Do you find yourself wishing for X to happen? or Y to change so that invisible "thing" you've been wanting can become a reality?

Just wishin' won't get you there. Neither will just hopin'.

You need to create the goals to get you there. And goals must have action plans...otherwise, what you have is what you started with...a wish.

Need some help getting started? Check out my blog for "21 Questions to Extraordinary Goals."

Many of us have no idea how to set goals...and in the work environment, many managers don't know how to help their employees set them either. This is a great resource to share with your teams, too!

Any of these things resonate with you?

1. Your life, business, career, etc. is already good...but you want it to be much, much better.
2. You want YOU to be so much better.
3. You're going through a major career transition: you don't like what you are doing anymore and you want a change. But, you have no idea how to go about it.
4. You really want to get promoted at work but you don't know how to increase your executive presence, be seen differently, showcase your skills, etc.
5. You've set goals but are having difficulty putting those goals into actionable steps.
6. You're a high achiever...but...you constantly wonder "is this all there is?"
7. You're ready to invest in yourself for a change...
8. It's been a hot minute since you've looked for a new job. You need help with your resume, your LinkedIn profile, putting together job search strategies, etc.

Coaching is not crisis intervention. It's not a substitute for psychotherapy. It doesn't focus on the past...it focuses on the here & now....and how to move forward to reach your goals.


To celebrate the re-launch of my business. I am offering 6 hours of coaching for $300. This looks like 2 hours/month (you'll have assignments to work on in between), and I do offer payment plans.

This coaching package can include a behavioral assessment if you are interested for an extra $50. We will run the report and review it together. (Familiar with the DISC profile?)

DISC helps you:
~Increase your self-awareness & understanding of your communication preferences
~Learn how you respond to conflict
~Uncover what keeps you motivated
~Discover your approach to problem-solving & decision-making
~Understand others' communication styles

(If you only want the DISC report and debrief and not the coaching, we can do that, too. $125)

*These discounted prices are only good through the end of February. Share with anyone in your network. They must message me to tell me, though, who they heard this promotional information from!

What is Executive Coaching? It’s a powerful tool used to develop senior leaders within an organization. Designed to challenge and support executives to find solutions to their challenges within themselves, Executive Coaches are skilled in having targeted conversations that help leaders get to the heart of their challenges, both personally and professionally.

❓Do you interface or collaborate with executives in your daily role? Have you ever wondered what you could do to improve the way you strategically work alongside these business partners?

❓Are you a coach wanting to expand your disciplines to include Executive Coaching? You’ve noticed that your business has shifted perhaps and you would like to have more formal training in the area of executive coaching.

❓And finally, are you a new leader who could benefit from learning how to work with this group of upper leaders more effectively and with greater impact?

💡 Benjamin Mumme introduced me to the concept of Ikigai (pronounced "eye-ka-guy").

From the Japanese word ikiru meaning “to live” and kai meaning “the sensation of what hopes for.” Together, these definitions create a “reason to live” or having a “life purpose.”

New studies on Japanese philosophy have shown life fulfillment through Ikigai as a key component to longevity.

❓❓ But what is it?

It is a union point of 4 fundamental components of life: PASSION. VOCATION. PROFESSION. MISSION.

💥In other words, it is where what your passions and talents converge with the things the world needs and is willing to pay for.

According to Japanese culture, everyone has ikigai. To help us figure out what our ikigai is, there are four questions that can help us find the path.

You must ask yourself these questions to find your Ikigai:

1. What do I love? (PASSION)
2. What am I good at? (VOCATION)
3. What can I be paid for? (PROFESSION)
4. What does the world need? (MISSION)

Write these questions down where you will see them often. They can be used as a compass to bring you closer to your purpose. Just as your career journey changes, so will your Ikigai. It's important to remember that true Ikigai will only exist when all 4 criteria converge.

☑️Are you experiencing Ikigai?
☑️ Which of the 4 criterion are missing?
☑️Are you in a job? A career? Or a calling?

📞For a 30-minute complimentary "Find Your Focus" session to talk about your career purpose, drop "FOCUS" in the comments.

Ready. Aim. Talent Up.

Do you ever have days when you want to break that "dig deep" button? You know what I'm talking about, right? To quote Brene Brown in her book "The Gifts of Imperfection:"

"It's the button that you rely on when you're too bone tired to get up one more time in the middle of the night, or do another load of laundry, or catch one more plane, or return one more call, or to please/perform/perfect the way you normally do even when you just want to flip someone off and hide under the covers."

The dig deep button is a secret level of pushing through when we're exhausted, overwhelmed, there's too much to do, we're on the verge of breaking so we fake it till we make it...but we don't focus on our own self-care. We soldier on, push through, suck it up.

If you're like me, your DIG button is having the reverse effect on you. Instead of making you more productive, you are probably operating in a fog and stressing yourself out. So, redefine what your DIG button means. For me, it just became:

🔶D: Do Me- whatever I decide that's to be: a movie, a walk, etc.
🔶I: Initiate "self care" mode
🔶G: Go do something mindless

✔️Yes, it's a mindset shift. And yes, it's going to take some work to remember to engage the RIGHT DIG BUTTON. But in the craziness of today's world, you have to own your self-care.

💡How will you define your DIG button?

You’ve heard it- people are quitting their jobs in record numbers. You may even be one of them or know someone who has just turned in their notice. I spoke with a client last week who said she quit the job that she’d had for 6 years because “I no longer really enjoyed it, and plus, they didn’t give us an increase or a bonus in 2 years.” She quit this job without another job so she has zero income coming in, but she is confident that she will land a new job in a new career field in a brand-new city where she knows no one for at least $10k more than she was making. Let's be realistic. I'm not sure that's a reality.

I tried to dig deep to get answers as to why she no longer enjoyed the work…and she could only say that it was no longer fulfilling. She couldn’t articulate really what she wanted to do…she just knew it wasn’t what she was doing.

A piece of advice: don’t quit your job without knowing the answers to some very critical questions:

1. Why do I want to quit? What is it about this job, this boss, this company that I don’t like?

2. What do I want to do? What type of company do I want to work for? What type of boss do I want to work for? What type of coworkers do I want to work with? Why do I want to do X? and what value do I bring to the table for X? Can I articulate why a company should hire me for X?

3. What role do I personally play in my unhappiness in this current position???? And will getting another job fix that? What do I need to do to ensure that this next job will bring me what I’m looking for?

4. If I quit without another job, how long am I going to give myself to land Preferred Job #1 before I HAVE to take Job #2 or Job #3 on my list in order to pay my bills?

The grass is not always greener on the other side. And if you don’t spend some quality time answering the questions laid out above, you will likely take a job where you literally may be going from the frying pan to the fire because you haven’t assessed what you need to in order to avoid what could be even a worse situation than you were originally in.

Learned fear can be overcome.
When you realize the voice inside your head is not yours...
It's an imitation of the voices from before
Repeating on a loop inside your quiet core
And you can't tell the difference
'Cause it all sounds the same
But trust me when I tell you
Most of what you think
Is from somebody else's brain...
~unknown

Don't let the saboteurs silence your dreams or convince you that you don't deserve that which you desire. Work to overcome these voices & silence the inner critic:

Step 1: Notice the critic. (Keep a log for 1 week!)
Step 2: Separate the critic from you. (Give that critic a name: like Old Hag or PIA).
Step 3: Talk back. Tell the Old Hag to go away.
Step 4: Replace the critic- notice the good things about yourself.
Step 5: Speak positively to yourself about yourself- out loud.

What you say out loud is believed by your subconscious mind. Put positive affirmations on Post-It notes- stick them on your bathroom mirror. On your laptop. On the dashboard of your car. And read them - aloud. You might be amazed at how better you start to feel.
