Self-preservation can be a dangerous trap. The need to prove something or to protect yourself can seriously diminish your ability to perform at your best. To fight this, there has to be a willingness to lay yourself down. The best way forward is often counterintuitive. When we take a step back, we can become aware of everything that we already have, and we begin from a place of enough instead of a place of lack.

What if what is standing between you and your dream is not actually your skills or your strategy as much as it a story? It is a story that you have told yourself about yourself and it continually sabotages you. It keeps you from showing up, opening up, and putting your most creative self out there consistently. What if your dream is demanding you to give up that old story and finally step into a new one?

Through my personal journey and also through walking alongside others, I have discovered that within every individual, there is both a lion and a lamb. Usually, the two are off balance in one way or another, and that creates fear and insecurity. We have to learn to simultaneously embrace pressure and also know that we have nothing to prove. When you can harness the power of both the lion AND the lamb, there can be a beautiful tension between these two forces that are working inside of you.

Your whole life is an ongoing unfolding of who you were made to be. Oftentimes, the goals we want to achieve and the places we want to go require us to change how we think and act. We all have challenges and limitations that stand in our way during this journey, and many of these can be stripped away with practice. But some limitations are built into who we are - they are meant to be embraced, not rejected. When we have a longing for growth and change, sometimes we have to take a step back and realize that who we are is already enough. This journey is about becoming the best and most effective version of who God made you.

I have yet to meet a person or leader who wouldn't immediately benefit from having the fierce conversation that they have been avoiding. Most relationships and organizations live or die on their ability to regularly have healthy and/or tough conversations. These conversations are not easy and can be scary, but if done well they can heal, mend or even transform relationships and organizations. Here are a few tips I give my clients. Enjoy!

We all have ideas about what we want for our future. When we talk about dreams, it is easy to picture our ideal results, but it is much harder to value the process. Taking the first step can seem absolutely paralyzing. Today we’re talking about an analogy that can help transform goals into action. Ready, aim, fire. Or as I like to say: dream, learn, do. If we can identify where we are getting stuck in this process, we can silence the fear of failure and take the first step.

Let's talk about how intention and practice can transform pain into purpose, weakness into strength, and struggle into a story.
