When I want to be efficient and focused with limited time, I hack myself – here’s how: It’s single handedly the best structure for me to accomplish my “too many things” in a day. What I’ve repeatedly found is it can all be done if I’m focused. I know I’ll use the time I’ve allowed, regardless of whether it’s too much or too little. Learning to design how you operate within the allotted time… View Article
Recently, I was recognized by a team as being fearless. Though I was touched from what they offered as a compliment, I had to laugh out loud as well. If there’s anything I’m not, it’s fearless. I believe I’m courageous and confident in my abilities, yet I don’t think of that as fearless. In the same way I appreciate the adage “courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s having the fear and… View Article
Stuff happens. Every day, things are on or off track and work or don’t. As a leader, how you deal with all the peaks and valleys of running a business and leading people keeps you on your toes. Most days, running a business is easy, and leading people is challenging. I’m a passionate person. With some level of frequency, I’ve been… View Article
I see it every session with our EOS teams. They are competent, independent, nimble, opportunistic, over-committed, growth-oriented leaders. They are hard-working, smart, and caring people who want to make an impact as leaders and through their businesses. They are open-minded and curious, direct and challenging, but they just aren’t seeing the ROI they deserve for all their hard work. They are a team… View Article

When you’re grounded in your life and centered in a way that you have perspective, even amongst busyness, commitments and challenges, they are just that – challenges. When you’re untethered in your life and you’re disrupted at a fundamental level, the smallest interruptions, curve balls, challenges (like traffic) seem like insurmountable events. Gratitude, journaling, sleep, and exercise play a major part in whether or… View Article

Are you setting yourself up for success or have you fallen into a habitual series of actions that deter from your best day? Three questions to consider for an effective day: If you begin your day hitting snooze with… View Article
Do you bring energy to all you do? I love my work. So does my husband. According to the statistics, we’re part of the 15% or less in America who do so. People comment often about my abundant energy, and when I’m working, it increases because I’m enjoying what I’m doing. Sometimes, I’m working with teams through some sticky situations. The kind they’ve been avoiding until our session. I relish these opportunities to open… View Article
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Life has a way of putting us in situations where we’re not sure if we should pursue our dreams or let our doubt hold us back. But here’s the thing: doubt can be worse than failing. When you doubt yourself, you stop yourself from even trying, and that’s always a big loss. As scary as it seems, failure (or not attaining what you… View Article
The greatest opportunity during communication is for miscommunication. Read that again. I know I need to. Somehow, in my day to day, I forget regularly that it’s up to me (as the speaker) to ensure any person (whether an audience, a family member, a client, or friend) understands what I mean.
