Burnout Leads to Big Biz Shifts for Me!

1. What’s going on? As of the beginning of July, I am pivoting away from working primarily with other coaches on business building to focus my professional energies instead on doing more organizational work, with an emphasis on trust, relationship, and team building. Over the last twenty (20) months, I’ve worked closely with a variety of companies, non-profits, and governmental organizations to create more compassionate, collaborative, empathic, and productive work environments—and I find …

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a question I see and hear often: Why do some coaches seem to really knock it out of the park with their business success while others really struggle and fight to survive?

So many hats to wear, so many unending tasks to complete, so much loneliness day-in and day-out.  Over dinner one cold January night with a couple of dear, dear friends, I shared my feelings.

June is a Time of Transition

Hi Coachy Loves. I wanted to just pop in today because it’s June now. Something always happens in June that I tend to forget about each year. That is that June is a time of transition. For a lot of us coach solopreneurs, June is a time when we start to see some clients slide, meaning a lot of our clients will either drop out or new clients aren’t coming in as abundantly as they might be at other times during the year. It’s also a time for those of us with children when the kids getting …
