How to Create Powerful Momentum by Giving Thanks

I’m not going to lie, this week I’ve been struggling. I have been so overwhelmingly tired. Like pulling-teeth to make it through the day kind of tired. I thought it was from a head cold brewing, but I think it was more to do with the end of school year busy-ness...

Are you a Crab in the Bucket?

The crabs in the bucket metaphor comes from the story of catching crabs in a bucket. When you catch a crab and place it in a bucket, the first thing it will try to do is escape. Now, if you put two  crabs in a bucket, and place them in there together, as soon as one...

How to Handle Unsatisfied Customers

I had something interesting happen this week, and I’m sharing it because I don’t think a lot of coaches / mentors are always sharing real business challenges. It isn’t always rosy and magical with butterflies, even for industry leaders. There are challenges and it is...

Love It or Leave It?

I’ve been having a wonderful time this week reconnecting with family in Canada. We’ve been having a beautiful time at the lake and I have been enjoying being out on the water. Here is a picture of my view for the week – it’s been so peaceful. I also enjoyed...

Do You Sit at the Front of the Plane?

I remember when I used to visualize living in California, back when I was living in Canada. I used to hear the song “Glamorous“ by Fergie a lot. The line, “We flyin’ first class, up in the sky” always stood out for me. I used to picture flying into San Diego and that...
