I broke my own rules yesterday.

I’m in a particularly busy season professionally with lots of demands on my time, and my husband has recently opened a brand new business at FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers - Concord, NC .

For me, Sundays are fiercely protected and typically reserved for time with my husband and REST. I’m on the GO, GO, GO most of the week and need to have one day set aside to recharge. Sundays are MY DAY.

But yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the day with three amazing friends whom I’ve known for more than 20 years. We’ve all had an intense few years with personal and professional challenges. But yesterday….we put it all aside.

🍳We brunched.
😂We laughed (A LOT).
🚊We rode the LYNX light rail for the first time.
📣We cheered (loudly).
🎉 We celebrated.
👂We listened to one another.
💖 We encouraged each other.

And it was simply the BEST way for me to recharge for this busy week ahead, because I’ve missed being with these women for far too many years. It all came together in a couple of quick text messages.

How do you recharge? What energizes you? What can you do this week to make recharging and renergizing a priority?

SUNDAY SCARIES (aka Sunday Night Syndrome): the horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach that often starts on Sunday afternoon when you think about starting another week in a job that you dislike or maybe even dread.

I can relate. For many years I struggled with that terrible pit in my stomach that also made my heart start to race when I would think of all that was facing me in the office on Monday morning.

The only real solution I found was to
TAKE ACTION!

Do something for yourself this week that will get the ball rolling for a better Monday and week ahead.

Here are a few ideas for you to consider this week to GET STARTED:

📆 Put time on your calendar to browse possible open jobs
💻 Refresh your LinkedIn Profile
☕️Schedule coffee with a mentor/trusted colleague to discuss ideas for a career move
🤔 Create some space and time to think about what you really want (and what you don’t) in your next role
✍️ Start a journal to document ideas, priorities, thoughts about what is important in your career and WHY

What else would you list as a possible first step to get your MOMENTUM going??

As 2021 drew to a close, I learned 1️⃣0️⃣ important lessons during an unlikely, once-in-a-lifetime event.

On December 30, 2021 my husband Aaron hit a HOLE-IN-ONE⛳️💥🏌️‍♂️at NorthStone Country Club.

According to PGA of America, only 1-2% of golfers score “an ace” in a given year. And a player golfs an AVERAGE of 24 YEARS BEFORE he/she makes a hole-in-one. That’s almost a quarter of a century- can you believe that?

Here are the 10 things I learned on that exciting afternoon:
1. Always surround yourself with a team of great people.
2. Have friends who’ll drop everything to celebrate your success on a random Thursday afternoon.
3. You don’t need the most expensive equipment to achieve exceptional outcomes.
4. Your approach doesn’t have to be conventional to be effective (NOTE: his preferred golf footwear🩴)
5. You can still compete successfully with people who’ve been at it longer and have more skills than you do.
6. CONSISTENCY is key- Aaron has been at it for 16 years and played hundreds of rounds.
7. Don’t give up- Plenty of drives have gone in the bunker or the water, but each week he goes back to the course.
8. Music makes everything better (he routinely pumps 90s rap in the cart).
9. HAVE FUN whether you’re playing your best or worst round.
10. You gotta PLAY if you want a chance for VICTORY!

Four years ago tonight, I was settling into my couch at home after shutting down my corporate laptop and closing the door to my office on the 23rd floor in Uptown Charlotte for the very last time.

I was walking away from a global bank.
I was walking away from a 20+ year in financial services where I was fortunate enough to work with multinational companies in different countries. I learned from and led hundreds of talented professionals.

I walked TOWARDS a WIDE OPEN future that was undefined and unknown. I left on my own terms: no layoff, no restructure, and no hard feelings. It was my very own .

The road has not been easy, nor without hurdles, obstacles and setbacks, but tonight I am celebrating a GREAT day! Today I am celebrating the "portfolio career" I've built in which I'm wearing a few different hats in my professional life.

Today I worked hard for Social Venture Partners Charlotte where I attended a class, planned our last board meeting of 2022, and wrote my Director report.

Tonight I had a conversation with a potential new client for my Pivot Point Professionals, LLC coaching practice.

And over my lunch hour I did some on behalf of Beck, MBA's new FYZICAL Physical Therapy business, which will be opening in Concord, NC in Q1 2022.

There is no such thing as a straight line or a 'right path' in your career. You should be charting your OWN PATH.

💥Be Bold.
💪Be Brave.
🔥Be Driven.
🙏🏻Be Discerning.
😎Be YOU!

And celebrate 🎉, because YOU ARE of a life and a career that you enjoy, can succeed, and will fulfill you.

To all of you whose paths have crossed with mine, thank you for your encouragement and support. I wouldn't be here without you.

Who else is out there wearing multiple professional hats?

Hey Monday! We are coming for you…and we are gonna get some stuff D-O-N-E.
One of the most important things to being productive is knowing when your energy has peaks and valleys. For me, it’s mornings. So on this Monday following Thanksgiving it meant setting my alarm extra early and going to my FAVE coffee shop before a scheduled meeting for some and uninterrupted quiet time to get some things knocked off my long to do list early this morning! What’s your best tip for getting things done?

On the eve of Thanksgiving, a day off to just “be” for me, I have enjoyed leisurely browsing, reading, and reflecting in my local library. In a world of high tech, fast paced innovation, I’m enjoying the slow, quiet solitude buried amongst the stacks.
So among the countless blessings I will celebrate tomorrow, today I’m thankful for:
📚Free access to books
✍️Smart, creative and talented authors
👩‍👧My mom who taught me to love to read
🏫Public libraries that invite and embrace curiosity
