Alexa, You Are Ruining My Life
Does Alexa live at your house? If so, you’re probably talking to her more than you think. For most of us that have this relatively new piece of artificial intelligence in our households, at least one out of our first three conversations every single day are with Alexa.
That’s kind of scary. But there’s no doubt Alex’s AI makes life simpler in a lot of ways, so maybe it’s worth it. However, Alexa also provides a never-ending stream of connectivity and, therefore, possible distraction.
For example,…

Commission-Based Coaching
If you’ve read any of my other blogs, you’ve probably heard me say, “Coaching is an investment.” But that doesn’t mean the value of coaching is perceived the same by everyone.
When I sit down with individual prospective coaching clients, and we get to the part of the conversation where we discuss price, I always ask, “How much do you think the work we will do together is worth?” I’ve found this question stumps most people, probably because most services and products in our world do not operate …

Want More Energy? Start Set Boundaries
It was 9 AM on Christmas morning when my phone rang. It was my old boss. I knew she had been struggling with her team as well as financially and had been working overtime. Today, Christmas Day, she could not access the computer system at the office. So she called me.
She called me because:
She called me because:
- I have a tiny bit of computer savviness (not the real reason she called), and
- I had always answered her calls and, as soon as I understood there was an issue, had always attempted to find and implement a…
How Uncertainty Gives Me Hope
Today, I am waking up in a world that feels full of individuals who bet it all on black and lost. It is a world filled with panic and uncertainty. We are all suffering from a lack of clarity, especially around who can (and should) be trusted to provide vital, life-saving information.
Never before have we, as the humxn race, had more access to information. Never before have we felt so unsure as to what decision to make. Choice = Opportunity
As COVID has “gone viral,” so have our conversations and t…

Just Do It? Sort of
I recently had a client tell me, “I finally listened to you and stopped my cycle of researching and planning. I just did what we had been talking about. Guess what!? It worked!”
Are you a researcher or a planner like my client? I confess I am a total and complete planner. My mother-in-law jokes about me being our family’s cruise director because I always have a plan and itinerary for everything. I simply like to be prepared.
But over the years, I’ve learned even the most perfect plan will likely n…

What is Burnout?
Burnout is when your tank is completely empty. In more clinical terms, it’s when you are experiencing a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. You may have heard someone say “I am totally burned out!” Or you may have experienced this state of being yourself. Sometimes individuals blame it on their jobs, their families, or something else. The interesting thing about burnout, though, is that only you can control your emotional, mental, and p…

My Obituary
My Obituary
Don’t worry, I am not dead. At least, not yet (clearly, since I am writing this).You might think it odd that I am writing my own obituary. You may even consider it vain. But I believe writing your own obituary is actually a pretty worthwhile exercise. (Scroll down if you want to skip the backstory and get straight to the list of reasons why I’m doing this).
When I was in college, I took a course on the Psychology of Death and Dying. In the course, we were asked to write our own obitu…
The Rollercoaster of Business Ownership: Beating the Blame Game
My best friend and UBER successful entrepreneur and author, Dr. Jana, posted this image on Instagram a few weeks ago:
If you have ever run your own company, this image may resonate with you. When I saw it, I had to laugh at its simple yet very real message. Every business owner I know has struggled with exactly these thoughts!
For example, while sitting with a peer yesterday, we took a look back over the past year together. She said, “I cannot believe that is how much I actually made. It feels lik…

Be You
BE YOU… because you are not very good at being anyone else.
Today, I shared a post on my personal IG (@bunnyhas6legs) from the Huffington Post about Katie Sowers being the first openly gay female to coach a team in the Super Bowl. Upon reading this article, I was stoked for Katie, not because she is gay but because she was 100% herself and totally open about it while still taking action on her dream.
As Katie has shared, coaching football has been her dream for as long as she can remember. Now, n…
