This one is for coaches building online programs or client-based businesses. The Harvard Business Review article on “The Discipline of Teams” is older — but still incredibly relevant. It highlights:
• Why clarity of roles improves performance
• The importance of shared accountability
• How structure supports results

For coaches, this isn’t just about teams inside corporations. It applies to:
• Group coaching programs
• Mastermind facilitation
• Client onboarding clarity
• Even how you define expectations with 1:1 clients

My takeaway: Coaching outcomes improve when structure and expectations are clearly defined — not just inspiration.

If you’re planning an event this year, this is a great resource to bookmark. Cvent put together a really practical guide to event planning that walks through strategy, timelines, and ex*****on. What I like about this one: - Breaks down each phase clearly (before, during, after) - Emphasizes attendee experience—not just logistics - Includes checklists you can actually use This is especially helpful if you’re running events without a big team behind you. https://buff.ly/c2wLAze

AI is getting better at giving us answers.
But I’m starting to think the more important skill is knowing when to question them.

I use AI regularly in my work—for research, brainstorming, content, problem-solving, and plenty of other things.
And it can be incredibly helpful.
But I’ve also learned not to automatically accept what it gives me.

Does this actually make sense?
Is it accurate?
Is there something missing?
Does this sound like me—or like AI?
The better I get at using AI, the more I realize the human part isn’t becoming less important.

It may actually be becoming more important.
AI can help us get there faster.
We still need to know where we’re going.

One thing I've learned from working with different organizations:
There is almost never just one "right" way to do something.

I've seen one organization solve a problem with technology, another solve essentially the same problem with a better process, and another solve it with one really organized person and a spreadsheet. 😂
And sometimes?
The spreadsheet wins.

Working across different businesses has made me much less interested in doing something a certain way because "that's how it's done."

I'm much more interested in asking:
What's the simplest solution that actually works for the people who have to use it? Fancy doesn't always mean better.

Monday reminder:
You don't have to have the entire week figured out by 9:00 a.m.

Some weeks I have a beautiful plan.
And some weeks, Monday takes one look at that plan and laughs. 😂

I've learned to ask myself a simpler question:
What's the one thing I can get done today that will make the rest of the week easier?
Start there.
The list will still be waiting for you afterward. (It always is. 😉)

Happy Monday!

Monday morning is a terrible time to figure out what Monday morning is supposed to look like. 😅

One small habit that makes a big difference for me is taking 15 minutes at the end of the week to look ahead.

Before I shut things down, I:
→ Look at next week's calendar. Are there meetings I need to prep for?
→ Identify the 3 things that absolutely need to get done.
→ Look for anything I'm waiting on from someone else — and send the follow-up now instead of realizing Monday that I still don't have it.
→ Check for deadlines that might sneak up on me.
→ Make a quick note of where I need to start Monday morning.

It doesn't mean Monday always goes according to plan. (Does anyone's? 😂)
But there's a big difference between starting the week already knowing your priorities and opening your computer Monday morning to figure them out.
15 minutes on Friday can save a surprising amount of time — and mental energy — on Monday.

Do you have an end-of-week routine that makes the next week easier?

Lately, I've been spending quite a bit of time learning more about SEO for Udemy courses — and it has me thinking about how much AI is changing the way we approach search.

For years, SEO was largely about understanding what people were typing into a search bar.

Now, people are increasingly asking AI for what they need:
"What course should I take to improve my presentation skills?"
"What's the best way to become a better communicator at work?"
"How can I get more comfortable speaking in front of a group?"
That's a pretty big shift.

It means we can't just think about keywords anymore. We also have to think about intent, context, and the actual questions people are trying to answer.

I've been experimenting with looking at course titles, descriptions, topics, and positioning through both lenses:
🔎 Can someone find this through traditional search?
🤖 Can AI understand what this is, who it's for, and when to recommend it?
The more I dig into it, the more I'm convinced that AI isn't making SEO irrelevant.

It's making good SEO more human.
And I'm finding the whole evolution pretty fascinating.

I’m excited to share that registration is open for the 2026 Women in Healthcare LeadHERship Summit!

This year’s theme, Generation WE: Perspectives, feels especially relevant. Leadership isn’t built from one experience, one career path, or one point of view. There’s so much we can learn when we make space for different perspectives and experiences.
📍 Houston, TX
📅 November 4–6, 2026

The LeadHERship Summit brings together women from across the healthcare industry for 2.5 days of connection, professional development, mentorship, education, and meaningful conversations about leadership.

Whether you’re early in your career, an established leader, or somewhere in between, it’s an opportunity to step outside the day-to-day, build new relationships, and come away with fresh ideas and perspectives.

I’m looking forward to seeing this year’s Summit come together!

When something isn't working, it's tempting to fix the thing right in front of you.
Email open rates are down? Change the subject lines.

Clicks are down? Rewrite the copy.
Conversions are down? Change the offer.
But what if the email isn't actually the problem?

I read an interesting CMSWire article that looks at all the reasons an email program can appear to be underperforming—from sending too frequently and deliverability issues to weak automation and other marketing channels competing for the same conversions.

It was a good reminder that sometimes you have to zoom out before you start fixing things.

Before changing what's visible, ask what's happening around it.
Is something else affecting the result?
Are we measuring the right thing?
Has something changed upstream?
Are we treating the symptom instead of the cause?

Troubleshooting is a lot more effective when you diagnose first and fix second.
