When I first joined an adult competitive swim team after a looonngg time out of the water, I was super intimidated by the other people. To me, they were athletes. I was just someone who went to practice and swam laps.

Sometimes, it feels like all we do is try! I'm constantly trying, trying, trying. Trying to plan one thing or another in life or at work and it can get tiring. I've thought about this a lot and decided I'd like to take a different approach.

Please check out my latest blog post about why you should stop trying!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the word “trying.” I’ve decided I say that word too often. Maybe you do, too? Do you say any of these kinds of sentences? “I’m trying to get this...

It was a joy to work with my friend and collaborator, Annie Bradberry, to deliver this workshop in Parsippany, New Jersey in 2008. We helped people find ways to stretch out of their comfort zones and step into their vibrant, meaningful futures.
