I’m in the final stages of editing my book and there’s much work left to do. I’ve been working on my book since, well, the real beginning was 2 years ago. In that time there have been starts and stops, celebrations and setbacks, tears and recriminations. The journey is more important than the destination. The process of writing my book … Read More
How to get more of what you want
I often ask new clients what they want from their career and most people find this question surprisingly difficult question to answer. Too often people do what they think they should do, or want what they think they should want. It’s uncommon to know what you actually, really, truly want, particularly when it comes to making decisions that affect other … Read More
Read this before abandoning your dreams
People are judgmental jerks. Yes, even you. In fact, I bet you’re the most judgmental jerk when it comes to your dreams. I see it all the time in my work as a career coach– intelligent and capable people, aka you, who think you aren’t good enough to have a fulfilling career and earn a decent living. Maybe you show … Read More
Overcoming Impostor Syndrome
I’m not afraid of being found out as fake. I don’t fear being a fraud. The first time I heard of impostor syndrome, I didn’t relate. “I don’t feel like an impostor,” I thought.

Progress is the new perfect
It’s easy to remember your failures. You’re keenly aware of things you haven’t done. You set goals based on subjective indicators of success, as if numbers are all it takes to make you happy. The right number on the scale. The right number in your bank account. The right number in your zip code. All too often you fail to … Read More
Stepping outside your comfort zone
Are you playing small? Do you tolerate situations that don’t serve you? Have you been stuck in a rut? As humans we inherited a predisposition to avoid risks and play it safe. This made sense when everyday life was harsher and more perilous. Most of us are not in that situation, yet the bias to avoid risk remains. The temptation to … Read More
How to master productivity
The #1 myth in achieving your goals is “just do it”. Before you can actually get the job or make a 6-figure income, you have to do more than “just do it”. If it were that easy the weight-loss industry wouldn’t be making 20 billion a year. To create change, to grow, to level up we need more than a slogan. Sorry, … Read More
How to believe in yourself when life gets hard
It’s easy to believe in yourself when things are going well. When you’ve just been hired in an exciting new job, when you sign your first client, when you start a new relationship.
