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 Went on a J.O.B. Interview

Oh-so-quietly last month, I went on a J.O.B. interview. Wha?!?!? Yes, it’s true. For several months, I’d been feeling burned out, bummed out, and kinda blue about running my business. 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.

Your Paycheck is More Than You Think

Hi Coachy Loves. I’m sitting out here in this beautiful out of doors because it is summer. You can see the beautiful flowers behind me and the breeze is blowing, and the summer is here and it’s just gorgeous. I was having a client call earlier and we talked about the fact that it’s summer now. I was telling this client last month that one of the things I go in and add into my calendar is I write in “Protect June.” By that, I mean June is a frickin’ crazy month for a lot of us. Schools are …
