Exactly 12 years ago today, on Friday, September 3 Exactly 12 years ago today, on Friday, September 30, 2010, I had one and only one entry in my calendar. It read “Set Final Out of Office Message.” In my casual, unimportant-looking clothes, I took a long walk through Zurich and said goodbye to my corporate chapter and hello to a brand new coaching chapter. Then, I pulled my kayak down the street and into a canal, where I paddled home. I had no idea then how my coaching career would evolve. All I knew was that I wanted to serve and support others via my own business. I believed in that mission enough that I knew I’d figure the rest out as I went. I felt free, hungry to create and madly inspired to act on a dream instead of just filing it away. Anyone out there have an experience with setting your final Out of Office (OOO) for a job or career chapter? Or a wish to do so? Check out my LinkedIn for the full story.

Last week, I shared an exercise on reconnecting wi Last week, I shared an exercise on reconnecting with what you really want, what's driving you and/or what you're putting off. Check it out if you missed it. For those who gave it a go, here's a follow-on exercise: 👉 If your insights were on changing something with your current situation, write down a story or voice-record a story set a couple years in the future that describes how you got through the toughest moment of this transition. It matters less what you say than that you have a version of this conversation planted in your mind already. Make something out and see how it sounds when you say it. 👉 If your insights were on gratitude for your current situation, write a short note to 2 people who helped you get where you are OR pick one person you will give extra support to today. 👉 If your insights were on procrastination, come up with ONE meaningful action you will take in the next 24 hours toward whatever you are delaying. Don't worry about the actions after it – pick one that matters and then do it. Remember: "If you always do what you've always done, you always get what you've always gotten." Let me know how it goes trying something different. . . . #coach #coaching #businesscoach #mindset #growthmindset #careergrowth #entrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #perseverance #visualization #selfdevelopment #growth #highperformer #reconnect #navigate #launch
Building your own successful business isn't about Building your own successful business isn't about X, it's really about Y.

“Taking a few waves in the face and feeling your “Taking a few waves in the face and feeling your heart race is a beautiful part of feeling alive.” -Me With 1,000 islands to select from & frequently changing weather conditions, each day of my recent sea kayaking adventure in Sweden offered an opportunity – better said, a REQUIREMENT – to navigate. Navigation is different than route planning. Navigation includes the actual movement – the ACTION – required to test a route plan against your real environment. There’s no room in successful navigation for procrastination in the face of adversity. Paddling a kayak, in the middle of an open crossing in rough water – you can’t sit there and wait for the conditions to fit the plan. You have to NAVIGATE based on what you’re facing to the best place for you to be at that time. . . . #coach #coaching #coachlife #navigate #navigatechange #navigatingchange #facingchallenges #entrepreneur #highperformance #highperformers #mindset #mindsetmatters

Today, I challenge you to reconnect. Set a 5-minut Today, I challenge you to reconnect. Set a 5-minute timer, pick one of these three prompts and reflect on whatever comes to mind. 👉 How would I explain this moment or phase in my life to my much older self and what would Older Me say? Imagine speaking with 85-year-old you. 👉 Is there a story behind the story that's driving my choices and life today? If so, what is that story and how is it showing up in both expected and unexpected ways? 👉 Am I doing enough of the things that bring me joy? Around the right people? Experiencing what I want to experience? Putting it off altogether? Waiting? Cap it at 5 minutes, so you don't start overthinking. Journal it in rough notes. And then, try it again for a total of 3 days in a row. What shows up may be valuable not only in insights but also in your willingness to invest time in yourself. Try this exercise and drop your thoughts in the comments! . . . #coach #coaching #businesscoach #mindset #growthmindset #careergrowth #entrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #perseverance #visualization #selfdevelopment #growth #highperformer #reconnect #navigate #launch
Visualize your moments in the cold, shivering whil Visualize your moments in the cold, shivering while wet. See the moments of hunger. Visualize the time spent in chaos and confusion, suffering, yet enduring. See yourself encounter problems and WORK THROUGH THEM. If you become an expert at building those films in your mind, you won’t need to visualize yourself at the finish line. You will have already secured that in your mind. . . . #coach #coaching #businesscoach #mindset #growthmindset #careergrowth #entrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #selfdevelopment #growth #highperformer #reconnect #navigate #launch
Nature did the work. Just returned from an amazing Nature did the work. Just returned from an amazing weeklong sea kayaking adventure in Sweden. Paddling, camping, guitar by the fire. Sublime. This was Phase 1 of a yearlong adventure project I’m supporting a client with. It’s an outstanding example of a highly successful business leader investing in immersive nature breaks to create space for clarity and energy for high calibre leadership. Wind, rain, sun, birds, sea, campfire, sounds – nature did the work. The mind was quiet in a way that’s hard to replicate outside of nature. This created space for connection, insights and rebuilding energy. Once we immersed, nature did the work. . . . #coach #coaching #businesscoach #mindset #growthmindset #careergrowth #entrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #perseverance #visualization #selfdevelopment #growth #highperformer #reconnect #navigate #launch #nature #adventure #outdoors

The introvert in me is happy alone with my laptop and time to dive into the many writing projects that light me up. The extrovert in me loves to be on stage inspiring an audience and making new friends.

Are you creatively avoiding your desire to start something new?⁠⁠Let's have a quick heart-to-heart….⁠⁠If you've got something in mind you've truly wanted to do for years, either:⁠⁠A) take bold action to start it in the next 3 weeks⁠⁠or⁠⁠B) scratch it off your list & redirect your energy elsewhere⁠⁠If you don't scratch it off your list and also don't immediately start, you likely never will. It will show up again on your 2024 list and will ultimately find itself in the purgatory of your unfulfilled dreams! 😅⁠⁠Maybe you're different. Maybe you'll talk about it for 10+ years and then finally reach some magic moment (kids out of school, retirement, win the lottery), and you'll do it.⁠⁠If so, full respect to you!⁠⁠But most people who keep talking about their dream and keep procrastinating its launch simply won't ever do it.⁠⁠What's your dream new thing to do?⁠⁠Is it writing a book? Starting a business or new career? Running a 10K? Taking a sabbatical? Traveling abroad?⁠⁠Whatever it is, challenge yourself right now to make a tough decision: A) bold action within 3 weeks or B) scratch it off the list.⁠⁠Please comment with your decision, and I'll check in with you during the next 3 weeks to offer you some extra energy and motivation!!⁠⁠#entrepreneurmindset #fearlessmotivation #motivation #dontsettle #gogetter #takeaction #startsomethingnew #businesscoach #coach #coaching #toughdecisions #growthmindset #growthquotes #motivationalthoughts #motivationalcoach #motivationoftheday #inspirational #reachyourgoals #speakingbizcoach ...

I wish I had understood this years sooner, before unnecessarily torching energy I’ll never get back!⁠⁠ 20-year old me sort of got it, when I fell in love with triathlon and lost 1/4 of my body weight. But it took many years later to truly get this lesson around the rest of life.👇🏼⁠⁠💡When you create a way to bring alignment energy into your life, you don’t need resolutions, restarts or reinventions.💡⁠⁠Sustaining change is about ALIGNING with the energy you need instead of trying to ADHERE to a set of rules or an endless list of boxes to check.⁠⁠Align ✅⁠Adhere ❌⁠⁠For example, here are 3 things I want this year:⁠⁠- Be a healthy athlete⁠- Improve as a musician⁠- Grow my business⁠⁠Instead of setting up a plan, measurements and targets for each (adherence approach), I will commit to the following (alignment approach):⁠⁠- Plan several adventures that excite me and require a high level of fitness to complete.⁠⁠- Focus on the style of music that first lit me up as a teen (blues & bluegrass).⁠⁠- Write, create and give away content on every topic that excites me, whether I can tie it to business or not.⁠⁠I’m breathing easier already thinking of all that this alignment will bring, none of it forced!⁠⁠How about you -- got one word that illustrates alignment you want this year?⁠⁠#change #resolutions #alignment ...
