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 …

Your Biz In Pictures

I met with a new client earlier today who, at the end of our session together, said to me “thank you for honoring my creative + visual side...you heard me when I said I need to stay away from only making lists of goals and focusing only on the number of people I’m reaching each day, and I really appreciate that...my last coach didn’t get that part of me, and I am so glad you are willing to honor it.” I so get that statement.
