isn't performing, yet the process of making change (e.g., coaching, performance improvement actions, termination, recruiting to backfill) seems more painful than picking up their slack?

So ... you let them stay and don't hold them to the same standards of excellence you hold yourself and the rest of your team.

It isn't change itself that scares us and paralyzes us. It is the process of change that holds us back.

What would it look like for you and your organization if change could be appropriately initiated, managed and communicated? What might you create, change or stop doing? How might your team thrive? What might your culture look like?

Change is what keeps your organization successful and relevant. Don't let the fear of the process hold you back from evaluating your work, your team and your culture. Even small change can amount to big success.
