The Silent Treatment
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Most of us have either given it or been on the receiving end of it. Silence. Tension precedes it, and it culminates in the silent treatment.

Are You a Man of Your Word?
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

This question gained serious traction with the male participants at our recent annual Love Retreat. I asked it simply: are you a man of your word? You'd think the answer would come easily. It doesn't.

The Love Retreat 2026: When Couples Begin to See the Dance
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

A Warmhearted Report from our Participants

Couples come to our annual Love Retreat for many different reasons. Some are simply curious about how to deepen an already strong relationship. Others are looking for new tools to communicate better or bring more connection and vitality into their partnership. And sometimes one partner hears about the retreat first and invites the other to join them in exploring something new together.

You Don't Have a Boundaries Problem. You Have a Values Gap.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Boundaries without values are hollow constructions.

Most of us have heard it in therapy, in coaching, from a friend over coffee: "You need to set better boundaries." I've fumbled with this one myself and spent years exploring it, both personally and with clients.

The Other Shoe
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

When Everything Is Good and You're Still Waiting for It to Fall Apart

I've said it myself. I hear it from clients regularly. Everything is going well in relationships, family, business, and yet when describing what's good, many add reflexively: "But, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop."

Purpose Isn't One Thing. It Never Was.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

"I love it when you are in your purpose." Hearing that from my wife felt great.

Here's what was happening. I was getting ready for the season-opening track day organizing the road trip, booking a tech inspection at the shop and swapping brake pads in the garage. In the Pacific Northwest, all the tracks reopen in April after winter break. It's a decades-old passion of mine. And apparently it shows.

The Thing You Keep Not Doing
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

High achievers have a particular relationship with avoidance.

It doesn't look like laziness. It doesn't look like fear. It looks like a full calendar, a long accomplishment list, and a life that, by most visible measures, is working extremely well.

And underneath all of it, quiet, patient, persistent, is the thing you keep not doing.

INDECISIVE? READ ON.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

I've been indecisive. For a long time I didn't think much of it. Then I started paying attention to the energy it took to carry it around. Every unmade decision sitting on a mental to-do list, quietly draining me. When I finally saw what it was costing me, I couldn't unsee it.

Why You Can't Delegate - And What It's Really About
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Get playful, get curious. Take the delegation quiz at the end.

Here is what I hear most often from endodontists when the topic of delegation comes up.
"To do it right, I have to do it myself."
"I don't have time to explain it, so I'll just do it."
"My name is on this."
