Being stuck. It is something we have all experienced at one point or another. Sometimes it can feel like being on one side of a very high stone wall. What does that picture evoke for you?

In my new blog I share the power of metaphors and how they can make a complex, seemingly overwhelming challenge seem contained. Read on for how they can help you develop the capacity to redirect your mind and feel more confident: https://www.fifthgearcoaching.com/blog/metaphors

Being stuck. It is something we have all experienced at one point or another. Sometimes it can feel like being on one side of a very high stone wall. We keep trying to put our foot here and our hands there but no matter what we do, we can’t get enough traction to make progress that will carry us o...

In many ways, we have become a society filled with celebrating people’s failures. We give far greater focus to the missteps, not as opportunities to learn, but as indicators of true capacities. Being aware of this tendency to focus on what wasn’t is the first step in moving from a failure mindset to a success mindset.

When you think back at the end of a day or a week, what are the top three things your mind goes to? Do you look at success or failure?

Today I'm sharing why I think it's important to slow down to speed up. I challenge you to think about one or two things that you do that if you could stop doing them would enable you to have the time to do something of greater impact.

Do you have time to do them or are you in the habit?

“Stepping out of your comfort zone” seems to be the phrase of the decade. When we think of “stepping out” we tend to think of it in terms of big bold steps – a new job, a change in career direction, a major relocation, or a significant change in a relationship status.

In my latest blog, I share why it is important to challenge yourself to grow and develop new ways of thinking, leading and interacting, even if it doesn’t feel good at first: https://www.fifthgearcoaching.com/blog/comfortzone

“Stepping out of your comfort zone” seems to be the phrase of the decade. We often hear it used when someone is describing what enabled them to make a big move in their lives.

You hear that phrase a lot – you are enough. It may seem counterintuitive to believe you are enough while at the same time trying to grow, learn, and get better. But being enough is not about seeing yourself as a completed project. In fact – it is the opposite.

Anyone who has paid any attention to what I have been saying over the past few weeks is fully familiar with my metaphor of life being a journey – a road we are on. Here is another part of that story – there is no final destination. Your drive doesn’t end until you actually run out of gas with ...

How would you describe your leadership style? Would it be the same way your team would describe it? Would you want to work for you? If you aspire to be a leader who inspires dedication, loyalty, and commitment from your team, shifting the way you talk about your team can be a first step in becoming who you want to be.

This is my journey. Many years ago, I started my search firm. I launched this business because it gave me what I wanted from work.

Yesterday, I launched the next evolution in my journey –– my podcast, Beyond Neutral. My goal is to offer a wider audience the opportunity to learn from some of the amazing people I have had the chance to know over the many years of my business.

If you think of yourself and the life you lead with the same objectivity as a business – what is your strategic plan? What assets should you leverage, liabilities minimize, and how are you investing in your future? After all, you are the CEO of you.

No business ever grew to greatness without some kind of a plan. My newest blog talks about where to consider investing your time:

Words are powerful. Often, when we hear that phrase, we associate the concept with robust dialog, succinctly developed prose, or emotionally charged language delivered with passion. Small words – the ones we use in everyday language can equally impact a listener - sometimes in very unintended ways.

My latest blog uncovers why the word “but” should be used carefully and rarely. Here's why: https://www.fifthgearcoaching.com/blog/littlewords
